Agreed! My only complaints from the stadium were waiting so long for subs and not including Kolmanic. Our team played great and on paper outplayed the supposed "better side" in every way except the one stat that matters. We finish better, and we are lifting that cup.

This is one we were talking about this morning! I'd love to see CJ get 60 minutes and give Uzuni a rest. I just hope this game isn't too much for CJ!

Do we need to start keeping a bad penalty call table for the league? We'd be getting the supporters shield no doubt at this point!

Spoke to #AustinFC ’s CJ Fodrey. His gf lives in Missouri but did not travel across MO/KS state lines Sunday to witness CJ scoring his first MLS goal (a game-winner). She had a good reason. She (a college senior) was busy scoring her first collegiate goal Sunday (also a game-winner).

He has scored 5 goals, and every goal has been the game winner. The definition of clutch!

MLS Communications @mls-pr.bsky.social · Sep 10

Twenty-year-old midfielder Owen Wolff has had a breakout season as a clutch performer for Austin FC this year, recording the game-winning goal contribution in six of the club’s 11 wins this season.

Austin fans will accept recompense of:
-2 points;
-A public apology in stadium presented by Filip Dujic using his “however” catchphrase;
-The right to hurl tomatoes at the VAR official;

A Venezuelan, a Ghanaian, and a Brazilian connect to score a beautiful goal.

Don’t listen to the knuckle dragging, mouth breathers. This is what makes our sport, and our country, beautiful

Diversity now. Diversity forever.

Yes, this was the email yesterday. I don't think I'd been included in previous waves.

The chance to sub in for Stu during our next friendly for 30 minutes. Bonus points if it's against the Galaxy, so you get plenty of bruises from soccer balls and players!

I got the email for your beta test, but the Android link doesn't seem to open to anything. I just get an app cannot be found error. I'd love to join if I could!

That had to confuse your colleague so much. I have to know what they did with this information, if they could even fathom the greatness that is pollo verde.

Jorge Mas can pay for Messi to play for his team and his team alone, then.

Major League Soccer fans shouldn’t have to pay for Messi (in more ways than one) if he isn’t subject to the same rules.

Tom Bogert @tombogert.bsky.social · Jul 25

Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas on Lionel Messi's suspension when asked about contract talks:

“Lionel Messi is extremely upset. I’m hopeful it doesn’t have an impact long-term.

Will it have an impact on (Messi’s) perception on the league and its rules? No doubt.”

What an unserious team, can't even be bothered to understand the basic rules of the league they claim to be a part of.

Tom Bogert @tombogert.bsky.social · Jul 25

Inter Miami managing owner Jorge Mas on reaction of Messi/Alba of being suspended:

“The reaction was exactly as expected: Not positive...

They don’t understand the decision. They don’t understand why not attending an exhibition match leads directly to a suspension.”

Tom Bogert @tombogert.bsky.social · Jul 25

BREAKING: Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba will be suspended for Inter Miami's match against FC Cincinnati this weekend for skipping the MLS All-Star Game.

If he is threatening that Messi will leave after this year and MLS can finally actually focus on making soccer accessible and fair for everyone, I have one thing to say:

Don't tempt me with a good time.

I'd argue even as a western conference fan you should care. If we aren't fairly applying the rules, then we might as well have 38 friendlies followed by a crowning of Inter as MLS Cup champions. Fairness and consistency in rules is the only way sport works.
