oklahoma has decided to punch on every. single. tackle. and it's spectacular

not sure i've ever seen an entire team's brain turn to soup quite like what south carolina just did

oh wow hey look whose contract is up heading into the 2028 NWLS season featuring a new expansion team in Atlanta, Georgia

The University of Georgia's Croix Bethune

oh god at what point does it stop being funny and start feeling kind of mean

that series of sequences from Texas A&M is one of the funniest i've ever seen 30 Rock levels of jokes per beat there

got my eye on a million things rn but washington-portland feels roughly 6-0 spiritually

second time ain't like the first time www.mlssoccer.com/news/tata-ma...

Today's calendar change brought up some questions about Tata Martino, who originally signed a deal through the "2027 season" The club has confirmed that he'll be under contract through what's now the 2027-28 season

they finally listened to me and made it college football

Tata says he hasn't spoken to Josef since Tata arrived to Atlanta (Josef did send a congrats text). Also says that striker is not a position of need Through a translator: "With our roster, when we have players like Latte Lath and Jamal Thiare, it's not a position we're currently looking to fill."

Miguel has been a focal point for Tata during this Through a translator and lightly edited: "I think, you know, the ideas and the personnel in Atlanta maybe has changed over the course of time...We intend to have players, as I said, to surround and try to help Miguel."

good morning

Founding memberships are already available

oh hey look nwslatlanta2028.com

A couple of notes Atlanta's NWSL team will have its own training ground MBS will be configured specifically for NWSL with a capacity of 28k And the search to fill club leadership roles is already underway. I imagine that search will move quickly. Eales had a few years of runway before ATLUTD

Official: NWSL to Atlanta in 2028

Figure they might announce something big tonight

we do nwsl now (not well, but we're gonna get better at it, i promise) www.fivestripefinal.com/p/five-strip...

Ecstatic about this and it will absolutely be a part of FiveStripeFinal.com coverage going forward

BREAKING: The NWSL is awarding its 17th franchise to Atlanta and will join the league for a record expansion fee of $165 million, sources tell The Athletic. Details: www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

IT'S HAPPENING www.nytimes.com/athletic/679...

godspeed

THERE'S NO DIFFICULTY MULTIPLIER JUST TAKE THE PENALTY

shank the penalty so the keeper has to dive so far he gets injured, why do teams keep falling for this

what time does the seattle sounders match start

what time does the minnesota united match start

nate frazier just got to the second level with one shoe on and still looked faster than everyone else

*football player obliterated, clearly concussed, starts ambling off the field* *teammates arriving to eagerly show their support by smacking him in the head*

deal is through 2027, no option years not sure where the "one year deal" rumor floating around came from

oh hey look at that

Hearing Tata Martino is interested in the Atlanta United job

seems like things aren't getting better or worse (and that's not good) open.substack.com/pub/fivestri...

Decaturish passed the $30k fundraising mark last night, thanks to people who appreciated our election coverage. Love to see it. Help us meet our goal of $40k this year so we can continue this important work donorbox.org/the-decaturi...?

don't let the dodgers distract you from the fact that florida, georgia tech, auburn, tennessee, south carolina and clemson all lost while georgia did not lose

just a little tap dance to save the world series like we all grew up dreaming about

LMAO HE MOSSED HIS TEAMMATE WITH THE WORLD SERIES ON THE LINE

believed in my heart that was going out

if yazbek scored that they would have legally had to end the series

nashville only needs four more to feel safe

need to introduce a "c'mon buddy, you know you were never getting to that" caveat to fouls launch the ball 30 yards past the keeper inside the 18 but get taken down anyway? "c'mon buddy, you know you were never getting to that."

Lagway played the whole game and they still lost wow

I’m, by no means, a UGA fan. This is still a wonderful piece that I highly encourage everyone to read. And while you’re there you should subscribe. Sam always comes through with great reads.

From a team source: Atlanta United's "Luke Brennan was struck by a car Friday morning while going for a run near his home. He suffered a concussion and a fractured cheek bone. He is expected to make a full recovery ahead of next year’s preseason."

Henderson says that they plan on all 3 DPs returning Also says Atlanta is planning to utilize their open U22 spots

Chris Henderson speaking to media today Says that the team will "add some scouts" Lost one this year (Jamie Henderson) and he'll be replaced. Says they'll also add additional scouts beyond that

It wouldn't change too much about what Atlanta United needs to do this offseason, but it does make the picture a little clearer open.substack.com/pub/fivestri...
