I believe he grew up in an abusive home in KC so his mom packed up and left when she could and they started a new life in Colorado - part of which is why she was going so far out of her way to make his dreams of playing soccer come true. Glad that the Rapids were able to be a bright spot in Ford’s path and I wish him nothing but the best moving forward…. And in any game not against the Rapids
A tale of two tweets….compare Acosta’s dig at the club “CO pushed me out” compared to Fore’s goodbye: I want to take the time to thank the whole @ColoradoRapids organization for everything they have done for my family and I over the last 5 years… Through a number of ups and downs both on and off the pitch, the #Rapids96 faithful stuck by side. Couldn’t be more grateful! 🙏🏽 pic.twitter.com/w16aTpk3jA— Kortne Ford (@KortFord) January 15, 2022 Man I wish we were able to keep Ford. I’m sure he’s gonna do great at KC

Weird headline but this is a Cole Bassett article. I doubt that Kroenke actually worked this loan like they suggest but I wasn't tracking on Arsenal's connections to Feyenoord. Kroenke helped Arsenal take midfielder on trial, now he’s reportedly set to join Van Persie (hitc.com)
Down 1-0 in the 85th minute at the African Cup of Nations, Sierra Leone only needed a draw against Equatorial Guinea and won a PK. Then... Kei Kamara's penalty is saved...! Oh no— Ed Aarons (@ed_aarons) January 20, 2022 Sierra Leone lost 1-0. I hate to say it, given that Kei is a great person and I was rooting for him and Sierra Leone, but seeing his PK's for the Rapids I'm not at all surprised at this result.
Here's the PK at the end of the clip. It was pretty well hit by Kei, huge save by the keeper. Hope and then heartbreak for Kei Kamara and Sierra Leone in the country's first Africa Cup of Nations in 26 years. With a chance to send his side through as a third-place finisher, the longtime MLS star has his late penalty saved 💔(via @ESbeINSPORTS) pic.twitter.com/BvvNh5QHzI— SI Soccer (@si_soccer) January 20, 2022 Comoros, in their first ever ANC, get through to the knockout rounds in Sierra Leone's place.
It sadly gets worse for Kei Police are currently protecting the home of Kei Kamara in Freetown, Sierra Leone. Fans are angry after he missed a penalty today in #TeamSierraLeone defeat to #TeamEquatorialGuinea . The angry fans moved out to attack his house. pic.twitter.com/Wu8prNSOwK— T.

Josh Gatt starting his coaching career: Former #USMNT winger (albeit briefly) Josh Gatt returns to his home state of Michigan to begin his coaching career. He will join the coaching staff of the Michigan Wolves - part of MLS Next. https://t.co/SZk4GZQauM— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) January 21, 2022 Always liked the guy, and last I heard his wife’s cancer diagnosis seems to be doing better. For what it’s worth, Gatt is from Michigan so I’m sure it’s nice for him to “go home”

I love when he says: "Only team in the league without a sponsor and we end up finishing first." That pretty much says it all. Kroenke be damned!
After this weekend's international break the next 3 Feyenoord games are on ESPN+ on Sunday mornings. Including next Sunday (the 6th) where Feyenoord will have their cross-town derby with Sparta Rotterdam, who recently signed Namli. That game is at 4:15 am MT, the other two are at 6:30 am MT.

So uh, I put this in the wrong thread. If a mod could move it to the preseason thread that would be much appreciated! Thank you
While I was watching Celtic vs Rangers and shoving off very important work, Vines and Royal Antwerp were having a bat shit crazy match in which they won 2-0. Kortrijk vs Antwerp- Sam Vines starts- Kortrijk only 4 subs, no Reynolds- Antwerp suffer 9th min red- Antwerp score 19th min- Antwerp suffer 61st min red & penalty- VAR overturns both- Kortrijk suffer 68th min red- Antwerp score 90th min, 2-0- Match aborted, fan violence— Brian Sciaretta (@BrianSciaretta) February 2, 2022
