I’ve been hanging out on Threads instead of Blue Sky of late but the #FAcup has brought me back. WOW. Macclesfield! Look at that joy. (Need to google what a “silkmen” is now.)

We shouldn't have to listen to Infantino, Trump, and Alexi Lalas in the same broadcast.

I had to mute the World Cup Draw pre-show. It was a narcissistic men propaganda festival.

@paullecomtephoto.nz - your son's heroics extend beyond scoring goals, it seems. www.uwp.edu/explore/news...

www.forwardmadisonfc.com/news/2025/08... So excited for a women’s team in Madison!

We are putting our 14.5 year old dog down tomorrow and EVERYTHING is making me cry. Today's YNWA is going to absolutely destroy me. I don't even care if they win. Just love your people (and your dogs) as we walk through this life.

Thank you Mo. Sad he missed the penalty kick today, but I logged back on to twitter this morning just to like his tweet. www.cnn.com/2025/08/09/w...

Madison United won the Wisconsin Cup! 2-0 but WI Conquerors had some fast young players. Fun game to watch and bonus: I got to see my kid play again!

😢💔 So tragic and sad.

When the going gets tough, Swiftie soccer fans make bracelets. Stop by the Flock tent at tonight’s FMFC game for free stickers and bracelets and hope.

He may be my new favorite baseball player. Got a little teary eyed myself when I watched his post-game interview. www.mlb.com/news/jacob-m...

Never thought I’d agree with a sentence starting with “At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers…” but here we are. 20+ years later and the remix is even worse than the original.

Sounds like quite a few of us got suspended from Threads today. I’ve been trying to interact less with Meta, so maybe this is a good thing…All I posted was pictures of the protest so I’m not sure why that is ban-worthy?

Airplane internet is awesome. Currently listening to @talkinflock.bsky.social with @spokanesoccershow.com and @robchappell365.bsky.social on our way to Spokane for tomorrow’s @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social game. First visit to Spokane- very excited!

When the camera panned to Jurgen’s big smile after Salah’s goal….😭❤️😭

It just seems like both Palace and Liverpool are filled with and led by decent people. ❤️⚽️. (Has anyone ever made a documentary about Palace? …Like “being Liverpool” (my fav doc of all time)

The good news: @meninblazers.bsky.social posted a clip featuring my favorite USL local soccer team! 🦩 The bad news: it’s this… (It’s over on Twitter. I refuse to link to anything on that platform)

So happy for Crystal Palace! (And now “Glad all over” will be in my head all day.)

😭😭😭 (and puts his post-game tears in such a meaningful context) - what a beautiful piece of writing. www.theplayerstribune.com/alisson-beck...

Ok. This song I don’t know. I love it but what is it?

Happy soccer players awkwardly dancing in a full stadium while the crowd sings is the best thing ever.

😭😭😭

I’m not crying you’re crying 🎶 #YNWA

The soccer scriptwriters got this one perfect. #ynwa

Today, we all belong to Cody Gakpo.

Watching on TV, It feels like the entire stadium is singing their hearts out. (Joining in from my couch when I can. ❤️🥁🚩⚽️) #ynwa

As I’m watching #LIVTOT I’m wondering if @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social can connect #YNWA to Tuberculosis? (Also everyone should read his latest book “Everything is Tuberculosis”)

Tough @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social loss but we got to meet a lot of awesome people from the @brickyardbattalion.com and argue over which is Peter Wilt’s favorite team…⚽️🦩

Just one goal #LFC - please?? Doesn’t even need to be a pretty one. #YNWA.

I love this year’s kit so much. Can’t wait to wear it tomorrow for the home opener!

Trying everything in my power to get back to Madison in time for @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social @opencup.ussoccer.com game! On my third flight plan attempt now. Darn thunderstorms.

a good election night in Wisconsin! We can’t be bought by a bigoted billionaire!

In his 1957 filibuster, Strom Thurmond said "Negroes ... are not so well qualified to vote as are the white people.” A Black senator just broke the record Thurmond set with that speech. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/cory-bo...

Went to bed listening to Cory Booker and woke up listening to him. Currently 30k+ on the TikTok live. Half expecting Tess to start live-streaming. 💙. Thank you senator.

What a fun night of USL soccer. Open Cup shenanigans w/red cards, scuffles, & penalties - AND pro-rel? ❤️⚽️❤️

So, the Forward v Naples game did not go the way we wanted - but we got to meet the wonderful people of Barra 239 and Naples FC. (In the end, isn’t all about the people you meet along the way?)

Alarm went off at 4:20 am. At gate at 4:52. That may be a new bed-to-gate record for me. 32 minutes. I do love our small efficient airport here in Madison.

Everyone’s picking this even though it can’t possibly be the answer, right?

Until tonight, I had watched every single state of the union speech since 1990. Democrat, Republican - I watched them all. Until this one. I just couldn’t. Hosted my bookclub instead and enjoyed intelligent discussion.

Remembering when we went to Charlotte for a #USL1 @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social game. Even rival team supporters can come together to realize the Russian invasion of Ukraine is bad for the world - why can’t our politicians? #WeStandWithUkraine

In two weeks we’ll be in Naples for @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social first game! So excited for the USL season to start!

I somehow managed to figure out how to log into Peacock at my parents house and was awarded with a Mo Salah goal! #YNWA

Had dinner with a wonderful 97 year old woman who was very critical of Trump. I asked about favorite president of her lifetime. She said it was either Roosevelt or Obama. (For some reason, that gave me hope.)

Well, this is a new one. Evidently our plane had an error message so they are “restarting” it. Waiting on maintenance. (My guess is that delta is being super cautious…2 plane crashes in a week would not be good for business)

Interesting. In general, I support anything that brings more soccer. And USL pro/rel would be amazing.

i think kendrick is president now?

Thank you Nike, for the first good ad of the game.

Just showed the latest ‘HeGetsUs’ Super Bowl ad to Jesus and Johnny Cash and they’re both freaking PISSED.

Instead of watching Musk's $40 million anti-USAID ads during the Super Bowl tonight, watch this and share it. This is what he and Trump have killed. All the good work they do is no more. Trump and Musk are POS PIGS.
