🇸🇷 Suriname had a rich soccer history cut short by tragedy & turmoil.

Now, Dutch-Surinamese players are looking to carry on the legacy of the players that came before them - becoming local heroes in the process.

My piece from Paramaribo for @espn.com: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Dutch-born players are making Suriname's World Cup dreams a reality

Thanks to a recent change in FIFA rules, Suriname is drawing on its Dutch lineage to fuel a fight for a place in the 2026 World Cup.

Cape Verde are going to the World Cup.

The planning to ensure this happened, the diaspora, the distances people travelled to be there, the celebrations & the life-affirming joy.

All of that & more in my piece from an incredible few days in Praia.

Allow all amateur clubs, regardless of league, to enter Open Cup qualifying is one of the best things to happen to the tournament in a good long while.

(now bring back the Dewar Cup trophy design and make every pro club first team participate again)

Oh hey it's the FXE Futbol Lockhart revamp stadium design with extra steps

(this is really cool though good for (the) Miami FC, nice to see a use of the old Cleveland MLB spring training complex land that never got properly used after Andrew)

I'm sure I've watched far too many hired gun movies & shows (still very enamored with "The Day of the Jackal" series on Peacock, watch it), but that sure appears initially like a pretty professional hit...

If you just wanna shitpost, or perhaps troll the sitting head of state of the most powerful country in the world, I say go ahead, fire up a clanker and AI-away.

But if you want a logo, ad, poster, stadium rendering (*cough*cascades*cough*), flag, etc, do yourself a favor and hire a human.

Thanks.
