If you’re a fan of New York City FC you’ve had a rough past week trying to avoid being made fun. First, NYCFC held a “home” game in front of 1,000s of opposing fans. Now an embarrassing and flat out awful NYCFC championship banner reveal has all of Major League Soccer laughing at the club again.
My sixth journalism sense is already tingling. I know someone in the comments will have the audacity to say, “wow, slow news day?” Yeah Brad from Arkansas, it was a slower day for me — it’s because I couldn’t stop thinking of a Bernardo Silva fan video from the other night.

Everyone is rooting for Christian Eriksen to succeed, even his opponents. On Saturday the Dane got into a scuffle with Norwich’s Brandon Williams. The scuffle was instantly halted when Williams realized the guy, he was about to fight was the beloved Eriksen. The Williams Eriksen incident is sure to put a smile on any fan’s face.
Charles Barkley wants to make it clear: This U.S. soccer jersey he’s never going to wear (or fit into) is a women’s jersey. He’d never be caught dead with a USMNT jersey.
Maybe Chuck needs to catch up on his country’s soccer teams.
América decidió despedir a Santiago Solari, pero las consecuencias de su mala campaña continúan trayendo miserias al club. De hecho, tras la última victoria de Santos Laguna sobre Pumas, Las Águilas literalmente tocaron fondo y son los actuales sotaneros del Clausura 2022.
The arrival of Jesse Marsch in the Premier League as Leeds United manager marks the third instance of an American guiding a soccer franchise in Britain's Major Top League (The BMTL).
