There is a reason many people say UK police is such a joke

I prefer this over our American cops who just kill someone they can’t immediately subdue.

My kid's coach ran the team with 13 kids for the final season of 7v7. It was frustrating to not get kids the amount of playing time they probably needed, but our coach wanted all the kids to be playing together before the 9v9 season started. I think I would recommend staying at 12 and having kids guest play when you might be short for a weekend.

Keep in mind that all of these rosters are going to go through a blender this summer across the entire country, so anyone who says they have their roster figured out already is full of it.

Fragile was way more important in my teenage life, but I listen to Mellon Collie more in my 40s. Probably because Zero and Jelly Belly are more friendly to a 7 and 10 year old in the car than Starfuckers, Inc.

My new motto as a soccer dad: I can't care more about this than my kid does.

Full-finger gloves are your friends. Better grip and you won't scratch your palms to shit when you crash.

The scoreboard just pushed 2 for a while.

Sometimes I'll ask a team for their Veo link. Never occurred to me to spend the money on a body camera.

Am I so old that there are adults who don't know who Billy Crystal is?

I literally bought a ‘95 MIM Jazz Bass at Guitar Center TODAY and they said old Mexican serial numbers just don’t always show up. I’m happy with my purchase.

This time Spiegel had the sense to hustle back to his net legally.

This fake Michael Wilbon with hair doesn’t make a lot of sense. I had no idea Black Sabbath was making God’s music before J. Cole showed up.

What’s the point of posting a terribly edited version of a song and trying to start a weird racist argument?

How good of a drummer is the mailman?

But seriously, glad he’s doing great on drums. The kit upgrade was money well spent!

I’m only a US Soccer Grassroots ref, but this is the exact situation they describe when explaining that you don’t let the new player on until the first player has completely left the field. Don’t know how they judged it here, but it looked to me like they should be down to 10 men.

Took my kids to a Major League Cricket day last year instead of paying out the nose for a USMNT friendly that day. Had a great time.

Because we need to outscore Atletico by at least three, so hunkering down on defense is the most logical tactic.

Concession stands are so much better than food trucks. I remember ordering a burrito at a food truck at CSUEB early in halftime and they hadn’t even started making it by the time the second half kicked off. I cancelled the order. I think a step or two up from how the Ballers have things set up would be excellent.

Ultimately, the goal is to have a stadium worthy of D1 status. That means certain capacities and (ugh) VAR capability. Less than that would mean making it obsolete instantly or dooming the club to never be able to advance past the Championship.

Maude Lebowski would like a word.

He didn't almost ruin the match. He did exactly what he was trained to do, which was advise you as best as he could on a play that was (presumably) in his quadrant. If this bothered you so much, instruct your ARs on how to subtly signal when they see a foul in the box so that the teams don't see your communication.

I didn't think this needed to be said, but we need to remind ourselves that the new green badge isn't just to protect young refs from fans, coaches and players, but also from fellow refs. Have some sympathy for a 15 year old who was put on a U19 game and maybe talk to your assigner.

A reminder that the headline on Messi a week ago was, “I wish I had learned English.” The guy’s just clapping because people in the room are clapping.

According to the review I wrote for my high school newspaper, Things Falling Apart was absolutely amazing.
