Geno had something like 2.5 seconds on average to get the ball out his last year in Seattle. If he had what Sam had last year, he wouldn’t have rocked it.

Tom Bogert@tombogert.bsky.social · 2d ago🔴 St. Louis City continued their unbeaten run to 21 games, setting a new MLS record. Yoann Damet: "I think this is one of the hardest things to do in sport at the professional level. There is a reason why it’s never been done before.”
Ale Bedoya's insight was spot on—this team's turnaround shows how small margins make all the difference!
Henry Bushnell@henrybushnell.bsky.social · 5d agoThree months ago, the Philadelphia Union were the worst team in MLS. Now, they're the hottest over 13 games *in league history* Huh? How? On the ☕️ café meeting when captain Ale Bedoya knew a turnaround was coming — and the 🪒 thin margins of MLS:

Someone's response was "I thought y'all wanted to keep men out of women's sports!" I actually thought that was pretty funny.
