30 minutes into VANvLAFC I was complaining of playoff boredom. Since then, my cup overrunneth….

Absolutely mental

Amazingly fun!

Is roster size 23 again?

Realistically, how many new players do you think will make 2026 roster that were not in 2022 Squad?

-new coach
-difficult to measure competition
-mixed results

I, personally, think the USMNT was in better shape back when they were beating all the Concacaf teams rather than now when they are frequently losing to other Concacaf teams.

Not the best outing. But it’s gonna take some time and you can see some of the pieces coming together.

Not gonna lie. It warms my heart having a Brian White type up top. It’s been so long since we’ve had a traditional target STRIKER and the likes of McBride or Ching or Casey. Or even Altidore to an extent.

Home Depot center.

Shocked that Vanney started Reus. Bit of a defensive liability which isn’t great considering the fact he’s playing next to Puig. Maybe halftime sub?!? Even up 3-1.

found this months ago and have been dwelling on its implications ever since

Legit on the phone with a friend/user asking what’s the way that you type this thing?

Getting folks to write Bluesky instead of BlueSky is harder than 15 engineers trying to keep servers happy with 1m new users a day the last week

This should be me, bornstein, gringo Torres and Danny Szetela.

Do love me a starter pack.

Pepi still the guy. For someone who plays minimally at a big club in Netherlands, he continues to play confidently for club / country

If you ever listened to my podcast Orange Slices you’d know that I am 100 percent faster than Mark McKenzie

I honestly just like saying stuff now and knowing that some idiot isn’t rallying his keyboard warriors to attack me, my career, my family and somehow connect me to some media scam paid for by USSF.

If tonight’s fight doesn’t end up the way it’s supposed to end up… im calling @orlandocitysc.bsky.social to bring me out of retirement.

Anyone in USMNT pool that you think we should sunset? Either sunset from being a “core starter” or from pool itself?

lol. Pepi

I know we love Balogun but Pepsi continues to be on the best long term pathway for a true #9

Can I get a few opinions on Earthquakes and Bruce Arena?

Bruce will play young players but will he implement youth model? One of the best academy generations to date but none of the players have broken through.

$25+ million in potential.

This is actually me. I am nobody. But it is actually me. Can’t wait to talk soccer in a way that is good for my mental health(finally).

I’m here to probably solve all soccer problems. What can I start with?
