No MLS team is allowed to whine about when CCC starts ever again. BodΓΈ/Glimt hasn’t played a league match since November 30th.

It's currently 58F in LA and Ronald is dressed like nor-easter has come for the region.

Ronald Matarrita has altogether way too much clothing on for a soccer match being played in Los Angeles.

Ferrari turning into the Spurs of F1 wasn’t something I really could’ve predicted 20 years ago.

Sporting KC are reckoning with this exact situation at the moment. Thankfully, they appear to be shifting course, but it’s gonna take minute.

My club is actively trying to kill me and literally the fact that it actually lets y’all feel normal for a moment should hurt me but it actually makes me feel better.

The life of a Tottenham Fan I guess.

This man fumbled the biggest bag known to man and somehow picked it back up Franco Harris style.

I’ve given up even worrying about it. I just know it’s wrong and move on.

I think two things can be true. Arsenal are very good and hard to beat, and their games are a slog to watch for a neutral.

SJ is looking for this switch a lot. They did it several times against SKC in week 1, albeit closer to the final 3rd.

This is some Football Manager-ass press conferencing from Benny. The β€œquiet confidence among us” is straight from the game lol.

I know you are having fun with the SKC part, and deservedly so(I am the last person to defend the state their roster is in), but bringing MAR up make that point is a bit daft imo. Johnsen's actual coach over the last three years now coaches the Crew, and dude has become a Norway Intl in that time.
