Poarch Returns To The Scene Of His Greatest Triumph, At The TST
On Wednesday, the highly anticipated The Soccer Tournament kicks off in Cary, North Carolina. The $1 million winner-take-all 7 v 7 competition for men and women will bring together former players and personalities from the beautiful game and in the sports world as well. Here are some of the movers and shakers who are expected to participate in the third-year tourney: Carli Lloyd. Michelle Akers. Hope Solo. Sergio Aguero. Geoff Cameron. Brek Shea. And Chad Poarch. Wait, let's back up just a minute. Chad Poarch? Just who is this Chad Poarch? Well, he is the player who scored the winning goal for La Bombonera in last year's final as he and his teammates split the million-dollar prize money. Poarch (pronounced porch) is back with another team - CONCAFA Soccer Club - as he tries to make it two titles in as many years. He is looking forward to the event, on and off the pitch. "I'm excited, man," he said. Last year he excited about meeting NBA great Chris Paul and former NFL wide receiver Chad (Ochocinco) Johnson. "I'm excited to meet all the celebrities and the guys who have already had successful careers, whatever they have," he added. "So that should be great." Of course, Poarch isn't going to be a paparazzi. He plans on having another memorable experience on the field at WakeMed Soccer Park. "I'm just looking forward to playing in that tournament, a professionally run tournament again, especially what they do with the media," he said. "This being the third year for TST hosting a tournament, I expect the competition is going to be better than the last two years.' Poarch's story, before and after the tournament, is two divergent tales. Prior to that competition, he had struggled to find a professional soccer team. Poarch attended High Point University and then the University of Delaware before deciding to pursue a pro career. That included tryouts in Portugal, Atlanta United and stints in the National Premier Soccer League, USL League Two and USL Championship. "I've been through some stuff," he said. But that all changed in Cary. Not only did he play well, the 5-11, 180-lb. Poarch received national publicity for connecting on the tournament-winning goal and an opportunity to play for the indoor Baltimore Blast in the Major Arena Soccer League. With that in mind, let's return to the TST final against Nani FC on June 10, 2024. Yes, that Nani, the former Portuguese international. Tournament officials ruled that the first team that reached four goals would win the title (the competition's rules are quite different from the rest of the sport). With La Bombonera leading 3-0, Poarch put a tough tackle on Nani, winning a 50-50 ball in his team's defensive zone. Racing into the penalty area on a 2-on-1 break, he launched a right-footed shot from the top of the box that nestled into the lower left corner to lift his team to the title. LA BOMBONERA DEFEAT NANI FC TO WIN TST 2024 🏆 CHAD POARCH SCORES $1M GOAL 💰 | TST "I was able to read the goalkeeper's pass," Poarch said. "As soon as I picked it off, I saw nothing but green grass in front. As soon as I got the ball, it just went silent. It was like a movie. He [the goalkeeper] "After I scored, man, it was like all the relief, all the pressure, everything just was taken off my shoulders, and then obviously we're celebrating with family and friends. It was a whirlwind. Unforgettable." Poarch's story hardly ends there. Blast player Oumar Sylla had told head coach David Bascome that Poarch was one of the players that he should watch at the tournament. Bascome was impressed with Poarch, who had scored five goals, and offered him a contract. "Fortunately for me, I had a good showing last year," Poarch said. 'I benefited from it." Just as he did at the TST, Poarch made the most of his opportunity with the Blast. As a defender, he scored 23 goals in as many regular season games, not bad for a forward, excellent for a defender. He added 10 assists and was voted the MASL newcomer of the year. Poarch, 27, called his past 12 months "a whirlwind experience." "It's been a great year for me as a player," he added. "I've been through a lot as a player, so like, it just feels good to finally get like recognition for doing well and achieving these great achievements. I've been super thankful and grateful for every opportunity that has come my way. I'm looking forward to the future. I'm trying to stay as much in the moment as possible and just take every opportunity as they come." His next opportunity will be to win the tournament with his new team. The CONCAFA Soccer Club, coached by former U.S. men's international goalkeeper Tony Meola, has some players who you might recognize. The higher profile players include former U.S. internationals Cameron and Shea, one-time New York Red Bulls standout Mike Grella and former Iraqi international and Columbus Crew star Justin Meram. For those indoor soccer aficionados, there's MASL all-stars Derek Huffman and Mario Alvarez (Milwaukee Wave), Gordy Gurson (Utica City FC), Zach Reget and Phillip Ejimadu Kansas City Comets) and Drew Ruggles (San Diego Sockers). ESPN analyst Pat McAfee is also on the team. Poarch said that the team had a "good atmosphere and good people to be around." Given the publicity the tournament has received in its short two-year existence, more serious players have wanted to participate. So, finding a pathway to the final has become that more difficult. "Obviously, the goal is to win the tournament," Poarch said. "I want to play well. I've been training and getting as fit as possible since the Blast season ended. For us to go all the way, and then for me to go back-to-back and win TST again will be phenomenal." If CONCAFA prevails, Poarch said that he will use his prize money in some practical ways, such as paying off his student loan, continue saving that he could buy a house and invest in his soccer training business. And even go on vacation. "Good things," he said. "To win a tournament will create a big boost for me in those areas," he said. And create some more history and perhaps another opportunity for Chad Poarch.

