Nice to contribute to @theguardian.com's weekend MLS talking points, looking at Hirving Lozano coming off early & what a long-term injury could mean for expansion San Diego FC. Nice stuff from the team as well on Messi, that goal in Chicago & King Zaha. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

The Houston Dynamo gave away free tickets to a future game to make up for Lionel Messi not being there. You can view that cynically or charitably, and in either case you'll be a little bit right. That + some other #MLS talking points from the weekend: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Here's a sad stat for you this morning. Announced attendance for #SportingKC last night was 16,277, that's the 1st home opener non-sellout since 2007, the last year at Arrowhead (yes the opener sold out all 3 years at CAB).

‘I spent 12 hours a day for 16 months with Gene Hackman – but never met him’: The Conversation’s Walter Murch pays tribute

submitted 3 days ago • 2 comments

Gene Hackman dying seems a good time to tell you that Sam Raimi made a western called The Quick and the Dead, absolutely every cool actor is in it, Hackman destroys in every scene as the Big Bad, and for weird reasons 1995 America decided it was bad and erased it from memory

Watching beach soccer, where almost every goal would be considered a certified banger in regular soccer, which counterintuitively makes it less awesome to watch.

I always liked that it was heavily implied that Gene Hackman's character in Enemy of the State (1998) is the same guy as his character in The Conversation (1974). Not only is it great "all movies are in the same universe" fodder, but very representative of his incredible, varied career.

Some quick thoughts on USWNT 1, Japan 2: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

submitted 4 days ago • 1 comment

There'll be a lot of overheated takes, as there always are after a #USWNT loss, but this is the best performance from one of their opponents in years. Outstanding structure, just a remarkably intelligent performance from every player Nielsen put on the field.

Japan is just incredibly good, y'all. Even a full-strength USWNT would have had its hands full.

Japan's reading of the game, player-to-player, is just off the charts. Even on eye-popping plays like that Campbell save, they're always thinking about the next thing. Awesome to watch.

This sent me on a journey. • '93 v. Japan was USWNT's 78th game ever. Today's is No. 758. • 19-cap player in '93 = appeared in 24% of the team's all-time games. • 51-cap player today = appeared in 6.7% of the team's all-time games. • US has 16(!) players to have appeared in over 25% of its games

But he was there. He was there in 1994 for Fabio Capello’s first and only Champions League title. He was the first guy playing Busquets before Busquets. He was there in La Masia with Lionel Messi. He was there.

"Maybe the brand, such as it is, has been built, and the players sense innately that no amount of interviews or late-night talkshow appearances will move the needle for their sport any longer." Great piece by @leanderalphabet.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Making sports predictions is dumb. They're way more likely to embarrass you than anything else. Yeah, I did some MLS predictions. @jonarnoldfc.bsky.social, @grahamruthven.bsky.social and @joeclowery.bsky.social did too. They are ironclad. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

At this point, playing through the cold is as endemic to American soccer as the MLS salary budget and constant long-distance travel. Could Messi handle it? Take a guess. (Or just read my piece) www.theguardian.com/football/202...

As with so many Messi goals, you can try and find fault with the defending here, and there probably is some (why is Thommy matched up with Messi in that situation, etc). But it's mostly just a great play by the best to ever do it.
