Dear commentators and pundits:

The posts and crossbar don't prevent goals. A team or keeper aren't saved by the woodwork.

He really does. And yet I get so frustrated with him and wish we had someone different.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 9h

Oh so you're a proper fitba man now.

I don't think he had a good game.

In the moment, soccer players are not smart. "How is that a foul?" asks Sessegnon after a very, very clear foul on Saka.

It's okay, they're jacked up on adrenaline, their brains aren't working.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 13h

Not sure it's a foul but it's certainly not Cuenca "standing his ground" as the commentator said.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 13h

Timber is having an off game, Trossard, Eze both gave the ball away too much in the first half. Gabriel looks shaky. Rice looks middling. Gonna need a moment of magic if this keeps up.

I can't argue with that #analysis.

I'm just such a huge fan of dingers. #Dingers

This is refreshingly honest from Dos Santos.

Does he deserve another shot at coaching in the CanPL? Maybe.

Phil Dos Santos on his future with Valour:

"It's a very fair question," he said, saying he has the passion and commitment to his job. "That's something that I'm gonna have to reflect upon. There's moments where sometimes cycles are meant to end."

I keep seeing things about Paramore. I must have missed their popularity, because every song I've heard is annoying.

Mr Dinkins would you please be my mayor?
You'd be doin' us a really big favour

amazing opening

You sit, according to the polls, on the cusp of a historic political victory. You would be the youngest mayor in a century. You’d be New York City’s first Muslim mayor. You’d be its first democratic socialist mayor.

I wouldn’t actually be the first democratic socialist mayor.

Who would it be?

David Dinkins was a member of D.S.A., he identified also as a democratic socialist.

Thank you for the correction.

Very welcome.

Great work by Philippe and Josimar. Get these predatory frauds out of football.

Philippe Auclair @philippeauclair.bsky.social · 2d

Please allow @josimarfootball.bsky.social, @pbsportswriter.bsky.social and myself a minute of self-congratulation. We wrote a total of 39 articles on 777 Partners' house of cards. It was time well spent.

If I offered you these options for which pass this professional soccer player chose, 1 through WTF, which do you think he chose?

Let me remind you that this man is paid money to play this sport.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 7d

This is amazing.
