I have seen Mohamed Salah do unbelievable things and not win the big individual award so idk how people are still shocked. This is frankly the biggest modern snub.

Lmao Cathy Engelbert should be in jail

Barcola an absolute menace

A really fine use of the small window between WNBA Finals and USL fan appreciation game/World Series Game 2. I should be outside, but regardless.

Should never have had to use that challenge. A lot of officiating questions this game imo; that one was so, so clear. No idea how it was called for the Valks.

I love a good sentence in sports reporting. On the Valkyries’ struggle in game 3, shooting well only at expense of their defense. “Too limited. Too binary. A team that can do only one thing well at once, flailing against an opponent that figured out how to do whatever it wants.” Via Brian Hamilton

Film friends! I am happy to report that I've made a Letterboxd list of all the international submissions to the 99th Academy Awards for those interested. The notes have synopses, genre labels, and, where possible, links to trailers (though usually via MUBI). Enjoy! letterboxd.com/mariclmurphy...

Atlanta pls, Ludaceis is there

Manchester United funnier than I expected when I chose not to jinx and watch but veering once again into “they might fire the fella and hire someone who can fix it” territory, which I don’t love

I wrote about the Tommy/El-Sayed encounter, about pluralism, about democracy and about how evangelicals don't really buy into this whole "empathy" thing.

Rio almost did a Mo Salah just then you know

Oh thats nice you know

I would like to personally apologize for comments I’ve made in the past regarding my trepidation about Rio on the Right

That’s what Atlanta can do to a motherfucker. Good series incomingggg

Surprising takeaway is that it’s possible it’s City’s fault Spurs were a banter club and not just Tottenham. by @80couches.bsky.social via @liverpooloffside.bsky.social

Hard to overstate how grand this day is for me personally you know. Liverpool win, dog park in the cool fall sun, WNBA Finals Game 1, possibly a nice dinner, see Your Mother Your Mother Your Mother. And it’s virtual film fest season (NEWFEST).

Failing to stop myself from sing-songing “Sheeee’s baaaaack” as Allisha Gray opens the scoring in game 1 of the WNBA Finals.

How do Newcastle have 11 men on the pitch? This is wiiiiiild

So, so good when he came on today our Rio 💫

I wrote a thing last March about Premier League teams playing away after being away in the Champions League. At that point, they’d collectively won five of the 16 league matches. Make no mistake, today is a massive win for Liverpool.

No one under the age of 28 allowed on the ball should this situation ever arrive again, my goodness.

LONG DISTANCE SHOTS WITH A TWO MAN ADVANTAGE WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOUSE DOING?!

I would like some sensible play here in what will be the final 10 minutes. We’ve an extra man. Sensible play.

Barcola has looked great in every aspect but, yeno, scoring. Wonder if he’s one of them where one day they all go in and the next it’s none of them.

Can I shock you? I absolutely adore Rio Ngumoha.

Knew that was coming all day because the comms were on about how little Isak was involved in the game earlier.

Know not everything is in your control and whatnot but what on earth did those fitness test reports say

Was annoyed at the off-the-ball antics trying to get another player sent off, but I have to say I do enjoy a very well-taken goal.

PSG doesn’t affect my day to day the same way but I hope they get them as well yeno

Kind of PSG to do what we were incapable of at the weekend

Thank you.

Koumas use this time to learn about the offside rule I beg

Header from dramatically the smallest man on the pitch, very funny. That was in honor of Diogo Jota.

Actual Cancel Culture of a significant cultural figure [unlike where far right extremists engage in hate speech & are held accountable]. It’s extremism like this, & the disinterest of the current UK Labour govt in stopping the shift to the far right, that’s deeply worrying.

Wirtz benefiting massively from teammates actually doing something with the precise passes he has no right to be able to make

This is starting to feel a bit mean.
