What a message from both sets of players to start the USL Championship Final, wearing t-shirts that say: "USL HQ: PRO REL? TRY PRO STANDARDS FIRST" Major statement made from the USL Players Association.

Hartford 🤝 Detroit 🤝 Tulsa Taking the eventual champs to PKs. Congrats Hounds.

Forever proud of the block I earned from Riley Gaines at the old place by congratulating her on not drowning.

InterFed playoff draw released... - DR Congo will face either New Caledonia or Jamaica. - Iraq faces Bolivia or Suriname. Matches in March in Monterrey and Guadalajara.

This window has delivered some amazing storylines and moments of pure joy. To amend a quote, "how can you not be romantic about football?"

The ultimate minnow is in the big pool...

The moment you learn you just made your first World Cup since 1974...

Not looking good for Suriname They're trailing Guatemala 2-0 and Panama is up 2-0 vs El Salvador. As it stands, Panama would get the auto bid and Suriname would be on the outside looking in as Honduras and Jamaica would get the playoff spots.

Jim Jordan:

So far today: - Iraq gets into the InterFed playoffs. - Scotland & Austria make their first WC since 1998 CONCACAF up next and you could see 2 nations make their first ever (Suriname & Curacao) and another make their first in a half century (Haiti)

If your Scottish friends are going mental at the moment, this is why...

Holy smokes... Iraq punches their ticket to the InterFed playoffs in March courtesy of a VAR reviewed penalty at *90+17*....

So it's Scumbag Day at the White House....

Decision Day across 3 feds with 7 spots in the World Cup on the line. We'll know all but 6 of the 48 team field. Another quick guide to what's at stake..

To the shock of absolutely nobody, Germany and the Netherlands have punched their tickets to the World Cup in emphatic fashion. Slovakia & Poland heading to the playoffs.

A "calm before the storm" day in UEFA WCQ as three groups wrap up (A, G, & L). Germany-Slovakia is the main event as Germany clinches group A with a win or draw. Slovakia has to win to qualify, otherwise, its playoffs.

Tweed-New Haven is literally the closest airport to me (around 40 min). If I have to fly domestic, I'll be opting for either Bradley or Westchester instead.

Wow. DR Congo just sent Nigeria home via PKs. They move on to the Inter-Federation playoffs in March.

Norway visiting the San Siro to lock up their first WC birth since 1998. Italy needs to get 9 to take the top spot. ...and Italy get one just 12' in.

Ukraine needing to win for a playoff spot doing so with 2 late goals. The other matches going on are meaningless as England and France already qualified and Albania has a playoff spot.

Parrott's winner at 90+6 as called on RTÉ2.

Hungary vs Ireland about to start. Ireland is in must win mode to make the playoff round. Will need to tap into what they showed on Thursday in Dublin. COYBIG!

Sorry not sorry, but that's about the best ending possible. Hartford and Detroit supporters can at least say that they took Pittsburgh into Extra Time & PKs..and didn't get anyone sent off either. Auf Wehdersehn, RIFC. You will not be missed. Back to the Four-Oh-Done with ya.

Nobody roasts like the Irish. As someone that has quite a few coworkers there, I've heard and been on the end of some.

I'm sorry...*how* many?

If the Giants can fire Daboll, NY can fire this guy...

Durbin strikes me as a guy that would click on any link in an email and then wonder why he has to convert cash into Bitcoin to unlock his files...

This was absolutely insane.

First thing any new leader should do is boot this feckless asshole from the caucus.

Shaheen going for hope in one hand and shit in the other and is going to find out quickly which one fills up first.

I left messages with both of my senators stating this is the bare minimum right now. Schumer & Durbin both deserve to be stripped of their positions for this failure. They have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt they aren't up to the task of fighting and instead prefer to appease.

Call a Senator that voted no tonight and demand that they vote to remove Chuck Schumer as Senate Minority Leader. He has weaponized his incompetence against the American people by allowing 8 Dem Senators to cave to an authoritarian regime. We need real leadership, not the oligarchy’s lapdog

There's only 2 things I wanna hear from this moldy asshole... 1 - he's stepping down as Senate Minority leader because he can't be trusted to make a bowl of Cheerios without adult supervision, much less lead a caucus. 2 - he's leaving the Senate (either immediately or not seeking re-election).

Tonight is one of those nights I’m glad I’m not a paid Dem influencer, they have to defend this crap because they took the cash. Don’t buy the BS.

So out of the Gang Of 8, 2 are retiring, 3 are in the cycle after this upcoming one next year, and the others just got voted in last year... Figures they can be cowards without any accountability from their constituents.

In footballing terms, this is like Barça blowing the second leg vs Liverpool.

Yet you let this happen without a fight. Fucking hypocrite. Resign, you ineffectual lump of putty.

Not even 48 hours later, this hypothesis from one of my senators is sadly becoming reality because of an ineffective leader and 8-10 selfish fucks that can't be kicked out of office soon enough.

This is certainly a choice...an extremely bad one that will surely backfire, but a choice.

Things like "starving a segment of your population" have serious consequences. Ask the Bourbons, Romanovs, and Ceaușescus how that turned out for them...

If you see MLB or NHL players posting about it then you know the revolution is at hand

Me right now:

This is how I’m gonna look every time someone hits the dislike button on one of my posts

This thread... If the details don't horrify and enrage you, then I honestly question your humanity. A Nuremberg-esque tribunal might be way too kind for these scumbags when accountability comes calling.

The ones in my home town that say this are afraid to go to Waterbury or Danbury, much less NYC. We let a bunch of squishy soft inbred cowards win in 2024.

Things like this make me think..."Marat, Danton, Robespierre..those guys may have been on to something..."
