Say what you will about American soccer/football, but hard to beat the energy and enthusiasm (and celebrations) in the NCAA college game. This from my son’s Indiana team, which defeated rival Maryland to extend their unbeaten start of the season to 11 matches. youtu.be/uGpGrI6MoDE?...

Been distracted by the start of men's college (NCAA) soccer season these past few days. Surreal watching my boy (Grant, num 12) put in a shift last night after an early call into the match. Highlights attached cued to his late assist (note NCAA clocks count down not up). youtu.be/dvIGMuYfQvk?...

#FPL GW1 is here! Definitely looks like I played it my own way. Lot of potentially explosive differentials. Will BB in good time, but not today. Haaland a last-minute cap'n choice. Have a great weekend.

Nice summary. Not much to take from these exhibitions. Forest have two home friendlies this week coming where I expect you’ll see the first choice team. Wood’s fitness and age probably end him as an FPL option. Williams got a shot away in a good position. Murillo is back. Diomande signing.

I recognize one of those boys on the right. My son's US college soccer journey has brought him home to Indiana University, winner of US-best 8 college titles since 1982 (but none for a decade+). As opening game approaches, excited to see how this group comes together this fall in search of number 9!

Indiana U. men's soccer rated as the top transfer class for this year out of 200+ Division I colleges.

Still early but what non-promotion Premier League teams do you think could be heading the wrong direction in the table this season? In other words, where are the early #FPL fixture trackers getting things wrong? Initial thoughts: Newcastle, Everton, Palace, Fulham to perform worse than expected

Found this in photos of a 2018 trip w/ my 12-yo son to Spain (Donostia in Basque country). Son, his US mates and team they'd just played all gathered to watch Spain exit the WC in R16 pens to Russia (thanks Aspas). Never any doubt for us that Spain's now young men would someday lift a WC trophy.

There is no cure for Parkinson’s. And currently, Parkinson’s treatment might alleviate symptoms, but it doesn’t treat the root cause, so over time symptoms will get worse. We need new treatments that can protect brain cells and slow down the progression of Parkinson’s.

Current Parkinson's treatments that help to manage some symptoms don't target the root cause, so the condition continues to progress.
