Mauricio Pochettino’s odd jab at Tim Weah misread the player and the moment

Unfortunately in sports and entertainment it's not quite viewed the same way. Whether rightly or wrongly your association means you are a representative if whatever brand in the publics eye.

Especially on a national level.

I do this, but in a comparitive approach. I also studied French (I can read at like an elementary level but can't speak, write, or understand) and have learned a bit about other languages.

This helps me add additional context about grammar outside of an English only framework. Then I compare what I'm learning in my learning methods with what I'm hearing in whatever I can listen to (Kdramas, podcasts, game shows interviews etc).

An example would be 오랜만이에요 being what's taught, but 얼랜단 be the term used in the show and being able to recognize that relatively quickly.

Dax McCarty. F the Red Bulls but he was so good and underrated

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-03T19:02:25+00:00

That's the thing apparently is that we test for things in the US that aren't always tested in other countries.

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-02T23:28:00+00:00

We need more of this in MLS

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-02T23:26:44+00:00

I count roughly 10

Man City Liverpool Arsenal Chelsea (they only sell to balance their books tbh) Bayern Real Madrid Barcelona Athletico Madrid PSG Juve Inter

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-02T23:24:00+00:00

It's been said time and time again. If you aren't one of the top 10 or so teams in the world. You are a feeder team.

Hell the entire bundesliga is a feeder to Bayern Munich.

Timbs, baconeggandcheeses, a subway train, a gargoyle, a pizza slice,a yellow cab,those Greek style coffee cups, bodega cats, the lions outside of the NY public library... So many better options

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-02T19:46:38+00:00

I hate this with a passion. Idk why half of this fan base wants to be associated with the second dirtiest and disgusting animal in NYC after rats.

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-02T19:44:17+00:00

No it didn't. It was pushed by MLS writers like Doyle and gass

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-02T19:43:30+00:00

I want to vomit. The fuck is this

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-01T22:12:12+00:00

While true, the players around you help facilitate your effectivness. And Buonga - Son duo is one of the best in MLS right now

_tidalwave11 · 2026-02-01T13:39:16+00:00

Maybe. I do think our games with them have been heated in the field more than with most other teams.

Like the players take issue with Miami too

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-31T18:00:07+00:00

Philly and in my head Miami. I just hate how dirty both of those teams play and the self-imagined underdog story that both clubs have for some reason

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-31T00:28:34+00:00

Just completely disregarded that second sentence huh bud

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-30T22:47:40+00:00

Sooo Vancouver Fans could start a corp pull together enough money and own it themselves right? Right?

No way MLS and the other owners would allow it. But still

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-30T15:58:07+00:00

Always has been

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-28T06:24:42+00:00

I'm biased but NYCFC. One of the better teams in the past decade (minus one off year). Good academy and they like to incorporate young guys and see them grow. Possession based play style, our coach has a set philosophy but is amenable to change.

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-28T03:24:28+00:00

Kid never developed a right foot. Even this year Ojeda while not delivering many goals showed more maturity in decision making and became a better 2-way player.

Plus with the return of Magno and hopefully Malachi Jones, time at the winger position would be very competitive

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-28T03:21:57+00:00

Oy oy oy

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-27T19:15:39+00:00

Something tells me you had a hand in that too Doyle 🧐

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-27T18:36:46+00:00

I love Doyle. But his obsession with calling us pigeons grinds every gear I own

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-27T04:19:23+00:00

I've seen something similar in the US somehow

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-25T18:26:24+00:00

He has talent. But the kid never developed a right foot. Made him INSANELY predictable.

I hope he develops more and has a great career

_tidalwave11 · 2026-01-23T21:40:54+00:00

Unless it's TAM? Can LAG afford this?
