How humiliating (for Italy)

Not to pile on Ezekiel Alladoh, who has been trash and a half this year. But my guy, don't feel the need to jump here

"If I didn't have the past I do with Atlanta United, then today I'd probably be fired," Tata Martino said through a translator

He's extremely animated in this press conference. Saturday felt more like a wake.

By scoring in the 90’+6’ tonight, Luka Gavran became the third goalkeeper in MLS history to score a goal joining William Hesmer on Oct. 16, 2010 and Danny Cepero on Oct. 18, 2008.

I assume either why the whistle hadn't blown, or whether there was an offside on the play.

That's how to blow it.

Cavan Sullivan and Malik Jakupović enter in the 82nd minute.

Ezekiel Alladoh has been on the field for six minutes so far, and touched the ball twice.

Yeah, this is the night where I surrender on questions about Tai Baribo.

Now Bradley Carnell really has some thinking to do. This team that prides itself on defense so much has blown a 2-0 lead, but has Cavan Sullivan, Ezekiel Alladoh, Malik Jakupović, and Jeremy Rafanello on the bench to try for a third goal.

Of course, the first sub to come in is Alejandro Bedoya.

Bruno Damiani just put a shot on target.

Gawk.

Enough grease on those two Flyers goals to power @flyersgoalscoredby.bsky.social's hair for a year.

He's not a striker...

A Philadelphia Union goal from open play?

The company has been the Union's main jersey sponsor since 2020, and will remain it through 2028.

The lack of two actual 10s will continue until morale improves.

Japan to host the 2030 Women’s Basketball World Cup, that should be neat.

A top envoy to Donald Trump suggested the swap to Fifa president Gianni Infantino and the US president, as leader of the country co-hosting the tournament, arguing that Italy’s four World Cup titles in the tournament's history justify awarding it the slot. ft.trib.al/ygbCcs3

As the NWSL expands to Columbus, Philadelphia could end up sidelined for a while It's unclear when the league will expand again after 2028, when Columbus and Atlanta will join. And Columbus' controversial use of public funds has set a bar that some cities might not want to reach.

Jessica Berman also lavished praise on Columbus' $50 million in public funds for its NWSL expansion team.

"I actually can’t think of anything more important or better evidence that the community wants the NWSL in Columbus," she said:

If images and video could start working again so I can show @jtannenwald.bsky.social that goal by Markus Anderson for BKFC, that would be fun.

He's got goals in consecutive games, which means no shutout for Danny Vitiello and a lead for @brooklynfc.bsky.social.
