‘Ted Lasso’ fails to go all-in on women’s soccer, leaving behind its own ‘Believe’ mantra

my wife bought a no spill straw bottle for the baby but the straw is really hard to suction so the baby hates it, so now I,,, an adult, am using this no spill straw bottle to drink water
keep having extremely literal dreams. was in the office making a slide deck about a current issue. No whimsy, nothing that couldn't work irl, no inception architecture. Feels like a betrayal of the dream state. I should be flying away from a metaphor for my relationships, not clicking "new slide"
idk what it is (jk i know what it is) but occasionally when i meet someone and they ask what I do and I say NWSL and "women's soccer league" they suddenly become unable to picture a pro sports league but with women. asking "so you travel to other cities? but you don't play other countries?" dude.
when my doctor asks me if i'm getting enough sleep drinking enough water getting exercise or taking a multivitamin
the pain of clicking "senior" when shopping for your pet's food
just need to document somewhere that I spent one (1) hour helping my wife chase a rabbit out of her garden because it was some kind of elite generational athlete and it was juking us like those sportscenter clips of a small child demolishing their peers at flag football

My wife who normally only watches the WNBA sat down for France-Germany and after about 80 minutes let out, "You think France should be good but they're not. It's like self destruction."

how are both these teams insistently trying to shove an armful of cash to each other "no no please i insist" "no you" "no you simply must" "no i couldn't"
again, i am fully in the basement and my wife is on the 2nd floor other side of the house
Waking up my wife at 4 AM by talking in my sleep and going "Boo this man. BOO THIS MAN!"
between this and the liberty/fever game what a great day to watch women's sports - and there's still way more games left today???

Last 10 minutes of #UWCL I legit stopped having allergies, it was like I had finite room in my body for feelings and anxiety superseded all else
went to my fav local burrito spot, said I'm getting 2 things, 1 burrito and 1 side plantains, guy pulls out 2 tortillas and starts filling them, I'm like oh sorry I wanted 1 burrito, he says oh you don't want the 2nd burrito? ...no give me the 2nd burrito. this is the opposite of a problem.
It's the season where when the moment you start the car and move, a S H E E T of pollen shakes off of the car
watching Lily Yohannes play is just so enjoyable in the way that you watch someone who is clearly like, at one with their craft. like when you watch an actor with verve or charisma or whatever you wanna call it, that feeling of magnetism
I ate an incredibly good spicy turkey on focaccia sandwich today and I can still smell it even though I cleaned up and it's making me want more sandwich, anyway if this is my biggest problem today then life is simply not that bad
She’s baaack! ✨ Washington Spirit remove midfielder Croix Bethune from SEI.
Missed connections: if you were at copley around 9 am today and were wearing a fur-trimmed black cloak you rushed past before I could say that cloak is sick as hell and I hope it didn't drag in any of the T puddles
Ji So-yun eating cake on a sofa bewildered that no one could think she was a traitor in Cloak & Crown is truly a vibe
TBS has brought up more than once that the #USWNT was told not to jump. That's the respect Japan gets both from team-wide technical ability, but also how smart they are at reading what's coming & tricking opponents into stepping at the wrong time.
Jason Anderson@jasondcsoccer.bsky.social · 2y agoJapan is doing a great job so far of moving the ball quickly enough, and into the right spaces, that the #USWNT can't set up a press. Spending a lot of time in a 442 midblock, which is generally the fallback when the press isn't on.
