We’ve been getting “big head” signs as each Forward player does spectacular things. Looks like this week, we’ll need to add Eddie and Claudel to our signboard lineup. (Special thanks to Amy at Bobs copy shop in Madison who makes sure we get the best image possible!)
Does Roman’s yellow in tonight’s @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social game mean that he’ll be out for our game on Saturday due to accumulation? ( I made a poster for him, but will bring it either way. ◡̈ )
I’ve been hanging out on Threads instead of Blue Sky of late but the #FAcup has brought me back. WOW. Macclesfield! Look at that joy. (Need to google what a “silkmen” is now.)
We shouldn't have to listen to Infantino, Trump, and Alexi Lalas in the same broadcast.
I had to mute the World Cup Draw pre-show. It was a narcissistic men propaganda festival.

We are putting our 14.5 year old dog down tomorrow and EVERYTHING is making me cry. Today's YNWA is going to absolutely destroy me. I don't even care if they win. Just love your people (and your dogs) as we walk through this life.

Thank you Mo. Sad he missed the penalty kick today, but I logged back on to twitter this morning just to like his tweet. www.cnn.com/2025/08/09/w...

Madison United won the Wisconsin Cup! 2-0 but WI Conquerors had some fast young players. Fun game to watch and bonus: I got to see my kid play again!
When the going gets tough, Swiftie soccer fans make bracelets. Stop by the Flock tent at tonight’s FMFC game for free stickers and bracelets and hope.

Never thought I’d agree with a sentence starting with “At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers…” but here we are. 20+ years later and the remix is even worse than the original.
Molly Knight@mollyknight.bsky.social · last yr.At least the Bush/Cheney warmongers went to Congress for authorization. Trump bombing Iran without congressional approval is illegal. Full stop. But he’s never been held accountable for any of the illegal things he’s done in his life so why not drag us all down with him
Sounds like quite a few of us got suspended from Threads today. I’ve been trying to interact less with Meta, so maybe this is a good thing…All I posted was pictures of the protest so I’m not sure why that is ban-worthy?
Airplane internet is awesome. Currently listening to @talkinflock.bsky.social with @spokanesoccershow.com and @robchappell365.bsky.social on our way to Spokane for tomorrow’s @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social game. First visit to Spokane- very excited!
When the camera panned to Jurgen’s big smile after Salah’s goal….😭❤️😭
It just seems like both Palace and Liverpool are filled with and led by decent people. ❤️⚽️. (Has anyone ever made a documentary about Palace? …Like “being Liverpool” (my fav doc of all time)
The Athletic@theathletic.com · last yr.Winners recognize winners 👏 FA Cup holders Crystal Palace and Premier League champions Liverpool each give each other a guard of honor on the final day of the PL season.
The good news: @meninblazers.bsky.social posted a clip featuring my favorite USL local soccer team! 🦩 The bad news: it’s this… (It’s over on Twitter. I refuse to link to anything on that platform)
So happy for Crystal Palace! (And now “Glad all over” will be in my head all day.)
😭😭😭 (and puts his post-game tears in such a meaningful context) - what a beautiful piece of writing. www.theplayerstribune.com/alisson-beck...

Ok. This song I don’t know. I love it but what is it?
Happy soccer players awkwardly dancing in a full stadium while the crowd sings is the best thing ever.
The soccer scriptwriters got this one perfect. #ynwa

Watching on TV, It feels like the entire stadium is singing their hearts out. (Joining in from my couch when I can. ❤️🥁🚩⚽️) #ynwa
As I’m watching #LIVTOT I’m wondering if @johngreensbluesky.bsky.social can connect #YNWA to Tuberculosis? (Also everyone should read his latest book “Everything is Tuberculosis”)
Tough @forwardmadisonfc.bsky.social loss but we got to meet a lot of awesome people from the @brickyardbattalion.com and argue over which is Peter Wilt’s favorite team…⚽️🦩
