I see Topps has has something else in the works - Sankt Louis City made a FB post of Marcel Hartel signing a Debut patch card. Hopefully Flagship or Chrome, since they skipped 2024.

I'll add some others.

Marco Etcheverry. The best player of the 90s.

Marcelo Balboa (+ his TV work for MLS/US Soccer in English and Spanish)

Dwayne De Rosario (too bad he and A. Davies...

Horrible checklist. Topps must have some disgraced daddy Reyna (29 MLS appearances) stickers to get rid of.

I'm just glad the summer of oil money is over. I was able to completely ignore the CWC, but not the bleed over into the Gold Cup. Unfortunately, it will be more of the same next summer.

Low-end, high-end, either way, they are horrible at building a MLS checklist.

The nice thing with this set compared to the MLS flagship set that it (apparently) replaced is the replacement of the 30 Team cards with more players. Still, it's less than 7 players per team on...

I actually think the result would have been the same with the "A-side." Might have taken the 90 minutes instead of 35, but the Swiss are that good. Still, if the Swiss are rolling with Kobel, Akanji,...

I collect the Bundesliga. I'll live with it, but I could do without whatever this technicolor yawn is going on in the preview images.

Worried is an understatement.

The press narrative has been about the A-team missing the Gold Cup, but the real narrative should be about them missing the two friendlies. If the Federation can't...

Indeed a great story.

Just to note the record - Only two consecutive relegations, 2021-22 from the top flight, and 2022-23 from the 2. BL (via the playoff spot). Survived 2023-24 in 14th place in...

The obligatory middle finger to the US broadcast conglomerate for having 5 games exclusive to their streaming platforms (starting with the Swiss match tomorrow morning. Grrrrr.)

Same attendance number was given for the second game of the doubleheader. I'm sure 40k was much lower than they wanted for a Mexico match in a border state as well.
