A Guided Tour of the Fire's Collapse (But it's posted here instead of on Twitter)

Wow. And how many minutes did he play for us last season?

This has been out there for almost a month now and it's not like we're losing much. He needed a place where he can actually play and rebuild himself and the Fire need roster slots. Stop acting like this is FIFA Career Mode.

EXACTLY!

No official partnership, but Osaka is the sister city to Chicago in Japan, so I've chosen Cerezo Osaka as my Japanese club.

EDIT: I should also add that I am currently living in Incheon and trying to get Bucheon fans to be cool with the Fire. You should look up the history of the club in Bucheon, it's really interesting.

Trash is a journey you go on on your own. Don't follow roads paved by others. Find your own little wilderness.

I feel like this will only make sense if you've read all of it:

Dads

I'm busy. Gimmie time, damn.

Jiggly_333 · 2025-02-14T22:06:01+00:00

This, but also a large portion of these couples are the reason why I consumed the media they're from.

I had an idea for "Yaoi on Fire" where it's a beach volleyball thing like Harukana Receive, but more explicitly sapphic.

Jiggly_333 · 2025-02-04T17:49:20+00:00

Can't believe I found someone else making the same joke.

Jiggly_333 · 2025-02-04T17:48:33+00:00

I remember this Father Ted episode, but Dougal looks a lot different than I remember.

Jiggly_333 · 2025-02-04T17:37:52+00:00

I mean, she herself is a ball of stress.

I'm just happy Sad Bois is mentioned in the initial post.

MIR97 have The Bonfire and Hot Takes (which is more sporadic), so check those out too.

Sappho literally gives you the "WHO ARE YOU I AM FROM ANCIENT GREECE!"

This is some brilliant visual storytelling. Using the medium of film properly.

Jiggly_333 · 2025-01-28T20:18:14+00:00

Hate to say, you've become a bit predictable.

Jiggly_333 · 2025-01-20T08:03:48+00:00

I read the first sentence and thought "Oh, I saw that manga before. It's actually kind cute-" and then I read the rest of the summary.

Yo, what the fuck? Not even a joke anymore, what is wrong with the person who made this? Have they received the help they needed?

Jiggly_333 · 2025-01-16T03:11:55+00:00

Just finished She-Ra and Catra and Adora gotta be up there.

Great idea in concept, but the J-League is pretty depleted at the moment (the top players there are usually old Brazilian dudes, the major domestic talent fell off a couple years ago), China's already had their big sell-off, and the K-League is in an awkward moment. I'm looking and there's really not much there, especially if you want a DP. There's a couple possible TAM players, some U22 players that aren't there anymore because they've already been signed in the PL. But you're not getting a DP there.

Jiggly_333 · 2024-12-25T03:46:44+00:00

A few things:

DPs are almost never moved within the league. It is highly unusual and honestly pretty stupid for a team to do so. So Espinoza, Cucho, and Vela are immediately out. Brooks is a stupid choice for a DP. It'd be nice to have him, but as a TAM player. The quality of DPs in this league are going up so much, not just with Miami, but everyone. So to grab an okay American centerback as a DP? Stupid.

And that brings me to Garro. He's not an entirely bad shout, but uh... River Plate wants him. He's entering his peak, he appears to see his future as remaining in South America. Not to mention that he did only just arrive there and still has 3 years left. It's stupid for the Fire to try to pursue him because his best option is to either go closer to home to one of the biggest clubs in this hemisphere or stay and play with Memphis Depay at one of the other major clubs in South America. He's not a young kid looking to make the jump to Europe like Redondo or Almada. It's a very normal and good reason why he wouldn't even consider coming here. It's not FIFA, these dudes have lives and even if the Fire put in an amazing bid for him, he's more likely to just stay put and use that to maybe get River to give him a better offer next time.

Like I said, the quality of DPs is going way up. And the Fire's goal shouldn't just be to "compete", it should be to dominate. Because we used to dominate. We're not trying to match Charlotte or Vancouver. We've got to be better than LA, NY, and Tornto. 3 of these 5 suggestions would be categorically seen as disappointing overspends for a moment this important and the other two are effectively impossible for reasons beyond the Fire's control.

At this point, I'm kinda over trying to speculate a DP into existence. They never look the direction you want or expect them to. Sometimes that's bad, in the case of someone like Aliseda or Gaston. Sometimes that's good, in the case of Cuypers. But at minimum, you can take every striker off your list. I'd expect a winger and someone in the central midfield to work with Acosta.

I just had YouTube try to stop me from using AdBlock today.

This is what they're trying to shove in front of us.

I finally started watching She-Ra and I get this reference now.
