American soccer fans were most interested in 10 MLS clubs, six Premier League clubs, three NWSL teams, Real Madrid and for some reason Ligue 1’s Paris FC.

Lionel Messi shocked his fans over the weekend when he made a secret trip to Barcelona and posted a photo of himself in the club’s Camp Nou stadium. The Messi Barcelona trip wasn’t on anyone’s radar, not even the club’s, as the Inter Miami star visited the place he called home for decades.
Following his brace on Saturday during Inter Miami’s 4-0 playoff victory vs. Nashville SC, Messi and Rodrigo de Paul took a brief trip to Barcelona to see the progress on the Camp Nou which has been under construction for three years.
United States goalkeeping legend Tim Howard put the gloves back on for a special showdown against his daughter Ali and the rest of the Tennessee women’s soccer team.
Howard’s last professional game was five years ago with the former USL team in Memphis. The 46-year-old goalkeeper stepped into goal against the No. 12 ranked Lady Vols with supreme confidence and some trash talk.
Little did he know what was coming.

Ticket sales for the 2026 FIFA World Cup officially began on Wednesday with VISA cardholders able to apply for a chance to purchase tickets. There’s plenty of controversy around the sales process and New York City mayoral hopeful Zohran Mamdani is taking a firm stand.
One of the chief complaints about FIFA’s World Cup tickets is the “dynamic pricing” set to be implemented. While FIFA were proud to announce that fans could attend group stage games for as low as $60, that number could change based on demand.
One of the world’s most unique and outgoing soccer broadcasters is hanging up the headset. The incredible Ray Hudson announced on Tuesday that he will retire from calling games.
Hudson’s passion for the game was unmatched when in the broadcast booth. If you even say the word “magisterial” to a soccer fan, their brain will go immediately to Hudson calling a Lionel Messi goal.
At 70 years old Hudson has decided it’s time for him to call it a career. And what a 23-year broadcasting career it was.
