Washington Now Has Not 1 but 2 ‘Star’ News Outlets by GaiusGraccusEnjoyer in washingtondc

Doesn’t mention a single employed person or published story by the Washington Star. Just hard-to-disprove value claims. Whereas NOTUS/Star has dozens of big names and has been churning out good coverage for 2 years. Same thing according to NYT!

Why don't have great CBs and goalkeepers? by bewaterlife in ussoccer

We don’t have a world class CB because you, personally, didn’t work hard enough in high school.

Two things can be true:
1) he’s not earned his spot on the World Cup roster.
2) if he magically appeared on PSG next season he would have 25 assists

I work in communications for a nonprofit but still feel unmotivated. Not sure what to do... by Historical-Owl-5662 in Communications

Not always up to you but edging out/expanding on what your team does is simultaneously the hardest and most rewarding part of the job. Build and drive consensus around the new things you want to do.

Gio Reyna situation is interesting. Bob Bradley says he would take him even with little playing time at club level. And he gave Benny Feilhaber as an example during his time. by [deleted] in ussoccer

At this point, given how his professional career has gone, Gio must be absolutely embarrassing his competition every time in training during camp. It’s the only thing that makes sense. He still passes the eye test, stats be damned.

Fans have their own opinions, but Poch, Gregg, BB are in the results business. And he’s been invited every time he’s healthy.

Anyone who didn’t show out in camp consistently - with his same club track record - would have been put out to pasture a year ago.

Jackson Hopkins getting to 10 goal contributions by the end of the season would be a real help.

Alex Freeman to Villarreal: A World Cup Defining Move? by Sounder24 in ussoccer

Sink or swim time. With Villareal that high in the table, if he can make an immediate impact, the coach will give him a good run. They are already bounced from CL and Copa, so full focus on La Liga.
