This is 100% the perfect take.
No notes.
Last May I sat down with Obed & chatted about his next step. At that time America & Tigres were interested but he told Seattle don’t entertain it. Europe or bust, no Liga MX.
Very happy he got his wish and BIG kudos to the Sounders for protecting and respecting Obed’s wishes.
Go kill it Obed!
Colchonero at heart?

Pareja then told me Alex wasn't going anywhere that time but immediately took extra time to RAVE about Alex's character & the way he handled a life dream situation, how professional & focused he stayed. The most mature 21yo, a coach's dream.
Take good care of him, Villarreal.
Now that Alex Freeman is finally making the Villarreal move, it's a good time to tell an anecdote during Leagues Cup when the rumors were flying high he could leave those days:

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Why don’t you and your trash pathetic excuse of a party actually do something instead of all these empty whatever the fuck this is.
Do your job. You are all a disgrace.
A nurse. A researcher. A helper.

An incredible unexpected wonderful ride. Nobody, including us fans, would have ever thought of reaching the Championship game this year. Not even close.
Excited for what’s to come. The U is back! 🧡💚
Every team in the league had the opportunity to give him that deal. I give you the “living in Miami” advantage but contract/benefits opportunity any team could have done that.
17.01.2026 20:10 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0I meant it as never considered in any discussion when talking about the best players in the league. Never made a best XI, he didn’t even made the all star! (Made it last minute as injury replacement). You never ever hear his name on anything. Obviously SJ hasn’t helped.

“We cannot force teams into giving us players and we do not have other tools that other clubs do not have”.
Messi is a cheat code but everyone had the chance. Don’t punish ambition.
With the 2026 MLS season just over a month away, we've put together a list of outlets covering the league and all 30 teams. Check them out for all the news and info you'll need this season!

The best CFB team of all time, forever and ever, until the end of time and beyond is 2001 Miami.
If you want, do LSU 2019 vs this Indiana for that very far second place.
Guys, I think Indiana is good at Football now.

This is a vetted fundraiser for the family of Renee Good, the woman who was killed by ICE in Minneapolis.

Signing of the winter as of now, of course… looking at you Miami open DO spot.
07.01.2026 17:10 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Espinoza to Nashville is the best signing of the winter. Haak/Glesnes to Galaxy is a close second but with Espinoza, Nashville is going to be so much fun and a serious MLS CUP contender.
Sadly, without Riqui, Galaxy is in trouble. Should make the playoffs though, maybe.
Not a single innocent Venezuelan died last night.

Saw this on IG.
Worth sharing at the moment.
Emphasis on “Listen to VENEZUELANS voices today”
Free Newsletter: A look back at 2025, and a lookahead at preseason coverage (yes, it's that time already).
Plus the Galaxy have sadly already lost a bunch of their POWER. Maybe. (But hopefully not)
