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.

    Any idea when the Revs will announce a new sporting director and head coach?

    Any hints to who they are looking at?

    Give us the Tommy Scoops on the NYCFC.SOURCE Twitter account, what’s been going on with you two?

    And what are your thoughts on other similar accounts like MLSTransfers, MLSMoves, etc?

    Hey Tom, how does one keep such a well groomed mustache?

    Follow up - what are your favorite stadiums/environments in MLS?

    I’ll hang up and listen.

    Why do you hate my team? (Please ignore my flair, it’s irrelevant to the question.)

    Real and better question: if you were good enough to be an MLS starter at whatever your preferred position is, which team would you be on?

    How much do journalists rely on Wikipedia for rumors and player histories? There’s been quite a few instances of rumored transfers being “leaked” to Wikipedia, both true and hoax.

      wikipedia for rumors? lmao literally never. well i’ll just speak for myself. and i’d highly recommend to anyone reading this to not use wikipedia for rumors.

      and while we’re here to actually use some media literacy to determine whether the random twitter rumor you see is real or not.

      i use transfermarkt and fbref for stats more than wiki but wiki helps with macro stuff too (and links out to a lot of stuff so that’s helpful)

    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.
