World Soccer XXX: We Have Men Too!

USMNT Players Union Writes Scathing Letter to U.S. Soccer Backing USWNT in CBA Fight

So basically the MNT players don't want to take a pay cut? Shocking.

Also, Anti-Trust allegations? Do you want to watch the 2026 World Cup in China on TV? Because that's how you to watch the 2026 World Cup in China on TV.

Both teams get paid way too much. Cut their pay and pour more money into development in all 50 states (well 55 in US Soccer's case).

Edit: It should be noted that the MNT is negotiating a new CBA and have been playing without a new one for three years.

Men's team is definitely overpaid given their lack of wins in major competitions. Not a single world cup title? Embarrassing.

Given how poor youth development is in the US (never mind college) it's not embarrassing in the least. If changes don't happen the women's program will be passed by inside of 20 years.

Loons looking for a rare road W this season and up 2-1 in stoppage time and Finley makes a terrible play inside the box in stoppage time. It was avoidable but that was a terrible call by the ref. 2-2 after VAN makes the PK.

In no way was that a penalty. Just a horrible call

Just watched the clip. I can see that being called (Vancouver player did get position in front of the ball) but I can also see that not being called.

My issue with is the Vancouver player initiates contact and then goes down. How is that on the defense? Unless there is something I'm not seeing...

The US beats Mexico. Again. Wins the Gold Cup.

A moment so big Alexi Lalas was rendered speechless.

[J.D.]

Over the top from Lalas. I'd expect something like that if the US ever wins a World Cup.

I'm not a tactician nor do I know our talent pool that well but results matter. To beat Mexico in two finals and this one with a B team...now we're cooking. Big credit to Berhalter.

The US didn't give up a goal from the run of play during the entire tournament, one goal to Martinique on a PK.

Marcelo Balboa is rubbing it in on Univision.
