Also feel like they undersold that Reus free kick somehow. To get it up and down from 20 yards is insanely difficult and Reus just made it look like practice.

Hezarkhani snatched Glesnes’ soul for that equalizer.

Win is a win. Hate losing Togashi but surviving a sloppy mess of a game and holding on is good to see. Especially against a team that has played well when chasing.

If you think Miranchuk is a fit issue for what you want the team to be, that’s whatever. But don’t you dare tell me he’s not an absolute class player.

The power of the Zammoth is limitless. Getting outshot 19-7 but up 3-0

Feel like it’s worth discussing tonight: Atlanta’s problems were a different set tonight. They had chances. And runners. And shots. They weren’t scared children in attack. But man, the mentality is just so super broken when something doesn’t go right.

Just a run of the mill Atlanta Hawks experience.

Real Salt Lake continue to just roll with the punches. Another pregame injury forcing a list minute lineup change? No problem. A four goal first half is the remedy and we talk about it at @soccerdownhere.bsky.social Mountain Edition www.soccerdownhere.net/post/real-sa...

Diego Luna is absolutely filthy.

Sergi Solans has 5 goals so far this with with 2 tonight. Super draft pick is 2 off the golden boot lead.

Cayman Togashi has a Tommy McNamara-level of lack of self preservation when trying to score goals and I love it.

A sustainable shoe company pivoting to AI feels like a scrapped ‘10 years later segment’ from Silicon Valley.

It’s only 1 pm eastern and we’ve already had a high profile US soccer departure 2 months before the World Cup and Miami’s high profile manager just up and resign.

Kluber is going to throw someone out of the booth if they don’t change topics.

Glavine in game 6 of the 95 series is one of those things I’m happy to discuss literally any day. Just an impossibly good performance.

Rory winning that with some of the messiest and most chaotic golf possible was perfect.

Rory up 3 strokes on 14 gives me the same level of comfort as watching the falcons protect a 4th quarter lead.

Going back and seeing those shots off the posts for Chicago, the space came from Chicago players bear hugging Atlanta defenders and pulling them out of the space where they’d have defended.

Always run at Andrew Gutman. Love the guy, but he’s an attacking fullback first and foremost. Good from Saba so far doing so.

Joey (possibly) firing another coach? A tradition unlike any other.

Li just rolled over that water ball like a slumping lefty for an easy groundout. This is fantastic television.

A three team race in Scotland as they go into the split and it is delightful because I wouldn’t trust any of these teams as far as I could throw them.

Great night so far for Arif Kovac. Miami 2 doesn’t seem to have the size to deal with him. Goal and assist for the big striker with #ATLUTD2 up 2-0 on the road.

We’ve spent years mapping out which country should go to which small southern college town and play an international match and it’s hilarious that we’re at this point.

Argentina and Iceland are objectively the funniest two teams you could send to The Plains.

Mike Trout coming in with the Steven Adams tribute of “alright friend let’s just go over here” move with slightly less carrying of another human. Also Mike Trout is absolutely massive.

Walt Weiss can stay as long as he wants. 62 year old man just hit a spear on Soler.

I am now willing to lay down my life for the Zammoth

Whatever deal Hurley made with the devil should be studied.

Every offensive possession in this title game has felt like trench warfare. So of course the(possibly) deciding sequence comes off a yakety sax moment.

Qufu. Was so set on Beijing and Xi’an for the obvious sights as a college student, but Qufu was absolutely delightful to just walk around.

Send up thoughts to all the Italians you know. They’re in hell right now with this match.

Salvador Perez is one of my favorite players of the last 20 years but it was deeply hilarious seeing him jog off with “I’m not watching this trash” energy.

Going from shrimp alert to walk-off grand slam is always such a weird feeling.

That’s just the universe punishing a pitcher for an uncompetitive sequence to Ozzie who has never met an unintentional walk he won’t fight against.

Olson legging out a double and only rolling into third on that single is the most adult league softball thing.

Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder how the hell the Braves landed Chris Sale the way they did. Even if he was just half of what he’s been, it would have felt lopsided as hell.

You, a mortal: Aaron Judge striking out 4 times after the WBC is bad but he will be fine. Me, a sicko: he’s just finishing his evolution into Super Adam Dunn

Hawks have big “no one wants to deal with this team in a short series” energy right now.

Put an MLB team in Salt Lake just so I can watch them make some monstrous crown burger Frankenstein thing and a casserole dish that just cements you to your seat on a summer day.

They once offered a 20 oz burger between two pizzas and a smoked rib sandwich covered in Monster Energy bbq sauce. I won’t doubt the Braves menu folks but I will always expect more insanity.

Atlanta isn’t bad tonight per se (need to be more clinical), but it’s a damn good example of one team carrying water for the whole game. DC seem to have no interest in this game right now.

Sucks to come that close to an upset and fall short but take not a damn thing away from Coach Pettway and the Owls. Lost two of their best players to a transfer and point shaving scandal but didn’t let the ship take on water and rallied to get this far. Damn impressive work.

The bigger story in Atlanta’s NWSL training ground announcement is not just the site. It is the ambition behind it. This club looks like it wants to become a major player in the league before day one on the field. www.soccerdownhere.net/post/atlanta...

Canada and hockey England and cricket USA and baseball Tough year for the countries that created sports in their big international moments.

baseball has two basic modes: 1. grumpy, slow-paced cotillion 2. drama avalanche where it feels like you’ve been kidnapped but in a way you enjoy for some reason

very funny to see an athlete say jesus christ is the reason they were able to beat america

The WBC has gotten more fun and addictive with each edition and man, what an absolutely amazing advertisement for the sport over this tournament.
