“Gentlemen, You Will Never Win Anything”
Marcelo Bisela Explodes on Mexican Federation
Marcelo Bielsa wanted to coach Mexico, and had an offer that would double his salary. But he walked away because they couldn’t meet his demands, such as building new training fields or giving him total control of selecting players and staff.
Our take on the situation: For anyone that follows Mexican soccer, this isn’t new. The Federation is rotten to the core and they want a puppet as a coach. Bielsa will never be that.
American Champions in Wembley!
Chris Richards and Matt Turner Go Into the Record Books
Only two Americans have won the FA Cup before this weekend, and now, it’s four with Chris Richards and Matt Turner. How’s it feel? “It’s dope,” Richards says.
Our take on the situation: Richards was immense in the final, and has been immense for Crystal Palace this season. Turner may not have played the final, but he did contribute by playing three games in the earlier rounds.
Party Time in Eindhoven!
Malik Tillman and PSV Are Celebrating in Style
When there were five games left to go, Ajax were leading the Eredivisie by nine points ahead of PSV. In the end, PSV somehow jumped ahead of them to win it. Malik Tillman loves parties and now he is going to be enjoying the title celebration parties.
Our take on the situation: It’s incredible to see PSV still winning the league after being far back with five games to go. It’s great to see Tillman, and three other Americans like Ricardo Pepi, Sergiño Dest, and Richard Ledezma celebrating.
He’s Been Going to World Cups Since He Was One.
Sebastian Berhalter Has a Lifelong Dream of Playing for USMNT
You might not see a bigger USMNT fan than Sebastian Berhalter. He was around the team in 2002, 2006, and 2022 World Cups thanks to his dad Gregg Berhalter. Now, he wants to go to 2026 as a player of the team.
Our take on the situation: Sebastian Berhalter and Vancouver Whitecaps have been playing great this season. If he can get selected for the Gold Cup and ball out, he can definitely be playing in the World Cup.
$350 Custom Bricks at the New Training Center
Landon Donovan Won’t be Buying It
U.S. Soccer is selling custom bricks at the new training center for $350 a piece. Landon Donovan received that email and he believes he’s done enough for U.S. Soccer, they don’t need his $350.
Our take on the situation: The new training center is expensive. Even with Arthur Blank’s donation, U.S. Soccer is finding ways to earn money and make ends meet. But with this and expensive game tickets, fans won’t be too happy.
Confidence or Arrogance
Ashlyn Harris Does Not Like “Average People”
In a recent interview, former USWNT keeper Ashlyn Harris says she doesn’t f*ck with average people and they make her uncomfortable. She chooses to be exceptional every day and she only knows how to live at the top.
Our take on the situation: Harris was a bench keeper for the USWNT and only played 25 games for them in nine years. So it’s a bit odd to see her speaking like this.
