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.

    the actual play on the field!!! i don’t care a ton about the traditional media coverage – i do not blame shows like PTI or around the horn for not covering it. you can’t cover anything. what do we gain by people who don’t watch talking about the game for 2 mins cus they feel like they have to?

    but a lot of the convo is dominated by messi, or who’s next, or what’s next, or how to fix this, or how to change rules. i’m super excited for the next rounds of the playoffs here. a lot of fun teams and great storylines (cincy v philly, maybe lafc v seattle, etc). this is what we’ve been grinding for eight months or whatever for. this is what all the time spent in may watching a random, bad wednesday night game is for!
