My mother in law made her child aged nephew this birthday card and it can only be described as bone chilling

Terrifying painting of a woman(?) with spiked teeth, no pupils and a sharpened bonnet holding a too long balloon string with the words happy birthday written in cursive

thought it might just be a general directive for all of us. Like kick racism out of football or drink coca-cola

Vermont Green FC attracted the attention of the football world thanks to their club ethos, recent success, and a Bernie Sanders tifo. This weekend's Morning Star column.

Morning Star newspaper page with the headline "At the Berniebeu football embraces its socialist spirit."

Banner at the USL League Two final between Vermont Green and Ballard FC in Burlington, Vermont, featuring an image of Bernie Sanders and the words "Welcome to the Berniebeu". A play on words on Real Madrid's Bernabeu stadium.

One of my favourite articles to write, on a club I've wanted to write about for some time. A look at @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social ahead of their USL League Two final against Ballard FC. How a 'division four' club became the soccer team of the moment. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

With a second championship in sight and Bernie Sanders’ support, Vermont is the US soccer state of the moment

Vermont Green could cap an undefeated season in this weekend’s USL League Two title game, with overflow crowds expected once again

I think its unlikely to happen because UVM own it and their bastards to deal with. Otherwise I think this would be the right spot. My hope is that we get a stadium, move up to USL1, pro/rel kicks in and MLS becomes an afterthought to everyone while Vermont becomes the Cinderella story of US sports
