Imagine needing to take a month off of work to play in the Club World Cup. For Auckland City FC as the only amateur side in the tournament, it's a reality and next up they'll be looking to square off against Harry Kane and Bayern Munich

Ready to discover new shortcuts

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · 5d

Today I learned that Macs have a keyboard shortcut to mirror all your displays... Unfortunately I found that out via my cat wanting to help with my work and walk across the keyboard 😅

Absolutely gonna be a work in progress but what I think is cool is they haven't come close to scratching their potential under Frank but with defensive improvement, they also aren't losing while working this stuff out which is gonna pay major dividends down the road

Tim Weah definitely wasn't out of place on the pitch with Real Madrid today

Nick Sirianni threw this challenge flag 31.415 mph, per Next Gen Stats.

The flag travelled 36.329 air yards, the furthest thrown flag since 2016.

The flag reached the end zone in 1.712 seconds, resulting in a 73.617% chance of the flag being noticed.

Oh No He Didn't @ohnohedidnt24.bsky.social · 28d

The way Nick threw this flag man lol

Some matched that I'm keeping an eye on the weekend starting with Leverkusen vs Frankfurt at home in just under an hour

This may have been a strange USMNT camp but that doesn't mean players didn't help their cases of making the World Cup squad

Absolutely dying at the Lamar Jackson MVP chants in Buffalo. Ravens fans showing up for primetime

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 6

I need someone to dub the goal that the USMNT just gave up with circus music

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 5

I thought I was done with that for a little after writing about Suarez but noooo

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 5

Walking up to the opposing QB and spitting on him six seconds into the game is actually unreal stupidity from Jalen Carter

Absolutely this. For growth going forward, this is the right move for Tottenham but absolutely have to give Daniel Levy credit for getting the club to where it is now

Ryan Rosenblatt @ryanrosenblatt.bsky.social · Sep 4

*whisper* Daniel Levy is one of the best chairmen in the history of the Premier League

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 4

Finally decompressed enough to unpack from Germany and oof

Outside of Philly that's just about what's happening 😂

In flight WiFi didn't work 🥲, did I miss anything lol

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 1

Torn between the want to keep up with this bonkers day even if it requires buying in flight wifi and the curiosity to go full send on a deadline day where I only know what happened live in the first few hours and the last few hours

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 1

For sure, I get that the international break offers time but the new choice also lost a preseason to prep

Expectations are sky high at Leverkusen even when a step back should've been expected so whoever steps in now could be doomed too

The ten Hag thing is weird because unless he did something egregious this week and absolutely lost the locker room (he may have) if you thought he was the right man during the summer (I don't believe he was), two games is far too short but now it's gonna be critical to see who the next guy is

Someone has texting sounds on while sending quite a few messages at the airport and I'm in a circle of hell between this and the transfer market exploding

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Sep 1

Welp, EtH won't be answering those questions

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Aug 31

It's going quite well at Leverkusen with one point through two matches and even a Malik Tillman debut goal couldn't start the bleeding

www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

USMNT's Malik Tillman scored in Bayer Leverkusen debut, but 3-3 draw leaves more questions than answers

Werder Bremen twice erased two-goal deficits to escape with a draw despite a red card

Three days of Bundesliga soccer comes to the most depressing end possible, the very limited choice international departures side of the airport where I'm stuck in a line that isn't moving to get coffee

Chuck Booth @chuckyeaa.bsky.social · Aug 31

Seeing that Guirassy's miss was shot at 69 km per hr is quite funny
