@StreeUnit @TheAthleticFC

@TheAthleticFC That quote literally makes no sense and has no place in the world of football.

“I was finding my Marshawn Lynch of soccer. It’s Brenden Aaronson. I found my Beast Mode of soccer.” - Tareq Azim Brendan Aaronson's impressive season in helping Leeds avoid relegation will likely land him a spot on the USMNT's World Cup roster. Through it, he has been backed by Tareq Azim, a physical trainer, mental coach, and spiritual advisor best known for his work with NFL stars. Regarding Aaronson's work ethic, Azim liked what he saw. "This kid is a f***ing dog," he tells @tombogert. 🔗 nytimes.com/athletic/72956…

@yosirss @MLFootball "Marshawn Lynch in 2012 in the locker room" Super Bowl 48: 2014 Super Bowl 49: 2015 Super Bowl: 60: 2026

@RapidsJason @MLFootball No they didn’t bro

🚨🚨CRAZY FOOTAGE🚨🚨 Rare footage of iconic #Seahawks  running back Marshawn Lynch in 2012 in the locker room has surfaced and gone viral on social media. This is one of the funniest videos you will ever see. One of one 😭😭😭

@yosirss @MLFootball "Seahawks been poverty ever since" Narrator: The Seahawks won two Super Bowls and appeared in a third since this video was made

@MLFootball Seahawks been poverty ever since

@TheFalcon6380 @KR_in_DC @TFRHQ5 Again, and? Is anyone claiming that MLS is equal to Ligue 1? So of course he went to a lesser league, a tier 2 league like the original tweet suggested. But being in the top 15 leagues in the world at tier 2 is pretty damn good.

@KR_in_DC @RapidsJason @TFRHQ5 Hear it from the horses mouth before you talk about someone else's wisdom🫵😂🤣😂Oh, how the🥜s try & man do they try😂🤣😂Only a 🥜 can give me a good laugh & a smile each and every morning as I drink my coffee🤪☕️😘🖖

🚨🎙️| Rodrigo De Paul on the level of the MLS: “People underestimate this league too much because they only watch clips on social media. The MLS is far more competitive than people think. Every game is intense, physical and demanding. You don’t get space easily here and every team fights until the final minute. I’ve played at the highest level and I can tell you honestly, this league is much tougher than people give it credit for. In my opinion, it’s a more difficult environment than the Saudi league because here the intensity, rhythm and traveling make everything harder. Anyone who truly understands football and watches matches with a football brain can see that immediately. There’s a reason why players like Messi continue to shine here and still speak highly about the level. He sees the work, the tactics and the competitiveness every single week. People think it’s easy because they only focus on the highlights, but when you actually play here, you realize how demanding it really is.”

@TheFalcon6380 @TFRHQ5 Uh, ok? Is anyone claiming MLS is one of the top 5 leagues that are the first tier? No. So placing them on the second tier is exactly the claim being made.

@TFRHQ5 😂🤣😂Nah it's not the clips, people actually watch the full games & what they see is an accurate assessment of the MLS league & that's nothing more than a 2nd tier league🤣🥂

@CarlosBitMe @TFRHQ5 He's averaging a little under a goal per game, roughly what he did in the best leagues in Europe. So by your measure MLS is equal to the top leagues.

@TFRHQ5 Meanwhile, Messi is running around the entire field with PLENTY OF SPACE and scoring 2-3 goals per game LOL

@Vince_Rosetta @adal_zora @TFRHQ5 @MLS So the Rapids get 15K to every game to see who exactly? Right, to see some young kid they probably never heard of (Herrington this year).

@adal_zora @TFRHQ5 @MLS I can guarantee people are coming to see Messi, Reus etc…. Before they are coming to see some young kid, they’ve never heard of. Tell me I’m wrong.

@JerryMassey @peppersquad The shootout is a better option for deciding tied games that have to have a winner than KFTM. I'll die on that hill. MLS's mistake was deciding every game had to have a winner.

@peppersquad I’m guessing you thought the timed penalty shootout was great as well. Low information people will always try to justify their pathetic stances.

@Burgundywave @BVBborussia707 He was escorted out in handcuffs by CCPD

@BVBborussia707 Should be banned for the rest of the season at minimum. No tolerance.

Doesn’t look like the crowd will be as big as the Switchbacks game. Disappointing. Not that surprised.

@afpvsj @ColoradoRapids The fan was identified and escorted out in handcuffs by CCPD

@ColoradoRapids y’all really gonna let a fan throw a beer at Daniel’s head? Karma incoming

IT'S YAPI HOUR ⏰ 39' | 1-0 | #COLvSJ

@Fr8nky @ColoradoRapids @paramountplus Escorted out in handcuffs by CCPD

@ColoradoRapids @paramountplus What about the piece of shit fan who threw that can.

Cross delivered, header buried… absolutely no notes 😙🤌 #COLvSJ | @paramountplus 📺

@BVBborussia707 @ColoradoRapids Yes (or at least, escorted out by CCPD in handcuffs)

@ColoradoRapids Did that fan get arrested?

Feeling good at the break 😎 #COLvSJ

@wizkidelay I will never hate a team as much as I hate OKC

@EZB987 @BoninoBeer @A_Jude Sure, that’s fair. But telling them to “ask tough questions” is a fundamental misunderstanding of how post-game press conferences work.

@BoninoBeer @RapidsJason @A_Jude If only the M’s beat writers had a forum to express their thoughts. I guess we’ll never know.

Final: White Sox 2, Mariners 1. Uff dah.

Thoughts?

@Sealoseal @Burgundywave Exceeded? By beating a USL-1 and a USL-C team at home? I don't think so. (I mean, maybe exceeded fan's expectations based on history, but that should be the minimum from a capable MLS team)

@Burgundywave HUGE ask, but would love it for Wells and Co They've already exceeded expectations in the USOC though

St. Louis CITY beat Houston Dynamo in penalties after going 2-2. If Colorado Rapids beat San Jose tomorrow, they will host STL in the Open Cup semifinal in mid-September.

@Thomas_Cru4Brus @SportsGuyJeremy But then why list St. Louis, before he signed?

I did think 2023 was odd, but the only one of those with Messi was the LAFC game. The second Houston game that year was a US Open Cup (excluded from the request) As for Vancouver in 2024, Miami did play them in BC Place, but Messi didn't. So maybe it went a step too far and checked if he was listed in the lineup.

I didn't mention it because I literally didn't know about this until right now. What the hell? #RCTID
