The future is a web of branching paths, and each choice opens up new possibilities as it closes others. This is as true for a civilization as it is for an individual. The more our collective intelligence can inform each choice, the better our chances of finding paths through to a beautiful future.

Quick shoutout to Tomiyasu. Full-backs are so pivotal to the system, and so many of the more interesting uses of them were trial-run with him because he's so flexible and smart: target man, 'roamiyasu,' half-inverted, etc, etc. We're still reaping the rewards. Fuck injuries.

Ethan Nwaneri is already better than many senior Champions League knockout stage players (including many of his own teammates) and he's playing his debut season at 17. It takes a special kind of talent to be this good in these circumstances

When people suggest that getting good at set pieces has made us worse at attacking otherwise

Look at his reaction to a ball that fell to him somewhat unexpectedly. Haha. I have reservations about the mechanics of a possible deal. I have virtually none about the quality.

In my opinion, here's what we should do if Nwaneri is the superstar we think he is, but we also have Saka/Ødegaard healthy and firing: celebrate

Even the celebratory moments this year have felt a little precarious, the good moments corresponding with some injury or bullshit or whatever. It’s nice to be reminded of what uncomplicated joy feels like.

For however much the modern world tries to get in the way, I will never forget why I fell in love with this sport in the first place: reading regulatory commission reports about banal incidents

Video games are good for the soul.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but videogames are meant for everyone, at every age.
