If ever there was a place that needed to put together an amateur side and qualify for the Open Cup

💯 Interesting clubs will great fans. It’s fun

Currently showing Benfica/Real on the Dortmund/Atalanta channel. Criminal to force people to watch Real Madrid against their will.

I'm more interested in German football as a whole and less the national team/Bayern, so I'm hoping it gets into some of the club/roots of German football. But it'll be interesting regardless, and I needed a third book to get a discount 😀

Picture of three books. “The Detroit Athletic Club: 1887-2001” by Kenneth H Voyles & John A Bluth. “Das Reboot: How German Soccer Reinvented Itself & Conquered the World” by Raphael Honigstein. “‘Dirty Northern B*st*rds!’ And Other Tales From the Terraces: The Story of Britain’s Football Chants” by Tim Marshall

Another raid on discounted books. I need a bigger bookshelf

Were you there when they were filming the movie in Campus Martius? I took a picture of empty director chairs from a distance and some intern came over hassle me lol Don't even remember what movie it was.

He was shorter than I expected.

I worked in the building formerly known as Compuware in downtown Detroit. One time I was on the elevators by myself and in walks Dan Gilbert. Just nodded hello. Different floors obvs. Another time I went through the security gates and walked out to the lobby right next to Mitch Albom.

Screenshot of Instagram story from Athletico Madris and Antoine Griezmann of a close of Griezmann in a warmup with half closed eyes and a caption saying "I'm addicted to 'One Piece'"

Screenshot of Barcelona at Girona for a LaLiga match, a Girona player is dribbling towards the corner flag with a Barcelona player pressing him. All along the sideboards is advertisements for Crunchyroll, the anime streaming service. The Crunchyroll logo in black on a bright orange background.

Nerds of the world, unite

Credit to how good he was that I enjoyed watching him play even though he always played for clubs that I didn’t like.

So the all star game is just over already?

I’m sure he’s a nice and sharp guy, but Gyökeres has big dumb jock energy

So it’s winter cricket then

a man in a plaid shirt and tie is saying ok . cool . ALT: a man in a plaid shirt and tie is saying ok . cool .

“Tim Robinson is the referee in this match”

CBS sports/Paramount+ apps are such a terrible ecosystem and user experience. Amazing really.

Works surprisingly well

They came intending to use ALL the slaps

L*zio supporters boycotting actually improves the atmosphere ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Instagram post from the official Nottingham Forest account celebrating Sean Dyche being nominated for Premier League manager of the month for January, posted February 5th

Algorithmic feeds do serve up a laugh every now and again, like this instagram post I just saw.

Multicast is cool because you can watch more than one club you like lose at the same time

I’m down. But can @casmudde.bsky.social guest lecture?

Non Americans in the files: I’m stepping down before the real trouble hits
Americans in the files: circle the wagons! Hold on like grim death!

I need to order mine. I wonder if folks at the club notices all the orders from the same area?

Announcer: “this is a very young side. Only a couple players in the lineup that were born in the 90s”
Me: *crumbles to dust*

Just got a fundraising email from Gavin Newsom. unsubscribe/gtfoh

Nice that there’s at least one Newcastle doing well

With increasing desperation, emails from US Soccer attempt to get people excited about the upcoming World Cup.

Sure, I’ll be the next Nottingham Forest manager. Why not?

Pearl Jam was my first though when I wrote this post lol

Working multiple jobs might just be impacting your work/life balance
