The legend of this bumper sticker I saw the other day certainly lives on from the Chippewa on down

Fútbol is l̶i̶f̶e̶ a complicated societal construct that frequently creates intense internal emotional and moral conflicts far beyond what would be expected to emerge from a game involving kicking a ball

2032: WarnerParaFlixMount developing "The Replacements" sequel but this time it's soccer and based on a 2026 true story

The most important thing about the Sporting JAX stadium location announcement is more non-FL people will be aware of this interchange on I-295, I mean look at that thing man

...and when the organ meat inevitably gets gentrified into hipness like chicken wings, brisket, oxtail etc we'll move to the "Purdue™ cricket meal is very affordable source of protein!" stage of capitalism lol

Good luck lads, go get em ✊

Three tiers:

Quite Nice: Angel City, Orlando, Chicago

Meh: Everybody else including the black Boston shirt

Bad: The other 3 expansion shirts

Great Value Pumas UNAM

Sasha a pure ray of light amidst the general ick of what one of the other star Cats has been up to the last few days

The issues w/ the league office being disconnected from the owners & lack of revenue sharing harkens back to the issues that led to the NASL splintering off.

Not sure something like that is likely to happen again, but they definitely gotta streamline the structure as they move forward

It very well may not matter in the end since the USL system won't be connected to the established top dog in MLS - investors could still be flaky and fans may not turn up in any different numbers.

But worth a shot to try something different than business-as-usual

Sure but NCFC randomly moving between 3rd tier & 2nd tier (not based on anything happening on the field), with no path to anything beyond, isn't exactly the same thing.

A L1 club being able to win their way up to D1 and beyond may not end up making a difference, but it's a scenario we've never had.

This.

We played Laredo Heat in 2013 and 2014 and both times that drew bigger crowds than when we hosted an MLS team (I think it was Dallas) because the former were included in the STH package.

On similar note, kudos to FTLUTD for giving STHs free tickets to the upcoming friendly vs the Pride.

...which is "be thankful the rich dude who controls the club really enjoys this hobby, and hope their actual business does well enough so that they don't run out of money"

USL has a very professional veneer & does have some very well run clubs & good stories.

But at the end of the the day w/ limited upward mobility, disconnect from top league+Concacaf, minimal sponsor/media rights money, & limited ownership configurations, it's the same animal it's always been.

Easily my favorite family kitchen schedule whiteboard sports game logo to date

Dropping out within weeks of the season starting, and USL allowing it to happen, is unacceptable.

This is a situation where you use the annual league dues and expansion fee money they've been banking and operate the club for at least this upcoming season.

Spare me the storytelling on this, the sky blue & "sage" (mustard gold) striping look so out of place.

I'm all for spicing up a boring template, but why would you include colors not in your branding anywhere else on an inaugural primary kit?

Would look much better w/ red/yellow from crest as trim

(it's weird he doesn't have particular uniform, is the Revs guy a free agent now or something? lol)

If this madman comes to your town get that ass out to the show, 10/10 entertainment would recommend @marcrebillet.bsky.social

Based on the history, it'll most likely be a draw lol

Heh maybe, but as noted FTL looked the best they have in a good long while without her in the lineup so we'll see.

May have been the new coach going "yeah you're not in the plans really for the rest of this season" type situation

:(

I thought she was pretty good but then again didn't play this past week and that was the best game we've played in forever

cute graphic but show the other 4 feet of receipt at the bottom you cowards

Several USL Super League teams have accounts on here (I don't think any are verified) but only TB seems to post :(
