Dad of 2, hubby to 1, dog dad of 1, slightly unhealthy obsession with Tottenham Hotspur, Atlanta United, AS Roma & Real Betis.

@JoePatrick I would not say no to an Almada return down the road, still very young and actually produced as a DP for us.

@tomrenniesoccer Didn't think it could get much worse than Sepp, but Gianni is in a class of his own now.

@RudolphN17 I've been dipping my toe in BlueSky and while it's not perfect, it does seem better than this cesspool.

Just know we always appreciate the updates and care about your mental health as well. No one needs abuse, ever.

Imaginez avoir aujourd’hui un Franco Baresi dans votre club. Un joueur qui arrive à 14 ans, devient titulaire à 18, puis capitaine à 22. Il devient l’un des plus forts à son poste, mais refuse de partir malgré deux descentes en deuxième division. Il guérit d’une maladie du sang, refuse toutes les offres qui se présentent à lui, se bat et fait remonter votre équipe par deux fois. Il vous emmène quelques années plus tard au sommet avec trois Ligue des champions et six championnats, entre autres. Il continue de rester fidèle. Il raccroche après deux décennies et 719 matchs sous le même maillot, rend le brassard et voit son numéro retiré à jamais. Il fête en 2024 cinquante ans sans interruption au sein du même club. Il meurt en 2026, à 66 ans. Comme son numéro 6. Il est célébré tant par ses adversaires que ses anciens coéquipiers. Il est admiré tant par ses supporters que ceux des autres équipes. Il s’en va sous les applaudissements d’une foule qui chante qu’il n’y aura à jamais qu’un seul capitaine.

@Talking_spurss I support Roma as well and had high hopes for him last year. Never looked the part and had a bad injury record. Him with our medical staff would be a disaster.

@vincefootball8 @USMNT @burnerusmnt @ussoccer @NewYorkLife @AmericanAir European teams playing in the Nations League, not able to play friendlies in this window.

Reminder, the only time Trump played a golf tournament where he couldn't cheat, the American Century celebrity tournament in 2006, he shot 52 over par in 3 rounds and finished in 62nd place out of 80 celebrities, then cheated on his wife with a pornstar

In a battle of last-placed MLS teams, Atlanta United conceded twice in stoppage time to turn what should’ve been a 2-1 win into a 3-2 loss.

This team isn’t salvageable it must be blown up.

[Joel Betts @joelbetts13]

@Ria_Martin Great reminder. I always try to remember they are very young as well, most in their 20’s. It’s a lot to handle at that age.

Neil deGrasse Tyson: “There’s an intellectual scientific vacuum that is descending upon the US and that has consequences. If you’re okay with the US losing its scientific leadership, you will get the country you voted for. That country is one where we will no longer innovate. We will be less secure, less healthy, and less wealthy because some community of people who influence what this country is do not see the value of science”

[Como1907 @Como_1907]

Como 1907 today confirms a new academy wide heading pathway designed to reduce avoidable head impacts, support player welfare and encourage better long term technical development.

The changes reflect a simple idea. Protect young players first, then teach the skill in a controlled way when they are ready. At the youngest ages, the focus will be more time on the ball, more decision making, more effective playing time and a clear pathway that builds confidence and technique step by step.

@SoccerwithDoug I've been wondering if this would happen at some point. Took my youngest to a 2's game earlier this year and it was absolutely empty.

Some of the coolest @MBStadium facts from the World Cup:

- 118,054 Coca-Cola souvenir cups sold, an average of one every 1.5 seconds that concessions were open
- 175,565 bottles of Dasani water, 44,763 burgers and 42,363 bags of popcorn served at the same fan-friendly prices offered at every MBS event
- 91% of waste diverted from landfill across all eight matches, including 407,560 pounds of composted material and 94,000 pounds of recycled glass and cardboard
- 8,500 pounds of food recovered and donated to Atlantans in need through Second Helpings Atlanta
- More than 800 pieces of furniture leftover from the tournament donated by AMB Sports and Entertainment to the Furniture Bank of Metro Atlanta and more than 3,000 pounds of fabric recovered to be upcycled into products by Atlanta nonprofit

The World Cup Final averaged 66.4 million viewers in the U.S. on FOX and Telemundo combined.

42.5 million on FOX. 23.9 million on Telemundo.

Other than Super Bowls, this is the largest sports audience since the 1994 Winter Olympics.

[Real Betis Balompié @RealBetis_en]

Just one month to go until our first LALIGA match of the season! 🤩

[Joel Betts @joelbetts13]

@TheWhiteHartWay Would love to join sometime. American fan for 20 odd years now, I spend way too much time obsessing about this club!

[Joel Betts @joelbetts13]

@Talking_spurss I support Roma as well as Spurs, Roma thought the deal was done at around 50 million, that is frankly insane. I thought 50 was overpaying, but 80. West Ham can't believe their luck, I'm sure.

[Joel Betts @joelbetts13]

@pure_romanista I'm a little scared he might just walk if we lost anyone else.

[Joel Betts @joelbetts13]

@Talking_spurss Would love him, think he'd do well under De Zerbi. But will Barcelona let him go with him being the hero of Spain currently?

[Joel Betts @joelbetts13]

@himothypriv Always appreciate your updates. 👍
