I read books, watch sports and enjoy a good bourbon.

Love Always Wins, but sometimes it takes a while.
Really weird with City already out of the playoffs. The last several years the roster contract announcements come out right away. This year we still have almost 3 weeks before they are due to the league office. So the wait continues.

Every once in a while I looks at the standings in the Western Conference and remember that Orlando City has the Galaxy first round pick this off-season because the Galaxy wanted an international slot. And I laugh heartily.

The refereeing is horrible in this game.

This is a Leagues Cup game not an MLS game. MLS technically not running the show.
This would be simultaneously hilarious and embarrassing for the league, if it actually cared - which it certainly doesn't.

Never wonder why the average soccer fan in this country doesn't give a second thought to the MLS.
Inter Miami head coach Javier Mascherano — who is sitting in the stands after a red card — talking on the phone to his assistant coach Lucas Rodriguez Pagano.

Muriel needs to come off at the half.

Cesar is only 24. How about that?

That's different

Are Ivan Angulo and Alvaro Angulo related? Both born in the same town in Columbia wearing #77 it seems like they would have to be, but I have never heard that they are.

Huge win tonight for the boys in Purple. Huge.

Freeman being picked for PKs was something of a surprise to me. He has played RB every minute in the Gold Cup. Though he has mostly been tasked with defensive duties, Poch seems to trust the 20 year old. Whatever happens next year at the WC, Freeman has made an impression.

That's our Freeman!
June 30, 2025 at 1:15 AM
Nice to see Freeman taking a more attacking role this game. Interested to see what he can do.

I hate Miazga with a passion.

Let's all remember that there is a reason Schlegel starts over Brekalo at CB. He looks a lot better at LB.
June 26, 2025 at 2:18 AM
Angulo seems to keep getting worse on attack.
June 26, 2025 at 1:25 AM
Papi Special!
June 15, 2025 at 3:35 AM
She really had to dig deep to double down. And maybe she tripled down. Truly horrific.
Against all odds, Joni Ernst has made it worse

Cesar!

This administration is making us sicker.
This is absolutely terrible news.

With the shifting regulatory climate (i.e., antivax ratfuckery), Moderna has withdrawn their application for their eagerly anticipated COVID-flu combo vaccine. This vaccine offered better protection than getting each shot separately.

Congrats to Alex Freeman to seemingly make the Gold Cup squad!

On the downside, we will be missing him and presumably a few others for a chunk of the season coming up.

Not upset about the result. Upset that we burned more minutes on our starters when we have three more games in a row on short rest. We are obviously already on heavy legs.
May 22, 2025 at 1:40 AM
Wow. This is a far stronger lineup than I expected. Papi going for the Cup. Has to mean heavy rotation for Portland game, right? Rest assured to come sometime.
Starting strong 💪
May 21, 2025 at 10:46 PM
Really wondering how Orlando City lines up Wednesday night against Nashville. Seems like a lot of rotation is necessary. On attack Enriqu and Dunca seem like locks to start, and maybe Caraballo. Seems like Freeman and the two CMs could use a break,but DD can only play one position.

Really terrific game by Schlegel tonight.
