My personal thoughts in The @Guardian on how soccer leaders around the world have a duty to protect the sport and save FIFA from itself by opposing Infantino’s egotistical and transactional vision of the beautiful game: theguardian.com/football/202…

My thoughts in @nytimes: Infantino’s disdain for good governance has pushed FIFA to a breaking point. To defeat his egotistic and transactional vision of soccer, Federations around the world need to oppose not only his current scheme but Infantino himself. nytimes.com/2026/07/31/opini…

Proud of Concacaf coming together to reject Infantino’s attempt to sell out the soul of the sport to private interests 💪⚽️

When I wrote this, some called it “blistering” & “scathing.” Given what we’ve learned since, it wasn’t harsh enough. Soccer’s soul is not Infantino’s to sell; Federations must reject his hypercommercialized and autocratic leadership of the game. Good for @UEFA for drawing a line.

The World Cup is the pinnacle of soccer, but our mission is to grow the game from the very top to the grassroots. That's why it was a priority this summer to also visit some members who didn't host any games (AK, MT, UT). When we say we're growing #SoccerEverywhere, we mean it!

Felicidades a La Furia Roja por su segunda estrella! ⭐️🔴⭐️ Fue un honor recibirlos en Estados Unidos y un deleite presenciar la calidad de su fútbol en vivo – son unos campeones muy merecidos. Ya tenemos muchas ganas de disputar el siguiente Mundial en su país! 🇪🇸

Funnily enough, I was in Alaska (what @Simon_Hughes__ calls American soccer’s final frontier) the same week this was written, precisely to hear from our grassroots members about how @ussoccer can help them grow #SoccerEverywhere. And yes, I did run into a bear! ⚽️🐻 – at Juneau, AK
There is one American state that soccer has barely reached. Yet a player born there has featured for Mexico in the 2026 World Cup, and plays club football for Spanish giants Atletico Madrid Welcome to Alaska, U.S. soccer's final frontier. ✍️ @Simon_Hughes__ 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/7384054…

On my way to the Bay to support the #USMNT in the knockouts! Top of the group and playing at home in front of tens of thousands of our own fans – #WhyNotUS? 🇺🇸⚽️
Everything still left to play for. We're set to take on Bosnia and Herzegovina in the Round of 32 on July 1st. 👊

It's gameday in Seattle! I’m incredibly lucky to experience this World Cup from a unique perspective thanks to my role at @ussoccer, so I'm providing a small window into what I’m seeing & hearing during these five weeks through my newsletter, Seeing the Present. Link below! 🌎🏆
