@yaya I've never felt so old as I felt when I was looking up what fuckaas meant. Time has passed me by.

I’m here #fuckaas.

I’ve BEEN here for a couple years.

This is a longshot but I'm wondering if anyone in the #covid aware or covid research communities has ever come across this situation: Someone I know has an extreme immunological reaction to exposure to SARS-CoV-2. They know this because they have access to lab tests and they display sky-high […]

@yaya Fantastic. I'd also recommend Robert Andrew Powell's "This Love is Not For Cowards," about the now-defunct Indios club from Juárez, Mexico. The author followed the team during their only season in the top flight, which was happening at the same time […]

@yaya If you ever want to delve deep into the history of the game, David Goldblatt's "The Ball is Round" is the gold standard.

He wrote a follow-up called "The Age of Football" that covers everything that happened since the publication of his first book.

If anyone is going to New York Comic Con this weekend, swing by the magazine I work for, The Pop Insider. We'll be giving away tons of great stuff for FREE all weekend.

And if you see a guy in a Red Bulls or Gotham FC cap, that's me, say hi!

Here's a little video of what we did last year […]

Just got my official letter for the fellowship to New Zealand! And I have a possible lead on a local farm sitter, but nothing is set yet.

So I'm just going to put this out onto the Fediverse again, in case someone who knows how take care of goats in Real Canadian Winter (down to -40C temps) […]

Darlington Nagbe can't retire.

If he's retiring, that means I'm REALLY old.

Apparently theres a new wave of people joining mastodon, and with them a new wave of self-appointed cops "welcoming" them with long lists of mostly fictitious "rules" they need to follow.

This is a social media platform, with many of different ways to use it. It's fine. Mostly, just try to be […]

Canceled Paramount+. Sad to do it, as the Paramount/CBS team really built an exceptional platter of soccer offerings and spent the money on their studio shows, all access, whiparounds, etc.

But it wasn't enough for me to look the other way when it came to the company's utter capitulation to the […]

If you're #newhere on Mastodon and you're a soccer/football fan, I recommend following a number of hashtags, most notably, #fedifc and #mastodonfc

Following hashtags is a great way to meet like-minded people. If you follow a particular hashtag, anyone who uses it will show up in your home feed […]

@yaya Awesome. We have a small but vibrant football/soccer community on Mastodon. You've come to the right place.

Bill Reese @reesecommabill.gardenstate.social.ap.brid.gy · 3d

@yaya A lot of us use #fedifc as well. That's what I generally use.

If you aren't following those two hashtags already, you should.

Nobody has asked yet, but I would love to do a project where I make an entire team of brick soccer figures.

This would be great for a youth soccer club's end-of-season party. Each kid could get a figure of themselves with their name and number on the back […]

Congratulations to the Philadelphia Union, winners of the 2025 MLS Supporters Shield. Especially Bradley Carnell, who New York should have never let go.

What figures should I make next?

You tell me and I'll make it happen.

If enough people want a particular team, I'll make a whole batch. Otherwise, I can always do a custom job.

Just one rule: No Fash Clubs.

Sounders figures, Whitecaps figures, did you all think I forgot about the TIMBERS?

Hell no!

New to the Etsy shop, the 2025 Portland Timbers home jersey. I tried a spiral infill pattern on the shirt which I think looks really cool.

Get yours today […]

Dortmund/Leipzig in the early match, Chelsea/Liverpool in the midday match.

Good thing I cleared my Saturday schedule and didn't schedule a big playdate with my son and his camp friend right in the middle of it!

Friday nights are for Liga MX!

Of course, none of the teams playing tonight has a mini brick figure in my Etsy store, but Club América, Pumas, and Toluca do!
