Just watched the Sounders get dog walked by the Timbers… I’m admittedly a casual MLS fan, but what happened? Is Seattle too broke to afford players now?
They used to have some dudes. Clint Dempsey, Nico Lodeiro, Obafemi Martins, Ozzie Alonso, etc. Where’s the talent now?
🚨 EXPOSÉ: Trump's teleprompter operator placed over a dozen bets on Trump's speeches, making over $100,000 in profit.
This is the 4th individual in Trump's White House who has been caught insider trading.
First @SoundersFC Home Game since World Cup.
First since they asked season ticket holders to sign up for next two seasons.
….and they turn in their worst performance in MLS franchise history?
Portland! wins 5-1.
Brutal.
God, where to start? At a time when England and the very idea of Englishness are being co-opted by those who seek to divide us, here came a team that briefly, ever so briefly, quietened the noise. A team that could represent all of us, and show the world how we want to be seen. Hard-workers, grafters, fighters. No fetishised nostalgia or cynical isolation or flag-shagging patriotism were needed to love this team.
We loved, and continue to love them, because of who they were in the toughest of moments. So, remember Atlanta, hold the memory of that pain close, but don’t forget how you felt when Anthony Gordon feathered in from Morgan Rogers’ cross, or the electricity of Jordan Pickford flying through the air to make a save, or the indomitable, towering presence of Elliot Anderson. Don’t forget how close we were to a first World Cup final in 60 years.
Thank god for Jude Bellingham. Thank god for Harry Kane, Djed Spence, Declan Rice, Bukayo Saka, Dan Burn, Jordan Pickford, John Stones, Reece James, Eberechi Eze, Kobbie Mainoo, Marcus Rashford, and Nico O’Reilly. Thank god for each and every member of the squad and the fans who travelled and paid those extraordinary prices.
There is so much wrong with this country, and so much that needs to be fixed and that is beyond fixing, if we are truthful with ourselves. But remember the Azteca, remember Norway, and remember the moments when these boys made anything feel possible.
Remember how they made you feel. Take that with you. That is what it means to be English.
I remember when getting a consensual blowjob was enough to warrant an impeachment. Now Presidents can pay out $5M+ to the victims they raped and no one fucking bats an eye
