WILDLY good management and officiating by Guido Gonzalez Jr, Alan Kelly, and co. for the #TST 7v7 final. There’s a clear trust from the players, and the game moves on from simple fouls quickly…which doesn’t always happen, especially in small-sided games!

Finally figured out how to log back into my Xitter account, and I’m gonna follow through on my original idea to import some of the more important ones onto here…so here’s a thread of the last 5 years over there:

There are a bunch of scriptures that are exhortations to be different— to be a holy people, set apart. They feel heavier than they usually do…when just surviving feels like it takes everything, being set apart feels like a bridge too far.

Also, Diego looks like Zorro and I unironically love it and if you don’t, too, you’re wrong. #RSL #MoonBoy

Do I love that Ajago lost the ball in 77’? I do not. Do I love that his reaction was to spring into our penalty area and help our back line win the ball back? I very much do. #RSL #DaleReal #CONCACAF

I know it’s apples and oranges, but I gotta say how discouraging it is so see an expansion team look so much better against the MLS cup champions than #RSL did against the wooden spoon holders.

Moon Boy is SO good. Loved the spots he was popping up on, the hustle, the leadership. For most of the rest, I’m hoping an incomplete and rotated roster is playing a big role for #RSL. Rough night, but it’s a long season.

Man, playing against Chicho is so much less fun than playing with him. #RSL

Catching a little bit of the #RSL preseason match vs #NYRB. Forgot how good the Ojeda/Eneli partnership can be— hope Emeka gets the armband sometime this year!

KNOW YOUR RIGHTS.

With mass deportations starting today across the country, it is vitally important - for both citizens and non-citizens - to know your rights.

You have the right to remain silent. Assert it. You have the right to a lawyer. Ask for one.

I knew I’d be pulling for the Eastern conference champion before yesterday…as an #RSL fan, I feel there’s a contractual obligation to enthusiastically hate on both the Sounders and the Galaxy. But I’m glad LA won— I think they and RBNY make for a fun, high intensity shootout in the #MLS final.

I originally used my X account mostly as a trove of the beautiful things I’d hear from colleagues and professors in seminary (and to grouse about soccer). When I came over here, I sort of lost my login credentials…I haven’t had the heart to go through the process to retrieve those precious insights.
