The night after a drama-filled loss at Casino Arizona Field is almost certainly not the right time to plug a new project, but here we are. I’ve started a newsletter that will feature one piece of soccer analysis each week. You can subscribe here: benched.substack.com/p/welcome-to-t…

@ojevans18 @PHXRisingFC @jwa1994 @ghost_rooney @RickSchantz1 you guys have solved soccer in this thread. what a moment

@PHXRisingFC @jwa1994 @ghost_rooney Think you’re onto something here...give @RickSchantz1 a call before the next match

Alright then - what do we think worked, what didn’t, and what do Rising need to do to make sure they seal the three points? #RisingTogether #LAvPHX

Junior Flemmings could very, very well be league MVP this season.

@_elsik Exactly. This is a much less extreme transition, but Barmby going to work in space between the lines in this game already is another example of Phoenix being able to plug and play.

@RisingTactics the ease w/ which Dadashov has joined the club supports this whole-heartedly

This might be the coldest take of all time, but this Phoenix Rising team is so good when they have the ball.

My Phoenix Rising analysis/coverage has been unfortunately sparse over the last few months, but @_elsik has been doing a fantastic job analyzing games, previewing opponents and more. If you’re not following him, you’re missing out!

@PHXRisingFC @peterramage83 @NUFC Congratulations, Peter. Really enjoyed getting to chat with you here and there and wish you all the best with Newcastle!

A bittersweet day for the Rising family. Assistant coach @peterramage83 is heading back home to be an assistant coach with the @NUFC U23s. Good luck Rambo! #RisingTogether | #HowayTheLads

Kevon Lambert would be an elite defensive midfielder on a team that spends more time defending than Phoenix Rising do. With the ball, though, he’s just not comfortable and that’s a problem for Phoenix.

The camera angle for Orange County home games is, without a doubt, one of the worst in American soccer.

@jwa1994 @ojevans18 RIP

I told @jwa1994 and @RisingTactics in that lost #UpRising episode that Chris Wehan would be key to NM's success this year, and that he could make the step up to the next level. He's scored three in three since the restart #ELPvNM

@SEC103J I wouldn’t put Whelan at LB, so I’d say option 1.

"We got a bunch of 17, 18, 19 year olds in and this 14 year old on the field, and about 7 minutes into the scrimmage I said 'who's that one?' They were all laughing, and said 'he's the 14-year-old'." - @RickSchantz1

A little Phoenix Rising COVID-19 update for you: a source with knowledge of the team told me that four Rising players have recently returned to the team, giving them at least a week of training before the game on July 11th.

@optimizetaste Yessir!

@RisingTactics Same Cortez from Phx Rising 2+ yrs ago?

This looks pretty familiar...

I think this is where we set an over under for goals scored in this game by both teams. I'm setting the line at 4.5.

@aunderwood48 Ha, so true!

@RisingTactics I am always conflicted by these inter squad highlights. On one had, you cheer the goals, but on the other hand, you just gave up a goal and feel bad for the keeper...It's a rollercoaster!

loling at Bakero's shot in the first clip. Just absurd.

Soccer is coming back in Phoenix. I walked through some of what we know. risingtactics.com/2020/06/25/don…
