I am tired of soccer of the americas /globe getting dictated by beans and toast visions when we got more stars on our chest. We trying to turn ourselves to entities that ain’t got trophies. And thinking fun, fast, transitional soccer is bad or flavor is inferior. Meanwhile it cooks everyone.

Immediate thoughts: Atlantic City? At a glance I’m seeing a palace on a mountain, or a volcano. My eye goes to the center and down, I don’t see the whole image right away. Why does it look like the bird is lined up in crosshairs, about to be shot in the throat??? Kinda mockingjay vibes.

I’m sorry, I can see the argument, but realistically: how does a hydration break make it safe to play in an air quality that is considered unhealthy for everyone, when long and intense activity should be reduced, at the very minimum? Safe air should be non-negotiable, for everyone involved.
