Laurel brings up real issues with covering the league which I honestly believe make it harder for fans to connect to #mls teams as deeply as they could and ultimately hold the league back.

Wrote something a little different during the break that I hope MLS PR considers, as national outlets keep decreasing coverage and now AI content is replacing writers. Someone had to say something before media access just gets worse. (Free post) www.patreon.com/posts/141166...

Talking Thanksgiving with #VWFC Coach Jesper Sørensen.

“I had Thanksgiving turkey for the first time and it was a great experience. It’s not a thing in Denmark. We had some potatoes and another Croatian dish. A little bit of a mix. Of course I want vegetables, I like vegetables.”

#VWFC captain Ryan Gauld was asked about a bit of a hobble when he got up after Nelson Pierre scored on Saturday.

“My knee’s fine. It’s just one of those ones. I’ve hobbled in a lot of games. It’s just the way the ball came back to me, a bit of an awkward position, no the knee is fine.”

#CanXNT’s Coach Casey Stoney asked about Quinn by JMO.

“We spoke about consistency of form and continuing that over several months. That is a conversation we’ve had and will be continuing with that conversation moving forward. The door is never closed for anybody.”

#CanWNT’s Casey Stoney just revealed that Kadeisha Buchanan had a set back in her recovery from her torn ACL.

Buchanan isn’t expected back anytime soon. Question was from @brylaura1.bsky.social

As someone whose time freelancing for MLSsoccer was a vital step in my career progression, and someone who generally gleans insight from the observations of others:

This sucks so hard.

MLS is using generative AI to write match recaps. Writers used to get paid freelance rates to do that. Hssssss.

#VWFC’s Thomas Müller speaking to @saritareports.bsky.social postgame.

“This Berhalter guy is like a machine.”

“I trust this team a lot and we will go for it. We go until the end. We get some good results away from home even when we are down.”

“Let’s keep going, let’s keep going, Sarita.”

Fun fact, #VWFC are 604 since Thomas Müller joined the Whitecaps.

Tampa Bay, native Tate Johnson returns to Florida to play in front of a large group of family and friends in Orlando.

Whitecaps win or draw moves the club past San Diego for top spot in the west.

Müller is pure entertainment on and off the pitch. Wish I’d caught more of this moment. He was having a fun back and forth with Har. It’s great to see him embracing the local media and building a relationship.

A bit of banter and light-hearted moment with #VWFC’s Thomas Müller who suggested that I could write for an English or German boulevard newspaper.😂

Danke.