Marjorie Taylor Greene Partially Agrees With Elon Musk on Trump-Backed Bill
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Georgia Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene partially backed Elon Musk Tuesday in his criticism of President Donald Trump's "big, beautiful bill" that recently passed the House of Representatives and is under debate in the Senate. The Context The Trump-backed reconciliation package passed the House last month following weeks of negotiations in which House Speaker Mike Johnson wrangled votes from the ultraconservative and more centrist factions of the GOP. While Trump praised the measure in its current form, Senate Republicans have made it clear that they plan to make significant changes to it before it passes the upper chamber. Musk, meanwhile, has repeatedly criticized the bill, most recently calling it a "disgusting abomination," saying it was filled with "outrageous pork" that would balloon the federal deficit and undo the work by the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is pictured arriving for a House Republican meeting at the U.S. Capitol on May 20 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by) Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is pictured arriving for a House Republican meeting at the U.S. Capitol on May 20 in Washington, D.C. (Photo by) What To Know "Congresswoman, what do you make of Elon Musk criticizing the 'One Big Beautiful Bill?'" a reporter asked Greene in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday. "Well, you know, I have to agree with him on one hand," the Republican firebrand responded. "I always love it when Americans are angry at the federal government and express it. I think that should've been happening for years now. I mean, we're $36 trillion in debt for a reason." Greene, one of Trump's staunchest supporters in Congress, went on to criticize the Biden administration's initiatives on renewable energy, its handling of the economy and more. "Unfortunately, in the 'One Big Beautiful Bill,' we had to spend some money to right the ship and pass President Trump's campaign promises" on issues including border security and immigration enforcement, tax cuts and "America First energy." Greene is among three House Republicans who have voiced their agreement with Musk's criticisms. Kentucky Representative Thomas Massie re-shared Musk's post on X, formerly Twitter, ripping into the bill, writing, "He's right." Representative Warren Davidson of Ohio also appeared to agree, sharing another post from Musk that said, "Congress is making America bankrupt." Massie and Davidson voted against the bill in the House. Greene voted in favor of it but said she did not read through a portion of the measure related to artificial intelligence (AI) when it was initially up for vote. Greene said the provision violates states' rights, writing on X on Tuesday: "Full transparency, I did not know about this section on pages 278-279 of the OBBB that strips states of the right to make laws or regulate AI for 10 years. I am adamantly OPPOSED to this and it is a violation of state rights and I would have voted NO if I had known this was in there." "We have no idea what AI will be capable of in the next 10 years and giving it free rein and tying states hands is potentially dangerous," she added. Greene said that if the Senate doesn't strip the provision from the version of the bill that's sent back to the House for final approval, she won't back it, which could complicate House GOP leadership's effort to pass the Trump-backed package. The White House responded to Musk's X posts during Tuesday's press briefing. "Look, the president already knows where Elon Musk stood on this bill. It doesn't change the president's opinion," White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters. "This is one big, beautiful bill, and he's sticking to it." What People Are Saying Senate Majority Leader John Thune told reporters: "We obviously respect everything that Elon did with DOGE. On this particular issue, we have a difference of opinion ... he's entitled to that opinion. We're going to proceed full speed ahead." Republican Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina said of Musk's criticisms: "He's entitled to his opinion." Asked by Politico whether Musk's criticism would affect amendments to the bill, Tillis said: "No." Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer waved around a printout of Musk's post and told reporters: "I agree with Elon Musk!" What Happens Next Trump recently gave Senate Republicans a July 4 deadline to pass the bill and get it to his desk.
