Chat, is it a good sign when all coverage of your team includes an explanation of the gold plan?

But neither team is out of the picture yet.

If that does happen, new fans will have a different race to cheer for as eliminated teams immediately begin collecting points toward the "Gold Plan."

The Gold Plan is a system where mathematically eliminated teams begin accruing points toward draft positioning with the team who earns the most points after being eliminated winning the first overall pick in the 2026 Draft.

Every. Single. Season:

6. Seattle Sounders (-): So many winger injuries already. So many center back injuries already. The Sounders will be fine in the long run but in the short-run, going up against Vancouver like this? Good luck.

I hoped since they are misdemeanors it wasn’t that bad, but it’s real bad:

Among the over 5,000 cases in this new backlog, at least 1,700 are domestic violence cases, which are among the most serious cases handled by the City Attorney’s Office. There are also at least 1,210 backlog cases categorized as criminal traffic cases, which include Driving Under the Influence (DUI) cases. Davison’s challengers criticized her alleged mishandling of DUI cases as part of their campaign pitches.

FIFA hasn’t officially commented, but “sources have indicated” coming from the Guardian seems like FIFA is serious about punishing Iran should they withdraw.

Fifa has protections in its tournament rules, which sources have indicated would be upheld. The regulations state that withdrawing before the tournament incurs a fine of between €275,000 (£238,000) and €555,000, depending on the date of the withdrawal, and triggers a referral to Fifa’s disciplinary committee, which could impose sporting sanctions.

“Participating associations that withdraw at any stage of the Fifa World Cup 2026 shall be required to reimburse all funds received from Fifa for the preparation of their national team, as well as any competition-related contributions received from Fifa,” the regulations state.

“The Fifa disciplinary committee may impose additional disciplinary measures, taking into account in particular the timing of the withdrawal or exclusion, the seriousness of the infringement that led to the inadmission or exclusion, possible mitigating factors and any other relevant circumstances.

“These disciplinary sanctions may include the exclusion of the association concerned from a future Fifa competition or the replacement of that association by another.”

After reviewing the results of the investigation, MLS concluded that the players engaged in extensive gambling on soccer, including on their own teams, during the 2024 and 2025 seasons. In one instance, both players bet on Jones to draw a yellow card during an October 19, 2024 match, which he received. MLS also determined that the players likely shared confidential information with other bettors about their intent to draw yellow cards.

According to FotMob, Jones received a 35th minute yellow card when the Crew were up 2-0 against RBNY. The Crew went on to beat RBNY 3-2 on a 90+7 goal by Amundsen.

Uh-oh, seems like trouble in paradise:

It’s a little older, but it might help to ground the conversation a bit.

We finally made it through the long winter and NWSL is back this weekend, baby! It kicks off Friday with Portland Thorns vs Washington Spirit and my favorite team, the Seattle Reign have their first game against the Orlando Pride on Sunday afternoon and I could not be more excited to watch some women’s soccer 😊

It’s been tough, but I’m glad they had kind words for my some of my faves, Bilka, Gosling and Tejralova.

Lots of things would happen, but the specifics wouldn’t much matter because there’d be no-one left to tell the tale afterwards.
