Aragon says you've already had it

Merry says we've had one, yes

Merry says "what about second ACFC?"

The first text of ACFC is in pink approximating the colors of Angel City FC. The second ACFC is in red-orange approximating the colors of the newly announced Atlanta City FC

Did you know you can "win" the Wooden Spoon in Cien Goles? There are few different comments the game will make when it happens.

Added a fix and a couple of enhancements to Cien Goles today on the Bluesky / share functionality: 1. Enhancement: the league shows in the first line 2. Fix: NWSL Champions instead of MLS Cup Champions if the league is NWSL 🙃 3. Your individual awards are shown with the player who got them.

Did you get 100 goals on easy and medium difficulties in Cien Goles? It's time to try hard difficulty! Here are a few tips to getting more goals (these work on easy and medium as well): 1) There is no overall rating, so look at the colored WGCF boxes. Higher numbers and darker boxes are better.

Five months later, Vancouver and SKC are in the running as the best and worst teams by xPoints since 2013. Nashville are likely going to win the Supporter's Shield like most teams over the last few years - by over-performing their underlying metrics. Montreal has had rotten luck.

Scatter plot of xPoints on x-axis and Points-xPoints on the y axis. Nashville is really lucky, Montreal really unlucky, and SKC and Vancouver are really bad and good.

Brian White just did what I think there should be more of in soccer: redirected a shot hockey-style. Sure that initial ball had an outside chance, but it made it such an “easy” finish because the keeper was on the post, following it.

Just checking in my data, and we have had no Cien Goles yet on Hard difficulty. In Hard difficulty, you lose seeing the overall rating, but you get to keep the all the WGCF category data (although pick from worse teams overall). Who can be the first? Be sure to share on Bluesky if you get it!

This is something I just wanted to point out (and shoutout Daniel for clarification) but just because a deal is done doesn’t mean the team gets the money to be used as GAM instantly. They must actually receive the payment before it can be converted; you can’t have money that you don’t have yet

Going to my first NWSL game this year today! (Reign vs. Bay FC was my one game last year, and I got to meet the great @arielledror.bsky.social at halftime 😁) I get asked about Where Goals Come From for women's ⚽ vs. men's, and my answer remains, "the game is the game -- all levels, all genders."

This summer, MLS teams spent a record-breaking amount of money on player transfers: $188 million. That's a 65% increase year-over-year and takes the yearly total to over $410 million, twice what it was in 2022. I dug into the data for @theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
