When @ak_rodgers sent me the photo of that sad fish on the @StarfinderFound turf I was in shock. No prior Manayunk floods have ever troubled us. We are working hard to recover and get back to providing Philly’s kids with access to the beautiful game. Thank you for your support.

This year's IASIP podcast fundraiser will benefit @StarfinderFound, which was hit hard by this week's flooding.

Water from the Schuylkill River came into the facility and damaged the new field and locker rooms. There's a layer of mud and some fish on the pitch:

I'm not the most patriotic person, but I find it so easy to get behind the #USMNT.

The squad today features Dutch-Americans, Mexican-Americans, English-Americans, random guys from small American towns.

The epitome of the diversity of this country & that should be celebrated.

A week from now, Tim Ream, 38, will captain the USMNT at his second World Cup.

Four years ago, he'd "made peace" with never getting to one (and had planned a family vacay to Disney World).

This is the story of how, as he aged, he made himself invaluable: https://t.co/oSdcMg16Hg

@Kevin_Kinkead The globe is full of examples of cities who improved themselves in connection with big events like World Cups, Worlds Fairs and Olympics. If anything you could argue we haven’t done enough.

@HenryBushnell @socceramerica Bravo! Grew up on @socceramerica in the 1970s and 80s.

[Henry Bushnell @HenryBushnell]

With the World Cup near, I wanted to tell the story of soccer in America.

The best way to do that?

Through the eyes + words of the people + magazine who've chronicled every stage of its growth.

So, a feature, on American soccer and @socceramerica: https://t.co/CsAok5Ky8A

[Alex Seldin @PhilSoc8]

This is much better than I expected. Saw the critique re not focusing on Gio-gate but there is a ton more behind the scenes stuff than I expected.

Philadelphia has really stepped up in a big way and shown a lot of folks how things get done when all stakeholders work collaboratively!
Huge kudos to @margaretkane, the entire @FWC26Philly team, @Eagles, @PhiladelphiaGov, and the many others who have helped make this possible.
