Linked-In with some absolute 🔥 premium lower level soccer content right now. Scott has (or had?) trademark rights on the Cosmos and USL North Jersey just declared that they are the Cosmos. Based on the experienced Ownership group of NJ’s project, I doubt they’ll have to give it up.

A delightful conversation with my friend @iain.coys.social of @mocospurs.com fame. An analysis(?) of my descent into obsession of Tottenham Hotspur and lower league soccer in America. Amazed by the community I’ve gained in a short amount of time immersed in its culture. Truly the world’s game.

Love the new Spurs away kits but we made a few minor edits to make it more Maryland-y

Hey @leagueoneupdater.com - how often do you see a multi-year contract in USL for players?

Been doing Lower League soccer interviews for a while on “Rooster and the Villain”. Always amazed at the lengths players go to to make it in this county at the 2nd and 3rd tier. If you all live near a local squad, go check them out. You won’t regret it and you’ll be surprised by the quality.

My buddy, Mike, interviewed Abe Navarro about nurturing pickup soccer and futsal culture in Baltimore, working with Kyle Martino, and some pro football chat. I wish I had Abe’s energy and ambition in my early twenties. TW: Arsenal and Tottenham talk. @roostervillain.bsky.social

Thanks to the folks who braved the weather and Tottenham’s poor form to join us at Saints Row Brewing today. Up the Spurs.

If Everton could Everton so Spurs don’t look as Spursy that’d be great.
