The worst part about this is for a 12:30pm tip-off the Gateway Center is probably a better venue in terms of capacity anyways 🤦

Reminder the deadline is end of the day tomorrow!

We are coming up on the deadline! This is the best opportunity to get your work in front of club practitioners in the US. I know our team at US Soccer has engaged and iterated on several of the research ideas from this conference over the past two years.

No one better placed to speak on the body of work that has been done in soccer analytics over the past 10 years and how it has led us here. ⚽️📊

The best way to get your work in front of industry professionals in soccer analytics? Submit a research proposal to the American Soccer Insights Summit!

Really proud of the community that has developed around this event. If you are looking to get involved in soccer analytics there is no better event to attend. Network opportunities, research, industry and academic speakers, a Women in Soccer Analytics social event and more!

I'm starting a new newsletter. Yeah, I know, another newsletter. This one isn't about soccer though... it's about YOU 🤯 "The Post-Match Report" will release weekly and contain links, analysis, and updates on everything happening in soccer analytics. Publishing on @leaflet.pub. More info 👇

this is just crushing a beautiful tribute www.theplayerstribune.com/yan-diomande...

Every World Cup we get wonderful reminders that the idea of patriotism as being in opposition to other countries is a lie. ❤️ ⚽

Thank you to Ken Sugiura for putting together this piece! Proud to play a role in supporting our NT programs ahead of major tournaments as a metro Atlanta kid, and thankful for our Data Analytics team at USSF and the work they’ve poured in ahead of this men’s World Cup! www.ajc.com/sports/2026/...

AFAIK immigrants are the only category of US resident who need to prove vaccination records. Had several vaccines out of date (including the annual flu vaccine) that I needed updated in order to submit my Green Card application.

Are you U.S based and have the skills and experience to support football analysis at a FIFA World Cup? Are you eligible to work in the United States and available to be based in Miami for the duration of the tournament (8 June – 20 July)? If the answer is yes, we want to hear from you. 👇🏻
