One battle after another is really good.

Brian Schmetzer throwing out the weirdest line up of the year.

So that was not a good game for the Sounders. I wonder is that is the last start we see Stef Frei make this year. Roldan seems to have hit the wall. Overall I’m not too worried about it. We’ve been running on the raged eye of depth, and it caught up, but players returning at the right times.

At this point a best of 3 opener vs Seattle and LAFC seems almost certain. Sounders and LAFC are basically in a dead heat on PPG for 4th. Separated by .02ppg. That should be an unexpected heavy weight bout in the first round. The only question is who will get the home advantage.

This is Spanish Inquisition-type insanity.

Man I really like watching and talking about soccer online.

Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker (D) on the shooting of Charlie Kirk: "Political violence, unfortunately, has ramped up in this country ... I think there are people who are fomenting it in this country. I think the president's rhetoric often foments it."

“Call an ambulance. Yes, it’s for me. The mace got in my eyes and it is very painful.”

Weird comparison but I watched this long thing about the financial issues of 6 flags, and it goes into the bad decision making post-pandemic that led 6 flags to tank while other parks saw huge attendance rebounds. TLDR, they increased prices and decreased investment. youtu.be/4rTTImBgz10?...

Berhalter was the best coach the USMNT has ever had. He took a third rate pool and made the fanbase truly believe they were on the cusp of being a “real team”. He was ultimately done in by the high expectations he set, and I think a whole lot of future USMNT managers will be as well.

Not nearly enough.

A collective editorial choice has been made by US-based mass media that protests are only newsworthy if there's an outbreak of violece

90% of elected Dems do not know how to fight, do not want to fight, did not run for office to fight, and are not smart enough or principled enough to fight. They entered office so they could fiddle with policy and feel important, they want to hide until it blows over, and will find excuses to do so.

The man has the heart of a poster.

Scrubs like Pulisic get to take summer breaks during major tournaments, meanwhile the best player in the pool is forced play through an injury for friendlies. Make it make sense.

Seems harsh from De La Vega but I guess when you win 3-0 you get to call the shots

No seriously, isn't this a crime, like globally? Wow. The USA government is legit out of control and the president threw this video out for funsies or whatever.

Idk, I think Pochettino has a pretty good shout for MLS Coach of the Year.

Paul Rothrock x Celine

You’ll notice he steps on Gene’s foot so he can’t step away. Again, one of the most despicable and disgusting things I’ve ever seen happen on a soccer pitch.

On rewatch, it is blowing my mind. In spite of all the missing players, Brian Schmetzer not only had a strong starting, he is bringing weapon after weapon off the bench to turn the game in his favor. This squad is unprecedented.

There was a time that I would have been so excited if Luis Suarez had become a Sounder, and although he would have undoubtedly scored a couple hundred goals here, I’m glad he never joined. He doesn’t belong in a Sounders jersey.

There's been lots of hand wringing about how the Sounders were falling behind MLS, but MLS is falling behind the Sounders. Seattle, with injuries that destroy most MLS seasons just dominated Messi. Not the most impressive trophy, but it might be the most impressive final they have played.

Some of you need to fill yours out.

Half of Miami needs to be banned for the rest of the season. WTF

Incredible scenes in the Seattle locker room.

There is a surgeon out there somewhere having a deep internal crisis trying to interpret their Hippocratic oath.

This Sunday Leagues cup will pit MLS Next Pro's Tacoma Defiance against La Liga's Barcelona. Truly historic.

Brownshirt thugs

This angle of De Ro's goal 😱

"Oh man I gotta watch tape on the Seattle Sounders again?" - Rodrigo De Paul, probably

Rodrigo De Paul has more experience playing a big game in Seattle than anyone else on Miami.

The Galaxy just doesn’t have the kind of guys who can take over a game and win it for them, like Osaze De Rosario.

"LA Galaxy just lacks top end difference makers like Paul Rothrock" - @boomstyx.bsky.social

LA Galaxy simply lacks top end top difference makes like Paul Rothrock.

See this is where I think a lot of the current frustrations about the window go wrong. U22 slots aren’t “top roster spots”. They just aren’t. It’s a borderline failed program. We don’t hear folks complain about the 29 unfilled special discovery player slots in the league.

Incredible win for the Sounders. The depth is insane. I’ve mentioned before the Sounders are in a unique position to simply hold out on an external u22 until they mange to get someone “too good” for the spot. Dudes like Leyva and Georgi would be among the best u22’s and struggle to get minutes.

The great thing about talking with French people is being reassured that at least one nationality is even less self-aware than Americans.

No cheating. Post the last picture of your pet.
