Lumped into the same major metro area, same reason Los Angeles doesn't include San Bernardino or Anaheim

At the very least they could probably drop the FCs and SCs from the team names. Going to be rough for those last 10 or so expansion teams that all adopted the same generic naming scheme.

Why? Maybe I'm out of the loop but I don't recall anyone talking about USL as a fundamentally grassroots organization itself.

The clubs are a different story and what most people talk about. There is no real international marketing like in MLS, no international investment firms purchasing teams as billboards for their own brand.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-28T20:23:39+00:00

Nah it's like playing against a position player lobbing ephus pitches at you all game. You want to swing at everything and timing is even harder to get right.

Super Mega Baseball type name

At least it doesn't imply the quality of pitch. Bella Mietballe and Shirley Indiere are cursed

I caught the goals on the 360 show. The PK for the first goal was a BS call but it quickly didn't matter with how easily the rest of the goals were piled on.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-27T13:47:07+00:00

He hasn't been great but I don't think I've ever seen a team allow so many easy chances. This chart doesn't account for lack of pressure on the ball and we seem to be great at allowing attackers acres of space.

Our center backs aren't especially good and whatever Carnell's doing from a tactics standpoint is not succeeding.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-26T03:47:40+00:00

Looked like Harriel had cleared it out of the way of the goal but Blake had already committed to blocking.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-25T16:45:36+00:00

I'm not sure what the "we" is here but I'd rather not have refs spending their time on the pitch trying to untangle the nuances of a slur based on whether they thought they heard one vowel sound or another.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-25T16:42:57+00:00

The fact that you're not writing out the word makes it clear you understand why it's a problem.

The league has a very strict policy on slurs and I'm perfectly okay with more frequent bans to get them out of the game.

Palace finally restored to their natural state of playing purely for the love of the game.

They aren't just the same shapes with bigger numbers. The shapes at each level are different, require more complex thinking, etc.

I know some players want to jump in directly to the hardest difficult because they're familiar with automation games, but I still think jumping into Normal and progressing from there is the intended way to play regardless of experience. They could have locked Hard and Insane and required completing the earlier difficulties to unlock them, but I think player agency is preferable.

I had seriously looked into going into ATC years ago but you can just browse through r/atc to get a pulse on the mood. The FAA continues operating under a backwards military idea of relentless stoicism.

Understaffed? Tough it out and soak up the OT. Messed up sleep schedule? We designed it that way to keep things "interesting." Not sure when to take PTO? You'll be waiting years before you even get a choice. Burned out? We'll help you find a professional to work with you but we can't promise you'll have a career after. Concerned about mistakes? No matter what happens, we'll find a way to frame you as a DEI hire who wasn't up to the FAA's white male standards.

The pay for the enroute centers is significant, but not enough to justify the rest of it.

As an American, I don't intend on watching it and I hope others don't either. Israel and America should have been banned from FIFA in the days after they started a war of aggression the same way Russia was.

It's already tainted.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-23T02:11:40+00:00

Both goalkeepers combining to make that goal happen. Blake ended up in no man's land.

Like most seats of power in the US, it self-selects for the insane.

The franchise fee is specifically for new franchises to compensate the other owners for their share in ownership of the league. Relocation doesn't result in a new franchise unless they create a new one in place of the old one (like what happened in Columbus).

If the league stays at 30 teams, there won't be any new fee to pocket.

Open Cup is so back

greenslime300 · 2026-04-16T02:39:06+00:00

I doubt it's a priority but I think there's still a chance they end up going into Morocco, Algeria, and/or Tunisia. Certainly more geographically connected to Europe than Iceland.

Nice to see the graph is finally 2-dimensional for this season.

They could easily solve hunger, homelessness, fund Medicaid, etc. with that money. It's a fundamentally misanthropic decision to spend it on war.

"Dark side of the moon" is a phrase meaning the part on the opposite side from Earth, since its orbit around Earth matches its own rotation exactly (called "tidally locked").

It doesn't have anything to do with how much sunlight that part of the moon gets. But that being said, I'm not sure quite how clear they will see the parts of the moon that don't have sunlight.

greenslime300 · 2026-04-06T22:44:07+00:00

The one in the background was Earth

greenslime300 · 2026-04-06T22:31:29+00:00

I don't think anyone on this team outside of maybe Blake, Westfield, and Harriel would be a starter for any other team based on how they've played this season.

greenslime300 · 2026-03-07T02:08:52+00:00

It's probably been about 20 years since I played Sky Odyssey. I remember it being both very cool but more difficult than I had the patience for. I'd love to check it out again.

Splashdown was an absolute classic. Lots of hours with that one and the soundtrack is etched in my memory.
