Promising progress & several very good individual performances. Particularly impressed by Tessman’s confident play & more of Arfsten rewarding Poch’s patience. Win vs a very good SA side & w/out 4 big names is significant. note: Balogun’s selfless 69th min recovery run 🫡

The Diplomat S3 (NFLX) - Continues to excel when it gets into its most frantic gov’t babble, only to reveal it’s actually a relationship food fight. nits: peaks too early & having to wait till early ‘27 for S4. Oh, do not ever say “vigorous” during sex. (B+)

For 30 years no one up north gave two squats about those of us down here having to sit in 100°+ summer days/nights, sweating sacks and watching games run at 1/2 speed.
Bundle up - It’s y’all’s turn. 😆

two things can be true: MLS moving to tv was the best option on the table, and the separate MLSSP paywall was problematic. Fixed. This has always been an experiment, MLS - the guineapig. Now it, & F1, get rolled into tv just like Ted Lasso & we can enjoy games in 1080p.

Love these vids and how they give a peek at the personalities of players and their relationships. BUT, I’d love @ussoccer.com to include names/clubs of who’s onscreen and not assume the viewer knows who each player is.

The calendar flip is a long debated topic. But, word of a format in both regular season and playoffs is interesting. MLS could generate a LOT of interest if it integrated MLSNextPro's "Pick your Opponent" into any playoff format. US Sports Media and fans would gobble that up.
MLS owners are *expected* to vote on flipping to fall-spring calendar at Thursday's BOG meeting. Changes to competition format also expected.
Let's see if it actually comes to a vote, but implications are enormous.

demo'ing City Hall would be our local gov't version of trading Luka.
Lamster | It’s difficult to steal a building, and even harder when that building is made of poured-in-place concrete and roughly the size of an aircraft carrier. But that is precisely what is happening to Dallas City Hall.

Our very own Andy Swift is about to attend his 30th consecutive MLSCup (yes, all of them). He's part of a very small and exclusive group, celebrating this milestone which will happen on 12/6. 🫡 very cool achievement for all involved! www.socceramerica.com/attending-ev...

Hey P1's - with the ongoing collision of Ticket programming obligations, the show has been 'on the bench' - so, because you want/need your soccer-talking, @peet2 & @larssivertsen.bsky.social rtsen combined forces to review the week's UCL fun & preview a bit of the PL weekend.

Black Rabbit (nflx) Most of the “Golden Age of TV” has been spent watching characters make bad decisions. This series not only sets the record for number of bad decisions, but stews in & is empowered by their juices. It helps, though, to like the antihero. Not here. (C)

House of Dynamite (nflx) - GenX already experienced 80’s Hollywood and culture's obsession with nuclear war ("Would you like to play a game?"). It’ll be interesting to see if this popular but poorly structured & frustratingly told movie starts another trend 40yrs later. (C+)

I’m almost certainly the ONLY person on Earth, who last night watched Bugonia and then the FCD playoff game - back to back. the more I think about it, the similarities between the two, are batshit wild.

Bugonia - Going in, I’d imagined an ending & turns out, it wasn’t close. Lanthimos menacingly slow-cooks the story of "Is Emma an alien" for 4/5ths of its run time & then violently spills it into an ending which hijacks your focus from Stone & Plemons’ great work to "what?" (B-)

Slow Horses S5 (tv) - You know a show is great when its new season is arguably its 'worst' and you still enjoy every minute. Sure, it’s full of Jackson Lamb clichés and once again we wonder how MI5’s doghouse saves the day. Like Roddy Ho, don’t care. (B+)

Invasion S3 (tv) - what began in S1 as a unique way to tell the story of aliens raiding Earth, by S3 has devolved into a mush of plot holes & clichés w/ zero payoff. Might hold record for most (clunky) single-teardrop speeches in tv history. bummer. (D)

Task (HBO) - not a crime show as much a story about family; the nuclear, broken or biker gang kind. Also not exactly the story you’re probably expecting but as it oddly plays out, hits a range from dark to sweet. Tom Pelphrey & Emilia Jones

Only twice have I ever cried during a live song performance, and once was D'Angelo's performance of "Sometimes It Snows in April" on The Tonight Show after Prince's death.
D’Angelo, the neo-soul trailblazer and modern visionary whose three albums were all heralded as classic works of art, has died at age 51.
