Minutes away from Monday's @mkickaround.bsky.social. Playoffs everywhere, NWSL expansion news, Chattanooga FC owner Davis Grizzard, and the story of North Carolina FC's maybe final match ever. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt0h...

What a game in St. Paul. And now a keeper sub for Seattle with pens looming.

A Cavan Sullivan hype up on the Minnesota-Seattle playoff broadcast is super weird. WYD

SOCCER IS FUN

We're on fire

Penalties at Audi. This might kill me.

I am also unclear how long it’s going to take for someone with power to acknowledge trans and queer fans of the NWSL watching this all unfold and what that might mean for them, in addition to the protection of the players.

Too much weasel word bullshit

The Spirit: dominating possession and driving me crazy in the process. Give Racing credit for keep Washington to a limited number of half chances.

I'm was going mad asking for Washington to use the right channel that has been there to be exploited the entire first half.

Out here supporting the hometown team.

Best part of this Spurs-Man United match right now is listening to Thiago practice saying "Tottenham Hotspur." "Totteeum Hotsbird" is my favorite so far.

This had better not get expensive. @mmasnick.bsky.social www.trumpcancelledmyflight.com

The Trump Administration is intentionally stopping flights at airports across the country. They continue to make life harder for the American people because they refuse to come to the table to negotiate a deal to reopen the government. Shameful. www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news...

omg

VA Senate president pro tem absolutely rips MD Senate president for opposing redistricting. Notably, VA Dems win massively *after* pushing for a new map. And that's how it's supposed to work: There has to be an election after an amendment is proposed so voters can weigh in before it can proceed.

As a complete stadium renderings weirdos, I got really excited today when I saw what I thought was an Easter Egg in the renderings for a soccer stadium in Riverside, CA. Is that a leaked logo? Nope, it's the logo of a South African amateur club called Riverside someone ganked for the renderings. LOL

There's a new edition of the Soccer Eagle newsletter. I put down some thoughts on the North Carolina FC situation and wrestled with the USMNT roster. jason-davis-soccer-eagle.ghost.io/ncfc-and-the...

Thank you and good morning. I made many things this week. One of them is a new eipisode of The Best Soccer Show on the USMNT roster, which you can find right here: open.spotify.com/episode/18zf...

Inter Miami really is bringing that Spanish football club mindset to Major League Soccer.

The president illegally starving 42 million Americans would be among my top ten of Trump's impeachable offenses.

Trump: "So Walmart -- to me, that's triple A -- but they just came out with a very powerful statement that under the Biden administration, a Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings cost 25% more." (The meal is cheaper now because the turkey is smaller.)

Poch is fairly consistent with leaving players out of the squad who have any questions about their club standing.

Pochettino just dodged @dougmcintyre.bsky.social's question about why Richards, McKennie, and Musah didn't get called.

USMNT ROSTER OUT

This is such a blatant attempt to distract everyone with a shiny object it's insulting.

Watching Mike Johnson lie in real time is quite an experience.

This is true and you can argue Infantino is wisely playing to the ego of Trump. I'm still allowed to hate it.

Can't believe I'm going to engage with this earnestly, but if there is going to be a FIFA peace prize, it should go to someone using football to promote peace in war zones or working with displaced populations. Hell, give it to Drogba for what he did 20 years ago. Instead, more FIFA debasement.

Does he think communism is just...China?

Just watched Virginia AG Jason Miyares' concession speech and it is astounding to hear him claim he made Virginia safer when he actively tried to make mass shootings worse. He battled even modest restrictions on "pistol braces"—a device that helps you shoot more people with an AR-15 faster.

I have to imagine far-right Catholics are really struggling with the fact that they can now hear this stuff in English directly from the pope.

Oh look it's the guy subsidizing Mauricio Pochettino's salary with US Soccer

Ah yes, right. A Woodwork. Totally.

IF YOU HAVE A POLICY PROBLEM, BRING IT UP WITH YOUR PLAYER REP, OR THE NWSLPA, OR THE LEAGUE OFFICE, OR EVEN YOUR OWNERSHIP SO YOU DON’T HURT PEOPLE. YOU DON’T WHINE TO THE NEW YORK POST AND FOX AND FRIENDS UNLESS YOU ARE A GRIFTING GRIFTER.

Why NYC dropping 1 million on a 34-year-old is the transfer steal of the decade: my column

The President of the United States is actively working to make the world a more dangerous place.

every time I explain to my coworkers that a social media influencer from out of town has convinced the Trump administration that the Portland police are antifa, they look at me like I've sprouted a second head www.theverge.com/policy/81340...

This is definitely taped up so Trump doesn't get confused

Death, taxes, and Luis Suarez ser un pendejo.

100% chance that "seize the means of production" is the only phrase from Marx she knows.
