Heads up to UK night owls that I did a prerecord for Talk Sport Extra Time w/ Paul Ross about Asia's World Cup teams and also a bit about North Korea at the Women's Asian Cup; that will air at around 2am and 4am your time.

if you listen closely you'll hear @jezebelkat.bsky.social getting reactivated like the Winter Soldier

I am so tired of this timeline

Commemorative uniforms for a former player/coach is certainly a thing they are doing!

They built an athletic track that's actually going to be used for athletics, the horror 😂

The old Mizuho was the primary ground of Nagoya Grampus and become the club's secondary ground around 2009-10, I believe when the club's hometown area expanded to include Toyota Stadium.

After that, Mizuho was frequently used for cup games and midweek fixtures through the 2020 season.

The newly rebuilt Paloma Mizuho Stadium will open to the public next month with a commemorative event on April 18.

Will host the opening ceremonies and serve as the athletics venue for the 2026 Asian Games, which will take place across Nagoya and Aichi Prefecture.

Former Japan international and FC Cincinnati designated player Yuya Kubo has announced his retirement, and one of the photos he's used is... a shot I took of him just a week after his 18th birthday in the 2011 Emperor's Cup final.

Pretty sure I know how it got to him all those years ago - neat!

This was a fantastic conversation, thanks for having us on!

In my naivete I actually went to the White House website to see if this was real, and it is, and now I will be sad for the next 48 hours.

She's said it didn't actually hurt to put in!

This reminds me of how, for a time, Tokyo Verdy had the biggest Instagram following of any Japanese sports team after they signed Pratama Arhan and got flooded w/ Indonesian followers.

Of course he got like an hour of playing time over two years but they're still leading the #JLeague by a hair!

So what're we arguing about then?

We ate at Queen Sheba once and I recall it being dece.

I have heard *very* good things about Little Ethiopia over on the other side of the Arakawa.

Which place did you go to?

I once asked if they could do a half-and-half, because I thought strawberry+peach would be an amazing combo, and I was told no =(

the courage and spirit of the Iranian players to do anything at all tonight, with so much chaos and uncertainty unfolding back home, is just remarkable. they should be so, so proud. #KORvIRN #AFCWAC

are the Icee machines also self-serve and how many seconds do you figure i can just open my mouth underneath the nozzle and hold the trigger down before security comes, hypothetically of course

Joel Chima Fujita got a Topps NOW card, good for him.

the irony is that they can find me talking shit about Mastodon on here *way* more easily than they could on their own social network with a search function that is crippled by design.

ESPNAssignmentDesk @ESPNAssignDesk · 2h Hello, Dane! Please see your DMs for a message from us! Dane Moore @DaneMooreNBA You do not have permission to use it — as I’ve told you numerous times in DMs. Shouldn’t have laid off all those reporters if you wanted locker room content.

This is the correct energy against our media overlords

Yeah I know where like 75% of my blocks come from - mostly soft-as-baby-shit fandom people, Blue MAGA types who are mad when I call them out for their reply-guy silliness and recently people who I guess were offended that I made fun of Mastodon. But there's a couple that are mysteries to this day.

They were preseason games but the American Bowl ran for quite a while.

There was also an NCAA D1 bowl game in Japan for over a decade!

You are thinking of the Rams, who in 2005 were still in St. Louis. The Chargers were indeed in San Diego and the Raiders were still in Oakland!

I don't know how far I'll get with this, but I'll at least try to have a Simpsons moment for every day of the Women's Asian Cup. Here is Day One. #WAC2026
