Dropping my tepid take before my NWSL preview this week:

I think the Current will be mostly fine.

KC are closer to the pack now but there’s still too much talent to fail.

He's scored 6 of LA's last 8 against STL, it's incredible

I do need an Alajuelense kit in the worst way

LAFC are about to have 85% possession

Alajuelense score on what might be their only shot tonight

Denis Boanga has played over 4200 minutes across all comps in each of the last three calendar years. Incredible consistency.

I can't make up my mind

Where does a team branded polo rank on the manager drip index?

Sitting in the sun room as the storm rolls in, feeding Arlo, watching a banger of a match between Monterrey and Cruz Azul, this is the good stuff.

These coaches don’t value chance creation if it comes at the expense of the structure

AmΓ©rica scoring first is not going to help

Probably better odds

"Spurs are unraveling."

I wonder if they were ever ravelled to begin with...

No rules in the Meatwall. Ban VAR.

Victor Osimhen’s contract is outrageous until you remember that he’s a player who can win you Champions League matches

LAFC didn’t rotate much last round, will be interesting to track if they continue to start the first choice XI now that fixtures are congesting past the first month of the season.

Great night for ConcaChamps:

Philly host América - Union need a statement performance and Las Águilas have not been their usual selves.

Monterrey hosts Cruz Azul - Rayados are winless in 4 vs CA, who haven’t lost in 11 matches.

LAFC hosts LD Alajuelense - LDA won this leg in their 2023 series.

I've a thread here from last year on the history of teams from Central American and the Caribbean having issues entering the US for Concacaf continental competition. This situation for Mount Pleasant can be added to the list. Seems FIFA just ignored these warnings. bsky.app/profile/jdna...

Preview
Mount Pleasant v LA Galaxy: Ten players from Jamaican side refused entry to US for Concacaf Champions Cup tie Jamaican side Mount Pleasant will be without 10 first-team players for their Champions Cup tie against LA Galaxy after they were denied visas to enter the United States.

This comes on the heels of visa denials for 8 members of Team Cuba’s WBC staff.

Concacaf needs to learn its audience
