You know what's funny about this discourse is that most people I've seen have said the same as you and yet I've heard this song a ton and my daughter has known all the words to it for months

Well worth it for a guy who scored the goal to clinch a spot in MLS Cup and then in the next match tallied the game-winning assist to win the club's only league title.

Kevin Kelsy will travel to formalize final details + undergo medical and complete his $13m move to Rangers once he receives his visa Portland will be active in final week of window but can use up to four U-22 slots by the winter and will be very agressive on that front

What do you do at work? Oh, you know, just find old newspaper articles about pro baseball players jumping into the stands to retrieve a ball and it ending with a gun being brandished (Shoutout Newspapers.com and the 1894 Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)

Unless something has changed in the Laws of the Game (always possible), this is an auto red card when done by a manager. The Casey Stoney Rule.

The imbalance in the 'touches in the opposition's penalty box' is now up to 55-3 as the match reaches injury time. Absurd. Toluca are ferocious.

I mean to be fair Rensenbrink's post shot was from a very tight angle! Wasn't like he just missed, lol

With all due respect to a journeyman like Ibad, Rensenbrink scored a World Cup hat trick! Lol

This is such a cynical view of data's use in the game. Like, yeah, momentum can confirm what you already know or describe what you missed, but this argues that is... a bad thing? The argument is that momentum is a tool for ads, a reflection of the AI-ification of the industry. But that's just wrong.
