The 2026 MLS Academy Guide is here.

I am very proud of this — nothing like it exists. Years of research, interviews and conversations.

If you're a parent researching academies or a fan interested in 🇺🇸 player development — this is your resource.

Hall busy and bothersome. Kochen's save was the most important play of the half in the big picture — continues to build confidence. Another great set play from Seb.

Finished watching the U20 game. Wasn't good, wasn't bad. Probably the better team outside of finishing chances, which is the most important thing.

The 3 starting attackers provided very little that wasn't generated from Japan turning it over.

Jude Terry looked the most impressive of the starters to me. Cupps was solid.

Need more from Harbor Miller. He was too quiet.

De Marzi should have done better on first goal, but had a couple of nice moments as well.

Randell and Wesseh were much more dynamic when they came in. Those are my starting wingers for this team right now.

Gonzalo needs to find a striker.

This is good stuff from Jude Terry. LAFC, give him 2,000 minutes next year and watch him become a $5–10M midfielder. Or some other club should swoop in and do it for you.

The 2012 class is going on their first International trip to Portugal and Spain. What a way to introduce these boys to International football. My top 6 rated players in this class right now are all here.
