Just added a list of articles I've written to the site. Primarily it's articles on soccer history and NISA. There's some fun stuff in there. And, it's nice to have them all in one place. socceralmanac.com/publications/

The Final Curtain 27/5/1971 - Lev Yashin bids farewell to football, hailed by 103,000 fans at Lenin Stadium, #Moscow, #USSR. After 330 appearances for #DinamoMoscow & 74 caps for the #SovietUnion, The Black Spider - Balon D'Or winner in 1963 - was finally hanging up his gloves.

Glad to help out with this & see #Atlanta make the starting XI. A hurculean effort by Kirk & Tom who did a great job tracing the metro area’s #soccerhistory & those of other important “soccertowns” across the U.S. (although Tom gets a yellow for the use of “Hotlanta”). Definitely give it a listen!

If you were concerned about Kimmel, here's another for you… Journalist Mario Guevara has been detained for 100+ days, ironically arrested as he reported on a "No Kings" protest. The Trump-Vance admin just issued an order of final removal, to send him to El Salvador—where he fled from 21 years ago.

@ossoff.senate.gov @ossoff.bsky.social @warnock.senate.gov Coastal Georgians will be contacting our Senators to advocate for justice for Mario

I just saw the sad news that pioneering Jamaican football player, coach, & Bob Marley’s music mgr. Allan “Skill” Cole died earlier this month. Cole had a (very) brief stint w/the #AtlantaChiefs before Santos & Náutico in Brazil & the Jamaican national team. www.jamaicaobserver.com/2025/09/09/a...

In these dark and dour times, I'm reminding myself that the tournament now known and revered as the Lamar Hunt US Open Cup survived the Great Depression, two world wars, the collapse of multiple US professional soccer leagues and a global pandemic or two. History matters, and futbol really is life.

Surely, Deila can’t escape this predicament!!

You know who was also a young husband and father—not to mention ex-Marine—who died, not attacking others to make himself rich and powerful, but to save the lives of others? David Rose, the officer killed by the anti-vax domestic terrorist who attacked the CDC. apnews.com/article/deka...

#OnThisDay in 1967 – Dragan Djukic scored 3 times (hat-trick) for the hosts #OaklandClippers as it won the #NationalProfessionalSoccerLeague Championship after defeating #BaltimoreBays, 4:1, in 2nd leg final (4:2 agg.) at #OaklandAlamedaColiseum.

Five-holing the keeper on that N. Macedonia goal after dribbling past the entire Lichtenstein back line was just insult to injury.
