Jamie Dettmer over at Politico did a good long look at Hungary and Soccer: "Trump’s Favorite European Strongman Is in Trouble. Soccer Explains Why."

But I maintain that that stadium is far from "stunning" but a kitschy monstrosity.

Bodø/Glimt beat Atletico, Man City and Inter in this year’s #ChampionsLeague. And the story behind this run doesn’t involve a sugardaddy. Freddy Toresen has seen the last decades there up close. Very close.

Idk. That’s a bit meta.

USL emails players about union resignation procedures as strike looms The email, sent to all USL Championship players, includes an ‘FAQ’ section on crossing a potential picket line

Soccer AND a strike? Right up my alley…

What do Tottenham Hotspur, Ajax Amsterdam, Bayern Munich and Austria Vienna have in common?

Why is he not more known in the US? I even forgive the Newcastle jersey in West Ham’s stadium

I mean, bigger clubs have lost to Bodø in the #UCL

#crystalpalace fans returning from #Bosnia, who have gotten interested in the country, it’s football and it’s history might enjoy a listen this weekend:

Liverpool F.C, a Global People's History: Alan McDougall on his new book - The Assistant Professor of Football: Soccer, Culture, History.

5 seconds of shamelessness:

This episode had more listeners in its 1st week than any other this season.
If only 1/3 of them would rate/star/review The Assistant Professor of Football on Spotify, Apple etc., it would do A LOT to algorithms and reach - and quickly. Please consider!

Thank you

Europe Could Kick Trump Where It Hurts: The World Cup Soccer chiefs may control Europe’s real anti-coercion instrument.

"While they may not be household names, people like Spain’s Rafael Louzán, England’s Debbie Hewitt and the Netherlands’ Frank Paauw may now have more leverage over Trump than the European Commission with its so-called trade bazooka."

The former Lehener Stadion in Salzburg, where the pitch and some terraces remain as part of a library and housing development.

Mad to think Sporting Lisbon were beaten here. You can stand on the terraces of @austriasalzburg.bsky.social's old ground in Lehen as they’re still there @gollnerphilipp.bsky.social #svas

I mean, bigger clubs have lost in Bodø

Back from skiing.
Not in #Salzburg or #Austria - but you can travel there today.

You'll just need to swap the skis for a ball, and trust our alpine guest professor, Stefan Wally.
