This is 100% the perfect take.

Last May I sat down with Obed & chatted about his next step. At that time America & Tigres were interested but he told Seattle donโt entertain it. Europe or bust, no Liga MX.
Very happy he got his wish and BIG kudos to the Sounders for protecting and respecting Obedโs 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:

26.01.2026 21:24 โ ๐ 5 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti โWe 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 โheroโ 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 Trumpโs 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.

"Please get the truth out about our son."
Why donโt 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 whatโs to come. The U is back! ๐งก๐
Every team in the league had the opportunity to give him that deal. I give you the โliving in Miamiโ advantage but contract/benefits opportunity any team could have done that.

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.

Sadly, without Riqui, Galaxy is in trouble. Should make the playoffs though, maybe.
Not a single innocent Venezuelan died last night.
