The president is falling asleep durring a White House cabinet meeting with each member praising him for his resilience. What are we doing America? This is so embarrassing.

FYI: the EXAMPLE of what a war crime is in the DoD Law of War manual is EXACTLY what Hegseth did. bsky.app/profile/jjin...
⚖️ DoD Law of War Manual, page 1075:
"For example, orders to fire upon the shipwrecked would be clearly illegal."

Kerkez owns the 2nd and 4th PSV goals. In 4th he’s overcommitted to attack and jogs back in recovery, forcing VVD into a zonal defense of counterattack. #LFC

Kerkez put on a master class in poor FB play v PSV. 2nd PSV goal was Kerkez never being ball side and goal side on Til in scoring sequence. He simply lacks EPL or UCL-grade speed. He overhits every insertion pass in attack, making it impossible for attack partner to cleanly handle ball. #LFC

Luna will get no credit for the second US goal, but his work rate and aggressiveness created it. @usmnt.ussoccer.com

Roldan manages to turn a quality ball from Arfsten into space at top of 18 into an easy save for PAR GK. He’s particularly adept at that…#usapar

Memo to Arfsten: allow me to introduce you to Miguel Almiron. He may be ending his career in MLS, but he had 23 goals for @newcastleunited.com. He can play. As you just learned. #usapar

When USMNT has to play Christian Roldan in central MF, you know our stock of central attacking MFs is thin.

Going 3-back to get more bodies into attack zone was a good idea, but it assumes your wing MFs are going to do their defensive jobs. Fory on first 2 and Antony on third did not do their jobs. It’s just that simple. If you don’t want it bad enough to work for it, you don’t go forward. #rctid

Fory had better get his head straight on getting into recovery or we’ll be down 3 soon…#rctid

Fory has put on a master class on how to NOT defend the wing in a 3-back setup. Gets beat ball watching on first goal, gets beat not busting back to cover far post on second goal. Those are high school-level defending mistakes. #rctid

That was impressive. At the hour mark, SAN was in charge of the match. Thorns used speed and technical skill to assert a bit of counterattack paired with pressure on ball after turnover to seize momentum. That’s what champions do. #baonpdx

Now Thorns have shifted defensive style to heavy pressure on wide balls. Smart - the easiest way to get hurt right now is to let crosses into 18 from wide. #baonpdx

In extra time, Thorns have upped their level of aggression and suddenly have SAN on back foot. Sign of a champion: finds the next gear when it’s needed. #baonpdx

Sophie is such a beast. Takes contact at full speed inside 18, yet uses an excellent touch to get free and another excellent touch to drop a dime on far post. Pure quality. #baonpdx

Coffey deserves the PK. She was playing ball and taken down by defender who wasn’t playing ball. An officiating gift for SAN. I get it, but an official needs to avoid such direct impact on a match. #baonpdx

A defender’s worst nightmare: Olivia Moultrie on the ball in space, driving. She gets those shoulders up and over the ball a la Gerrard and nothing but bad is going to happen for the defense. #baonpdx
