Obed's gonna take Johnny's minutes b/c Obed's a much better soccer player.

We bought you Hearts, happy birthday!

Any details on whether it is a loan or a buy? I know Galaxy have a sell on for him.

Son being on 11 million and Bouanga being on only 3.5 million (pulled these numbers from the MLS PA site, which I assume is up to date) is probably what is fueling this. My guess is he either goes or LAFC have to double his salary and give him a new contract to stay.

I said last week that "Cashfers" = one of the best rule changes MLS has made. The U22 initiative is its worst.

It was created by a consulting firm, BCG, and right as the world got better at valuing young talent.

An optimized system would value proven players in their prime, and domestic prospects.

ICE protester says her Global Entry was revoked after agent scanned her face Global Entry and Precheck revoked three days after incident, court filing says.

You knew as soon the they started talking about a “new” video of Pretti that showed him kicking a DHS-mobile it was gonna be AI-gen. And in a sane society the gov manufacturing fake evidence to justify your extrajudicial execution would be reason enough to turn that shit off and burn the drives.

This giant ICE Army they are building this year is also likely to be at polling places during the midterms in heavily Democratic precincts with the excuse being that they are looking for “illegals trying to vote.”

A tactically smart coach with gravitas from a legendary playing career could fix Real Madrid. Someone like, say, Xabi Alonso.

Shit got real when the NBA started canceling games for COVID.

Maybe this is what it will take for people who have the ability to do something right now, to actually REALLY look at what's happening and actually DO something about it.

This cannot stand.

Every single game this year. Make them hear you

People are so determined to hate Miami that they refuse to give them credit for what they've done well, which is definitely more than just "spend money."

ICE detain yet another minor child—chase him down his own street and tackle him to pavement.

"I am legal! I am legal!" he cries over and over in Spanish.

Agent pins the boy down in snow—he desperately tries to keep his exposed hands from freezing at -25°F wind chill temperature.

Minneapolis, MN

The depths of hell won't be hot enough.

The father has no criminal record, he came into the country “the right way,” and did everything asked of him throughout the process.

This, combined with JD Vance’s, et al’s, obsession with making babies, is about ethnic cleansing.

The U.S. needs an opposition party that tells people this.

I genuinely think boycotting the World Cup is some of the strongest leverage the Europeans have.

They were eventually allowed one phone call as a thanks for saving the agent’s life.

They used it to call their lawyer, who called their state representative, who ultimately got them released on the condition they tell people they were “treated kindly.”

This is ICE.

I am not exaggerating when I say ICE functions as a terrorist organization in the Twin Cities. The goal seems to be to harass and frighten people (the ones who are lucky enough to not be abducted, at least) and it's deeply unsettling when you learn they're in your neighborhood.

hard to imagine a more irritating way to market soccer to Americans than this. the entire Men In Blazers approach is based on the stupid, wrong idea that no one like soccer in America until well off white Americans started watching it when NBC got the rights in 2013

MIB has talked down to their audience from day one and it sucks they've convinced a lot of Americans the only way to be an authentic soccer fan is to cosplay English fandom.

they are recruiting for the worst, bottom-of-the-barrel chuds imaginable and those chuds are behaving exactly as you'd expect

State of the Union: The capture of Maduro was basically the political version of a well-timed slide tackle. It’s messy, it’s controversial, there’s blood, but if it stops the other team from scoring you do it. People complaining about legality are wimps. Peace is winning.

Obviously a massive hit to our 2026 season prospects. That said I don’t even care about that at the moment. He’s a forever club legend in my eyes for what he did in the WCF to get us to the final. I hope he can make a full recovery and a complete career comeback.

Neocons wanted violent regime change in Venezuela. Trump is giving them that.

Neocons wanted violent regime change in Iran. Trump is giving them that.

Neocons wanted blind support for Israel. Trump is given them that.

Tell me again how Trump is different to the neocons?

Riqui Puig is one of the best players in MLS, but that's not the whole story to his stardom. He's one of the most fun too. His style + passion. An easy fan favorite.

Injury news sucks. Hopefully he'll be back to 100% before we know it

I've seen some confusion over Justin Haak accepting a 1-year FA deal from the Galaxy instead of taking a longer, guaranteed deal from NYCFC. And unfortunately you kind of need to be an MLS CBA sicko to understand all the math at play here.

Gonna try to break it down for you 1/x

What researchers have discovered about maternal, infant health under Texas' abortion laws In the more than four years since the state of Texas significantly restricted access to abortion, medical researchers have been studying the health effects of that policy change.

A growing body of research indicates that Texas's restrictive abortion bans have negatively impacted the health and lives of Texas women and babies in multiple ways. Across the board, pregnancy outcomes and complications have worsened.
