I wish I could've been there, but the entire broadcast on AppleTV was fantastic, one of their best efforts from top to bottom. Great analysis, great interviews, great post-game wrap-ups. This is a match I'm watching again

This match has been thrilling to watch, chock-full of drama, artistry, compelling characters, a packed stadium, & a city I love in what feels like a historic moment in the Sounders' story. This win is so well-deserved. Leagues Cup champions! Grant would've written something amazing about this 💙💚
ROLDAMN!
Rothrock has activated the Smirkalator
I mean credit where credit's due, I guess
May Miami's visit to Rothrockistan yield a Leagues Cup for the Sounders #EBFG đź’šđź’™
Straight from the @sounderatheart.com Discord to the FO’s ears: Fans can trade in a Messi Inter Miami kit for a fresh Paul Rothrock jersey.
Whelp
Arsenal winning at Anfield for the first time in years would immediately clear up my Cold from Hell. Probably #COYG
In memory of those we lost. We grieve with you, and join the call to end gun violence in our communities.
The phrase "BERMAN OUT" is only 9 letters, and you all know 8 other people. At least one of them has a printer.
Why, what happened
Bless you đź‘Šâš˝
LOOK UNDER YOUR SEATS, EVERYONE!
I'm missing the Current match for the stupidest reason, but let's go, KC Current! #KCBaby
If someone is talking up big data centers, ask them to enumerate the public benefits. Ask them to state on the record that your energy bills will not go up. Look at the cities & towns where big data centers already exist.
Them: “Cities are all rotting hellscapes!” Cities:
A phenomenon I'm noticing more is ppl saying they asked ChatGPT something, & dear reader, I will always already think less of you if you do this, let alone say you've done this
Remember how if a kid choked on a little plastic toy they used to stop selling the toy
I don’t know who needs to hear this, but a “rainbow” is where you take the ball from behind you, flick it up over yourself and maybe an opponent. What Osaze De Rosario did was a sombrero, which is just flicking a ball over an opponent. I hope this helps.

You can’t be playing hide and seek with your own policies, man.
Hadn't seen Marlins Man for a while wish that was still the case

In Texas v Johnson in 1989 the Supreme Court deemed flag burning a form of speech protected by the First Amendment to the Constitution. No law enforcement officer is obligated to carry out a blatantly illegal order.

Yes! Glad to see this!
Next tifo pls
So interesting turn of events: The Stars hospitality lounge is adjacent to the elevator down to the press room. As I was waiting for the elevator, a handler opened the door for Berman to take the stairs. She saw me, and retreated back to the lounge’s elevator.
The Athletic report recapping Saturday's timeline is just one of multiple instances where NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman failed to care for player safety this season. Something has to change. New from me: The NWSL is failing to meet the moment. talkinsoccer.substack.com/p/the-nwsl-i...
Smart split-second decision & the eyes of an eagle
This is amazing
It's time. Berman needs to go.
Absolutely damning stuff here for the #NWSL as a league & for Jessica Berman as commissioner.
Take a listen, hear them roar, in numbers too great to ignore
Dang that’s crazy
Although I'm a STH, I didn't attend bcs I knew temps were forecast to be above 90°, which is my cue to stay home.
To make matters worse we never did get the cool shoeshine
And no, I have no idea what it means
They're killing the smart ones now
Outside Dupont north metro
I am sensing that the "we need more research into female athlete ACL tears!!!!!" discourse has reached the WNBA
Dear @nbcsportsoccer.bsky.social : We look forward to meeting you in person. ❤️🤍
I feel so vlbad for Red Shirt Mustache despite having no idea who he is, but whoooeee can I tell who the wronged party is here
Arsenal Arsenal Arsenal! #COYG
Love this!
Nothing you try will get me on the Gavin Newsom train, but props to his comms team/person.
We know we'll get an Official Statement about how important safety is to the organization, thanking whomever for whatever, & absolutely no policy shifts. No lessons will be learned
No. I won't attend matches where the weather is expected to be in the 90s
I now find myself in the perhaps it's time to explore other career opportunities period for Jessica Berman
Say a prayer, send good vibes, etc for the workers of CPKC Stadium. Have heard that their day started at 9am today. With kick off being delayed, they won’t be getting off until after 9pm today.
Watching fan favorites implore fans to stay in a furnace is actually a bad look
Yikes. And from a KC perspective, that's right around the #SportingKC kick.
This whole process today has been a lesson in mismanagement by the NWSL. I coulda told you at 10:30 this morning when I'd been out working in the yard for an hour that a 3pm game wasn't going to have a good wet bulb reading.
Current and Orlando personnel have been on phones livid throughout this whole delay.. the Longs have been on the pitch for nearly an hour at this point...
This entire thread should be essential reading for the whole of NWSL leadership. I don't attend matches where temps are expected in the 90s bcs I've experienced heat stroke once in my life & don't wish it on anyone. Fans were roasting during the heat deliberations today at CPKC Stadium. đź‘Ž
A moderate heat advisory has been issued for most of Missouri today, here’s the relevant section of the NWSL rulebook regarding today’s 3PM KC Current-Orlando Pride match. Real temp is expected to be 95 F at kickoff.
That guy can throw a sandwich at me anytime
If only that edge were realization & remorse

