The consequences of media failure. From a relative in the US (and no, she’s not one of Trump’s “coastal elites”): “Feels like I’m watching everything bad happen and we’re all just going about things like nothing is wrong…It’s absurd to watch history try and start repeating itself.”

A private citizen, with the backing of the President, illegally shut down a major government agency over the weekend and it is not on the front page of this morning's New York Times @peterbakernyt.bsky.social

Bradley Carnell has arrived as Jim Curtin's replacement at Philadelphia Union. What do we know about Carnell, his style of play, and the current state of the Union roster? A full breakdown of Carnell and the current state of the Union: tacticalityblog.wordpress.com/2025/01/13/a...

It should be an actual rule to have a one-paced run-up that always starts from behind the penalty area. Stuttering = indirect FK to the defending team. I'd also add that the player that wins the penalty has to take it. If it's a hand ball then the taker is the last to touch it before the foul.

Spoke on Khusanov in the summer as one to watch at the Olympics! (That was the last video on Just Another Football Podcast before shifting to Arabic content) Strong tackler, covers lots of space very quickly. Exactly what City need. More incl. Bard, McGlynn & Almada👇 www.youtube.com/watch?v=b4D2...

Imagine we wake up tomorrow to Trent, Virgil, and Salah signing pre-agreements with Real Madrid.

Ratcliff's part-ownership of Man United is a solid 0/10 so far.

You are looking at an Egyptian being the greatest player to ever grace English football competition.

i recall a time when using a private email server was the single greatest scandal in american history. i guess today’s it’s just tuesday www.politico.com/news/2024/12...

Pretty amazing that after their botched broadcast Tyson v Paul they're still getting rights to other sports left right and center.

My answer to every one of these instances will be "well what did you expect?"

One of the dumbest VAR decisions you’ll ever see in your life.

- Get VVD on the right side of defense and sub Szoboszlai for Endo - Outswinging corners are a bad idea most of the time - Weird weird weird game, probably not much chance of coming back here, I'd take a point

He was only fired today??

I saw someone say maybe they should get an open play coach đź«Ł

The casual Islamophobia that's come out of the Sam Morsy and Mazraoui stuff really sucks.

Mohamed Salah has now played exactly as many games for Liverpool as Thierry Henry did across his legendary eight-year stint at Arsenal. And the numbers are remarkably similar. Up there with the all-time greats 🇪🇬👑

FSG not offering contracts to Salah, Trent, and Van Dijk yet on December 5 is one of the massive permanent stains on their time at Liverpool. It's nothing less than negligent.

3-3 at Newcastle is fine btw. I'm just reeeeally dreading Saturday now.

Absolute football club are Bodø slash Glimt

I can't wrap my head around buying Mamardashvili, still. Obviously increadible GK and that's why it's so weird..

Man City’s non-penalty big chances in the Premier League and Champions League. For the first time in the five seasons, they concede more than create in a time window of 10 games

There's nothing positive that can conceivibly come from not giving Salah a new deal. Too old? Will earn too much? Neither of these things can be true because he's been Europe's best player this season. The negativity is so unnecessary at the start of this run of games, on top of TAA and Virgil, too.

This is the 2nd time ever a team has had this big a lead at this stage, and that was 31 years ago Pundits are still gonna come out and say they back City I don't see how we don't win it from here and frankly, if we don't we should collectively pack it in as a football club

I read a tweet before that there are certain managers that keep playing "good football" regardless of their teams' quality or ability to do so, so that they can get better jobs in the future because their football looks "pretty", "progressive", "attractive" etc.

It's pretty astounding to me that so many people are so dedicated to making the world so much more dangerous, toxic, and unjust place to inhabit. We've been conditioned to just call that "politics".

There is a Premier League title to be won.

The "bluesky is an echo chamber" think pieces that keep popping up really tickle me because they show how certain people genuinely believe social media should be for debating and arguing and not talking about the things that make you happy and sharing art with the world.

I got a Wordpress site where I have some of my âš˝ analysis work (written, videos, collabs): tacticalityblog.wordpress.com Now I'm considering moving to Medium. Anyone know how I can move all of my stuff from Wordpress to Medium? Is it even possible?

People who voted Trump deserve what they get I suppose

Seeing as Pulisic did the Trump dance, I think it'd be totally reasonable to ask him post-game about how Trump's policies would directly harm many of his teammates and their families

Did I nap too long and miss the 1st half of USMNT vs Jamaica? Yes I did.

Introduce yourself with 4 footballers

"Here's what the law says" "The Constitution does not allow it" blah, blah, blah. Did that ever matter when someone who committed treason is now president-elect?

My picks:
