Watched two games tonight. One of them had a remarkable performance by a star forward in the face of some ludicrous officiating.

#VWFC’s Thomas Müller wants more people interested in the Whitecaps.

My latest @dailyhivevancouver.bsky.social including Ryan Gauld’s ramp up to playing more minutes on the pitch.

I am old enough to remember all those tight qualifiers in the 1990s.

It's good to see Ismaël Koné balling for Sassuolo since the September break, as he was excellent for the #CanMNT that window. Excited to see what he does now in October

In my latest the Breakdown, I looked at what Koné did well in that September window

I've gotten confirmation of this - Argentina vs. Puerto Rico is being relocated OUT of Chicago due to ongoing upheaval caused by ICE, National Guard.

Albiceleste will stay in Leo Messi's backyard (metaphorically) for both of this month's matches

Tim Hotze @thotze.bsky.social · 4d

Mailbox: Event promoters say that the friendly between Argentina and Puerto Rico for Oct 13 has been moved to Ft. Lauderdale for 10/14

No notice on socials or website from promoters or AFA.

Tickets remain on sale at pretty astronomical prices on Ticketmaster's website

Bradley Carnell has often said that the Union's success isn’t about him, and he did so again Saturday night.

But he also let his guard down for a moment, admitting he's motivated by being fired from St. Louis City last year:

Bradley Carnell gets to celebrate the Union’s success for himself, too

Winning the Supporters' Shield is redemption not just for players who didn't make the playoffs last year, but for a manager who was abruptly dismissed from his two previous head coaching jobs.

Chema Andrés was signed out of nowhere by VfB Stuttgart and early indications are that the Spaniard could be an absolute steal for the Swabians.

In Stuttgart where VfB is taking on Heidenheim.

Stuttgart will want to rebound from a tough game in Basel midweek. Heidenheim looking for back to back wins.

This should be a good little derby im Schwabenland.
