And we have officially arrived in high “keep an active watch of the tropics” season

Hell yeah, let’s bowl some wickets*

(*not responsible for if any of that sentence was accurate)

Some bonds never fade 🤞

The ’75 legends return! Celebrate 50 years with members of the Original Era team and snag an autograph before kickoff this Saturday!

Forward Madison starting their own league

I don't think they drive enough value where they would consider it (or that it might even be offered by a streaming partner). I wouldn't be shocked to see the whole deal chopped up over more partners though (like NWSL and WNBA).

This is the smartest thread you’ll read about the Apple TV and MLS deal. It’s a no brainer if you can remove the Executive ego component.

Probably the game I was most looking forward to on the calendar this year. Can't wait!

R.I.P.

The cool thing about year two of USL Super League is we get a better idea of the player pool at this level and what they bring to the equation.

If there’s one thing we can all agree on, it’s that all these guys truly respect and care about women’s sports and female athletes, and totally aren’t just using them as a prop to stir up anger at trans people

hell yeah fuck yeah

La Liga clubs and Macron don’t get nearly enough love for their kits. Big fan of this design.

He would be proud 🥲

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

We’re the stupidest country. The absolute dumbest.

A million percent. I just don’t know about our new guy.

In some ways, I will kind of miss Stu Sternberg as an owner. The teams weren't bad, mostly they were good, and they'd more often than not be on the right side of things. Not sure if that will be the case going forward.

As much as I'd love to, writing more than 300 characters spontaneously is soul crushing for me, lol. Some people like to write, but it's always been a chore for me. I sit at a keyboard and just stare blankly at it.

The cynical side of me agrees, but MLS Next Pro gets less energy than every other men’s or women’s pro league and I’m including zombie NISA.

The Courage would not be unique in firing a manager because they didn’t like their current direction, it’s normal across global football.

The problem comes when you’re purposely vague in a league that has to submit reports to the Attorneys General because they’ve mishandled multiple abuse scandals.

The coverage of the Final was really frustrating. Many of these sites were happy to post a clickbaity article on "USL Super League coming to challenge NWSL" (which is their framing, not USL's) and then couldn't be bothered to note that a Final even happened.

To be clear, I'm not saying "don't watch, consume, cover NWSL". I understand why people want to see the absolute best players. But I also think some WoSo media have chosen to freeze out USL Super League because its presence is an affront to NWSL and I think NWSL probably deserves more affronts.

I know the NWSL is a better league. But it is frustrating to me that other than clickbait articles, USL Super League gets nearly no WoSo media oxygen, while NWSL will piss you off monthly with bad behavior you can't comprehend they're repeating once again.

The dates process for Concacaf qualification for the 2027 World Cup in Brazil has been confirmed.

These are the types of things I remember forever, meanwhile life memories come and go, never to be remembered again

After this, both the Tampa Bay Sun and the Tampa Bay Rowdies logos will have been featured on a NASCAR Cup Series car for race day. The pic below was from Ross Chastain’s No. 15 at the 2018 Coke Zero Sugar 400 at Daytona.

The coach that started it all.

Our first head coach Eddie Firmani is set to become the newest member of the 75/10 Club at our August 16 home match.
