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.

The Sidemen Charity Match is finally back after two years and this year’s event will arguably be the biggest and most spectacular edition of the game since its inauguration in 2016.

KSI and the Sidemen crew, alongside some of the most popular YouTubers and streamers in the world, will take to the pitch once again in one of the most popular annual events in the social influencer realm. 

Name a bigger W…

The Vermont Catamounts men’s soccer team pulled off an unthinkable run in the NCAA College Cup and defeated Marshall 2-1 in extra time on Monday in the championship game.

Vermont’s triumph marked the first time in history the university has won a national championship in any sport outside of skiing. The Catamounts’ run to the final saw them pull off remarkable upsets against the likes of No. 7 ranked Hofstra, No. 2 Pitt, No. 3 Denver and finally No. 13 Marshall in the final (who beat No. 1 Ohio State in the semifinal).

A play-by-play announcer had an all-time reaction on Wednesday when Stanford’s men’s soccer team defeated Notre Dame 3-2 with a goal from midfield and one second left on the clock.

The time in college soccer isn’t like the pros as the clock counts down and the game ends when time expires. This means that buzzer-beaters are possible on the pitch.

A crucial Dani Olmo clearance vs England helped lead Spain to a record fourth Euros title on Saturday with the Spaniards winning 2-1.

Spain had a corner to defend in the 90th minute after taking the lead three minutes prior courtesy of Mikel Oyarzabal.

As the corner was swung into the Spanish box, FOX’s commentators Ian Darke and Landon Donovan could hardly get words out as chaos ensued. 

Carli Lloyd just put Maradona, Messi and Pulisic in the same sentence.

U.S. women’s national team legend Lloyd is one of many former soccer stars invited to be a part of FOX Sports' live studio broadcasts in their coverage for the Euro and Copa America this summer. USMNT icons Alexi Lalas, Clint Dempsey, and Maurice Edu are also part of the panel.

The Portland Timbers secured a 4-2 victory Wednesday night but not before trailing 2-0 at halftime and having a hot mic fail with the broadcast.

The Timbers have been uncharacteristically poor this season. Heading into the game vs. San Jose Earthquakes they were without a win in their previous nine games. Yes, it had been two months since Portland secured three points from a game.

Alexi Lalas just revealed what he thinks should be the starting lineup for the USMNT in the 2024 Copa América. He might’ve been spot on.

The U.S. men’s national team are only five weeks away from making their debut in this summer’s hosting of the Copa America and will most certainly try to shake off the squad’s doubters with their best performance in the tournament yet. Gregg Berhalter wants the gold.
