Will a classic St Louis summer thunderstorm interrupt our World Cup final viewing? Only time will tell.

Having put two kids through the St. Louis youth club soccer system, the writer gets a lot right about the reality of youth soccer in this country. It’s insanely expensive, and even if the player is incredibly talented, if he’s on the wrong team or has the wrong coach or is at the wrong club, he’s never going to get the exposure necessary to progress.
US Soccer’s change in training strategy impacted both of our kids, and we’re likely just now getting to the point where we have a generation that started youth soccer with the European style of training. It does seem like we should be seeing the benefits on the U23, U20, and U17 teams, and maybe we are. Hopefully, we’re collecting the data and doing the analysis so by the time 2030 rolls around, we can break into the quarterfinals and beyond.
World Cup losses will continue until America fixes its youth soccer system

The Chicago Bears gave us a season to remember even though they came up short to the goal of winning the Super Bowl. We witnessed a year of improbable individual and team plays, and we almost ran out of fingers to count the number of fourth quarter comebacks for wins.
I’ve already equated the 2025 Bears season to the 2015 Cubs season, and that’s high praise and hopes for what will be a championship year for the Bears next year. We have a quarterback who believes he can do anything, and that kind of attitude is contagious.
Bear Down!

Had to break out a 2016-vintage t-shirt for tonight’s Game 3 against the Brewers.
