Questions with Real Salt Lake Head Coach Pablo Mastroeni after practice May 6, 2025
As both Inter and Napoli draw their respective games against Lazio and Parma, the Scudetto race goes to the final day of the season, but who will lift the trophy?
Austin FC lit up Q2 Stadium with a 3-1 beatdown of Houston to punch their ticket to the U.S. Open Cup quarterfinals. Goals from Vázquez, Bukari, and Ilie sealed the deal in style.
In this episode of Rivercity 93, we break down Richmond's hard-fought 1–0 loss to NCFC, decided by an 80th-minute goal that slipped through an otherwise solid defensive setup. The Kickers showed tactical flexibility, frequently dropping into a back five with Dak helping anchor the line, and Pablo Jara delivered his best performance in goal since joining the club—making multiple key saves to keep the team in it.
But despite the improved defensive shape, Richmond struggled again on set pieces and couldn’t convert one-on-one chances. We dig into what worked, what didn’t, and what needs to change moving forward.
Plus, we revisit the ongoing questions around creativity in the final third, missed opportunities, and what the team’s ceiling really looks like with this system.
RiverCity93 launched in 2019 covering all things Richmond Kickers from USL League One. Both of whom are members of the Richmond Kickers' supporters group the River City Red Army. The podcast focuses on game analysis, interviews with players and front office personnel, club history, and much more! Follow the show on Twitter at @rivercity93 or on Instagram @rivercity93.

Is the USMNT roster for the Gold Cup a disappointment? Host Hector Flores breaks down the 27-man squad, highlighting notable absences and questioning player commitment. Dive into this passionate analysis of the team's preparation for their last competitive matches before the 2026 World Cup.
Hector dissects the goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward selections, expressing surprise at certain inclusions and frustration over key omissions. He particularly criticizes Christian Pulisic's decision to rest, questioning his leadership and dedication to the national team. The host also speculates on potential starting lineups and discusses the importance of this tournament for fringe players to prove themselves.
Editor’s Comment:
This video was recorded prior to the official announcement of the USMNT’s 2025 Gold Cup roster. Since then, several notable changes have occurred:
• Key Absences: Prominent players such as Christian Pulisic, Weston McKennie, Gio Reyna, Tim Weah, and Antonee Robinson are not part of the squad due to injuries, rest periods, or club commitments, including the FIFA Club World Cup. 
• Injury Withdrawals: Sergiño Dest was omitted as he continues his recovery from an ACL injury. Other players like Folarin Balogun, Zack Steffen, and DeJuan Jones also withdrew due to injuries sustained during training camps.

As a Barcelona fan, I’m giving my honest opinion on the potential dismissal of Javier Tebas as La Liga president. The CSD (Higher Council for Sports) is currently reviewing the request from Miguel Galán (President of CENAFE) to remove Tebas after allegations he leaked Barcelona’s financial accounts. Tebas is accused of committing serious breaches by failing to uphold his duties — and this could have major consequences for La Liga’s future. In this video, I break it all down and share why this scandal is bigger than just Barça.

Is the Bundesliga's new handshake rule a game-changer or just another pointless regulation? Hector Flores and Edward Robles dive into this controversial topic, dissecting its potential impact on player behavior and match dynamics.

Flores and Robles offer candid insights, questioning the rule's necessity and timing while acknowledging potential benefits.
This episode delves into the broader implications for football's professionalism, player routines, and the delicate balance between regulation and the sport's inherent passion.
