Actual rabbi, soccer podcaster and writer. Uses the f-word probably a little too much. Buy my book.
TIL from fotmob that all of the recent MLS matches are reschedules. Look at the ‘Round’ numbers there. I’m not going down a rabbit hole to figure out what happened in each case. But that does explain why the number of games and the dates of the games feel a little random.
England’s final 35 minutes, in song form. (Tool’s ‘Descending’.)
Happy 10th anniversary to Micheal Azira becoming my favorite player of all-time.
HTHL: a soccer pod that also reviews hotel art. I give these a 7/10. Definitely match each other and the room, not ugly, nice colors. Not particularly expressive, meaningful, unique, or interesting, however. @rapids96podcast.bsky.social
We now have unattended 24 hr slot machine shops in Pittsburgh. Really? This is legal? @governor.pa.gov
77’ I’m not sure how I got this far into the game without a shot of mezcal.

After winning $89 in the group stage by picking USA/AUS and GER/CIV, I split my rnd of 32 bets w 2 wins, 2 losses. For the rnd of 16, I bet France to beat Paraguay, Mexico qualify vs England, & Canada qualify vs Morocco. Who are your picks? #WC2026
America is reveling in an incredible first rate soccer experience from LA to Miami to Boston. Meanwhile, in Commerce City… #Rapids96
I can’t believe they sent Herrington in. I’m crushed the kid missed. He’ll be back at the WC again.
Ah. The trials and travails of a small business. So we've open our Coffee Shop / Jewish learning org, and we have a website, and until today, donations and class payments were processed thru Square. On June 22, for no reason, Square deactivated our account. /1
Germany producing 15 touches in the box and just 0.15 xG is damning. No Müller. No Klose. No goals.
The consensus from all the smart soccer people I know is that that was a penalty. Canada got jobbed.
Our one Michelin star level restaurant. If Michelin could ever be bothered to come here. Props to @jamellebouie.net for coming to the ‘Burgh.
Wendy’s is having a Gamestop moment. “Get in loser, we’re gonna destroy some hedge funds.”
Did not know! Graphic I saw online said first person. Turns out a bunch if women have done it.
Behold, it has occurred. The worst take in the history of bluesky. “Americans are bad at developing athletes.”
IT’S LIT FOR THE USA IN PITTSBURGH #WorldCup2026
Me and Rachel at the FNB Stadium match party match. LFG USA!!! #USMNT #WorldCup2026
Ticket prices for the one game I’ve been eyeing, Cote D’Ivorie v Curacao, have bounced back up on stubhub. Low ticket fell to around $200-220 last week, now it’s $250-280.
24 hours ago the lowest priced tickets for Cote D’Ivore-Curacao were all around $240-250. Today they’re all around $220.
