Matthew “Armchair Analyst” Doyle, an American soccer writer since MLS’s inception, was in high school during the 1990 World Cup, which is when he started following the sport in earnest. Then the USA hosted the World Cup in 1994, MLS kicked off two years later, and Doyle knew he had to be involved, in one capacity or another. “I got very lucky with that timing,” says Doyle. “In retrospect, the career path is like I was destined to be a shitposter. So there it is.” Doyle writes for MLSSoccer.com and co-hosts MLS’s ExtraTime podcast.
