America's Favorite Club 2025
PSG
It’s everything really. PSG know how to absolutely smash the American market, something they have proved with Jordan collabs and tapping into the “drop culture” that defines American streetwear. And no one showed up better at the 2026 Club World Cup, either…
Viral Moment of the Year

Did it make any practical sense to wear soccer cleats out into the real world in 100 degree weather? Not at all, but it was one of those rare soccer fashion trends that looked so effortlessly cool. There won’t be another summer like it.

The Trionda Ball Launch in NYC (with everyone)

AFC Wrexham
It’s been a while since Welcome to Wrexham started, and it turns out that the Red Dragons are still cool. They’re in the Championship now, and even if it will be a real battle to keep moving on up, they’ve captured American hearts with hundreds of fan clubs around the country.

Fancy Free, NYC
Spike Lee is a massive Arsenal fan, so he did what any normal American celebrity would, and opened an affordable yet effortlessly cool place in Brooklyn. Normal, right? Gooner or not, it’s a fantastic place to visit.
