Yikes. Folding two weeks before the season is cruel to everyone who loves soccer. I wonder what posturing was going on behind the curtain for this to happen.

23.02.2026 21:42 β π 0 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0in public, the men's hockey team has been supportive of the women's team, going to games, cheering them on, saying they were inspired by the OT golden goal
must be gutting to feel that support and then get first-hand evidence that behind closed doors, when it's just The Boys, they're laughing at you
This post aged well. FDT, fuck Kash Patel, and fuck the coward USA men's hockey team for greenlighting misogyny.

3 xG to 1 on 32% possession is outstanding.
Messi was a contained threat. Almost hit a casual top bins when he was allowed to turn.
Miami can't build anything in the wide spaces. And I'm still confused as to how no one picked up on this last year.
Great scouting report by LAFC.
Miami got Miami'd. They usually force teams to pass the ball extensively to a virtual zero-threat, then they attack exclusively up the middle on the break.
LAFC showed you can sit a narrow block of 8 and do the same against them.
