Things that fire me up: Snyder Brunell watching Iniesta at a young age for his press resistance
Wrote about World Cup playstyles and tactics using some cool models made by my @futi.live friends open.substack.com/pub/futiapp/...
The Bear season 5, Lewandowski, and Mbokazi. Very strong week for Chicago
Europeans when they try whataburger and watch USA MEX CAN go undefeated through the group stage
Not a huge fan of teams spending big on players based off of World Cup vibes. That said, somebody needs to go ahead and offer this 18 year old from Lille a check. Completely controlled the tempo of the game against Brazil.
Pulisic + Robinson fluidity and connection was on point. I don’t hate preserving Puli for the rest of the game as I see this one getting spicy. S/O @futi.live for saving me hours from trying to make my own less good version of this.
Talking to NYC while Puli drops dimes in the background was not on my bingo card for 2026
Julian Hall is so good at going invisible off of the shoulder of center backs with his movement. I used possession value added to identify some key moments like these for 5 young MLS ballers.
Still a work in progress. Going to try and get these into articles following the World Cup.
This is sick. Was literally trying to build a version of this just yesterday. Hope those are in the app.
This is a smart move by DC. With a little bit more time to develop and mentorship from Baribo he’s on the verge of becoming an awesome player.
