I am not a fan of the Best of 3 series for a multitude of reasons, but I do enjoy how much the clubs hate each other by the last match. Good genesis for organic rivalries.

Cavan looks different than even than U.S.'s best players on the pitch. Processing the game at a different speed. Once he's physically mature enough if he's going to be a difference maker, and it may be his brother's ACL tear that opens up that opportunity for him next year.

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates. If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years. Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

Let’s go! Historically: SLSG but the paradigm is shifting. Amsterdam Tavern. For different reasons: Hermann Stadium/CPKC/Soccer Park. 2025 was the 75th anniversary of St. Louisans; Frank Borghi, Harry Keough, Gino Pariani, Charlie Colombo and Pee Wee Wallace, starting at the World Cup in Brazil.

Excited for St. Louis City with that hire. Would be a really fun club to have consistently competitive in the league, and hopefully a place that leans in to its soccer heritage (and less in to Bundesliga 2’s).

I know Tubberville is the joke here, but what I love about this is its literally the best (and only?) way for a Republican incumbent to lose big in deep red LA. Don't matter how much you love Trump, you screw up the football team you will never be elected to anything again.
