Never felt worse about having takes vindicated

there’s still time

Luca Orellano legacy game time

again

Trinity Rodman coming on was the shift in the game, just not the way the Spirit wanted

euro snobs in shambles tonight

BERHALTER IN

I think it's 20 for me. Can't bring myself to pick a favorite but having a beer and a kasekrainer standing on the fence at Hohe Warte was a pretty good day

ope

does not playing through the summer mean this changes? (as always, RIP free StatsBomb pressing data)

stumbled across Bulgaria's FC Montana today and felt the need to pass it along

Sure, there’ll be conversations about Miles Robinson as a DP to be had but his play (and the vibes) were worth it tonight

More stressful playoff games to come but I’m not sure anything is going to top that, regardless of stakes, for me

just putting this up early for what is sure to be a totally normal couple of months

shrimp on the menu?

The Hell Is Real rivalry between the Columbus Crew and FC Cincinnati may be MLS's best 🍿 @cboehm.bsky.social spoke to Wilfried Nancy and Pat Noonan about their "love" for the rivalry and the tactics that define it ahead of this weekend's playoff rematch. More ⤵️ www.backheeled.com/columbus-cre...

unfortunately FCC needs Brenner and Evander to drop deep in possession and no real attacker is in position to attack that ball from Ender

Evander back to scoring from outside the box just in time.

yep

Flacco-pilled and ready to get my heart broken again

Incredible levels of chaos from Teenage Hadebe and Alvas Powell playing together (complimentary)

who needed that weird AI nostalgia slop today when the Bengals being embarrassing on national TV delivered in a much more real way

I fear for amount of microtransactions coming with this LBO debt on the books

Albright getting closer to embracing an All of the Above roster building strategy

The first generation of post-Shaq Shaqs reaching grizzled vet status on teams isn't exactly making me feel young.

oh Racing, not again

Over the last 5 months, I've been working on building an app that allows *everyone* to generate data visualizations using ASA data. From match-level action plots to season-long radar charts, VizHub lets you download tons of different graphics with ease. It's 100% free and public, too. Enjoy!

an understatement to say this is awesome. @cata-bush.bsky.social absolutely crushed it.

good for Miles. The big pieces of the 2026 roster are already looking pretty locked in. Albright going to have to find value on the edges.

remembering some guys

I am begging for one (1) long throw into the box

seriously though, against 10 men, why try to play even narrower in an attempt to break down the union?

Find someone who loves you as much as Brian Anunga loves making routine clearances in acrobatic ways

ah well nevertheless

Preferring to live in a reality where Andrew Rick is actually just a random Union home grown whose first name is Rick and went with that on the back of his jersey

Echenique looks to be playing either too fast or too slow right now, unsurprisingly. Orellano at half would help a lot.

Team just doesn’t pass well enough to try to play out of the back against a team that presses like Philly

How does Chelsea still not have a front of shirt sponsor?

Chris Albright didn't read this about how unsustainable #fccincy 's attacking numbers have been so far and make big transfer splashes - but, maybe he did? open.substack.com/pub/preseaso...

Chris Albright on his efforts to make MLS Roster Deadline day dramatic

also glad I got this post out yesterday about how #fccincy 's attack has been built around almost certainly unsustainable shots before the Yedlin trade.

Where (I think) I'm at on this* There's a chance this move raises FCC's ceiling and chances of winning MLS Cup. The team's floor is also probably a lot lower. But I'm okay with betting on the upside of an actually balanced attack. *subject to change if there's a real replacement incoming.

wrote about Evander's absurd long distance shooting season and the need for #fccincy to find an alternate attacking plan that is just a little bit better down the stretch open.substack.com/pub/preseaso...

assuming he'll be sticking at max-TAM this is great business

might turn on notifications for @gameflow.bsky.social just so I can see the Gotham-Dash chart as soon as possible

if you’re staying awake to see Cincy control the ball, maybe just go to bed. Denkey and Ender on the counter could be electric though
