🇺🇸⚽️ SPOTLIGHT: On and Off the Field with Matt Besler, Seth Sinovic, and States Soccer

In 2019, football never stops.

Between the barrage of social media content, the prevalence of matchday streams from all corners of the earth, and the temptation of FIFA or Football Manager just a click away, the game absolutely surrounds us—and that’s before even stepping on a pitch.

Few are more attuned to this endless stream of soccer than Matt Besler and Seth Sinovic, who, in addition to anchoring the backline for MLS team Sporting Kansas City, also help run a football lifestyle company called States Soccer.

“People always think about on the field and off the field being two separate things, but they’re really not. Soccer is our life. We are professional soccer players 24/7, not just from 9 o’clock to noon when we’re on the field training,” Besler said.

True to form, Besler and Sinovic joined us after a morning practice to discuss the clothing line they created alongside co-founders Ryan Van Goethen and Daniel Kerley.

They explained how States aims to earn the title of “lifestyle brand” by representing the 24/7 presence the game can have in our lives. To do this, the group aims to engineer technically superior on-field garments “for players, by players” while also crafting off-the-field wear that represents the local fandom and football culture that never seems to take a moment off.

As native Kansas Citians with over 500 combined appearances for MLS team Sporting Kansas City between them, Besler and Sinovic are in a unique position to craft such goods. They are not only club icons, but also nearly-lifelong locals.

“We have a genuine relationship with the people that support us,” Besler said. This link to the fans extends past the stadium walls and into their daily lives in the community. Their clothing is, in many ways, an expression of that, and is built from “pretty much every piece of soccer clothing we’ve ever worn, even when we were kids,” Besler said.

The company’s name is a call-out to American soccer and its marketing frequently touts States’ Kansas City heritage. KC is quickly becoming a soccer hotbed that Van Goethen describes as a place where “you can see the growth of the sport happening before your eyes.”

Passing through the city on our recent travels with the #AudiFCBTour, we would have to agree. KC boasts impressive professional facilities, passionate fans, and broad-based grassroots initiatives (like the Sporting Stars and Stripes Program) that are among the very best in American soccer. In a league where Zlatan, Rooney, and Vela garner so many headlines, the link between team and community appears to be the star of this MLS city more than any one individual player.

It makes sense that this is where a project like States takes flight. Kansas City is the kind of town where two club legends step off the practice field and into the shop, joining two longtime friends to produce game-changing football goods that aim to be proudly representative of domestic soccer culture and true to the idea that the game never stops.

It’s pretty safe to say it doesn’t for Besler and Sinovic.

Huge thank you to Matt, Seth, Ryan, and Daniel for letting us stop by and being so gracious with their time. A massive additional thank you to Megan Armstrong for linking us all together and putting States onto our radar.

New York (AFP) – The United States gave up an equalizer to draw 1-1 with Panama on Saturday to open Group B action in the CONCACAF Gold Cup in Nashville, Tennessee. English-born striker Dom Dwyer scored for the United States — his second goal in as many matches for his adopted country putting the US up 1-0 in the 50th minute. But Bruce Arena’s men couldn’t make the lead stand up as Miguel Camargo answered for Panama to insure the two strongest teams in the group shared the points. That opened the door for Martinique to finish the day atop the group B standings after a 2-0 victory over Nicaragua. Excellent work from Kelyn Rowe on the left side set up Sporting Kansas City forward Dwyer, who became a US citizen just three months ago, pursuing his football dream Stateside after he was told he wouldn’t make it in England. Rowe easily got past Michael Murillo and moved deep down the left flank before sending a low cross into the penalty area where Dwyer turned and fired a left-footed shot into the right-hand corner of the net. The US goal galavanized Panama, who saw Camargo’s blast from 20 yards out go over the bar two minutes later, then saw a brilliant chance go begging when Ismael Diaz somehow fired over the bar from a couple of yards out after a header by Gabriel Torres had been saved by a diving Brad Guzan. Edgar Barcenas also narrowly missed before the determined Panamanians pulled level. Barcenas’ cross set up Torres, who forced Guzan into another save, but New York City FC’s Camargo was there to bury the rebound. Few quality chances followed, although the USA thought a penalty should have been awarded in the 82nd when captain Alejandro Bedoya came down after tangling with defender Luis Ovalle. Both teams had opportunities in the scoreless first half. The hosts’ best chance came in the 26th as Kellyn Acosta put a ball through to Rowe — whose shot went straight to Panamanian keeper Jose Calderon. Camargo then tested Guzan with a curling shot from the edge of the area and both teams came close in first-half stoppage time. The US, five-time winners of the regional championship, will be aiming to sharpen up defensively when they face Martinique on Wednesday in Tampa, Florida, where Nicaragua and Panama will also clash. “There’s positives to take from the game,” Dwyer said. “We’re definitely disappointed not to get three points. But there’s a lot to build on.” In the second match of the double-header, Kevin Parsemain opened the scoring when he headed in a cross from Johan Audel in the 35th minute. Martinique extended their lead in the 66th when, moments after coming on, Steeven Langil launched a solo run from midfield and finished from close range. #GoldCupOpener #GoldCup #SportingKansasCity
