📏 Martim Fernandes' own goal in Porto vs Nottingham Forest last night was scored from 43.96m out. It's the furthest out that an own goal has been scored from in any of the top five European leagues, the Champions League or the Europa League in the last 10 years😱

OFFICAL: Nico Schlotterbeck extends his contract until 2031! #BVB

Next crisis for FIFA? SoFi Stadium workers bargaining agreement has expired and threatening a strike at LA venue hosting eight World Cup games. The issues: ICE, Airbnb, AI. “At this point, (striking) is pretty realistic,” the union tell @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/718...

Schlotterbeck will have a release clause between 50 and 60 million euros and will apply to only a few clubs. 🗞 @kicker #BVB

No detail provided for Mosquera, but Bassett's absence from training today was precautionary. Last week, Bassett felt something during the Thursday session which led to him missing the VAN game. The club has put an emphasis on waiting for players to recover "100%" from injuries this year. #RCTID

“All sorts of local businesses answered the call. Coffee shops, landscapers, second-hand car dealerships and even a company called ‘Aliens Are Real’ sponsored Elversberg.”

Not so long ago, Elversberg were in the German fourth tier. Now they're on the brink of the Bundesliga! 🇩🇪 Read & subscribe to 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐒𝐨𝐜𝐜𝐞𝐫 𝐃𝐢𝐬𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐜𝐡 👇

Loves that football.

The team with a mercurial Brazilian player that has a history of checking out big moments thinking about signing a *different* mercurial Brazilian player that has a history of checking out in big moments? What could go wrong!

Neymar is under contract with Santos through the end of the year. Cincy doesn't currently have a DP spot open. Club believes they are a destination for global names and USMNT stars alike and has explored potential deals in the past. Will continue in the future, just as they are with Neymar.

I agree with the “need to deliver” part

Oh my God. #RCTID

The blue US kit is bad because of this. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

How long until soccer’s first sign-stealing scandal

Why would the refs do this? #RCTID

Reading these quotes, you would have no clue that this team has won a grand total of two league games since July 2025 #RCTID

It’s not unreasonable at all for Ned Grabavoy to want to give Neville until the World Cup break to save his job. But that’s just 8 games, 5 of which are on the road, and probably only 2 of which you could call “winnable” on paper. The seat is blazingly hot. #RCTID

Ned Grabavoy on the head coaching position. #RCTID

Some of what we learned from Timbers GM Ned Grabavoy’s presser #RCTID “I want to give them (coaching staff) the full opportunity through this first 14 games.” -Timbers turned down two sizable offers for young players this window

Donald Trump must be removed from office. Not only is he waging an illegal war—he’s threatening war crimes. To the members of our military: remember, you do not have to follow illegal orders.

To our military leaders, remember this: You are legally required to refuse orders to commit war crimes.

"Croesus then asked if he should make war on the Persians and if he should take to himself any allied force. The oracles to whom he sent this question included those at Delphi and Thebes. Both oracles gave the same response, that if Croesus made war on the Persians he would destroy a mighty empire."

Great call. It’s not like we’re hosting the World Cup

It's April 6, and according to Phil Neville, the Portland Timbers are only a league-wide shift in how the team is officiated away from being "a really good team." www.i-5corridor.com/p/dreadful-s...

The Portland Timbers went from a winning position in stoppage time to dropping all three points in a matter of five minutes against Vancouver. After the game, Phil Neville was asked about his job security. Is there a way back for the Timbers with Neville at the helm or is it time to move on?

Good—in the sense of accurate—Timbers discussion today #RCTID

*TRUMP: I DIDN'T DESTROY THE QUINTESSENTIAL GLOBAL PUBLIC GOOD FOR NO REASON. STOP SAYING I DID.

In his season debut, Juan Mosquera earns a spot on the MLS team of the matchweek bench. #RCTID Playing just 45min he notched an incredible goal and assist from right back 🇨🇴

I want to give it some time, but I'm slightly worried that we're about to see a rerun of 2024 and 2025 where three (four) CMs are competing for two starting jobs and a clear first-choice pairing never materializes until too late. Just like the 2024 CBs too. Lineup consistency is a priority. #RCTID

My recap of yesterday's loss. #RCTID

This among the reasons you never leave early.

Leeds United have reached the FA Cup semi-finals.

Love to have the president threatening war crimes all because he was stupid enough to start a war that nobody wanted and nobody needed.

The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.

King of Cards 🟨 Diego Chara is now the MLS all-time leader in yellows

If only there has been some way to know that missile strikes are insufficient for winning a war.

Nice

The biggest story in the world right now is that the president of the United States is a demented old man who takes pleasure in torturing and killing people and is committing crimes with impunity. And yet most legacy media outlets are too cowardly to tell it like it is.
