Charlie Kirk assassinated at an event in Utah (by a 22 YO groyper)

Yeah, but the Reichsadler on the flagpole is a nice touch. -
The destruction of America's public education system

Or another 20th century -ism that was notable at the time. -
Please tell me you guys aren't going to Chili's.

To clarify, this is in exurban Tacoma, about 45 miles outside of Seattle and on the bleeding edge of MAGA rural WA. It's an area of low population permanence due to being right next to the huge Joint Base Lewis-McChord. I'm very glad they found this punk and will be quite interested in what happens going forward with his case.

Roldan doesn't even play the same position for his club now as he did in his previous USMNT stint. He won't make the side, nor should he, but if you're using MLS players this window why not roll him out? This summer alone he's been a stalwart against the UEFA club champs, the CONMEBOL club champs, the CONCACAF club champs, the defending MLS and Liga MX champs, and Inter Messi. He'll go into coaching whenever he hangs it up, and my guess is he adds more to the side off the field than on (Weston McKennie said as much during Roldan's last USMNT appearance). Now, if he appears in many more open (non-MLS only) windows, then we have a problem.

My favorite Nepalese restaurant in Seattle is called Annapurna; then again, we know our mountains here. Dammit, now I want some momos too. Even the yak ones aren't bad.

We in Washington state stand in solidarity with you on this one, Texas.

Nah, they have a functioning court system. Bolsonaro out front shoulda told ya.

So, his "business partner... was promptly notified and arrived to oversee his care?" Wow, if there isn't better proof that nobody in your life actually gives a shit about you, I don't know what it would be.

Schmetzer is a good guy; we grew up a block from each other (he's a few years older; I played with his younger brothers). His dad played in 3. Liga in Germany and was our select coach growing up; they also ran the only serious soccer gear store in town back then. Very happy to see Brian's ongoing success in his/our home town. He is an underrated coach who - like the team - prioritizes the international game and competitions on a budget 1/4 that of Miami or LAFC's.

lol no doubt! Rothrock is kind of a cult figure here because of exactly what you point out - he's a journeyman with a limited skill set but a bulldog; he's also from Seattle as were 2 other starters (2 others went to UW). Head coach Schmetzer, very tongue in cheek, pointed out earlier in the week that, yes, "they have Messi, but we have Paul Rothrock." The team, even more tongue in cheek, offered fans with Messi jerseys a chance to trade them in for Rothrock ones. Pretty sure they didn't actually have to provide any.... 🤣

Fucking Suárez. Great match; I was there and in the corner where this took place after (although from the front row in the upper deck didn't see the spit). Miami player threw a (light) punch and hit Seattle's Vargas in the face; a couple of other punches were thrown after by Miami players but I don't think they landed. TBH other than the spitting it looked like one of those goofy baseball "brawls". At halftime a Miami bench player tried to mix it up with a Sounders staffer as they were leaving the pitch; no idea what that was about. At any rate, fun match in front of 70,000, and an Argentinian #10 did end up winning the tournament's best player award. It just wasn't the guy in pink.

I was happy to see this, especially as someone with interests in Portugal. Portugal's far-right Chega party made substantial gains in the election earlier this spring, and has forced the governing center-right PSD to move further to the right. President de Sousa has consistently vetoed bills coming from the far right and sent them off to the Constitutional Court. It is heartening to hear him take a stand here as many larger and more powerful European states are still pussyfooting around the obvious. As an American I have always been treated extremely well in Portugal, and Portugal has a live-and-let-live culture that makes this a very unusual statement. Força o presidente de Sousa!

*klanner ... but SB, we'd be relegated back to the Pac-12 again! Oh, wait, nevermind. I can live with that.
