Gabriel - 3rd Lens Fútbol

Thanks so much fellas. It’s so good to hear from you! I’ll see if I can fire it back up again around gw8-10.

I encountered you all in the 90s when I was 17 and moved from Caracas, a massive South American metropolis, to Amish country Pennsylvania. I identified so much with Joel’s journey, but was always more like Chris in personality.
Thank you for helping me see the magic everywhere.

Doué on the first goal!

Slips just behind the line of pressure, drags defenders out of the middle, gifting Hakimi space in front of goal. That’s top-level movement and an underrated assist.👏

Adds a goal with a composed finish too! Man of the match performance early doors.

The hearing on the Republicans’ budget bill began at 1:00 am.

12 hours later — and we’re still here.

To our colleagues supposedly focused on “work requirements” — spare us the lectures when you won’t bother showing up to the hearing.

Listening now and it feels like a homecoming. Thank you for opening this perspective to us.

Brilliant, thank you!

Love your work!

For the second week running, I had half the thread written then fell asleep. Been too much work lately but should have more time in the next few weeks. Sorry to disappoint.

Eek might come too soon for me. 😭

Boberta! 😂

Could get an attacking return but wouldn’t trust for a clean sheet.

Sarr good pick. Against poor competition anyone could explode.

It’s a pleasure. ☺️
