Getting in the weeds on #stlcitysc
I like sports and jokes. I don’t claim any teams outside STL, most closely follow world soccer (top 5 leagues, MLS, USNTs, DIII) and NBA. Play FPL, Fantasy🏀, ⚽️🏐irl

Realizing that the FBRef thing is happening because bookies don't want their clients to have access to tools that help them beat the lines is pretty fucking grim

Looks like FIFA announced Opta as their official betting data partner last week…

Utterly disastrous news for public access to soccer data and statistics.

FBRef was not only a brilliant resource generally, it made so much WoSo data available that couldn’t be found elsewhere. Absolutely gutting for fans, data nerds, and those of us who feel these things shouldn’t merely be the preserve of people with lots of money

On the subject of World Cup boycotts, this is a story which ought to be much better known: why African countries decided not to compete for a place at the 1966 tournament. One of Fifa's most shameful moments, which hardly ever gets a mention.

How Africa boycotted the 1966 World Cup
The BBC's Piers Edwards explains the little-known story behind the African boycott to the 1966 World Cup, the only World Cup in history to have been snubbed by an entire continent.

Is #stlcitysc going to have the cheapest CB corps in MLS this year? Baumgartl the highest salary at the moment at $650k. Fall $460k, Hiebert $269k, Yaro somewhere near last year’s $200k, some amount of JGR’s $280k, Orozco and likely Lillington on the reserve minimum. We have to add at the top.

Probably a stretch, as Damet worked 1 camp with Mikey Varas and the 🇺🇸U20s, but 🤷‍♂️

Some players below Yoann Damet has worked with in no order. I’m curious how much Wray relies on people he’s worked with when it comes to players, and that question can be extended to Damet’s “network.” Will either want to reconnect with a former player, or is that familiarity a sell for players?

The Thunder should send Ajay Mitchell to Minnesota just to make things more fun for everyone
