Mehdi Pays Tribute To His Late Father
YouTube video by Zeteo Mehdi Pays Tribute To His Late Father

My tribute to my dad, who passed away last month in the UK.

He was a proud Indian immigrant *and* a proud British citizen.

His life story is one long rebuttal to the nativists, bigots and xenophobes.

Looking Back: What Happened (Generally)? Part one of a series looking back at what went right, and wrong, for FC Cincinnati in 2025

Last call today for my first take on FCC’s 2025.

Nicest possible TLDR: this offseason is going to be huge to ensuring another good year next year.

Timo Werner had NYRB ineffective DP written all over him so landing in Miami would be very funny.

I simply would not assume it’s the GM making the ultimate “sell” decision in this case.

Hey @michaelarace1.bsky.social thanks so much for the kind words! Means a lot from a guy whose work I’ve admired (and followed!) for 30 years.

And I promise the Ghost move is coming soon.

Two more post-mortems are live!

NYCFC slow-played their season, and it paid off with an excellent summer window and a really promising playoff run. And San Diego... well, they proved me entirely wrong, and set an expansion record in the process.

Just think there are a lot of MLS teams that could do better than they're currently managing to.
