Why is this #switchbacksfc vlog, of all my vlogs, doing so well? Was it a good and enjoyable game experience? Absolutely. Did I think the Switchbacks and Colorado had "dramatically outpace my other recent vlogs" quality? No. I mean, I'll take it. Just want to know WHY?

Cannot wait to see the Borivia* friendly in STL if that happens! *- according to one STL content creator and his trusty sidekick "Bad AI", we've been saying "Bosnia" wrong this whole time!

Sometimes you have to do some self-preservation no matter how badly you want a wild adventure. Sorry #LouCity and #LexGo but I am calling an audible. Still going to Sarasota Paradise vs @boiseprosoccer.bsky.social to hang with the Boise River Guard though! #USL #USLChampionship #USLLeagueOne

As discussed on @redsmokerising.bsky.social last night, I made a plea. Whether you call yourself #AllForCITY or #STLRising, you've called yourself St. Louisians probably for much longer. It's time to show the world our love for our oots in the #USOC2026. Tix: app.fanbaseclub.com/Fan/Tickets/...

This guy just made 3 insane stops on Gabon but they banged home a point blank rebound. $184 is a bargain. #AFCON

I LOVE YOU AFCON! Mozambique could get their first win ever in #AFCON and it's because of beauties like this! So much crazy happens in this tournament and I am here for it.

Many get to spend the holidays with loved ones. But this goes out to the rest of us. This wasn't easy to make because this hits hard for me, but feeling hopelessly alone is 10 times harder. If this helps even ONE person, then it'll be worth whatever dignity I shed making it.

Tom Franklin @soccerzombie.com · 22/12/2025

This time 2 years ago, I started working on my first Soccer Zombie video. (It sucked) As we approach a time of reflection, I'm looking back at my 2025 journey. Copa90. 4 US corners. Non-League. #AllForCITY anguish. #FCTulsa triumph. And the other videos that defined me. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!

I think I bought this at a #STLBlues equipment sale years back and just discovered it in my closet with the tag hanging off. Might be time to give this one a shift, eh?
