USMNT legend Clint Dempsey on head coach Mauricio Pochettino and some of his statements ahead of the 2026 World Cup 😯🎙️ @MenInBlazers
“You go from saying you think we could win the World Cup.”
“Then you saying it’s not a soccer culture.”
“Then you saying we don’t have the players to do it.”
“I just don’t think there’s any need to say certain things. I’d be trying to build everyone up.”
NFL legend Rob Gronkowski: “If we didn’t have American football, I think the USMNT would be a top 3 team in the world. … All our best athletes play American football.” ⚽️🏈
What if our best athletes played soccer? 😆🇺🇸

Seattle Sounders and Reign FC are building a FLOATING soccer field on the waterfront for the World Cup.
“Seattle Soccer Celebration” will feature a custom-built pitch atop a maritime vessel docked near Pier 62 at Waterfront Park.
The space will host watch parties, fan events, cultural programming, and community soccer activations throughout the tournament — with live World Cup matches shown on a massive LED screen overlooking Elliott Bay.
Seattle might’ve just won the World Cup fan experience.
Get ready to score safely.

Christian Pulisic addressed the end of his relationship with professional golfer Alexa Melton, having nothing but positive and nice things to say about her and their time together 🙏
Pulisic also opened up about the gruelling tug-of-war between his career and his personal life: “I have a very specific way of thinking about performance. I’ve always wanted to be closer to the training ground, because that’s my work, and that’s what I do every single day. It’s helped me in a lot of ways. It has also made me miserable at times.”
