@richarddeitsch @SBJ If they were to get the rights again, I think a lot of soccer fans would prefer if they would choose a new #1 game commentary pairing.

@KalshiFooty BTW, it was not originally called “football” because you kick a ball. It was named that way to differentiate it from sports that was played on horseback. The aristocrats played games on horseback while common people played on foot (hence, football).

@AmFootballin I just want a good game, and hope our MLS ref does a commendable job.

@AndrewMarchand @PaulCarr @SebSB Looks like folks are getting caught up on the word “cable.“ Whether you use traditional cable or one of the streaming services that has cable channels (like I do), the point is that USA now offers more Bundesliga games to many ppl w/o need of paying for yet another app/service.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@AndrewMarchand @PaulCarr @SebSB With USA Network involved, that means a large increase in Bundesliga games on available on US linear cable TV over what ESPN made available. That’s a good thing.

@bwfast Well, the “air dropped” characterization is how most professional sports teams in the U.S. (that aren’t over a century old) were founded. And people still connect with those. It’s just how we do things. MLS’s issues w/connecting are far deeper and culturally specific to the U.S.

@FavianRenkel Make a pronouncement that the Philadelphia Union is being encouraged to seek new primary operator-investors.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@USMNTinEurope Off-the-pitch representation seems fairly low key. Balo has now made a name for himself in the U.S., so that makes sense.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@AmFootballin Union, which means most seasons it’s not all that exciting. Even when they win a bunch.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@Braylon_Breeze Fox is married to the idea that their lead commentary team, and the one that also covers U.S. games, must distinctly sound American for their American audience. I don’t see it as necessary, but that’s been their MO since day 1 of soccer coverage.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@jwriddle_ For the next three years.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@USMNTOtaku Gotta make sure we are ranked in the top 16.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@LUFC1992_v2 @hashtagutd @sedonsfc Today it’s about 20°F cooler in Philadelphia than it was that day, too.

@clipartfarm @jordanbpeterson @MikhailaFuller @petersonacademy @WesleyLHuff Until we realize how thoroughly Jewish the New Testament Scriptures are, we are going to continue to have people ask questions like this. So much of the NT is based directly on the OT and its theology—which lies in contradistinction to all pagan theologies of the Gentiles.

@yimbyman The Caribbean nations would never allow it.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@lesilly @Dadsaysjokes ¿Qué?

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@IanDarke @landondonovan You two should be calling the final.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@ThePSUTroll The previous crest inverted the colors and looked cartoonish. The new crest is clean.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@csett13 Should have given Philadelphia another game.

[Backhand @BackhandSkiing]

@SoB_Evan Iloski with an even better finish because the height of the ball in was a little too low.
