Sebastian Berhalter has been excellent from the start of the World Cup until now. You’re either biased or crazy if you can’t see it. #USMNT

Full-throated version of “Country Roads” now echoing around the stadium. #usmnt

"The whole energy shifted..." Mauricio Pochettino just did his matchday-1 press conference ahead of #USMNT vs Peru in Orlando. Some pretty notable quotes, imo. Particularly re the brutal ending to their 2026 World Cup adventure, that 4-1 round-of-16 shellacking by Belgium. Translated from Español:

A huge night of North American soccer on the cards 🃏 - USMNT vs. Peru - 14 MLS matches - Full USL slates - Concacaf Nations League - and so much more! What are you watching tonight, sickos? ⤵️

Cavan Sullivan starts in his #USMNT debut vs. Peru, along with three more Philly-area natives: Auston Trusty, George Campbell and Matt Freese. Neil Pierre and Frankie Westfield are on the bench. The story, and details on how to watch: www.inquirer.com/soccer/cavan... via @phillysport.bsky.social

Team USA has a friendly with Peru tomorrow so I decided to surprise my Telemundo colleague Miguel by sneaking a Peru shirt under my USMNT shirt. As I hoped, he loved it, and my recitation of "¡Vamos Peruanos!" just about had him spinning in his chair. ☺️🇺🇸🇵🇪
