Second goalie goal at Segra; Joe Kuzminsky scored for Charleston in 2022, and Hugo Fauroux assisted on one in Colorado in 2023, Jordan’s USL nerdery sells this one

Weirdly not the first Barry Seal biopic, but hilarious that Cruise unknowingly has inherited a Frank Booth vibe from Dennis Hopper

Minor quibble here, in that Color of Money is a Scorsese movie Tom Cruise happens to be in. A better choice of Tom Cruise movie that highlights his scene chewing of the last few years might be Doug Liman’s American Made (an underrated one imo)

Let’s be real if he leaves and is able to take that almost $2m in guaranteed money for ‘27 with him then DC deserves every bit of derision and more

This week’s @datacentersoccer.bsky.social is a reader, as Loudoun’s loss to the Hounds is quick, “Abdellatif Aboukoura, distributor” could be intriguing, and “Al Pacino Lego Movie” should happen

You can drop an organizational context stipulation in all the live long day, but contrast Ben’s window comments now to the latter 2010s, or to his successors, for a fun experiment

The thing is they can still clear money off the cap, and that’s OK (see below), but this front office, as comprised, doesn’t have and hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt, ever since they thought Santino Quaranta would be an adequate 10 after a quiet offseason

Caden Clark played 139 minutes in his first DC United season and Nathan Ordaz has played 116 minutes since coming over last month and boy just that parallel alone should frighten the organization

Putting aside the lolz of Caden Clark’s DC United origin story, his presumed winter departure puts DC in a super good position this winter as some chucklehead wrote recently

D.C. United is positioned to make bold moves now AND later
It's kind of scary to consider, I know!
