I understand not needing to break fire code but the only bonus numbers that should count are standing room only, etc. and not a watch party on a screen. Absolutely not an attendance record, even if all teams cook those numbers to some extent.

I know this isn't the most important story in the world, but apparently the Current are going through with claiming the people watching on a screen next door to CPKC Stadium as being in attendance. I'm not the boss of journos, but I think this is something where media should push back.

I can't stop watching this back. This is comedy. This is poetry. This is art.

Honestly in awe of Chelsea's ability to find a volume of Premier League level goalkeepers, but always selling/loaning out the good ones and sticking with absolute wildcards.

If I speak on the goalkeepers......

Aidan Morris scores for Middlesbrough one day after posting this. Obviously this means we need a weekly dancing vid to keep the streak alive. 🕺 #USMNT

Can I connect Joe Scally to the #USL ecosystem? Of course I can. He was a Long Island Rough Riders player and competed at the USL Youth Finals before joining NYCFC's Academy as a kid.

twitter is a lost cause obviously because it's a septic tank but i am begging the good people of bluesky to discern original work from empty aggregation accounts and spend your attention and time on the former, not the latter

As it should have been originally. Let the sporting experts make sporting decisions for their clubs. This isn't as good as just injecting the added money to the cap, but is better for the league

“All players are eligible to be designated as High Impact Players as long as 12% of their pay counts against the salary cap. That opens the possibility of 7-figure salaries to any player who signs in the NWSL, rather than the roughly 100 who qualified based on the league's previous guidelines.”

I talked to Frantzdy Pierrot after Haiti's match against Scotland and asked him about the atmosphere, seeing that he played high school soccer locally and completely forgot about how they had to travel throughout qualifying.

NEW: Concacaf announced that it had approved Haiti’s request to relocate their Nations League quarter-final leg against the US on 14 November from Kingston, Jamaica, to Miami in an “exceptional hosting arrangement”. Haiti last played at home in July 2021. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

"It feels like home in a sense, because we haven't seen that in a long time," he said. "We pretty much was playing with an empty stadium in another country. So seeing the stadium full of Haitian fans, it's really amazing to see the support."
