Yo I laughed so hard at that line.
Is two games to early for #SackWatch? I donβt think so!
Welp I guess thereβs no way to earn the votes of young men other than by courting and vocally backing the three fraudulent industries that are absolutely ruining their lives.
Thereβs an app called Futez on the AppStore thatβs aiming to be the Letterboxed of soccer. Itβs a little buggy but it allows you to rate a match from 1-10 based on atmosphere, the game, and referring plus allowing you to rate players. Iβm proposing us MLS folks take it over and start rating matches
Whoooose winning?
2 games, and both on the road (away teams press less) is not enough to have any confidence, but oof the pressing ainβt happening so far
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)

Cedric Teuchert has been maybe the most impressive that I've seen him in the last year.

Just gonna say it... MLS MAKES NO SENSE. It's like a damn Pete Holmes joke.
Major League Soccer is now taking action against small content creators, for get this, showing a press conference?!
Absolutely insane what we have to deal with for just trying to talk about a game.
Anyone have any contacts at MLS HQ to get this sorted? This is ridiculous.
Sooooo I see we're going to be talking about home field advantage a lot this week in MLS land.
Drake Callender was really good today.
JoaquΓn Pereyra is like fancy Cristian Roldan ketchup... I think... yes. Yes, that tracks. Send skeet.
Did a bit of extra legwork this morning, so you can see how volume and xG (I have shots, goals, xG/shot, SOT, and PSxG data, too) created out of various types of sequence starts compare.
If you create a scatterplot from the summary values of the graphs below from 2025, it looks like this:

In fairness to Montreal they just forgot to soccer period.
Really excited for my #2 overall G+ pick to take the field. Looks like things are going great.
HELLuva goal, Bamba.
Honestly forgot about Jonathan Bamba.
Any 'modern'/recent public work on xG/conversion rates and game states/score effects? Thinking about this from a decade ago.

It seems like a lot of people still don't know that he admitted to his lawyer that he committed sexual assault. We know this because his lawyer was hacked, so it wouldn't be admissible as evidence in court, but we still do know that he told his lawyer he did it.
Totally fair, I did not know the general feeling of people outside of own friend group about that book so it's always interesting to hear other people's perspectives.
Almost ready to start it myself. Wait, I'm confused, did you not like RPO?
Andres Cubas's extension makes him a non-DP. Ironically this means he has a higher salary budget charge. The result is less space to add guys like Larborda, Sabbi, etc. BUT they can now add another DP in the summer. #VWFC
Just keep sipping, SKC fans!
941Megan called the Committee before AND after the Sporting KC game this weekend to give her thoughts βοΈ
End result? Sports are brutal π
