Based on the underlying numbers, not as badly as we do. Keep clutching that June table though.

I asked grok to prepare a ranking of total team transfer spend in the last transfer window and if this is true it's got massive implications for the game tomorrow.

That seems like an explanation for why they just didn’t keep it open the whole time. (And the FIFA reg says it’s up to the FA.) Why is the window the exact same length as last year? The reason is obviously not the CWC. Also, we don’t have to interpret BBC articles we can just read the regs.

Question. FIFA passed a rule allowing federations to establish an “exceptional additional registration period” ahead of the Club World Cup from 6/1 to 6/10. The release said it would apply to “all affiliated clubs” within a federation. Have USSF or MLS announced anything on this yet?

You could imagine a lot of permutations. Maybe a regular starter, maybe a starter for big games who comes in early in the 2nd half otherwise (to save his legs). Using the team's recent formations, here are possibilities (haven't thought too hard but I like 4 atb here):

I'm suggesting this as the official emoji sequence for a Corey Baird goal thanks.

Interestingly, the current USL Championship CBA is only guaranteed through the end of this year (notice of termination is due by April 1), but the USL League One CBA is guaranteed through the end of 2027.

This from @mattdoyle.bsky.social is pretty key for me, and he's obviously much better at articulating it than we are.

🎵 Someone is waiting, smooth as Lucho, rapid, and tricky, like Luca. Someone, will lead us, tall as Denkey, with power, and finesse, like Alvaro. Cucho. I’m ready! I’m ready nowwww. 🎵

The thing to keep in mind with Lukas Engel is that if he were American he would have been called up for the 2024 Copa America.

MLS has now clarified that fees from a sale "out of MLS" of a DP who cannot be bought down cannot be converted to GAM. Now, however, they are implying that the cash from a DP sale *within* MLS *can* be converted to GAM. My struggle for them to proofread continues. (Unless this is intentional.)

In case anyone was wondering, Evander pretty much ate Engel's lunch in Denmark. Evander had 2 goals and 3 assists across those games.

It should be illegal to have a Zac Brown, a Zach Bryan, a Luke Bryan, and a Luke Combs. We need to put a pause on this thing until we figure out what's going on. (Anyway, hope they finally figured out the grass situation.)

Not sure what the name is from but we actually had them at our wedding because they're the closest we could get (at least that the caterer was familiar with) to a similar cookie we make at Christmas.

I know the cliche is people don’t have great relationships with their in-laws but I am very lucky and they get the best Christmas gifts.

Not to be reductive, but if this is your quarterback and you’re not in playoff position what’s the argument for your job (I’m talking anyone on the coaching staff or front office).

I’m glad that the analytics crowd supports “pass the ball to an open guy on the ground in the box” and I just wish the FC would occasionally try it or defend it.

Luigi Mangione, the guy arrested in Pennsylvania recently, is the cousin of FC 2 player Peter Mangione. No word on whether the guy whose picture was taken in Starbucks has any relatives that play professional soccer.
