Tonight I heard Noah Kahan accurately hold the US soccer system to account that we’ll never win a men’s World Cup as long as we rely on pay-to-play academies

So @bostonlegacyfc.com just signed BC's Sophia Lowenberg — also the scorer of arguably the best goal scored so far for the @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social women's team. One of the top 5 goals I saw live this year, no joke.

FIFA opened the volunteer application portal.
FIFA gets: 48-64 hours of free labor
Volunteer gets: a shirt, a certificate, and (presumably mediocre) food
At minimum wage around Gillette Stadium, that's $720-960 of labor.
