Las Vegas
AV Alta

@KaylorHodges People buying less Jägermeister strikes me as a sign of economic optimism. Gotta be pretty depressed to drink that stuff.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Better in the second half but should have made more of the chances. Louisville were held to just 1 shot on goal in the entire game, which should have been stopped.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

First half followed a familiar pattern: high press and possession early, then backing off and defensive mistakes.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Bryce in for the absent Phanny. McIlhatton on the bench.

Sometimes the old news is the best news. Congrats, Raz!

[Birmingham Legion FC @bhmlegion]

From the USL to the Bundesliga. 🇩🇪

Congratulations to Raz on signing with SV Werder Bremen — a massive achievement and a testament to the work he’s put in since arriving in Birmingham.

Watching our players take the next step onto one of the biggest stages in world football will always mean something special to this club.

Proud of you, Raz. The journey continues.

The stream dropped with about 15 minutes left, but Legion WFC beat Asheville City 1-0 this evening.

They are 4-0-0; only West Seattle Rhodies are better at 5-0-0. 7-2 in scoring with 3 clean sheets and an 11-point lead in the South Central division.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

They sure are. Asheville were expected to be the team to beat in the South Central division but drew 0-0 at home with Swarm in their only game so far. Big game today though.

FYI, it's Tatum Borman. Taylor Borman played at Samford 10 years ago and is a coach at Austin Peay.

[Kaylor Hodges @KaylorHodges]

Don’t look now, but your 3 Sparks are sitting at #4 in the @USLWLeague power rankings.

The next match is TOMORROW at home in The Valley at 7pm vs Asheville City SC.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

So, on top of @bhmlegion losing last night, my family's home team @WestHam was relegated today despite winning. Great. And that's not what hammer down is supposed to mean.

That also means WHU will play @bcfc twice next season. I'm going to be a house divided all by myself.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

No words.

[The Football Forge @FootballForge]

Not sure what Heaps was pissed about. It should be his team's performance. Best chance of the half but overall not good enough.
