Mark your calendars. Communism is real derby on May 10th. Mamdani and Rydström will go Marx for Marx at halftime.

Tech bro minimalists be like: “how to reduce screen time 2026 — here are the only two apps you need!” and it’s just notion and chatgpt.

college football if it was woke: “please reset the game clock to 0:01”

Our New Year’s resolution: we’ll be publishing a print magazine. Stay tuned.

genuinely thought he was going to usl c for a second. just a little glimpse into my dark and twisted mind.

This year has been one of the most transformative and incredible years of my life. So grateful to all of my friends on here for the support and love I received in 2025. This community means more to me than I can put in words. Can’t wait for another year of making friends and talking footy :) ❤️

well, it’s not like anyone could have possibly predicted this as the most likely outcome

Yet another reason why AI integration in sports coverage is bad… (h/t @drlindseydarvin.bsky.social, a former prof of mine) www.forbes.com/sites/lindse...

Last comment on this: This is personal for me, as it is for many. I am a queer and trans fan that found a connection to woso that never would have been possible with men’s soccer. To see the commissioner of all people go to a country where queer people are often brutalized is so disheartening.

There are so many talented people on this app covering the league day in and day out for next to nothing in return. They will ALWAYS make me engage more with this league than any Fanduel integration that Jessica Berman can dream up.

It’s so disheartening to see being an “active participant” in sport reclassified from fandom, live attendance, and youth sports to gambling and “prediction markets”

dcu, man what are we doing???

Continuing the tradition, I have compiled an end-of-year overview of the soccer analytics content that I liked the most in 2025. This edition includes pointers to about 200 resources, including research papers, blog posts, news articles, podcasts, and webinars. janvanhaaren.be/posts/soccer...

MOBILE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's a VizMas miracle!

NWSL Data Vizzes? FROM MY PHONE? Great Christmas gift @catabush.com

The final surprise will be unveiled tomorrow…

I can’t wait for next year’s soccer stories. But for me, bad kits mean a much less enjoyable experience. For that reason, I have a few wishes for all the kit manufacturers out there: libush.medium.com/all-i-want-f...

🎁 ASA VizMas Day 5! 🎄 Merry xmas eve! In celebration, I've put together the largest VizMas update yet. Say hello to the date range filter! The new selector allows you to filter every single graphic in the app by specific dates, increasing granularity + control. Excited to see what y'all do with it!

Jamon has been a huge inspiration for me. The amount of stuff he's working on/has built is insane. If you're not staying up to date with his FSDs, you're missing out.

🎁 ASA VizMas Day 4! 🎄 Big changes are coming to the League tab: a reworked UI, a new chart type, and more control over what you want to see. All of the previous scatterplot variables are now available in bar chart form, with extra customization including asc/desc order + # of teams shown. Up now!

It isnt a problem necessarily for men’s coach’s to work in the women’s game. But it is a problem when men’s coaches decide to work in the women’s game because they can’t get jobs in the men’s game. Which is like all the men’s coaches who decide to work in the women’s game.

Forgot to add that the graphics have warning signs to indicate low minutes played in certain seasons. Seasons with less than 200 mins are excluded. Yellow = <750 mins Red = <375 mins Should help for inference purposes. Lmk if you have thoughts on where I should place those cutoffs.

🎁 ASA VizMas Day 3! 🎄 Have you ever wished that you could see a player's career g+ in graphic form? You can now do exactly that on VizHub! Today's addition is a brand-new chart that shows g+ p96 above average across every season. Let me know what you think!

Trade reported here last week just announced by clubs: NY Red Bulls send center back Sean Nealis to D.C. United for $200k GAM in ‘26, $150k in ‘27. Nealis made $626,250 in ‘25, out of contract after ‘26.

Grateful to be on this list :) If you haven’t already, check out the other talented people who have been highlighted this month!!

🎁 ASA VizMas Day 2! 🎄 Today's update has to do with the league tab. 15 new stats are now available, describing passing, discipline, scoring, and more. Here are some of the highlights: - progressive passes + carries - recovery differential - attendance - fouls - set piece/open play goals Up now!

🎁 ASA VizMas Day 1! 🎄 Ever since I introduced the player radars, there has been a missing position: Goalkeeper. That changes now. Introducing the GK template for the VizHub player radars! The template includes PSxG-G, sweeping g+, save %, launch %, claim %, and passing g+. Available now.

I think the letter that @catabush.com says most out of any in the alphabet is G. What g+ maxing will do to a person

logged 5 hours working on the hub today (yesterday?). we're so back.

It's been a while since I made any major ASA VizHub improvements... which is why, over the next 5 days, I'll be releasing a new feature every single day, culminating on the 25th with a major update that's been long overdue. 👀 A VizHub xmas... VizMas, if you will. First update tomorrow 🔜
