Going through my grandma's computer for files to pass on to my mom (pictures, documents, etc.).

For some reason, she had an internet shortcut to the Wikipedia page for Google+. And while I guess it could be because it was a Wikipedia link in general... why Google+?

Adding to my list of IRL side quests, I covered one of the semifinals of the National Amateur Cup yesterday! And boy howdy was it a humdinger of a match.

Tormenta kept their USL2 team after turning pro though. As far as I've understood, that won't be the case for Sarasota or Fort Wayne.

The recent teams that have moved to pro after qualifying and have fielded both pro and amateur teams in the ensuing USOC (Irvine Zeta 2024, Club de Lyon 2023) were local qualifiers and came in via NISA. My gut says USL isn't gonna operate that way when they have direct control.

I'd expect Sarasota Paradise and Fort Wayne FC to decline spots (or not be offered them at all by USL) as they're both moving to USL League One next year and would get a spot by default.

Me in 2025 and delayed, canceled, or re-routed flights, name a better combo.

Legitimately, well over half my flights this year have fallen into one of those buckets, it's getting really old.

Not-so-positive news regarding former Forward Madison goalkeeper Raiko Arozarena.

James Nalton @jdnalton.bsky.social · Jun 12

Cuban goalkeeper Raiko Arozarena didn't travel to Cuba for this week's key World Cup qualifier vs Bermuda, fearing he wouldn't be let back into the US where he plays for Las Vegas Lights. Cuba lost 2-1 and are now out of the World Cup. US policy affected the integrity of the tournament once again.

I guess it's fortunate that we're not to the level of Lexington fans wondering if it's worthwhile to kill five of their players to trigger a disaster draft

Should Lexington Sporting Club kill 5 of their players to trigger a disaster draft to improve their roster?

The USLC disaster draft is a contingency plan to be used when 5 or more players on a team have died or have been dismembered. In the draft, the...

My frustration with Forward Madison is reaching its tipping point. There need to be some changes, whether that's with players, tactics, or attitudes.

Some Forward Madison fan said sometime after the season opener loss in Naples, "I hope that by the end of May, Forward won't have lost another game and Omaha will be in last place," and the monkey's paw curled

If waiting for a bus at Boston Logan International Airport after 1:30 AM when you were never supposed to be there in the first place doesn't sound like a fresh enough hell, then may I suggest that, with a 20+ minute helping of the airport testing its alarm system?

I understand why teams do this, but it feels incredibly minor league and a slap in the face to fans who would be at every game but can't take off work on a midday afternoon.
