I am not a fan of the Best of 3 series for a multitude of reasons, but I do enjoy how much the clubs hate each other by the last match.
Good genesis for organic rivalries.

Cavan looks different than even than U.S.'s best players on the pitch.
Processing the game at a different speed. Once he's physically mature enough if he's going to be a difference maker, and it may be his brother's ACL tear that opens up that opportunity for him next year.

COLD from #CavanSullivan 🥶
The 16-year-old hits a penenka on the Tajikistan keeper to give the #USYNT the lead. He also added an assist to his game with Nimfasha Berchimas’ first half strike 😮💨
3 goals and assists in two #U17WC games for the Philly Union wonderkid!

Give these guys a follow and bully them into making this their permanent home. Twitter sucks.
So…were suspended from Twitter. Not sure what we did but we are working to come back.
Who knows, we just might take up permanent residence here!

Democrats are currently ahead in 63 (!!!) races in the Virginia House of Delegates.
If this holds, it would be one of the largest state legislature swings in the last 4 years.
Its an absolute bloodbath for anti-trans Republicans.

LFG! Love this hire for the Revs, who have an underrated pipeline and should embrace a more bottom-up strategy.

LEVEL UP: LILY YOHANNES 🤩
Lily Yohannes is beginning to make a name for herself since making the move to the #Lyonnes. Including a massive goal in the #UCWL 😮💨
Her dynamic play has earned her minutes in all three US games in October. Does she have a chance of making the #USWNT squad for 2027?

Excited for St. Louis City with that hire.
Would be a really fun club to have consistently competitive in the league, and hopefully a place that leans in to its soccer heritage (and less in to Bundesliga 2’s).
