That Guy From Soccer

The 80s had a lot of mindless lyricism on the pop charts but that one acores 11/10 on the Duran Scale for Dumb, Meaningless Lyrics

Peter Bondra erasure?

Perry being a massive douche helped even less I think. He’s the (pre-team sale) Dan Snyder of alt rock - you support and love the thing he’s closely associated with but you hate the idea of HIM getting celebrated if it goes well

You have to find the best individual spaces and actively avoid the rest. The actual HR Reddit is pretty normal/good in my experience.

TBH as a non-stanified KPop fan I’ve been navigating this dynamic for a decade.

Can you believe the Wiz are tanking??? I had no idea!

Aww man. RIP Sonny.

I mean, that’s a book about the rise of the hard right in media with Tucker as a central figure, not some kind of fawning bio. (Full disclosure: I went to HS with the author, he’s a very good journalist)

Apologies to @pkedit.bsky.social for copying his post from another site that I would leave if I could. But what he wrote is true:

No newspaper in the United States has covered soccer more and better in its history than the Washington Post. It saw demand and interest decades ago, and answered.

I genuinely think the biggest threats to democracy are
1) A media landscape dominated by oligarchs making it impossible to get the truth in front of voters
2) Right wing state legislatures and judges changing rules pre-election
Whenever someone says they're going to cancel elections I roll my eyes

Sounds like Panarin only wanted LA which is why NYR had to take a bag of pucks for him

Oh shit I hasn’t seen this

Jeff Buckley on the charts in 2026 is a glorious thing. Especially when he decidedly wasn’t on them (at least in the US) in 94/95.

A testimonial is a friendly that teams play in honor of players who reach 10 years with the team. They bring in former players/fan faves/world stars along with the current team and play a match. Ticket proceeds used to go to the player, but that changed to charity once players were making real money

Isn’t this basically just a testimonial? I’m definitely pro-bringing back testimonials

I find most non-Commanders games kinda boring now but I’m here for “Nearly Lost You” as bumper music

“Football players make football plays” is the one I always like best

I only recognize “How Ya Like Me Now” by Kool Moe Dee TYVM

Thomas Frank is the Graham Potter of Ange Postecoglous

It’s hilarious bc Jaden wasn’t incompetent! LOONA was making the best pop music in the world from 2016-19. Do you not think the creative director had something to do with that? But no we gotta measure screen time with a stopwatch or whatever because of my parasocial relationship with Vivi

No one ever said stans thought their shit out. I never got the Jaden hate-he’s the reason LOONA was so much more interesting than most groups!

At least one DC soccer team gives a crap about winning

BREAKING: Trinity Rodman is staying with the Washington Spirit through 2028 after her previous four-year extension lapsed on Dec. 31, the team announced on Thursday.

I don't think it's a coincidence that all of this (worldwide) is happening when most of the people who lived through WWII have just died. We need to do a better job of keeping their memories and ideals alive.

Go say hi to the ombuds there, Johnny and Jacqueline. Two great people and great professionals!

Leeds United's dressing room secrets leak and Marsch philosophy Guardiola uses Jesse Marsch has responded to the published picture of his keys-to-the-game sheet used in Leeds United's dressing room and how Pep Guardiola follows the same tactical approach the American is sometime...

It’s referenced in this article.

“The goal is in the middle on the end line and so when we win balls, we don't want to run to the corner. We want to run to the middle of the pitch where the goal is and that's how you score goals.”
