It's August, the transfer window is open and I don't really feel like writing about Leagues Cup, so if you have something FC Cincinnati related you're curious about, drop it below and I'll try to get to it in some form this month
TIL that the Philadelphia Union lead MLS with 101 shots from outside the box and they've scored none (0) of them. Maybe chill out a little bit?
time for an Austrian Bundesliga-esque league split format instead

next day bump for some takes on a team entering leagues cup off a really solid performance

putting Darlington Nagbe in my @futi.live MLS Centurion Sicko Mode anyways even though I'm sure the model doesn't like him, but in this instance, I'm right, it's wrong

Bouncing Back
FC Cincinnati bounced back from a disappointing Hell is Real to put in maybe the team's best performance of the season en route to a 4-2 win over the San Jose Earthquakes. Here's what looked better:

I find the Ken Griffin of this whole situation baffling.
Jonathan Tannenwald@jtannenwald.bsky.social · 2d agoKen Griffin offers a statement on Mauricio Pochettino's return: “I’m thrilled he is returning in an expanded leadership role and am proud to support U.S. Soccer’s efforts to advance the sport and inspire the next generation of players and fans.”

someone needs to start a change dot org petition to get Taylor Flint outta Louisville. (sorry, Louisville fans)
Justin Horneker@hornekerjustin.bsky.social · 3d agoThere's a Superstar tier of NWSL players this year; everyone over 3.0 goals added in ASA database tracks well with who we perceive as the NWSL's stars: Bethune, Banda, Chawinga, Wilson, and Rodman. Then, there's clear ROY Jordynn Dudley (2.60 g+) Then, the next tier +1.5 g+ and hello Cece Delzer.
The Wave shithousing a win over the last 30 when they were totally dominating worked, but not exactly entertaining
The Washington Spirit since July 3 (30 days) W vs. Houston W vs. NC L vs. Gotham W vs. Boston W vs. Denver W vs. Utah ? vs. San Diego That's a whopping 7 (!) games in that stretch, AKA a game every ~4.3 days on average
Almost like one of these teams played midweek in Mountain time and one didn’t
Pavel Bucha, welcome back to central midfield. We missed you.

best performance of the season by FC Cincinnati, and I'm not sure it's particularly close
that was an absolute banger from Evander, but Angus Gunn seems bad? Weird signing.
it’s a lot easier to have a good defensive performance when you’re not pinned in your defensive third. FC Cincinnati enjoying that tonight despite conceding a set piece goal. (@futi.live data)
FCC coaches watching hours of screens for Steph Curry before drawing that corner up
with his cameo against the Crew, and then early tonight, this is the best Bryan Ramirez has looked against legit competition in a FC Cincinnati jersey
oof Chicago getting one touch in Louisville’s box every 13 minutes isn’t going to get it done.
what if the answer for Bev Yanez isn't moving Taylor Flint to center back, but it's moving her the other way up the field to play center forward?
The only creative industry that is inarguably both doing well and doing great work right now is "new baseball guy names."
Bobby Nightengale@nightengalejr.bsky.social · 5d agoJhomnardo Reyes is going to the Orioles for Dean Kremer, per source.
going to write something I didn't think I would ever post: I don't want to see my preferred NWSL team face the Utah Royals in the playoffs
