(1) The call by VAR that negated Josh King's goal was incorrect.
(2) Chelsea were given too much time at the end of the second half.
(3) There were two obvious fouls by Chelsea in the lead-up to the handball call on Ryan Sessegnon.
(4) The nature of these calls smacks of malfeasance.

One of my pet peeves: When you punch 90 seconds into a microwave and it immediately converts it to one minute, thirty seconds.

Men In Blazer’s constant shilling for Wrexham is insufferable. If they weren’t a decent place to find football news, I’d ignore their existence.

If you want a really interesting, scrappy USMNT, call up a whole truckload of USL players. These are guys who have something to prove and they'll run through a brick wall.
I watched Portland Hearts of Pine vs Detroit and the quality was third-division but the energy and effort were unbreakable.

By the way, MLS could have been a legitimate league before Inter Miami became the Barcelona Retirement Facility.
There were a couple of years when it was interesting and now you've got Marco Reus and Olivier Giroud and the Miami lot and it's all kind of shit again.

Now you've got European-based players who play a billion matches per season and are absolutely gassed trying to show up alongside a bunch of trust-fund nepo-babies who rose through the ranks of US Soccer because their parents had money.

You know why the USMNT had some success occasionally in the 2000s? Because no one gave a shit. There were no expectations. The English establishment so thoroughly thumbed their noses at the likes of anyone not named Tim Howard that you had a bunch of guys scrapping for a reputation.

It doesn't matter if you play the European-based players or the MLS-based players. Until the United States soccer system stops being a pay-to-play endeavour, the team is going to be utter garbage.

I know @ms518.bsky.social is appropriately woeful of the Orioles season. Good lord, what a mess.
But has anyone heard from Rockies fans recently? Are they ok?

The Peter Jackson Lord of the Rings trilogy was an absolute masterpiece.
And I’ll never forgive him for screwing up this scene. It could’ve been one of the iconic moments in films full of them.
Instead we’ve got Gandalf defeated, his staff shattered, and Shadowfax meekly trotting away. Shameful.

Marco Silva is in the top three Fulham managers of all time.
If he could keep his teams off the beach past March 31, he'd be at the top of the list.

Fulham have lost four of their last five and have looked like they can't be arsed to be out there anymore.
European football is a fading mist, evaporating in the sun of whatever beach each player is heading off to.
Maybe it happens with two wins and the right results otherwise. But is it deserved?

It’s really funny that conservatives are like “this pope supports immigrants and doesn’t like gun violence” as opposed to what they think Christianity should be concerned with which is having more white people in Honey Nut Cheerio commercials

The Department of the Interior posted about their appreciation for Small Business Week. This is happening at the same time they're jeopardising those same small businesses by offering logging and mineral extraction on public lands to the highest bidder.
