A massive congratulations to Howie on an incredible 40-year run. Maybe the greatest to ever do it.

Seismic result as Miami go out in their first CCC tie to Nashville. This was the white whale for Messi in North America and it eludes him again. NSC has to be considered the top team in the East at this point.

This is by some measure Liverpool’s best XI and Slot needs to play it as much as humanly possible the rest of the year. The drop off from even one guy is massive.

WBC final was amazing. Nice bonus as Nolan McLean looked good and didn’t take the L. Well done Venezuela!

Love love love this. Friday night MLS Cup rules. And there’s now massive incentive to sweep the first round series so you don’t have to play a midweek Game 3 and go right into a conference semifinal at the weekend.

A little concerned about how much of my timeline is watching the Oscars. Need to reevaluate this.

what is arne slot trying to build at liverpool? what is it supposed to look like if he gets two more years and the right signings?

Completely unacceptable from Liverpool. Just can’t happen.

Two times in two matches to start the MLS day where the center ref has disagreed with the VAR calling for intervention on a penalty shout. Thought the VAR was right in the first game, probably not this time. Always interesting when the center ref doesn’t agree though

Still wrapping my head around it a few days later, can’t really sum up Oscar Pareja’s legacy with Orlando City in a BlueSky post. If you were around prior to 2020 you know just what he means to the club. Completely shifted the culture and the standard for everyone inside the building.

“Wiki Carmona Revenge Game” is such a fun storyline

RBNY are clearly fine with giving up massive chances every so often if it means dominating field tilt and the ball. Fearless stuff from Michael Bradley. We have a wave of super aggressive young American coaches in MLS (Bradley, Varas, Mastroeni, to name a few) that should be turning heads.

Maxi Moralez torturing Orlando City, did I time travel to 2018??

On @pablo.show I talked about the limits of generative AI, and why the brainstorming process—which LLMs mostly eliminate, imo—is fundamental to doing *good* work.

Non zero chance we get Messi at Miami, Son at LAFC, Müller in Vancouver, Griezmann in Orlando, Lewandowski at Chicago, all of them in the year of the World Cup in the US. Absolute insanity.

Please, when you visit Orlando, don’t be those people that cut 30+ minutes of queue to meet up with your family. No one will stop you because confronting you isn’t worth it, but everyone will loathe you.

Her father fled China because he organized student protests during Tiananmen. He was a political refugee. The story of this family, and Alysa Liu, would have played out very differently today. This is what we're losing. www.nytimes.com/2026/02/19/w...

Brutal. Watch MLS!

The French couple in the ice dancing are absolutely sensational villains. Backstory, look, evil theme music. Top notch heels.

Absolutely locked in on Italy/USA curling. Korey Dropkin is a beast

Incredible halftime show, my god

Liverpool has to pull the plug at this point, no??

Not difficult to spot Messi or Orlando City gear at the Disney Parks, but today I saw a kid in a Wessam Abou Ali Columbus Crew kit and it made me smile

[Snowboarding TV commentary] EX-SNOWBOARDER COLOR COMMENTATOR WHO SOUNDS LIKE HE BATHES IN BONG WATER: Awwwww NO WAY, backside chicken salad off the knucklehuck IN GOOFY, that is groooady from my brochacho STAID, RESPECTABLE PLAY-BY-PLAY GUY WHO USUALLY COVERS GOLF: Indeed, what a move!

I get this, but here's where I'm at: Trump & Vance are the worst of us. America is bigger than them, and they win if we let them define us. Team USA is the best of us. It's filled with Americans MAGA hates—first-generation + immigrants, LGBTQ+ athletes, people of color—& I'm gonna root for them.

🇨🇴💣 BREAKING: Minnesota United is in talks for a shock blockbuster move to sign Colombian star James Rodriguez, per sources. Would easily be biggest star to play for Loons. www.nytimes.com/athletic/701...

Cannot understand PSV not taking this fee. He’s already not playing! You should have replaced him already!

Elite soccer is reaching 2010s baseball levels of “we probably need to change the rules to keep this from being permanently solved.” Still think the end result here is banning throws into the box and aggressively enforcing attacking fouls on set pieces.

we need to normalize shaming people for blindly copy and pasting chat gpt replies as their own posts/updates/thoughts. we need to stop the linkedin-ification of conversation. please.

Martín Ojeda under contract with Orlando through June 2030. Huge move for the club and player. Ojeda should hold just about every attacking record in Lions history by the time he’s done.

Kellyn Acosta's new manager had exactly five seconds to come up with an alias 31 years ago and has been stuck with it ever since.

Muriel on his day was one of the most fun watches in MLS, but there just weren’t enough of them for what the club was spending. Huge opportunity for Orlando to vault into the upper echelon of the East with the right signing.

WOOOOAHHHH

What a way for the Matt LaFleur era to end

Celtic FC giving a crash course on how to run a permanently unsuccessful soccer club over the past two months

At the end of Inception when Leo spins the top someone in the back row yelled “FALL MOTHERF*CKER” and everyone lost it

Desmond Bane

The uncalled holds on Micah Parsons are criminal

Heartbreaking major injury to Franz Wagner. The NBA has a serious, serious problem on its hands with these star player injuries. Lots of changes needed as soon as possible.

Imagine how incredible today would have been with the BCS - Tech gives themselves a chance with a blowout win - Georgia win and you’re in or Alabama ruins their season and TT makes it - OSU/Indiana 1 vs. 2 national title semi Instead none of it means anything except to Alabama, who isn’t even good!

Few games have as consistent of a "yeah, that game ruled" hit rate than MLS Cup, especially considering expectations. Another worthy installment tonight.

Two horrific individual errors by stalwart players doom Vancouver in the end. Miami took advantage and, to their credit, did not wilt when the ‘Caps came at them. Onto 2026 to see if anyone can take Messi down.

I am an old and jaded sports-watcher and I rarely feel emotions anymore but folks, my heart is fucking BREAKING for Andres Cubas. Yes he brought it on himself, but no, he did not deserve that horror.

Oh noooooooo Andres Cubas

Props to Vancouver for not getting run out of the building after the early gaffe. They’ve grown into it now

Miami are totally unrecognizable from the team we saw three months ago. Made the adjustments they had to in order to save their season and this project.

Brutal from Ocampo, keeps Allende onside and then panics and scores a horrible own goal. Shame for a guy who’s been fantastic all season long

As always, pretending not to like the Avatar movies is super cringe and those people should stop doing that and just be excited for Big Jim’s Next Adventure like the rest of us
