Matt Freese genuinely just made one of the best double saves you’ll ever see.
Can't stick your knee into a guy running past you. Not allowed.

Just in time for the WC final: the first primary WGCF research in five years! I wrangled StatsBomb's open data and 100+ hours later, we learned how strategies for scoring have evolved since 2018 for four tiers of countries. The article focuses on the Top 25% and Bottom 25%. More to be shared. 1/
The Men's World Cup Final is here, and with it goes a very fun tournament. But how does it compare to World Cup's past? @jamonm.bsky.social tells us Where all those Goals Came From using some @statsbomb.com data www.americansocceranalysis.com/home/2026/7/...

Listened to the National's High Violet twice through this morning for the first time in a few years, and fuck me, is there a more perfect album?
