Picked the wrong day to wear my Te Vaka shirt. They currently have Samoan (and Tokelauan, Kiwi, Tuvaluan, and Cook Islands) members but no Vanuatuan members.
Anyone else watching the Caballo Dorado halftime performance for Tigres-Monterrey from San Antonio on estrella?

When playing it out of the back...... Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt’s u9 goalkeeper did this yesterday. 😂🤯 pic.twitter.com/cChC3kqwJI— Football Tweet ⚽ (@Football__Tweet) October 13, 2024
I only played in goal once. The coach was a no show so my dad coached for a game when I was 9 or 10. He put me in goal. I didn't allow any goals and I still had a couple. I was mad he put me in goal and still bring it up with him to this day. He says nobody wanted to be the goalkeeper so he didn't want to come off as biased to the other parents. What's your ruling on this one, @onefineesq? QUE GOLAZOOOOOOO pic.twitter.com/tQoaG5QKWP— Washington Spirit - x (@WashSpirit) October 13, 2024
Worth it for the future entertainment value of future signings trying to keep a straight face while announcing that they are leaving Arsenal to join BOSS NATION...I made several unsuccessful attempts while trying to distract myself from the USMNT match.
Sitting here on a very warm day in Soga, Japan watching JEF United China vs Ventforet Kofu. More updates here: Your intrepid reporter is on a Keiyo Line train to Soga for this afternoon’s @jef_united - Ventforet Kofu match. Updates to be provided here as coverage allows. Kickoff at 2pm Japan Time/11pm Friday night MT.— Jason Maxwell (@RapidsJason) October 19, 2024
Final score JEF United Chiba 2-1 Ventforet Kofu. Worst thing Kofu did was score to go up 1-0. Until that point midway through the second half it had all the makings of a bleh 0-0 draw. The JEF woke up and put 4 in the back of the net between the 70th and 86th minute (2 were scrubbed off due to offside).
For those of you who follow the Welsh Cup, which used to include Swansea, Cardiff and Wrexham, before they got booted out for playing in the English leagues, The New Saints beat Llangollen Town 16-0.
Luka Modric became the oldest player in Real Madrid history today. Two minutes after coming on he spoiler (Move your mouse to reveal the content) spoiler (open) spoiler (close) The winning goal.
I think this counts as a WPIOOTBGW: Sacramento concede a penalty while trying to pass the ball out from their own box. Defender underhits a 5-yard pass to a teammate still inside the box, who in the process of trying to keep possession, knocks down the El Paso attacker pressing him. El Paso score the ensuing penalty. Looked like a soft penalty to me, but why put your teammate in that position in the first place?
Seen in the Guardian's Knowledge column: Division 4 in women's football is crazy. Ängelholms FF went invincible and didn't concede a goal during the season and still didn't win the league. pic.twitter.com/bj4XtHGwPh— 🇸🇪 (@SwedeStats) October 21, 2024
Watching the Real Hope - Cibao FC Caribbean Cup semifinal and it looks like their stadium holds about 500 people...I kind of want to see Messi play there just for the logistical lols.
All eyes must be on Shrewsbury where The New Saints of the Cymru Premier League are leading against Astana.
My goodness: 🤩 They say a picture’s worth a thousand words 🔥 but seeing “El Monumental” leaves you speechless 🎆 STUNNING welcome for River Plate in the Libertadores semifinals 🏆#beINSPORTS #Libertadores #RiverPlate #River #GloriaEterna #ElMonumental pic.twitter.com/KvXFBQf4dP— beIN SPORTS USA (@beINSPORTSUSA) October 30, 2024
A full write-up of my J2 league experience at JEF United Chiba - Ventforet Kofu https://view-from-the-couch.blogspot.com/2024/10/j2-league-soccer.html
Bonus soccer in Laa Vegas. Unfortunately, it's bonus soccer between two teams that played to a drab 0-0 over 90 minutes. Between this and the MLS playoff games I've seen, I'm not sure how many minutes of soccer I've watched since I last saw anyone score a goal.
