    A plus for Marrufo is that he doesn't seem to have gotten the hang of VAR.

    Has anyone heard an update Lawrence's injury? Agreed, it was very scary to see.

    For those of you dissatisfied with the current DCUFO leadership, but you always said "yeah, but who could we get to replace Tom Hunt, et al?", read this (below).

    Gee, yeah think Nashville will adopt the attitude "the SGs make up only 1% of our revenues-- so screw 'em"?

    Wanna bet Nashville's SGs will get safe-standing in their soon-to-be Kop?

    Nashville may not even get a team at this point.

    I think the franchise award was contingent on the stadium location and that is now in doubt.

    There was supposed to be a vote by the council on the location and it was deferred at the last second as a Mayoral election progresses.

    Great.
    We'll take Ian Ayre off their hands, then

    It just drives me nuts: we are/were willing to spend $17 million on a player who turns 33 in October. If we were to spend that much on a new CEO with top-six EPL (!) experience, it would be worth every penny. He'd hold Ben's and the players' feet to the fire, he'd be in charge of new player signings, he'd develop a "vison", he'd understand the value of game day atmosphere.
    He did all that at Liverpool, for goodness' sake.

    Unfortunately it was a white fly among top European leagues, and honestly only this year since in recent years Serie A was done by february. It's the big problem of these leagues, there are one or two super teams that grab it all, and for the rest only crumbs. In other words, the game on the field may be really good quality but the overall is terribly BORING.

    White fly? Is that like a square meatball?

    Not sure what a square meatball is but probably so; although meatballs are not born in nature, flies are instead. ;)

    Hamid won the Danish league with Midtjylland at his first attempt. The only catch is that he sat on the bench for the whole season.

    Anyone with the imagination to use "a white fly" as an example of an uncommon occurrence (I assume) surely could envision the rarity of a square meatball. While not a product of mother nature, certainly one of human nature from one daring to flaunt convention.

    Wait, how in the holy ******** did Poland, a team that hasn't made it out of the group stage since 1986, get a 1st seed in the World Cup?
