Selling my 84 Nissan 300ZX 50th anniversary edition! Turbo, 66k miles, car is an 11/10 mechanically and cosmetically. Hate to see it go but ok to the next project. $25k OBO - DMs are open. Too many repairs/features to list.

Important to note that, so far as we can tell from our reporting, this investigation is centered on the players, not necessarily Austin FC Academy itself or the broader organization.

New, on @us.theguardian.com - Austin FC’s academy is under investigation by Austin police and the FBI for allegations of sexual abuse amongst its players. Reporting w/@anabnos.com: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

“Andrés Iniesta once said that the moment the ball sat up for him in the 116th minute of the final in South Africa in 2010, he heard the silence. Maybe Torres heard it too; maybe he heard history call.” @sidlowe.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

“By the end Argentina had become what so many observers pegged them to be in the first place, sometimes unfairly: underhanded, dirty and desperate.” @mlsist.bsky.social: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Hello from the World Cup final.

this was a wonderful thing to read while I’m wandering around the nerd con with this guy pinned to my lanyard 🐶⚽️

NEW: Arsène Wenger believes the new system for youth soccer development in the United States will need to be consistent, accessible, and thorough for the men's national team to make strides. "It’s not a short-term fix.” Reporting w/ @mlsist.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Book publishers: Give me the 1200 page Anthology of Weird American Soccer History by Pablo Maurer

That’s a motherf***ing lede right there. That’s how you open a narrative. Hot damn. Incredible stuff from @mlsist.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/football/202...

"The player is in bed with a ball, he’s having sex with a ball, he’s everywhere with a ball." And that's not even the best line.

This is sooooo good

This is so freaking good. Give me a million of these pieces over the hot take machine any day of the week. @mlsist.bsky.social is the best.

Look, it's been a while since I wrote thousands of words on some dumb American soccer thing. So I decided to research & write the definitive story of Striker, the most beloved mascot in World Cup history. Not that anybody asked for it. On @us.theguardian.com: www.theguardian.com/football/202...

nightmare blunt rotation

You guys know me - I am far from a football purist. But let me say this one thing: I hope I never hear a 10-second countdown before a match, ever fucking again. Burn it with fire.

On @us.theguardian.com, I’ve got a few words on Diego from here in Atlanta. www.theguardian.com/football/202...
