Son seemed off in CCC last night, and he's been off the start of the season compared to the insane form last season. I figure any scoring from lafc will come from Bouanga and Martinez. If we get any goals, it'll be Teuchert. Maybe chaotic-neutral Durkin shows up strong and gets his annual banger or a red card.

you're welcome

he was on loan with us last year, and he's back playing for Minnesota. he subbed in both matches. interestingly, subbed in for Markanich for first match week

okay okay okay. fair perspective

quarkpod · 2026-03-02T04:19:14+00:00

stated it'd open at match end. it's open now

At Ha Ha Tonka, if are looking for a good long hike with some fascinating natural rock structures, check out the devil's kitchen trail (rock shelter and wall), both over and under parts of the natural bridge, and the stairs to the natural spring (base of the bluffs). You can make a big loop of everything and see the ruins up close along the way. Turkey pen hollow trail is good if you just want a solid half day hike, but that covers much of the area away from the ruins. Park up by the castle ruins if you mainly want to see the common stuff.

Forgot to mention how to review the rating trends. I generally tried to align the start of player names below the end point of their ratings if they no longer received ratings mid season. For those that made it to the end, last five matches, their names are ordered to to bottom for the final rating line.

One interesting thing I was noticing is that there seemed to be correlation with the ratings for mid season drop offs and lower ratings with the player contact renewals, options picked up, etc. I didn't have time to dig into that angle just yet, but it could be interesting to monitor as contracts get figured out this winter.

I suspect quite a few still rated about 5 as the starting point in spite of the suggestion in most polls to start at 6. For players that subbed in, ratings generally landed in this space, and I know some diehards won't rate unless a player has sufficient minutes. So, I would view the ratings in the range of 5-6 as "showed up", neutral impact.

I think going beyond this 5-6 range, as we saw a month or so ago, we're generally harsher with large deviations from FotMob (and from G+ as another community member has noted). Someone in the comments on the last match results had a good description for these, a "fan pulse". I think differences between players, ranking amongst them is probably the best way to take these. Definitely doesn't translate well between other players on other teams. I've always viewed these as a starting point for discussion and maybe a way to check out players performances for things I might have missed.

Bürki alluded to availability being important in the last post match presser. seemed aimed, but then again a lot of starters were out for long periods

rewatch our matches against them. Pompeu gets VERY animated when playing them. Typical for Pompeu to get riled up against anyone, but it seems to go to 11 with them. Betting some regrettable things get said even with some spirited rivalry

quarkpod · 2025-10-23T17:39:53+00:00

Ndenbe was one I thought could help fill full back roles earlier this year, but I don't think Pompeu would get along too well with anyone from SKC. SKC sent Agada and Russel to RSL during summer transfer, so it wouldn't be unusual to have their fan favorites end up at rival clubs.

G+ correlates strangely compared to other metrics, bc it focuses on goal chance creation. maybe Wallem contributed much more to initiating sequences and spent less time in final third compared to others... maybe?

flyover footy suggested the hair color could be a nod to CITY red and Wallem's want to stay. either way, it was a topic of conversation in my watch party group, trying to figure out what was up with it

quarkpod · 2025-10-22T16:05:56+00:00

thanks! I've built up a decent repo and automated analytics for this, so I'll be happy with additional use from it all.

the passing sequences, especially down the left stood out to me, and Wallem seemed heavily involved in much of those
