    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Yeah, if you only showed the replays of near misses and posts to a casual fan, they'd be convinced this was a 4-3 game.

    Still Not the Super League: Champions League 23/24

    Both teams have missed golden opportunities. Uncontested shots inside 10 yards. Both over the bar.

    U11 Soccer - Coach's Kid Being Prioritized

    The experiment with the goalie taking the PKs has come to an end. I'll give our goalie a lot of credit, her goal kicks and defensive-half free kicks have really improved. It's rare we play a team who has a keeper with the leg to drive the ball into the air like ours. My kid is taking the...

    Whitey Herzog dead at 92

    Matchweek 33 - In which I can’t come up with anything

    The PL record is 5, held by several players. Might as well go for it.
