Dan Abrahams is a sports psychologist who has worked in the EPL.
I asked him what he would do to prepare Arsenal ahead of a match at Manchester City in an effort to avoid a collapse that is all the talk in global football.

Was nice to describe it as it happened on the New York City FC Radio Network 👇

Why bother scoring the first goal at Inter Miami's new stadium when the headlines will just lie and say Messi did anyway.
This is some supreme lower division soccer nerdery, but I finished engineering a mini Lego Al Lang Stadium (home of the Tampa Bay Rowdies in USL). Something I've wanted to do for years. These are just renders, next is actually building it (hopefully will round up the parts in the next few weeks).
Franco Panizo on Twitter: "After six seasons of attending every Inter Miami home match, my streak comes to an end this weekend. My credential for Saturday’s match was not approved. I’ll still be following closely."
These teams just want "influencer" coverage and PR. They shouldn't be able to get away with denying a long-term local reporter (reporting before Inter Miami even existed) accreditation for the first game at the new stadium, presumably because they don't like that some of his coverage is critical.
The real clash is between both of these kits and good taste
NEWS: The Denver Summit-Washington Spirit match drew an NWSL record 63,004 fans at Empower Field on Saturday.
