I'm labouring the point I made on @joshrjhealey.bsky.social podcast recently, but Wanderers don't have a goalscoring problem. Only two teams in the CPL have scored more. The problem - and the reason we're unlikely to make the playoffs - has been defensive. So tonight's clean sheet is overdue.

Any chance we can finish one of these chances, lads? What's that? You'd rather blow them all and then let in a sloppy equaliser like before? Crack on, then 👍

Still baffled by last night. After half time, 2-0 up, there were 2-3 really good counter attacking opportunities to score a third. All wasted through dumb decisions. Saw Vanni lose his shit each time because the pass choice was so poor. Dropped 5pts from 2 goal leads at home this season. Annoying.

No one has ever been quite as wrong as I, five minutes into the match, saying with astonishing confidence that "due to the sun in our eyes, we'll lose the first half but batter them second half - trust me". Lads, my head is on mars after that. What the actual.

For evening games at Wanderers Grounds, the most important event happens before the match: the coin toss. Because I'm telling you, the Wanderers players cannot see shit right now. Blinding sun facing them. Gotta make it to half-time.

Fantastic game. Exactly what the CPL should be. Brilliant atmosphere, end to end, a lot of bite. Hope Supra can sustain that level of support across a season. Biggest compliment I can give is that the gridiron markings really annoyed me at first, but the match was so enjoyable I forgot them.

Thought the Wanderers managed the final ten minutes well this afternoon. But good intent lost out to bad execution. Intent was to stay on the front foot, make positive subs, play the game in PFC half. Largely, they did. Execution was big missed chances, poorly taken FK, frantic final play. Pain.

Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti. "Please get the truth out about our son."
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti
Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti

“We are heartbroken but also very angry.

Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact.

I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. 

Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

There needs to be serious discussions around the World Cup being moved to a different country. Today's footage is some of the most despicable shit I've ever seen, and the tyranical, odious, orange-faced slug who permitted this should not be rewarded by FIFA. Spineless, corrupt cunts, all of them.

I'm torn on Hummel being the new CPL kit maker. On the one hand, they made my favourite ever shirt: Denmark, 1986. On the other hand, they made the HFX Tides kit, which is so egregiously low-effort and phoned in that I hope the NSL sends them to the Hague.
