But can he do it on a cold, breezy night in Albuquerque?

I've got a left-field name for the Coach of the Year convo: Eric Quill. The FC Dallas manager has given his team an impressive Plan A (quick transition attacking) and a capable Plan B (hyper-fluid ball control). Color me impressed 🔴 For @backheeled.com ⤵️

We stand in support with Rose Room Collective and its members and condemn abuse against folks participating to grow our game and make it more inclusive.

Rose Room Collective@roseroomco.bsky.social

What transpired last night, with one of our leaders being attacked, is an absolute all time low. This community has so much potential for good but the inconsistency in its treat and protection of black and brown fans makes us question why we’re even here. It has to be better than this.

Of course: Never a doubt.

Nicholas Murray@njemurray.bsky.social

Now, of course, New Mexico finds a way to regain the lead as Cullen Wilkerson gets his first professional goal. Overall, though, this has been another game where you're wondering whether United has enough to get it through the West playoff bracket without Kris Shakes standing on his head. #USL-C

Huh, we thought that you got a free foul once you had a yellow card. Guess that's only the case for Birmingham and San Antonio.

This is the line for endgame, right? #NMUtdxFlixBrewhouse

We love a well-organized and behaved line out here.

<hacker voice> we're in.

This is the churro line, right?

Before New Mexico United hired the manger and signing him to an extension, he met the club's future sporting director while working for Sacramento.

Chill mate, we can't even get PRO to get the offside law right. Now you want them to count to 11 (max players allowed on the field at one time)? or 9? or 6? or 5?

Brendan Kearns@kearns.bsky.social

Sure, but presumably, if this game happened in the US, we'd see Antigua get the chance, since the ball wasn't in a neutral position, at this point; unless the underlying training is different in the CFU than the US.

Aye, we agree. Can we get Haiti to replace PRO in our club's matches?

Nicholas Murray@njemurray.bsky.social

Stoppage time is always a minimum, not an absolute. Additional time can be added at the referee's discretion.

Guthrie “NCAA Soccer Jon Rothstein”

Oh, so you can end a game when the opponent has a chance to equalize but stoppage time has expired. PRO are gonna be pissed when they find that out. Ironic that it happened against a BHM Legion captain, eh @njemurray.bsky.social?

There is a way to express your displeasure with a referee's decisions in a way that is not secust. We are appalled that the CrewII organization did not include further touchline bans for their manager.

Eventually, we will need to have a discussion about when there was too much additional stoppage time added.

Anyone else hate-watching a Matt Corrigan ref-ed match?

Galactic Ambassadors@galactic-amb.bsky.social

Not to dog-pile on PRO and Matthew Corrigan anymore: Since he's currently scheduled to be the center ref in the Miami v. Pittsburgh match (in Miami); let's remember that time that the USL and PRO replayed the game from the 67' (heh) onward.

13 Sept

Sure things look bad for Lou City, right now, but this is a USL match someone should score 5 goals.

Alright, Soccer Peeps, it's time to mount up. If these freaks and grifters think that the soccer community will sit back and let them control the narrative, then they are ripe for a rude awakening. Soccer is for everyone, anyone with a ball. Keep this TERF shit away from our game.
