CapsOffside on the ol' twitter. I like soccer shirts, playing soccer, watching soccer, coaching soccer, baking, eating, reading.

Dear commentators and pundits:

The posts and crossbar don't prevent goals. A team or keeper aren't saved by the woodwork.

Who needs a "tactical hoodie"?

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 6h

I think they fit pretty true to size, not tight.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 8h

I have the yellow and love it.

Streets are still closed off in front of the Portland ICE facility at 8:30pm. Protesters have gathered on a side street. Dance party in progress.

The book or movie?

The Bourne Ultimatum gets pretty dumb, but is still quite fun and satisfying.

TSN changed their Live webpage again. No idea where TSN+ has gone.

Is there a worse online streaming platform? I don't think so.

That does not seem worthy if a red:

A real joy to watch.

BREAKING: Columbus Crew midfielder and MLS legend Darlington Nagbe is retiring after the 2025 MLS season, per sources.

Nagbe, 35, is a four-time MLS Cup winner (2015, 2018, 2020, 2023) with three clubs (Portland, Atlanta, Columbus).

One of MLS's best-ever midfielders 👏

Every hockey fan who watched in the 90s shudders.

There are examples in every major sport of teams figuring out an analytically smart way to play that makes the game worse, this might be ours

262 - There've been 262 long-throws into the opposition penalty area in the Premier League this season, already 45% of the total for the entirety of last season (578). Delap.

It's not often I recommend it. It can feel like a slog in the opening pages. But when you get into the rhythm of it, and start to see the narrative form, it's almost exhilarating.

If you ever want a wild reading experience, you should try Ducks, Newburyport.

It is 1100 pages of preposterous storytelling through endless, repetitive thoughts of a stay-at-home mom.

It gets very trance-like.

This is what twitter was like in 2012.

Neto and Isak getting told to fuck off with the stupid diving is nice to see.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 4d

Never tried. But I'm interested in big books.

For Mark Langdon:

According to a quick search, it looks like Haaland played against the three Monaco defenders a total of five times while in the Premier League: Dier and Salisu each twice, Kehrer once.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 5d

Yah!

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 6d

And isn't Matheson still very much involved?

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 6d

Dear fubo: Your search function sucks donkey balls.

Just a few hours ago two teams with Vancouver in their name played a soccer game. I watched the first half on fubo. I would like to watch the second half.

Apparently it doesn't exist.

Brenton @brentonwalters.bsky.social · 6d

You looked great on tv.

@footballramble.bsky.social Just as an fyi, I really dislike that I get gambling ads in Canada.

At least they aren't Pete mispronouncing Ontario, though.

How bout we spend some money investing in making Canadians lives better there Mark? Massive public transit infrastructure. Free high speed internet for everyone. A national power grid. Housing!!!!
Puny tax cuts for the middle class is so unimaginative and regressive. Do better elbow guy.

Mark Carney @mark-carney.bsky.social · 7d

3 months ago today, Canada’s new government cut taxes for the middle class.

With our tax-cut, 22 million Canadians have been keeping more of their hard-earned paycheques.

Oh yah. I think I've given up on that.

Thunder Bay and Saskatoon, I guess, but not many people in those big gaps.
