Ramsey got 0 pub for CoY, but I wouldn’t want any other in MLS. Love the feistiness tonight.
On to the silly season. Need a 10, ideally two of them. More MF depth, CB depth, maybe a GK.

Loons pressed better but finishing and creativity were what they were since August: no where to be found. And then DSC’s passing yips returned. 😵💫😬
One lapse on D (set up by Baird, doh!), Dreyer rocket, game over.
#MNUFC made a hell of run of it, but this ending was expected.

Good half from the Loons, aside from the attack. Yeboah still missing a step. Need some magic from Pereyra, Löd, Ant, someone.
Forgot Dynamo legend (is that a thing?) Baird was a thing. Varas needs a hug; look away from me. Lotta hotheads in SD, ref included.

I am currently reading bell hook's 2004 The Will To Change, showing how we all, especially men, suffer from patriarchy. What could our world look like without it?

This is one of the dumbest things in sports.
I’ve felt it, said it. FSeattle folks said the same shit last week.
But the posts & crossbar are part of the goal - ball goes in or goes out.
No one will remember LAFC’s 2nd ET xG (1.33 😂), few will care (it’s the conf semis..). #MNUFC

As Esau Lopez was asphyxiated for the first 17 minutes of his life on Earth, the atmosphere in the room remained serene, even ecstatic. Acoustic music crooned from a speaker in a modest two-bedroom apartment in a suburb of Pennsylvania. “You are a queen,” murmured one of three friends in the room.
Only Esau’s mother, Gabrielle Lopez, felt something was wrong. She was pushing hard, but her son would not be born. “Can you help [him] out?” she asked, as Esau crowned. “Baby is coming,” the friend replied. Four minutes later, Lopez asked again, “Can you grab [him]?” Another friend murmured, “Baby is safe.” Six minutes passed. Again, Lopez asked, “Can you grab [him]?” Continue reading...
