  1. Super last minute but I’m giving away my 2 tix that I bought a million years ago to Youth Lagoon at Antones tonight forgetting that my wife would be out of town this weekend and now I gotta be on full dad duty 😭 should be an amazing show for all you anti-Wilco dads out there. Was really looking forward to it, his new album kicks ass. anyway, LMK and I’ll transfer em to you FREE FREE FREE
  2. Finally getting to listen to the new album and holy shit it’s GASSSSSSS. Maybe the best since Trouble. Smoke Detector as the closer … damn they sound like Joy Division. Very very good.
  3. Oh also wanted to add that Cincinnati is a pretty cool place if you like that Midwest steel town aesthetic and culture, which I do. Seemed very Austin-y but with like 500,000 fewer people. The ease of moving through the city was awesome on such a busy weekend with Oktoberfest, FC Cincinnati, Homecoming, the Bengals, and it being a 70 degree weekend all going on. Unfortunately it’s in Ohio 🤷🏽‍♂️
  4. Went to Homecoming this weekend in Cincy. The National played 5 hours of music over two nights including front to back nights of: Night 1) High Violet and N2) Trouble Will Find Me. Some glorious shit. Bonus: reunion sets by The Walkmen and possibly the final show by Pavement? It was their last show in the reunion tour at least. Went to a fan meet up at Rhinegeist night before the fest and Scott Devendorf ended up showing up near the end of the night and handed out several cards for redemption the next day … I thought it’d be a print or something. But instead it was … A signed copy of their, at the time, unreleased surprise album Laugh Track. It’s out now on Spotify as if this morning and it’s pretty great.
  5. Name a better duo than “kneeling it out” and “on bamas own fukkkkin grass”

    Grabbed 3 in what we know as the supporters section, row 4, for $100 ea including fees and taxes. Not terrible, but $30/per ticket in fees is assault and I should call the cops.

    I think i heard somewhere, maybe Sirius FC, that they predict IM needs 23 points out of a possible 33 points (11 games) to make the playoffs. With fatigue being a factor (5 matches in the last 18 days, ), i think they'll fall short. Then again, I've counted MIA with Messi out before to my peril.

    i really like Cremaschi, I know he's been called for youth duty for ARG but I wonder if he has any interest with the Nats. Ah, i see he's been called by both

    this is on quality ass mf'in game. if MLS can elevate to this type of play on the regular, this league would be amazing, even for a selling/retirement league.

    Ive never really watched CL before the group stage, why are there 11 teams in this playoff and not 12?

    Dest playing LB, definitely not as effective going forward as on the right but he gets to hang high because rangers forwards all seem like ass.

    You CANNOT be serious. This clown had us playing a high backline with THREE defenders and all STL had to do was send a long ball 40 yards in the air like some 1990s scottish premier league team and have all three of their forwards run under it while cascante backpedals like an 85 year old man into his own net. Wolff got absolutely outclassed this game. STL high pressed us all game, took out our shitty midfield and then turn around and broke our lines like we were a squad of 6 year olds. Wolff set us up without a link up strategy KNOWING thats how STL plays. We started having stu STOP playing out of the back and just launching it 40 yards up the pitch ourselves, but stuver sucks ass with his feet so those either went out of bounds or again, past our missing MF. Wolff absolutely sucks and wouldn't last a minute if Rodo actually came from Manchester with his ball intact. Plus, he's the dipshit that signed all these spares. Fuck Wolff.
  17. I definitely care more about development then winning, but the clubs care primarily about winning bc thats how they keep their ECNL status. Lose too much and you get your credentials pulled. The club at my sons age has earned two ECNL teams, but they were worried about splitting the talent too much between north and south teams, so they shifted to one great and one really good team and practice in three locations per week. So, the American "winning culture" model is definitely encouraged by US Soccer and ECNL. MLS next might be a different story. I suspect it is because they are directly affiliated with a parent club. But talk about burn-out city with MLS next.
  18. the above are all indie approved pop, all are fantastic artists/songs
  19. Damn, Solar carries 19 girls (and two keepers) on their top team? That's crazy for playing time purposes, but maybe they've got something right because the training is where all the development is at anyway. 100% of those girls will at least play college even if they get Pulisic minutes for Solar U12. My son plays on the top ECNL team for his age for LSC (they went away from N/S teams to Red/Black) but I'm slightly concerned he won't be able to keep up the rigor before he gets to make a choice on his future with the sport. The women's developmental teams are still in good hands, IMO, even after the GA went away. American academies are really good for the women's game, better than the mens IMO.
  20. I'm a swifty and IDGAF. Tis the Damn Season and Cruel Summer are my jams.
  21. how do you not plop down the six bucks a month for peacock? Yeah, its a terrible interface and they need to also stream games that are live on network TV and they need a better toggling option between games, BUT ITS SIX BUCKS FOR THE PREM!

    you CANNOT teach size, speed, and effort but you CAN teach an elastico or a chop. This would be a great move if he plays.

    Robinson has been deserving of a move for a while, so thats cool. Not sure i'd wanna hone my defensive craft in the eredivisie tho 😬
