The supporters groups deserve to be close to the fields not in the nosebleed seats
When the U.S. men’s national soccer team plays at home, its most loyal fans traditionally sit right behind a goal to cheer on the team.
But when the Americans kick off the World Cup next week, FIFA is seating them in the “nose bleeds,” according to a major U.S. fan group.
“These are the worst tickets that I’ve ever seen out of the five World Cups I’ve been to,” American Outlaws President Brian Hexsel says. nbcnews.com/sports/soccer/te…

Incredible scoop here from @KatieDowd, Suga secretly ran San Francisco's Bay to Breakers before BTS' Stanford show.

There are those games that seem destined to be 0-0 draws, and Bay FC's nil-nil tie against the Utah Royals had all the hallmarks of such a game. soccerbayarea.com/2026/05/10…

They were out-shot, out-possessed, and even “out-physical-ed” on the night, but the Quakes emerged from their battle with the Whitecaps with a point, which means they’re still the best team in Major League Soccer, at least for another couple of days.

Why didn’t Solo Ball reveal his injury earlier? One reason: Scouting reports.
"They can chase me off screens, that could open up shots for AK. So I'm not going to tell people about my wrist. I'm going to keep playing game, find other ways to affect it." ctinsider.com/sports/uconn-m…

Stacy Johns, who had just started as Bay FC's CEO, has left the club to become the president of the Los Angeles Sparks.
She was splitting her time between NorCal/SoCal when she told owners she would prefer to be closer to her family. 📝 w/ @KO_Crowley
