Going to briefly yes/and this and say Bouch’s goals added per 96 (ASA) was in the Top 15 based on his minutes, not too bad given: - He was hurt early in the year - The team attack was rebooted when his first striker transferred out in June

Not the first time he has floated this, though this time I imagine a few more people would help him pack

This week, @datacentersoccer.bsky.social explores sushi burritos in Alabama. Plus Eddy Davis III stops by to talk about his time in Leesburg, banter with Cavan and Frankie and Olympic gold medals

Cincy to win and BTTS, also +160, also sweat free

Ben Olsen will be coach in Houston for six years. Meanwhile there’s a nonzero chance DC United will be on its 4th permanent coach with 0 playoff appearances to its name over that same period

Meanwhile in the best league in the world

Orlando to win and BTTS at +160 was sweat free

I’ve been driving to dentists appointments, dodging tornados and seeing soccer games of a personal nature, but at last here’s this week’s @datacentersoccer.bsky.social with Abdellatif Aboukoura

Oct 12th - While working on a documentary, Steve Zisssou's best friend, Esteban du Plantier, was eaten alive by a "jaguar shark". 📽️📅 The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou (2004)

Recovering from an all day youth soccer tournament in doodoo weather and it’s wild to me that Loudoun is going to get almost 20 goals from their striker position out of 2 guys that won’t be there at the end of the year

This week’s guest-free @datacentersoccer.bsky.social recounts a wild end to Loudoun’s game and season; and spots a tiny similarity between both goalie goals at Segra Field. (Quick note that a Abdellatif Aboukoura chat will be available early next week) datacentersoccer.substack.com/p/episode-13...

Getting ready for next qualifying cycle like

“Air Jordan” to be used repeatedly @datacentersoccer.bsky.social and with cause thanks to this pic via the team

150 passes in the final third!

Second goalie goal at Segra; Joe Kuzminsky scored for Charleston in 2022, and Hugo Fauroux assisted on one in Colorado in 2023, Jordan’s USL nerdery sells this one

JORDAN FARR GOAL

Had a tiny break, but @datacentersoccer.bsky.social is back to chat about Loudoun United, we get some time with Rida Zouhir and urge people to live like that bastard PAC

Louis Munteanu sprained his ankle and is ruled out of Romania’s Nations League games against Poland and Sweden

lol

Minor quibble here, in that Color of Money is a Scorsese movie Tom Cruise happens to be in. A better choice of Tom Cruise movie that highlights his scene chewing of the last few years might be Doug Liman’s American Made (an underrated one imo)

Tired: DC’s been lapped by one DMV soccer organization… Wired: …and could be fully caught up to by another in the next 12 months

Nice try lads but I’m in the exurbs with no microphone for a reason

DC summer moves for Nono and Dozzell involved TAM Allocation money available dropped from $2.1m to $800k Initial confusion over Nealis having an option for 2027 but apparently moot

This week’s @datacentersoccer.bsky.social is a reader, as Loudoun’s loss to the Hounds is quick, “Abdellatif Aboukoura, distributor” could be intriguing, and “Al Pacino Lego Movie” should happen

Lotta Waffle Houses in Birmingham, security knew the assignment

Dude goes from seeing a trophy lift for the Shield next month to a race for 9th place, DC United are monsters

This week in @datacentersoccer.bsky.social I chatted with Jordan Farr about how he sees the MLS-USL competition differences, and we get into some names for the USL lovers out there

The Grim Reaper meme but for Steve Malik

That’s the good stuff

Switchbacks are Top 3rd in goals scored, Bottom 3rd in allowed, Loudoun’s bottom 3rd in allowed, how else was this going to go

You can drop an organizational context stipulation in all the live long day, but contrast Ben’s window comments now to the latter 2010s, or to his successors, for a fun experiment

In a slightly shortened @datacentersoccer.bsky.social, I talk with Sal Mazzaferro about his year and his professional tour of the South to look for brisket (he’s probably not doing this)

Of their 29 contracted players, DC United has five players on loan, a sixth on the injured list, and 4 homegrown players that have played a total of 43 minutes

Found the @usltactics.com analysis of the Battery game

This is going to go great

The thing is they can still clear money off the cap, and that’s OK (see below), but this front office, as comprised, doesn’t have and hasn’t earned the benefit of the doubt, ever since they thought Santino Quaranta would be an adequate 10 after a quiet offseason

DC offloading Caden Clark to Seattle and an international spot for combined pocket change with no inbounds? Cockroaches and Dave Kasper will survive nuclear winter

When a long desired podcast guest cancels on you with a couple hour notice

Sequels are apparently back on the menu boys

Here’s that Gabriel Segal update you were all waiting on

How DC’s summer window could have gone vs how it appears to be going
