Hearing from multiple media outlets that Iran is likely to drop out of the 2026 World Cup. For the β€œdon’t talk politics” crowd…

This is exactly how politics affects the World Cup, and why I effing talk about it.

I probably would've set it at 11.5 and hammered the over.

That said, SJ are using the 3 DP roster build model, which means 2 new DPs are on the way. From what I've heard, one is a true No. 9. So that might bite into his output.

The American media will focus almost entirely on the number of casualties to US service members, but the bombing of a school in the middle of a school day is just an absolute moral disaster. There is no possible justification. It’s just evil and depraved recklessness.

Update: Timo Werner completed a second day of training today and will be on the gameday roster tomorrow for the #Quakes74 match against Atlanta United. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, Werner is ready to make his Earthquakes' debut.

Why the USL’s expansion-first business model is breeding instability in American soccer Clubs are folding at a breakneck pace, but the USL keeps cashing expansion fee checks.

As clubs fold, the USL’s business model is breeding instability in American soccer.

With expansion fee revenue staying at USL HQ, it doesn't matter if your team is around for a year or a decade.

The check cashes either way, writes @usltactics.com.

Update/Scoopβ€” New guidance sent this AM to Kansas DMVs indicates licenses that previously had gender marker changed not actually invalid yet. However, internally DMV can see who is flagged, and keeping track of who has/hasn't come in to update. Seems about 300 trans/GNC ppl flagged across the state.

Every day the USLPA shares testimonials from players who have dealt with substandard facilities, housing and benefits while the league gleefully sells us on pro/rel and D1.

There are still 20% of teams who DO NOT EVEN OFFER health insurance. It’s time for the USL to act like a grown up league.

Text box over a picture of the Blue Crew section holding a sign that says Trans People Belong. Text reads:

We're disgusted, dismayed, and quite frankly, terrified by the actions of the Kansas State legislature over the last couple weeks, which has accelerated to a new frightening degree by the invalidation of driver's licenses and birth certificates. Trans people belong. Trans people have always been here. Trans people will always be here. We will never stop fighting for our neighbors, our friends, our community. 

We will share and amplify resources on how you can help the trans community in Kansas

Emergency protest happening now outside Columbia University after ICE agents used a β€œbogus missing persons flyer for a 5-year old girl” to gain access to a school-owned residence to detain a student.

That student posted to her instagram this morning: β€œDHS illegally arrested me. Please help.”

I'm seeing a lot of lawsky saying how blatantly unconstitutional the Kansas law invalidating trans people's licenses is and I don't know know how to tell them that the federal court won't do anything about this. The passport case showed SCOTUS explicitly approves of this sort of thing.

Truly astounding as a trans person to watch your community be told we're not worthy of consideration by Democrats on Monday, be told to be silent and grateful all of Tuesday, and by Wednesday an entire state has criminalized trans citizens' existence.

Because of the National driver register, since their licenses are suspended, trans folks cannot move to another state and get a new license until they remove the suspension on their existing Kansas license.

They can't even escape this by moving to another state.
