Konsa fills a gap on the squad but my goodness, that's an awful lot to pay for a 28-y-o defender you plan (hope) to move to the bench in 3 or 4 months.
Question asked. And now answered by the Union. Welcome back, Mark McKenzie! #DOOP
Sturm B.@sularus.bsky.social · 3w agoAny chance the Union will still bring in another CB in this window? I like Harriel a lot as a supersub who can fill in anywhere on the back line. I like him a lot less as a starting CB. #DOOP
Total dominance by the Union outside of the penalties (1 of which was total bullshit). #DOOP
Jonathan Tannenwald@jtannenwald.bsky.social · 3d agoFinal: Union 3, New York City FC 2 at Yankee Stadium. That was pretty stunning.
A Bruno double, however, is a different story.
Sturm B.@sularus.bsky.social · 3d agoYou never want to pull a double Bruno. #DOOP
I'd like a panel of referees to explain to all fans how the Cruz Azul play was NOT a handball, but somehow this one is. #DOOP
Matthew De George@sportsdoctormd.bsky.social · 3d agoI do believe Indy asks, 'what am I supposed to do there?' and I honestly don't have an answer
But we locked up Vassilev through 2028 w/ a club option for 2029. So it all evens out. #DOOP
Jonathan Tannenwald@jtannenwald.bsky.social · 3d agoBénie Traoré's $10.1 million transfer fee is $1.5 million smaller than the Union's entire payroll.
That penalty kick was a source of infinite shame. Shame on Pierre for a needless takedown. Shame on Traore for a grade-school series of stutter steps leading to a weak shank. Shame on Blake for somehow not getting anywhere close to stopping it. #DOOP
Until Quinn's ready to play 60+ there's not much reason to change this starting lineup (except maybe someday they might let Malik play a few minutes). Considering all of NYC's injuries, it would be very disappointing not to get a result tonight. #DOOP
You could really blow Ruben Amaro Jr.'s mind by letting him know the #Phillies have actually been pretty great hitting w/ RISP this season. 2nd best overall in the NL, just barely behind the Dodgers. And much better w/ RISP than their overall hitting numbers.
Community Shield is not a trophy. Community Shield is a pre-season match with a marketing campaign. Having said that, beat the cheaters!
Well, this brilliant tactic clearly rattled Nashville...
Ben Wright@benwright.bsky.social · 4d agoLike they did in the first half, Miami taking their sweet time to get out on the field. Nashville players out, the countdown clock is well past expired, and the crowd is booing. I get they have names and all that, but it’s pretty lame.
I know he's his own island and all, but is it a coincidence that multiple Messi-led teams have zero class?
It should never be called a penalty if it's against Luis Suarez.
This would be an appropriate level for Pedro Neto. He might even thrive there. He's shown he isn't EPL material. ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/pedro-n...

And just ten minutes later, the announcer is saying, "Oh dear, oh dear, Mosquera really should be embarrassed."
Sturm B.@sularus.bsky.social · 5d agoOh, right, that no-class punk Yerson Mosquera is in Championship now. Keep dropping down, buddy.

That's not even a remotely serious bid, so there shouldn't be any issue here.
David Ornstein@david-ornstein.bsky.social · 5d ago🚨 EXCL: Gabriel Martinelli camp tell Arsenal winger has no interest in joining Galatasaray. #AFC received €45m bid from Turkish club & open to trading if suitable offers arrive but #Galatasaray not on agenda for 25yo Brazil international 🚨 @theathleticfc.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/751...
So what I'm gathering is there's no terribly compelling reason for me to catch this Union game that I missed tonight on replay. #DOOP
But when Reijnders just sold for 61M, there's no way you aren't expecting considerably more for Martinelli.
Flâneur@flannyballs.bsky.social · 6d agoI would probably move Gabi Martinelli on (he’s great, it’s just time) and I think Galatasaray’s offer seems ballpark reasonable if we aren’t going to sell within the Prem (and I’d rather not).
The #Phillies Ruben Amaro Jr. talks nonstop about how important defense is, but also doesn't trust WAR because it makes JJ Wetherholt, a slick fielding 2Bman, look like a more valuable player than Sal Stewart, a medicore 1Bman. Also JJ Wetherholt has almost hit as well as Stewart, but... RBI!
Pedro Neto wouldn't even be a Top 15 player on Arsenal's roster. He's barely even a real winger. His real position is: track star. What has he ever offered beyond running really fast? He's not a starter for a side competing for a title or even competing for Europe.
Julian Carranza, please stay at Subaru Park (for the next few years)... #DOOP

Cavan scores on a clever little chip from Indy. And Alladoh sets the screen, perhaps inadvertently just by standing still. Play to your strength! #DOOP