"You know, dating can construe a lot of things" made me howl; it's so illiterate & an important reminder of how deeply stupid so many of this crew are
It's oddly reassuring to see that Law makes mistakes

If my rights are taken away, as SCOTUS seems to enjoy doing to anyone not a cishet white Xian male, I don't think I should have to pay anything but a lower tax rate since I'll be a 2nd class citizen
Giving the impression of healthier economic conditions than we really have...worries me
What Have You Done to Incentivize Mark Cuban to Care About the Poor Today?
Bless you
He needs an incentive to help people whose lives are made worse by his existence?
Won't need to buy tickets for Chappell Roan!
Out my door in Kansas City tonight, the locusts have drowned out what had been a great music festival
👋🏽 Alexi
Had a lovely dinner at Nour's, followed by the most beautiful and unexpected conversation in the parking lot with the restaurant's owner. We talked & listened for 20, 30-minutes about compassion, atrocity, loving our neighbor as ourselves, fears, hopes, humility, & grace. All under a glowing moon. 🕊️
I can smell cooked Nelson from Kansas City, Seattle. We'll done, in all senses!
Moon, take thy flight
The rule about removing your jersey is designed to stop time-wasting. In neither Osaze’s (Thursday’s game) or Georgi’s case (last night) did excessive time-wasting occur. IMO, the rule either needs to be done away with or be less strictly enforced.
Caught feelings in Seattle. Until next time, my second home đź’šđź’™
Oh, I really hate that
Also GenX here. Our parents spanked us a lot. My elementary school, Highlands, had a wooden paddle hanging on the wall of the principal called "The Highland Fling."
Jennifer Marlowe on WKRP in Cincinnati was the most interesting TV character of the '70s/early '80s, the shrewd & caring anti-dumb-blonde. R.I.P., Loni. I hope Burt had a party to welcome you upstairs
It's really parked like that, perpendicular to the parallel parking
Things I Did Not Know
Let's get it, @goballardfc.bsky.social! Things are hoppin' at Reuben's. #UpTheBridges Oh, God, pun not intended
Good stuff from @danvaughn.bsky.social here:
Ha!
Awwwww! Maybe they were just giving him space
Charming & damp
Did the leftover friend provide any clues? It does seem strange 2 of them left for the same weirdly specific reason unless it was some kind of code word for something else (?)
I'm trying to imagine Gia performing at an outdoor sporting event. Seattle drag collective called TUSH w 5 separate performers, including Betty Wetter, is all I can find so far
Drag is a sport, darling. ✨
And what a spectacular match to attend!
I TELL YOU WHAT
It's glorious
Y'all, there is a full-on drag halftime show happening here at this Reign match
🥲
Meant to include a pic, derp
They did the W! #KCbaby!
