Still working on my Soccerology degree innit

I’m at least impressed that some of those are legitimate issues that need to be addressed. Your stance regarding MLS specifically is pretty baffling though and speaks to a misunderstanding of soccer culture in this country and the history of failure therein. USL is not a saintly organization by...

Just read that the new subscriber count ticked over 1,000,000 today. Was at ~700,000 when I first heard about the ruckus yesterday. That's a massive influx; shout outs to the engineers there who are probably pulling all sorts of wild hours to keep the servers from catching fire. @BarryBondage...

Damn, countering my bitch-ass snark with sound logic. You'd be amazed how rarely that happens! Just being a dick, no true harm meant.

They're on track to add over a million new accounts this week. It's a really interesting one; web apps don't often get a second wind of mass interest like this. I figured BlueSky would pretty much carry on like Mastodon with a small but respectable number of users.

Micah Parsons has essentially fired Mike McCarthy by saying he feels bad for "the guys who put in more work than Mike McCarthy ever did". I don't think I've ever heard a player go at their HC like that.

Wattage doesn’t equate to color “accuracy” tbf. /physics-pedant

Marco Angulo, FC Cincinnati midfielder. Aged 22. Someone who was born after 2000 shouldn’t be dying before me. Overly simple take, I know.

So is the anti-USSF thing real or just a windup you keep in the back pocket? Asking genuinely.

Finally, a Wolves-branded 10 Pin shirt. Looks great on Mario, but Mario could wear an old burlap sack and look good.

Old news at this point, but in what was a hilarious result for me personally, Inter Messi (and Friends) got knocked out of the MLS Playoffs in Round 1, beaten by an Atlanta team that finished the season 34 points below Miami. Of course, the downside is that if Charlotte hadn't given up a 102'...

Aye, I see. Looking again it seems odd how lopsided our compressed shape is. Absolutely nobody in the left channel.

What should I be aghast at in that? No snark.

Almost have to respect it. Lad on the left of the frame seems to be saving the image for later... And no, that's not me.

The year 2034... "Mate, I'm so tired of mining quartz for GPT every day. I miss 5 day work weeks and 8 hour shifts." "Shut it, you moron, don't you remember they got Coote sacked? It's a debt we can't hope to repay."

Maybe it's just because it's almost unbelievable that he'd say what he did, then immediately follow up with "ooo nobody can share that now that I've said it"... I dunno, it definitely crossed my mind that the guy in the vid is a ringer. Almost Coote but just a little bit off. Could be camera...

Not sure it's something that can be leveled with much specificity tbh, or if that's even useful. I remember Neymar getting a banana thrown at him in 2011 (fuck me that's 13 years ago) in a friendly against Scotland, which was being played somewhere in England (somewhere in London IIRC). Seems...

I guess I’d never clocked other sides doing it, not so blatantly at least. Sá looked directly at GO and made a face before going down. Hideously obvious. Maybe easy to ignore when 99% of tackles get made a complete meal of. Yeah, most of them probably hurt, but the fucking rolling and moaning...

StuntPegg is great but she’s always got an angle beyond just “ooooo a thing happened on the pitch and I feel ways about it”. It’s just the web in the age of SEO. Clickbait works.
