Soccer is exploding in America, from the top levels of MLS to the USL
and even "non-leagues" like MWPL, USL2, and others.
I spent 2024 in search of this growth and learned a lot, like how the
youth of America embracing soccer before other sports and seeing where
and how the game is spreading.
And I'm not done in 2025.

This videos provides an in-depth analysis of the potential January transfer move for the Manchester United forward. The video explores Rashford's current situation at United, where he has fallen out of favor under new coach Ruben Amorim, having been left out of the matchday squad for eight of the past nine games13. Highlighting Barcelona's interest, the video discusses how Rashford himself prefers a move to Camp Nou, with transfer experts suggesting the Catalans are the frontrunners in securing his signature2. However, the discussion also delves into the potential complications, including Rashford's high wages of around £350,000 per week and Barcelona sporting director Deco's cautious approach, who has emphasized the club's priority of renewing existing contracts before making new signings4. The video provides viewers with a comprehensive look at the potential transfer, examining Rashford's motivations, Barcelona's strategic considerations, and the likelihood of a successful January move.

Ever wondered how the new Champions League format would have affected last year's results? Hector Flores dives into this intriguing question, creating a spreadsheet to simulate the outcomes. Discover which teams would have automatically qualified and who would have faced off in the playoff round.
In this episode, Hector breaks down his analysis of applying the new Champions League format to last year's results. He discusses the top 8 teams that would have automatically qualified for the round of 16, including Manchester City, Real Madrid, and Bayern Munich. Hector also reveals the teams that would have been eliminated and those that would have competed in the playoff round.
Interestingly, Hector notes a heavy La Liga presence in the top 8 and highlights some potentially exciting matchups in the playoff round, such as Inter Milan vs Manchester United and Napoli vs Newcastle United. He acknowledges the limitations of his analysis due to the differences in team numbers and match structures between the old and new formats.
While Hector admits this exercise might have been a "waste of time," he shares his findings to provide insight into how the new format could potentially shake up the Champions League landscape. This episode offers a unique perspective on the impact of the format change and sparks discussion about its potential consequences for future tournaments.
