He deserved it #NERevs

“If the players are good enough, they play.” #NERevs open.substack.com/pub/thebentmus…

I’d die if someone listed every self-improvement business leadership book I read.

When coaching, I tell my players that if they’re no longer loving the game then go play for fun. For anyone, if you’re no longer loving the game then go find a local game to watch for fun.

During lockdown, I wrote 30k words about VAR and measurement theory. No-one wanted to publish it - they all said it was mad. But offsides like this Coventry one mean I can't stop thinking about it. 3 major issues.

"We need to stop being so romantic about it, and Learning Outcomes help us to do that. Learning Outcomes do away with all the emotional nonsense and require us to codify and document and tabulate. Who needs magic when you have Bloom’s Taxonomy?" mcsweeneys.net/articles/forge…

City have just accomplished something genuinely incredible… And everyone would still rather tune in to watch something authentic with Jurgen Klopp’s farewell speech. Jurgen’s right: “When you win one time with Liverpool, it is worth as much as five with another club.”

Great quote from Gasperini tonight “Winning with Atalanta is one of those footballing fairytales that rarely crop up. It gives scope for meritocracy: there is still scope for ideas and doesn’t have to come down to cold, hard money."

The USMNT suffer a shock loss to Panama. Advancing to the knockout rounds in serious doubt now. USMNT vs. Uruguay to close out the group. Need a result. Let me be clear: Not getting out of the group stage would be a catastrophic failure.

We overlook the immense opportunity locked away in our streets at our own peril when we view them solely as SPACE to move and store vehicles instead of a PLACE to connect, build community & support thriving local economies. 📍Newbury Street, Boston

firm believer that its possible to be sweet & compassionate, and also a relentless hater... i've dedicated my life to proving this by example.

If you hired me as a consultant tasked with coming up with the worst name possible for the Boston women’s soccer team I don’t think I’d even have the balls to submit BOS Nation as one of the options I’d be like “take that one out I want them to think I took this seriously”

Make America Walkable Again

Great job this year Brian Bilello Curt Onalfo Cathal Conlon etc etc #NERevs

Both groups are pathetic these days but who can really be surprised by that with the product on the field and other options around New England. Personally I think protest juice should be saved for when the fans rights are being infringed upon. #fortgate 👍 #nerevs bad 👎

"The MLS, in my assessment, is maybe more competitive than some leagues in Europe." - Mauricio Pochettino

The #USMNT has been outscored 11-2 in its last seven first halves vs FIFA top 25 teams.

#NERevs up to 30% possession this game 💪

The '530 page book of lies' also known as the '2026 World Cup Bid Document' stated that America would prioritise public transport over private vehicle use. Calling a stadium "Boston stadium" but the stadium is actually a totally inaccessible 25 miles away is like Scotland

Of course, Doug. This was the easiest prediction of all. Project, project, project … can down the road … and then …. Bye bye. 👋 ZERO progress.
