03/12/22. The boss at @teamnbsmedia.bsky.social hit me up about attending a Rapids match. It was my infancy of football love. Four years later, football is my favorite sport to watch/consume. Along the way, I’ve met some amazing people to do this with and get me out of bed. No One Good FC!

However sorely this campaign ended, it’s still unreal I get to call this work.

This year taught me more than any other and has been stressful, but equally rewarding. The people pictured, and all you who read and listen, make it worth the long days.

Season three ✅

I was not a fan of this. At all. I’ve been a big Chris Armas Fan since day one. The attitude and the nastiness that he came it @bymattpollard.bsky.social, the most professional media member on the beat, was absolutely unacceptable. Horrible look for Chris. Matt deserves better than that

Chris Armas on his future being out of contract, after being snarky and attacking our coverage as always being negative and wondering how many people read us:

"It's fresh. It just ended (the season). We'll have discussions."

Its Decision Day! We dreamed of things so impossible. No, it’s time to remember to breathe and everything will be okay.

You have every right to protest and it doesn’t mean you hate America. Don’t let him get under your skin. Let the world see that they are the fascist agitators they are. Know rights and don’t give in!

If you’re attending a No Kings Rally today, first of all, thank you! More importantly, be safe. He who would be king will be releasing his agitators to try and push his narrative that you’re all “Antifa domestic terrorists.” Keep calm.

The injury report for both teams tomorrow is as good as can be expected this time of year. The only surprise for Colorado is Calvin Harris. Otherwise, Atencio is a go. Maybe some significant Manyoma minutes???

The Starting XI will the first look into the mentality of Chris Armas heading for the match. Then, how long Bouanga and Son play (and if they play together) is the next biggest factor. Finally, it’s on the players. Will they feel like being great tomorrow? Enjoy the calm before the storm!

It looked like almost full participation in training. The exceptions are Kimani Stewart-Baynes (who is out for the season but still doing more and more side work) and Wayne Frederick (who looks to be still with his national team).

It’s a rare occasion to this team down. Today was not one of those days. One could even make an argument that they were even more upbeat than normal. It feels like a team that’s aware that they just have one shot, but they don’t feel like they will miss.

Last training of the regular season. Last one of the season…?

Training tomorrow will be interesting to see. The availability report will be interesting to see for both teams. More importantly, who LAFC plays, and for how long, is going to be the driving force of this match

As much as I think Manyoma should be starting at this point, this is not the match for his first start. HOWEVER, I think you bring him in at 60 for Yapi.

If Atencio is not yet fit, which we’ll see tomorrow, you go with Ronan. He’s looked fantastic in training.

Noah Cobb is back from Chile. We don’t know what formation Armas is going to use but I think a 3-4-3 gives them their best chance this weekend with this XI

Steffen
Holding-Maxsø-Cobb
Santos-Bassett-Atencio-Cannon
Aaronson-Navarro-Yapi

Throughout all of this confusion
I hope I somehow get to you
I practiced all the things I'd say
To tell you how I feel
And when I finally get my chance
It all seems so surreal

12 years ago. The day my life would change forever. Sahmar Kelly was born. I think most parents wish their kids takes their best traits and be better. I’m biased but I can also honestly say Sahmar is the very best of me. Happy Birthday, Sam! You are truly amazing!

Holy hell.

FC Dallas loses against LA Galaxy and loses their two strikers for decision day against Vancouver to suspension. That means with Real Salt Lake loss tonight, San Jose enters the fray for their decision day matchup against Austin FC.

Four teams for two spots.
