As always I am open to commissions from US soccer outlets on how the #JLeague has spent 3+ years preparing for its transition to fall-spring.
You’ve probably heard that the MLS Board of Governors is meeting this week to discuss, among other things, a move to the “European” schedule. My understanding is that there’s no way that happens in 2026, but there’s a very real possibility that it could happen in 2027.

LFC cannot blame anyone but themselves if the Women's team get relegated. The club don't think it will make money in the near future, so they won't invest in it. The team is absolutely desperate. The only talent they have is Fuka Nagano and I'd be off if I were her. The club looks utterly bereft.

Britain is currently in the grip of war Christmas remembrance drivel because past governments had to explain why coffins were passing relentlessly through Wooton Bassett, and they couldn’t tell the truth. So, they lied.
I again observe: the average punter in 21st century Britain watched their government get scads of squaddies killed for no reason in Iraq and Afghanistan, crash the economy into the sun, deliberately lay waste to the public realm, fuck trade with Europe and turn politics into just nightmare racism

Brennan Johnson feels overrated to me. Forest got the better of the deal by using the money to buy Gibbs-White.

If you live in Britain, your experience of 21st century government has been relentless escalating calamities by ruling parties: disastrous wars, financial catastrophe, destructive austerity, plummeting living standards, soaring prices, unaffordable housing, constant lying and comical incompetence.

Fun that Mamdani is an Arsenal fan. It'll leave supporters wondering what it's like to be progressive, fun to watch, and actually win things.

The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Mamdani just cut a WWE promo on Trump, Cuomo, the Republicans, the Democratic establishment, racists, and right-wing politics in general. Basically called all of them shithouses and that they would not be allowed pass.
I am here for this. This may be the moment.

this is such a great encapsulation of why this race feels existential even to people outside NYC. Cuomo as the final boss of everything wrong with the current Democratic Party, Mamdani happily grabbing the third rails everyone’s told are too dangerous to touch (trans people, Muslims, socialism)
It's uncanny how Cuomo has been laser-focused at appealing to the absolute worst qualities in people - their insularity, their tribalism, and now their fear. A campaign monumental in its cynicism, a colossal bet by this man and his billionaire backers that people are basically bad.
This isn't a closing election argument, it's Vidkun Quisling explaining why surrender is better than resistance.
