The USMNT has several breakout stars in MLS who, in years past, would've jumped at a January move abroad. In 2026, though, they might have to sit tight.

Gab Marcotti rings in the new year by writing down what he hopes to see in football in 2026, above all else: a safe, fun and clean World Cup.

A fans' group says "alarm bells should be ringing" at FIFA with England's fans having failed to take up their full ticket allocation for next summer's World Cup final.
