That dummy from Bruno for the 4th goal is unreal awareness.
Folks hate on Bruno so much, but there are maybe 5 players on the planet who can do the things he does AND run as much as he does.
Irreplaceable. #MUFC

Every ICE officer should be required to identify themselves as such for the remainder of their lives.
Every job they apply for, every CV, every dating profile — should proudly exclaim — ICE Agent.
GOP members believe ICE is righteous, so this should not be controversial.
Celebrate them forever.

I don’t report on American footy anymore, but folks involved with the NASL/USSF trial; both sides are confident they’ll win.
All I know, for sure, is that the next 3 weeks will be embarrassing for Gulati, Rocco, MLS and (smaller degree) USL — specifically the way USL operated 2012-2018. 🕰️
