Yeah just being facetious sorry, but another thing I sometimes do for my own publications is always use digits for stats. E.g. of all this together would be "the No. 9 scored 15 goals and made 6 assists." I did start writing a soccer style guide for one of my sites once so may revisit.
Pretty sure it now represents players in all USL professional leagues including league one and superleague. I wrote this about it recently but also have something else in the works. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/unio...
No. 4
This is some of the best PR MLS has had in ages and it doesn't even need to do anything.
Inter Miami became the latest team to become wallpaper in Trump’s White House. Even by the standards of this administration, and even by the standards of American soccer, it was a truly bizarre thing to watch.
Me, on @us.theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/football/202...
USL is currently making MLS look good rather than challenging it as an alternative professional soccer league.
As MLS Cup champions Inter Miami look on in the background.
This is the most open I've seen from an MLS team business leader and it's must read stuff from @hudsonriverblue.com

Players around the world with the most goals plus assists in the past year, as compiled by the CIES Football Observatory. A few MLS players in the top 10, including a guy called Lionel Messi at No. 1.
Yeah, these are more "up and under" but it's all a similar idea with similar aims.
Tweet from February 2021 describing Everton using a high "bomb" kick at kick-off.
It's not new either
Seeing this from kick-offs now too. The high "bomb" kick from rugby which can be effective in any form of football, and showing again that these sports are closely linked and originated from the same game.
Wolves v Liverpool shot map from FotMob
Wolves score in the 78th minute against Liverpool with their first shot of the game.
It was a great performance from McNeil, so he deserved the ovation regardless, but there is some more context here on why Everton fans are making an extra effort to support him. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
Standing ovation for Dwight McNeil at Bramley-Moore as he's replaced by Tyrique George. Good show of support from the Everton fans.
Everton v Burnley, team lineups etc from tonight's big game.
Everton are third in the Premier League away games table.

Acquiesce was the obvious Oasis track to release from those live shows, and was wondering why they didn't. Good that they saved it for something like this.
After a quiet opening weekend, Messi League Soccer was back, while the Red Bulls wonderkids lived up to the Week 1 hype, and Miami's best Busquets replacement may have gone to Minnesota. Plus more that caught the eye in Matchday 2, for @fotmob.com www.fotmob.com/en-GB/topnew...
I don't think this should be onside, which it would be under Wenger's rule.
We've seen some of this in recent months and will get a lot more before June, but it's surreal this morning to look at the sports pages that were justifiably critical of previous World Cup hosts and see almost no mention that the U.S. spent the weekend bombing Iran
Thomas Müller responding to a Kicker question about ⚽️ in North America. (In several parts.)
“You must separate 2 different things.
Football here still has no big significance in the life of the general population. It’s not spoken about in the office on a Monday morning.”
