🎨 The cover to The Protagonist Zine, Issue Five - “Chicago” by @supportsball.bsky.social is an homage to soccer in The City of Big Shoulders, and an absolute work of art!

We’re headed back to Amsterdam in November and I plan on taking my oldest daughter to the Anne Frank House. In preparation for the visit, we’re reading her Diary. What a heartbreaking thing.

One of the things I’ve learned in my decade of covering soccer is that not all peers are created equal. Paul Kennedy has always been incredibly welcoming and kind. He’s treated me as an equal when I had no such right to claim it. Massive congrats to him on his retirement from SA editor.

You might get sick of hearing this but if he keeps doing it I'm gonna keep saying it: this is an unconstitutional impoundment, violating both Congress' Article I spending authority and the 1974 Impoundment Control act, and immediately impeachable.

Listening to the audio version of “Everyone Who is Gone is Here” by Jonathan Blitzer. The history of our meddling in the affairs of Central America is long and bloody. Disturbing shit.

I’ve always sort of held out hope for Pulisic being the next goat, but I’m done with him after this tournament. Soft as tissue paper in the rain. Zero mental fortitude. Not a leader.
