Oh hey, my state is on the list. Not that I have a balcony, but one can dream.

Iran’s sports minister says football team will not play at 2026 World Cup Iran cannot participate in the 2026 World Cup after the US killed their leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, the sports minister has said

Iran withdrawing from the World Cup isn't surprising - that feels like a pretty obvious choice at this stage.

I _am_ somewhat surprised and disappointed that the phrase "Peace Prize" doesn't appear anywhere in this article.

Thanks - those 30 minutes or so scanning all the replies are probably going to be the best part of my day... :-)

The best argument I've seen for greater precision is the ability to see whether gaps are increasing or decreasing - which is fair, but _that_ story (who is closing, who is falling back) is probably something that can be shown without resorting to lots of digits on screen.

I'm fine with only seeing tenths, as long as it makes the tower graphic cleaner. Don't take that space and add more clutter.

Hey now, I was at a lot of those games....

(you're not wrong)

I love, love, love this name.

Hard same for me - I like this branding a lot more than I expected to. I'm continually surprised by how much of an emotional connection I have to places like Virginia Kendall.

At the moment, I look at this as drivers and teams figuring out what the new dynamics are.

Personally, I'm hoping for enough stability to see if we get better racing out of this by later this spring. If it turns out just to be random, then tweak - but not now.

I'm remembering the sequences between Leclerc and Verstappen a few years ago where Verstappen was gaming the DRS detection line, so he could grab the position back immediately.

Was that a problem? A case of drivers figuring out how to compete within a complex set of circumstances? Both?

Yeboah Finishes An Incredible Assist to Extend the Lead For The Crew

The news about Yaw Yeboah earning a lifetime ban from MLS for betting on soccer games makes me sad for him, to have fallen into that trap.

It also makes me remember the days when #Crew96 would score goals like this. www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWeC...

How long has it been since we saw play like this?

I want to like RydstrΓΆm. The things I read about him in the off-season had me intrigued, if not excited.

Through three games, though, I'm more frustrated and confused.

About halfway through the second half, I found myself thinking back to the Porter years, when #Crew96 would have a game like this and concede a late goal to give away points.

We didn't do that tonight.

That _this_ is my comparison tells me how far this team is below what it was. Ugh.

I really am wondering why they thought this camera angle was going to be interesting. Feels like a lawnmower simulation with F1 cars in the background.

This is the way.

I'm so happy to see you posting videos like this again - thank you!

Super helpful thread from earlier today summarizing how the various groups spoke at the UN Security Council.

I'm not used to seeing cross-promotion and being in both target audiences. Seeing these MLS - F1 ads is an interesting experience.

I may not be able to make these shots that Gazdag is missing, but the #Crew96 could be paying me significantly less money to do so.

Wondering if the men's players will get McDonald's cheeseburgers like the football players did...

Yeah, that's very fair. There's a big difference between saying "we'll just do it on our own" and actually pulling that off.

It does feel, though, like this might be a good reason to retain more control for future editions. Which I'm sure is not novel to anyone involved.

What prevents the collective humans who gather in the Nordecke from organizing something on their own?

It's time for the annual "get fit" challenge at work, so I'm once again trying to find ways to exercise that I can sustain for a few months (ideally longer).

Today's sign of progress: walking for almost 8 miles across two outings. That's not a distance I've covered in some time.

The urge to snark and say a dusting is REALLY strong, but instead I'm going to be optimistic and say a foot. I can't bring myself to believe in more than that.

Congrats! I'm taking some encouragement from seeing your accounts of how this process is going for you.

I did not have Amundsen on my dance card for the player i would be most doubtful of in the back, though.

There were some positives from #Crew96 in that game. Abou Ali and Rossi both scored, and some sequences of play were good to see. We even looked good on corners at times.

I'm curious to see how RydstrΓΆm handles the roster and lineup over the first half dozen games.

Wake up, fam. It’s the first #Crew96 matchday of 2026.
