👑 Kevin Keegan has passed. I want to share a few quotes: ▪️ “It's understandable that people are keeping one eye on the pot and another up the chimney.” ▪️”I don't think there is anybody bigger or smaller than Maradona.” ▪️”In some ways, cramp is worse than having a broken leg.” #HWTL #RIPKINGKEV
🟪 1-1 at the end of AET and going to penos. Keepers will be staring into the setting sun!
🛹 Tech Decks & Soccer Swag! Magnus and I have our table open in Dayton, OR again - open until 8:30p
⚽️ Coming soon to Portland - Copa Güero! A true “Talacha” held at EastsideTimbers complex. 💰High stakes - win, move on, get the bag. 🚙💨 I’ll try to get out there to get the story for @protagonistsoccer.bsky.social
vs 🌲 MLS is back tonight with Sounders hosting Timbers. 🎙️ Then I record an ep of @soccerromantics.bsky.social with @jeremiah.sounderatheart.com tomorrow. 🏆 Forget the World Cup - we got soccer to talk about!
🏆 🎟️ Tickets to the USLW League Final in Seattle have been procured! 💚 @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social are travelling to face 🩷 @salmonbayfc.bsky.social in what should be a fantastic league final!
But also travelled 17 miles to see Westside Metros play in the WPSL and Deportivo Rose City in the UPSL in Portland.
🚙💨 I recently drove 700 miles to see @sfcityfc.com play SF Glens in SFSFL. Then caught up with SF Nighthawks of the WPSL.
⚽️ 🛹 Duder and Duder Jr are out here selling our goods at “Friday Nights in Dayton” in Oregon.
🔥 Cosmos add former Chatta Red Wolves & Greenville Triumph player Chevone Marsh. Good move and hopefully he invigorates a NY side with -17 GD.
📱 Hey card collectors - is there an app you recommend to organize your cards? How do you price them? And is eBay the best place to sell?
🌹 Quite excited for this signing - can’t wait to get back to the terraces to jump, and clap, and sing our way to victory.
👕 @brettmullenix.bsky.social have you seen this Cork Town AFC shirt by Diaza?
✉️ My 2025/26 Gainsbridge Super League cards by @parksidecards.bsky.social arrived today! 🔥 Absolute gems and fingers crossed the set is expanded next year. Would love to see USLW “Prospects” in the future.
🏆 Made it to El Farolito and found the 1993 @opencup.ussoccer.com trophy on a shelf above the tv’s and cervezas. What a find!
🌁 SF City win away 2-0. Glens had a disallowed goal but City had a stonewall peno not given. All around, great game!
🌁 Made it to Treasure Island to see the Derbi de las Dahlias between @sfcityfc.com vs SF Glens. Stunning day! 0-0 at the half!
🏟️ Words cannot describe the view from the Boxer Stadium press box and my photo is an injustice to the beauty of seeing San Francisco from here on a beautiful sunny day.
SF, I am here at Boxer for 125th Anniversary matches of San Francisco Soccer Football League.
❤️ A lot of thought and work went into @protagonistsoccer.bsky.social newest show branding. ⚽️ An absolute cracker by @calyxdesign.com who worked with us for a while on getting it perfect. 💪🏼 Please support him by liking, following, and checking out all the cool stuff by @calyxworks.com
📚 I just emailed my pitch to write a story for @11freunde.de because I’m not already busy enough.
⚽️🚙💨 Stranger than Fiction: “Automobile Football” was played in San Francisco in the 1930s. I’m going to get to the bottom of this!
