What’s up! I’m an MLS and USMNT insider with The Athletic as well as Apple TV. I’ve previously written for MLSSoccer.com as well as The Guardian. I’m here to answer some questions starting at 11am ET.
Let’s get after whatever you want. Messi in Miami, Phil Neville in Portland, USMNT stuff, who’s next to come to MLS, mustache questions, all good.
FC Dallas news?
Best way to start a career in soccer in the US?
Who is more likely to be back in MLS, Arena or Williams?

Any idea when the Revs will announce a new sporting director and head coach?
Any hints to who they are looking at?
Tom, I got a pork roll, egg and cheese on an everything bagel yesterday and covered it in blue agave Sriracha. Do you approve or should I repent for a New Jersey sin?
More seriously - who is the biggest name you could realistically see transferred into MLS in 2024 aside from Suarez?
If you could recreate the original Columbus Crew logo with two other well-mustachioed men who would you choose and why?
So if the Union thought Bobby Wood did something egregious as well why did nothing come of it.
Also mls cup matchup and who wins.
Hi Tom! Any update on DCU’s GM search?
What is the most wild MLS rumor your heard and didn’t report on only for it to turn out to be true?
Any stadium rumors out there? All eyes seem to be on the Revs now that NYCFC have their situation squared away. Any other “surprises” floating around?
What’s taking so long in the DC United GM search? Do you know of any names they’re looking at?
Are there any rumblings coming from the Revs regarding the new coach and new sporting director? The MLS off-season really isn’t that long from the end of playoffs to training camps so I feel like they really need to get this squared away soon so they can make the necessary roster improvements to contend next season.
with the revs eliminated, the sporting director search will accelerate and im sure they want to wrap that up soon.
they have a good base. any team with carles gil is always gonna have a chance. but a potential attacking midfield group of borrero-gil-chancalay next year is tasty.
Do you believe there are any roster rule changes coming this off-season to MLS?
Talk about the Penne Vodka pizza.
People keep mentioning Troy Lesesne did tremendous work behind the scenes to stabilize the Red Bulls. Are you able to elaborate? Was it on player management (Struber/Vanzeir fallout), player development or tactical adjustments? Are the signs pointing to Red Bulls keeping him or are we going to get another German/Austrian acolyte?
Also, are the Red Bulls really going to spend big as promised?
