The Outfield @theoutfield.nyc · Feb 21

If you can’t win on talent, make your opponent beat themselves. That’s exactly Jansen did to Lazio in 2023. @treyfillmore.bsky.social breaks down the high-intensity press that broke Lazio’s spirit at the Stadio Olimpico.

Can Jansen do the same against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami tomorrow?

Giant Killer

In 2023, Pascal Jansen toppled a titan in Rome for his signature victory with AZ Alkmaar. Can he do the same in MLS at New York City?

I hate the first time you post these every year because it sets off an 'it follows' response in my head just waiting for the eventual last loss of the season to consume me 😭

as a reporter deep in the armpit of identical hell access myself, Laurel's words are important and resonant

the last graph really strikes to the core of the large misunderstanding by the league/teams - "Good or bad, the stories need to be told. Sports teams benefit simply from being talked about."

Laurel Pfahler @laurelpfahler.bsky.social · 2d

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...

I wrote hundreds of match recaps & edited hundreds more for this site back in the day. It’s not just MLS - I’m increasingly convinced soccer will “fail” because at this moment when U.S.-based fans love it more than ever, there is a rapidly shrinking media ecosystem covering the sport. We are screwed

Jeff Rueter @jeffrueter.bsky.social · 3d

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.

Chris Campbell @chriscampbell.theoutfield.nyc · 25d

My current Raúl Gustavo take is in the two games he’s started he’s had 3 free headers off of corners.

Not sure the rest of NYCFC has that many over the rest of the season
