  1. She was denied bond. Just seeing the news break, so more details soon. The more I’m reading this a load of hogwash. She’s been denied bonded in Louisiana where only the US attorneys presented anything. This has a little to do with her day in court in Vermont.
  2. This is smart. I’m shocked more teams don’t do this. https://amp.awfulannouncing.com/mls/games-linear-tv-fc-dallas-rewind-apple.html The Dallas Burn are showing their game on TV tape delayed. It’s something.
  3. Damn did Pulisic fuck Wynalda’s wife or something? He called him out. https://www.themirror.com/sport/soccer/usmnt-christian-pulisic-captain-1095056.amp
  4. I might ask how that would be amazing. That would just be: 1. Paul Mullin is 30 years old. He will turn 31 November of next season. Strikers notoriously start dropping off at age 28. His drop off isn’t surprising. I mentioned a few pages back. That doesn’t even consider that he’s never played at this level or higher where he’s potentially facing younger better opponents. He needs to find his form, but frankly, if they could sell him to a lower team/league, that would be the best way to go. Unless he’s willing to give them another hometown deal. 2. That’s just the nature of Soccer. Teams keep you when you’re useful. Get rid of you and you’re not. Sucks for Mullen. Everyone loves him, but if he’s not producing he, he’s not worth his paycheck. 3. I don’t think they should get Americans, they need to get the talent that fits what they want to do to win. If that’s American player so be it, but if it’s not then get the best that they can afford. 4. Finally realize should they get promoted next season their goal should be to do nothing but hold Pat. Making the championship with promotions and three successive seasons would be impressive feet. Holding onto that spot even more impressive.
  5. Yesterday was exciting - today meh. Both ties done by 65'
  6. I would argue both ways. Madrid doesn't look like they have it today and Arsenal is defending well. They are also keeping them honest with their offense having just enough punch.
  7. Wait - doesn't the UCL use semi-automated offsides?
  8. Have you never watched Madrid in the UCL? These fuckers escape death like you wouldn't believe.
  9. Messi is the greatest, sublime, beautiful! Messi is without equal!! Messi!!! Messi!!! Messi!!! And he's not even in the game. This looks offside BTW.
  10. Son has a foot injury - out tomorrow.
  11. That's what I like to hear

  13. Let's not forget about Rumeysa Ozturk who had her day in court yesterday (hits close to home as she was kidnapped about 2.75 miles from my house). The defense was a habeas corpus petition for Constitutional violations by the government. While the government did a lot of hand waving "wrong state", "our fault you didn't know which state, but doesn't matter" etc. https://www.cnn.com/2025/04/14/us/rumeysa-ozturk-arrest-update-tufts-university/index.html As noted over the weekend even the State Dept knew she had no links to any sort of antisemitism or terrorism. Her only "crime" was writing an op-ed in the student paper speaking out against the University's response to the Israel-Gaza war. https://wapo.st/4iouvuJ
  14. Given the way those ended, any way to make this go faster?
  15. Oh man that shot was solid if not for that deflection ...
  16. The OG was likely the backbreaker.
  17. Alasdair is not convinced anymore. He's wondering why Ange hasn't been fired - in this video he notes that Levy has fired mamangers that were in far better positions than Ange has the team in. Watch us make the Europa final, and fire Ange the week before the game.

  19. Talk about a case of "LITERALLY" needing to read the room.
  20. No disagreement with any of that. My main point is really a way to make sure you control your content while simultaneously being able to grow your site via something like Facebook, Twitter/X, Bluesky, etc. When you read the TOS, you realize that you are granting them a pretty wide, royalty-free, license to your material in a way that is very easy to lose control/rights to it (interpretation via Claude AI): If you just use links, you do a little work to limit what they get
  21. Because we also need it in Bluesky form
  22. Ever since I became aware of the Facebook TOS, I have seriously cut down on my posting to FB to a near trickle. Most of my posts are tags by my wife. I just don't like Meta having that much control of my content. For a site like Traces, I would be intrigued to see you could do a link that would provide enough information and a picture without making much of a post on FB proper. The big thing is that it would start to ween people off FB and over to your site, granted that would drive up your traffic and costs, but there is little question as to who controls your content.
