Key to winning: Choose to be positive and grateful. Then, just keep at it. Time is the great compounder and will do the rest. So many people just don’t have the discipline to stay positive and grateful. Then time compounds the bitterness instead.

🚨 Chelsea exploring deal to appoint Xabi Alonso as next head coach. 44yo former #RMFC boss understood to be open to possibility, although nothing decided yet as process continues. Andoni Iraola also strong contender ahead of departing #AFCB @TheAthleticFC nytimes.com/athletic/69645…

🚨❗️Alonso is open to the prospect of a move to Stamford Bridge. Alonso has some high-profile backing inside the ownership group. [@MsiDouglas]

ONCE AGAIN, SD > LA 🌊

👏👏👏 First goal in NWSL by the FSU star. Rivalry game on! #LAvSD

@sandiegowavefc Massive save by Haracic to keep it nil-nil. A bite of a chaotic first half. In possession, Wave are struggling to keep the channels open, credit to LAFC. A couple of good looks, including excellent touch by Ascanio to look by Ludmila on target. Out of possession, LAFC pace causing havoc on the counters with Wave struggling to keep shape. Overall, a physical game as expected. LFGSD! #LAvsSD #NWSL

even at the break at BMO

LFG SD! Rivalry match! Ride the 🌊🌊🌊 #NWSL #LAvsSD

@SahilBloom Well said and words of wisdom!

Major life hack: Don't complain, ever. Nobody likes a complainer. They drain the energy of everyone around them. It's exhausting spending time around someone who constantly complains about things outside their control. If it’s within your control, go do something about it. If it’s not, you’re just wasting energy thinking about it. Complaining gives too much power to the thing. Take back that power.

So key having Levi back, not only the ability to orchestrate in build up and break the lines, but the communication and leadership value he adds defensively Tempo control ~ box defending ~ communication (all three KEY traits we’ve lacked) 📹@simplyjb22

Brilliant mate! Love the format! A breath of fresh air between. 💙 Let’s try to amplify if so inclined @LDNFootbalI @Blue_Footy @OliviaBuzaglo @tovers98 @MobyChe @CFCDaily @ConnCFC @pythaginboots

Xabi Alonso is the current favourite to be named Chelsea manager for the first game of the 2026-27 season… ✅

Hey @AlaskaAir, a quick shout out to the flight crew on flight 512 from DFW to San Diego this afternoon. The crew was brilliant. Exceptional service! This is why Alaska is the best airline in the Nation. Keep up the great work! 👏👏👏
