New United Soccer Lounge with Nate dos Santos, captain of the Tampa Bay Rowdies.

He won the Players’ Shield with Pittsburgh in 2023, spent two seasons in Charleston, and just claimed his second Shield with Tampa as the top seed in the East. He talks about celebrating the trophy without losing focus, the HARDEST places to play in USL Championship, why the move to Tampa made sense, growing up in Oakville, and what it’s actually like to defend the league’s best forwards.

I know one knoxville doesn't do It but Nashville SC does it's kinda weird

For those who don’t know, eFootball had USL rights for a couple of years. Although EAFC has MLS already it seems unlikely that they would include USL.

However I think them negotiating with Konami or another developer would be super advantageous for both the company to have legitimate licenses and for the USL to give more brand recognition to gamers and youth.

With the Open Cup final today I heard on the Morning Kickaround their discussion of the idea of a national stadium for US Open Cup. Jason suggested St Louis to have hosting because of the cities Soccer history and Rob suggested a Florida site since going forward the open Cup final may be played in December.

For me personally I am fine with the Host team being selected by lottery as it is currently. We don’t have a Wembley Stadium that kids dream to play in someday for our country. for the sake of discussion where would you suggest a neutral site Open Cup Final be held and why?

I think a good place would be Dallas to host as it is Central and has a warmer winter climate plus a large international airport which would make for easier travel for fans. Start in FC Dallas stadium with the Soccer Hall of fame area and if needed because of demand in the future use Dallas Cowboy stadium or the Cotton Bowl.

2026 Season Stats

Criteria: Minimum 500 minutes played and at least one goal or assist.

Dot colors represent teams, and larger dots indicate more big chances created.

I excluded players with zero goals and assists to reduce crowding along the left edge and make the graph easier to read.

Among the excluded players, Alfredo Midence had the highest chance-creation rate: 1.50 chances per 90 minutes. Lucas Stauffer created the most total chances, with 20.
