Can you guys acc not tell this is AI ?

@tombogert Damn I’m trying to read that deck

An (admittedly) overprepared 120-page deck; A long list of high-level candidates from within MLS, South America and Europe; A club looking to rebuild. Inside St. Louis City's hiring of Corey Wray as sporting director and what's next nytimes.com/athletic/67794…

@ManagerTactical I wouldn’t go so far to say this is pro/rel. All teams still compete in the same national tournament and we don’t even know what the criteria will be for determination and redetermination of tiers. I encourage everyone to read the whole white page

The US 🇺🇸 Soccer Federation thinks pro/rel is good for college soccer but won’t recommend or enforce it for the professional leagues, like MLS. Interesting… 🤔

@RotoStreetWolf Bourne or Addison? I’m set on sitting Brown

I would play Kendrick Bourne over AJ Brown in Week 7 Fantasy Football

Inspired by @AnalysisEvolved’s End of Season Awards podcast episode, I looked at STL City’s “Jekyll & Hyde” award — who flipped their form the most this year based on Goals Added (using June 1 as the season midpoint and >500 min in each half). ⬇️ #AllForCity #STLCity

@ChatCityTactics I love this format

#AllForCITY has decided (correctly imo) Alfredo Morales > Chris Durkin

@ChrisVannini @HenryBushnell As someone that played mid-major D1 soccer, I don’t get the hate. I think the tiering is a good merit-based idea. I’m sure the placing will cause controversy but playing in the horizon league vs. the ACC is already a stark difference. I think this is a good move

US Soccer wants college soccer to get rid of conferences, add some promotion/relegation and make other major changes. Story from @HenryBushnell: nytimes.com/athletic/67218…

Can’t wait to see how this plays out over the next year. Earning a degree while playing at an elite level is such a unique opportunity — and building a better pro pathway without losing that balance is great for the growth of soccer in the U.S. #ussoccer #collegesoccer

BIG PICTURE: At 24 years old, Mama can certainly develop into what Liverpool need from a GK. However, large questions currently exist surrounding his ball playing and sweeping abilities. With Ali’s injury tendencies, will Mamardashvili be ready to step up the way Kelleher did?

POSITIVES: CROSSES Mamardashvili is aggressive and brave when coming for crosses. He uses his frame well and rarely hesitates. He does elect to punch versus catch in a lot of situations, though.

Speaking of good goalkeeper performances against STL City… #AllForCITY #STLvsSJ

During Olof Mellberg’s #AllForCITY tenure, only two clubs have had a higher PSxG +/- against them, Montreal and DC (+6.8). City’s value at +6.0 indicates that goalkeepers have performed particularly well against them. New manager bounce today?!

Things to keep in mind: This data focuses solely on shot stopping. Post-shot xG is a noisy stat where finding the signal of good goalkeeping or good finishing by the player is hard to determine. Let me know your thoughts!

Potential surprises: Bart Verbruggen: Interesting to see that Verbruggen holds the lowest PSxG +/- at -5.1. Even after removing the 7-0 thrashing by Forest, he’s still at -3.4. Bernd Leno: A fan favorite at Fulham and reliable shot stopper. Although he is prone to a soft goal.
