I'm much more of a "team goal" guy than an "individual banger" guy but this shit's stayed with me for 15 years.
Still my favorite thunderbastard in MLS history. Has a level of intentionality to it that few goals have ever matched.
What a player, what a career.

My guess is the FO is prizing his familiarity with the roster and the tactics over anything else. He also presumably isn't asking for that much money and will be easy to let go of if it doesn't work out.

Stuff might actually happen and the Senate could no longer cynically block badly needed reforms you say? Oh and the GOP might actually have to govern instead of just block everything they don't like in perpetuity?!

Go from 9 to 18 and the longest-tenured justice retires every two years. Single 18-year terms.
Every president gets to appoint two, the make-up of the court is always evolving, and you avoid having justices who are too young or too old.

I see it as two great teams went at it and the Galaxy edged it. Galaxy had blown out Colorado and Minnesota, Seattle had just beat LAFC, the team many had pegged to win it all, away from home. Either team could have won it, but Seattle made the Galaxy go to war for it and it ended up costing us Puig

I see the logic behind continuity in extending Vanney, but if Galaxy don't hit the ground running next season it is going to look like an all time bad decision. Which is wild given how good of a job Kuntz did in the three transfer windows he had leading up to MLS Cup 2024.

The ICE agents deploying these are people without necessary training, those who couldnβt cut it in police training or didnβt want to join the military.
They are in this to hurt people and play Call of Duty on our streets, deploying chemical weapons on our neighbors as if theyβre pressing L1.

Interesting that thereβs a certain faction of American soccer fan that says they donβt watch MLS because they only want to watch the best football, and yet they donβt watch the BrasileirΓ£o but instead choose to wake up at 7:30am to watch Wolverhampton Wanderers. Curious.

Paul's not wrong from a competition standpoint, as MLS has to keep improving roster construction, but the #CanMNT started 3 defenders and a GK from MLS and shut out the defending AFCON champions. And their 2 bright spots in attack play in MLS
All to say that the USMNT's struggles run deeper

Tough business, but:
- Cerrillo & Sanabria clear starters
- Wynder, Lepley & Ramos have played well in preseason. Parente too.
So not many minutes available for Davis. Buying him out opens space and gives him a chance to land somewhere heβll play.
Orlando should already be on the phone with him.

Twitter is an insane cesspool of racism, homophobia, and misogyny. Might as well call it 3chan or something. I think Iβm done actively posting over there unless new ownership who actually wants to moderate anything takes over.
