Dot The Map
We're back and this time, I've got a friend. As a man once dubbed the "Soccer Eagle" who then turned that nickname into a running bit that I've now revived for this extremely serious weekly newsletter/brain dump on the sport of

The Most Broke
Hi! So I'm back. Apologies for the interruption in regular service here at Soccer Eagle—my trip and broadcast schedule in Albuquerque for last week's big Meow Wolf Night show for New Mexico United's annual collision of art and soccer prevented me from squeezing

Moves and Grooves
The newsletter takes on a slightly different look this week, thanks to a bit of a time crunch at the Soccer Eagle home office. Why is there a time crunch, you are surely asking? Because Morning Kickaround, the thrice-weekly webshow I'm doing on YouTube with Rob Kerr

What A Poch Believes
USMNT roster time is a truly special time in the world of American soccer. Nothing brings out the angst and self-loathing quite like the naming of fewer than two dozen players to represent our aspiring soccer nation, regardless of the stakes. It's probably more indicative of our

How We Remember
Heyo, it's a newsletter post from your friend Jason. For the second newsletter in a row, we're talking American soccer history. That makes sense, since it's one of my favorite subjects. It also makes sense because the universe hath provided.

Cosmos 3: Back To Jersey
I want this Cosmos to be the last Cosmos because it's the Cosmos that lasts. There's a stadium, there's expertise, and there's a New Jersey soccer legend in Giuseppe Rossi to run the playing side of the organization.

Sniff Sniff
Arrivederci! Insigne and Bernardeschi are done in Toronto and process of rebuilding the wake of their destruction can now begin. We all anxiously await MLSE's next move, which is undoubtedly to spend eye-watering money on yet another questionable high-profile arrival from Europe. Agents are drooling in

Major League Something
Turns out the recently crowned European champion, a team that routed an Inter Milan outfit celebrated for its defensive stability and technical acumen, is a little bit better than a Major League Soccer team made up of players who haven't seen their prime since Harry and Meghan were
