Some thoughts on the MLS calendar switch and the state of Portland's roster entering the offseason. #RCTID
Thinking about "what ifs" is very stupid, but I'm gonna briefly indulge. If Carballo didn't tear his ACL, I think he would've earned a permanent move. #RCTID

In here we have a look at a Dallas side that needs a TARDIS and a Portland side that I'm having a tough time feeling positive about (not enough POWER).

I have a potentially hot take: I do not think the Columbus Crew manager position is a top job in MLS. Definitely upper half, but not in the top 5. Very fascinated to see who gets it. I heard Caleb Porter is available.

Hearing rumors of some poor body language after a blowout playoff loss at home? That has surely never happened before.

It's unreal how quickly this game went to shit. And all of the blame goes towards the jackass that got sent off right out of halftime. #WBA

Mowatt's pressure forces Coventry to recycle, and Johnston deserves a second assist for making the tackle to spring the direct attack. Heggebø made the near post run and DID THE DAMN THING GET IN #WBA

Friday Stat Dump: MLS 2025 Ball-winning Action leaders.
Back in June, I wrote about the value of recovery actions in a FSD thread and for Backheeled.
In short, I demonstrated a solid positive correlation between recovery differential and goal differential.

Does winning duels lead to winning MLS games? Finding a defensive stat that really matters
We found the real “50-50 balls”, the ones every soccer player on the planet was told to win growing up.

Schedule thoughts will be saved for an upcoming article. However, I like the idea to take the entire World Cup off. Biggest thing I noticed: 5 of their final 8 games are on the road. #RCTID

Any one of these incidents should be adequate cause for termination. Scratch that: a league-enforced ban.
NEW: Ernst Tanner has built a powerhouse at the Philadelphia Union.
But my @us.theguardian.com investigation has shown wide-ranging allegations of misbehavior throughout his 7-year tenure.
Tanner denies the allegations, and was investigated by MLS this year.

MLS executive who built a powerhouse faced allegations of sexist, racist and homophobic behavior

Looks like it's going to be a big offseason for teams that need a starting goalkeeper. Crepeau, Coronel, Willis and Sean Johnson are all free agents.

Was able to import my save into FM26. WHY DOES IT TAKE 10 CLICKS TO ACCOMPLISH A TASK I'D ONLY NEED ONE CLICK FOR IN 24?
Logged into my computer this morning with the full intent to buy FM24 before it left Game Pass. Yesterday was the last day to do so. Gutted.
