hey, @dwade.bsky.social from @tdik.bsky.social knows #MNUFC research. Read his words ⤵️
Put together some thoughts on the only player #MNUFC has been reliably connected to so far this window. TL;DR: McCowatt is Papa Johns of attacking midfielders. If it's easily available, I'm fine with it, but I'm not about to fight anyone for it.
Catch up with mostly non-Daves talking #MNUFC, Twoons -- as well as season wrap-ups for @mnaurorafc.bsky.social & @mplscitysc.bsky.social ! #MINvSD to be discussed at a laaaaater date.

Match 🧵: #MINvVAN Just about forty minutes to kick and we have the starting eleven for #MNUFC and #VWFC Two changes for the Loons with Jefferson Díaz & Mamadou Dieng replacing Padelford & Chancalay Whitecaps make a trio of changes; Veselinović, Sabaly, and Müller in for Ocampo, Caicedo, and Gauld

My god. The Heritage Foundation, which mercilessly attacked transgender kids in order to protect the "integrity of women's sports," is now attacking the legal basis for women's sports. The transgender student decision is barely 2 weeks old.
Rooks vs the Rookery! let's go, Crows!
🧵 MATCH THREAD Crows at Rooks in the regular-season finale. One point will see Minneapolis qualify for the 2027 U.S. Open Cup, as the top-six League Two division winners (based on PPG) receive berths. Three points and City is awarded the league's regular-season title. #EDGvMIN | #MplsCitySC

So my center ref + ARs assessment of Salmon Bay FC vs @mnaurorafc.bsky.social, is that they are calling it both ways, but they are too reactive on "player falls over after contact" without questioning specifics.
Women's sports are here to stay. Don't fuck the haters. They don't even deserve a smile.
It has probably happened before, but it is certainly not common for the two largest stories on the front of the Sports section to be for women’s sports.
Food analogies FTW! #ESPBEL
I don't usually do this, but I'm going to share my analytical breakdown of today's match-up between Belgium and Spain. First off: Moules frites vs gambas al ajillo. An excellent effort from the Belgians (which surely would triumph over many strong opponents), but in the end Spain wins handily.
