Woke up to see that the USMNT put belt to ass on Mexico again? Very nice.

I can think of no product in human history where it demanded we take it seriously and enjoy it. Imagine saying that people are ignorant for not educating themselves on chicken McNuggets. If AI is going to be remotely positive in my life, i recommend someone sell me on that, but all i see is shit.

City players have let their country down again, tag on another charge while we're at it.

I listen to music incessantly throughout the day, whenever I'm not at work essentially. I try and listen to at least 2 new albums per week in totality, so my exsposure to new stuff is very high: That being said, I don't think in my 32 years I've heard a better song than Someone Great.

Matt Freese genuinely just made one of the best double saves you’ll ever see.

Did you watch the Sounders last night and are wondering about all the Tacoma kids who played? Excited about Cavan Sullivan? Do we have the article for you. @kierdoyle.bsky.social tried to figure out how good MLSNP kids actually are. www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2026/8/...

Just in time for the WC final: the first primary WGCF research in five years! I wrangled StatsBomb's open data and 100+ hours later, we learned how strategies for scoring have evolved since 2018 for four tiers of countries. The article focuses on the Top 25% and Bottom 25%. More to be shared. 1/

Nothing to say about the tactical plan or anything structural: Just 11 players who simply were very poor.

Listened to the National's High Violet twice through this morning for the first time in a few years, and fuck me, is there a more perfect album?

There’s never been a crowd shot of USMNT fans where anyone looks like they have a fucking clue what’s going on. It’s impressive really.

Other than France, there’s not been a team who’s been as effective (and at times creative with the rotations) at creating depth behind opposition lines as the US.

It’s really unfortunate we have to play Spain. Didn’t want to have to beat them this early. Would’ve preferred the semi or the final.

Everyone who wanted Algeria to win on here is getting unfollowed/blocked/maybe even both.

(Potential injuries aside) Just about all you can ask for from a WC opener. Best game this team has played for quite some time.

Every major intl tournament, my pals and I prepare to cover it by making a massive Google Sheet guide to all the teams - players, fun facts, tactics - everything you need to know. If you think that sounds good, then you can find it here:

Spain showing some clear examples of how to use 10s & half space occupation as a means to create invasion/depth behind opp. back lines: - Timing of runs to hit gaps to receive when FB releases - Dragging CHs out -> wingers running into vacated space - Clearing space for the #9
