Citywide elections in Boston are officially nonpartisan. Top two in the mayoral primary advance to the general, so he’ll be on the ballot in November for sure.

I understand this is intended to be helpful, but it contradicts both the City of Boston and Boston Police Dept., both of whom explicitly encourage calling 911 to report fireworks.

It’s very close, but Conte Forum is in Boston. Lower Campus is Boston, Middle and Upper Campuses are Newton. The city line runs along the hill there.

Let’s hope he’s not probab-Lyon the bench.

That slot was always going to Miami, it was only a matter of how credibly FIFA could concoct the alleged “qualification” basis.

IMO, it rightfully should’ve gone to Philadelphia Union, the highest ranked US club in the qualification rankings. But that was never going to happen.

Only exception to 2 per country limit is if more than 2 from that country won its continental championship. This is why Brazil has 4 teams in.

Every club that won its respective continental championship during 4 year qualifying period (except OCF, which only gets 1 slot.) Additional at-large slots for UEFA (8) & CONMEBOL (2) based on 4-year cumulative performance. Limit 2 per country, hence Liverpool out.
