A friend who teaches theology shared with me a post about CS Lewis's Mere Christianity, which discusses foundational Christian logic across denominations. It reminded me of Dale's tweet below, and I wanted to share some thoughts here regarding modesty and respectability, which are often hot topics.

Powerful new tactical gambit just dropped: seizing the momentum by earning a red card so insane that your opponents are too confused and frightened to attack

each of these sentences completely unexpected+unpredictable
For the first time, David Moyes wins at Old Trafford as a visiting manager.

Everton went down to 10 players after Idrissa Gueye was sent off for slapping Michael Keane.

Manchester United were unable to reply after Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall scored for the visitors in the first half.

The switch to a July-May season for the #MLS seems sensible for many reasons, and I think this is an important one: MLS matches are played in significantly higher temperatures compared to the top 🇪🇺 leagues.

Also, judging by those recent CPL highlights, snow football looks awesome, bring it on

The TLDR is that the Japanese summer acts as a brick wall for players who have already been playing for 4 months: easier to get fatigued, get injured, slow down. Whereas if you’re starting in August, you’re hopefully doing so fresh and able to play better, then you ride that into the fall/winter.

I’ve definitely posted about it - they have some really interesting data on high-intensity plays and how they really nosedive in Japan over the summer vs. steadily rise in Europe over the course of the season.

MLS owners are *expected* to vote on flipping to fall-spring calendar at Thursday's BOG meeting. Changes to competition format also expected.

Let's see if it actually comes to a vote, but implications are enormous.

this was prob my biggest issue with Austin’s approach in the 2nd half. there’s no losing or drawing gracefully in a cup final, bring out some dark arts
We also lacked a fair bit of savvy/gamesmanship in handling an easily manipulated ref -- on multiple plays our guys would ride fouls and keep playing. That's a great, honest way to play. But one team was better at influencing the ref to their advantage than the other. That team won the final.
