"If anything, this kind of pressure campaign only reinforces why players voted to provide strike authorization in the first place."

Thanks Kartik! You’ve been doing exceptional work, as always, at Beyond the 90’.

Report on the email from that led to this statement here for those interested: bsky.app/profile/jeff...

Close to 650 federal agents remain in Minnesota weeks after border czar announced end of operation There are still more than quadruple the 150 agents Tom Homan said there would be in the state by the end of last week.

They’re still lying to us.

Ally Sentnor strike helps US top Canada, extending dominant defensive record The cew KC Current forward scored her seventh international goal to top a Canada side that hasn’t kept a clean sheet since April 2025

NEW: The USWNT simply will not concede, extending its clean sheet streak to 714 mins with a 1-0 win over Canada.

Ally Sentnor scored from a corner. Sam Coffey and Claire Hutton forged a tidy double-pivot. Canada hardly threatened - scored upon in 11 straight now. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Who's getting relegated from the Premier League? According to betting markets, xG, and xVibes

I looked at xG trends over the last 10 games, remaining fixtures, and betting markets to figure out where I think everyone's relegation chances stand.

I've relaxed *a little bit* about Spurs and I am scared for Forest.

Another Data Point One more game into the 2026 MLS season for FC Cincinnati

Another game of data into the MLS season for FC Cincinnati but if there was ever one to write off, it's probably that one.

Still, more Dado minutes to support my take that he's not really a #10 (right now)

Infantino’s idolisation of Trump has left football with blood on its hands | Barney Ronay The Fifa president’s sycophancy towards the US president has left the organisation facing a new nadir, but any reckoning seems a distant prospect

MLS weekend wrap: teenagers are taking over, and Messi goes full Florida Man The days of the retirement league trope appear to be ending, while Inter Miami’s star had an outstanding – and amusing – game against Orlando City

NEW: MLS is for the kids now, with Julian Hall (17) atop the scoring charts. He starts over Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting — less of a "retirement league" than a mentorship program. It's a new normal leaguewide.

Plus: Lionel "Florida Man" Messi, and Joao MF'ing Klauss.

Armchair Stockholm Syndrome hits different.

Absolutely wild tweet from someone who watches CF Montreal every week

He just covers that much ground.

Yeah, really brutal way to lose a game. Ramirez keeps Yeboah an inch onside, then watches the second sequence from the front row. Gotta think set piece defending will get emphasis this week. Y'all are gonna be just fine this year I think.

Now that's the stuff

Can't imagine the relief for Drake Calendar. First start at any home venue since November 9, 2024, and a great first impression replacing the outgoing Goalkeeper of the Year.

Cincy caught flat-footed on a set piece, game of inches and all that. Glad these fans got a W amidst a winter like no other.

Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis US president violates UN charter just days into his Board of Peace era, and chooses to take the biggest gamble of his administration

From @julianborger.bsky.social: Trump’s unprovoked attack on Iran has no mandate – or legal basis

www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

Iranians, real everyday folks who are among the kindest and most hospitable you will ever meet, do not need war. I’m no geopolitical expert, just a guy who knows an above-average amount about Iran for an American. But this seems very obvious.
