“you’ll have to tie me down. tie me up.” sounds like one of the requests that Keith Urban couldn’t handle, tbh

Currently both Burkina Faso and Cameroon sit in 2nd in their groups and could go to the 2nd round of qualifying, a playoff to go to the inter-confederation playoffs. It’s possible Minoungou and Nouhou face off with a chance at the World Cup on the line next month

He should have had an assist, but his teammate was a little wasteful (and still should have earned a corner) with about 30 seconds left. Burkina Faso still win 1-0, moving a step closer to finishing as one of the 4 best 2nd place teams with a chance at a World Cup playoff

“I don’t know if there’s a club in the world that doesn’t know who he is.

“Anyone who’s got analytics, he’s triggered and kind of set off the red alarms.”

Obed Vargas' path from distant Alaska to world-class midfield prospect is even more amazing than it sounds:

Not sure why I thought they’d face Spain, it looks like they’ll face the winner of Argentina-Nigeria, which is today at 12:30.

Obed Vargas went 90 again as Mexico beat the hosts Chile 4-1 in the u20 World Cup round of 16. They advance and face Spain in the QFs on October 11.

The strength of pineapple on a pizza is that - especially on a cooked tomato sauce where umami, garlic and herbs and spices are the most pronounced flavor - you get sour, tangy and sweet to help round out and enhance the other flavors on the pizza.

Pineapple should be a gateway fruit on pizza, imo

This is the third time a Sounders player has topped this list. Vargas joins Fredy Montero (2010) and DeAndre Yedlin (2014), who both won when it was 24 under 24.

Obed Vargas is officially named the top player in MLS’s 22-under-22 class.

Two months later, on July 12, the couple were in the area of Bristol, Conn., staying at a hotel. Hill had been yelling at Vaccaro all day because "she was not doing what he wanted her to do," the document said. Inside their hotel room, with some of Hill's other children and family waiting in the lobby, Vaccaro told Hill that she didn't want to go out because she was pregnant and didn't feel well. Hill responded by picking up Vaccaro's phone and throwing it at her face. He then "threw a punch and tried to hit her pregnant stomach, but she deflected it," the document said. Hill also "ripped at her hair and pulled some hair out, then grabbed her purse and flung it across the room," the record said.

Vaccaro was very far along in her pregnancy in November of 2024, when the couple along with some family were at their Sunny Isles Beach, Fla., condominium getting ready to leave for a Dolphins game. Hill got angry with Vaccaro while they were in the bedroom, with the rest of their family in the living area, and spat in her face, the document said. She gave birth to their daughter the next day.

I had been focused on defenders and CMS, so I hadn’t thought about Seba Gomez, but him getting a call would be cool and fun. I’m high on him for the future, and this could be a good chance to see him in a relatively low-pressure situation with the first team.

Jeremiah Oshan @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com · 1d

Schmetzer said they are discussing options for call-ups from defiance. Leo Burney, tino Lopez, Peter Kingston, seba Gomez and Yu Tsukanome all trained with first team today. All but Tsukanome, who would require international spot, likely in consideration.

Now, I know you kids are obsessed with this new Taylor Swift song Wood. Your parents would probably get upset with me if I told you what is about...however, have you consider the most precious wood of all time?

That's right, the cross. That carpenter who died for your sins.

the deeply ingrained need of USSF to inexplicably flex on MLS teams in general and the Sounders in particular deserves to be studied.

Jeremiah Oshan @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com · 2d

Not sure what happened but I guess US Soccer decided it was more important for Snyder Brunell to fly to Europe and play in a couple friendlies in a non-world Cup age group than play meaningful MLS minutes.

as has been noticed, not only are they presumably the embodiment of evil the eye of Sauron atop Barad-dûr, but they are also using “King of Cascadia” as a stand in for “the Lord of the Rings” which IS Sauron.

How have they not done a tifo with them as Emperor Palpatine or Darth Vader or something?

the softness of some fouls elsewhere on the field later in the game really makes the no-call on the corner stand out. Nouhou gets called for two fouls on Velde that, sure, they’re fouls, can’t really argue that, but it’s wild that Jordan’s penalty shout doesn’t get any sort of review
