No smoking in most public places

Not comparing the two at all, but Wayne Rooney debuted at Everton at 16 and played very well. Granted he was a tank physically but it’s not unprecedented. But again, I don’t want to see him at all until the Union deem him ready to handle it. And their track record with homegrowns supports...

He officially turns 15 at the end of September. As I said above, I’m not interested in seeing him on the first team this season at all unless he is truly ready for it. I will say that Cavan has been routinely playing against (and mostly dominating) older age levels since he was 11/12...

Union cannot fumble this. They have skin in the game now long term which is wonderful. But they’re also going to have many more eyes on them as an academy watching how Cavan develops. So don’t rush him into the first team until he is 100% ready for it. If that’s in 2025 or even 2026 so be...

Still going through it, but there’s add-ons, they kept the big sell-on percentage, and there’s some provision that he can go abroad early (to a City-owned feeder) if he’s deemed to have “outgrown” MLS or something like that ETA: here’s the exact quote on the last part: The Union agreed with...

!!!!!!! BREAKING: Manchester City & Philadelphia Union have agreed to terms on a deal for US wonderkid Cavan Sullivan, sources say. He stays in Philly until age 18 Sullivan, 14, finalizing richest homegrown deal in MLS history. Union keep big sell-on...

Probably, but a couple of Union first teamers played as well who are early 20’s. Can’t speak for the Revs I don’t know if this will be a one time thing or not due to circumstance. The Union proper only had 4 available field players on the bench last night due to international duties so it...

Got an assist in his debut https://x.com/phlsoccernow/status/1772004580429099051?s=42&t=sK7N83cHr2wrPwmcHC3VMQ

A thousand times this. Concacaf is practically a different sport than what you see at the World Cup. At least we mostly get a break from it this qualifying cycle and can focus more on the non-concacaf version.

Cavan Sullivan - “best 14 yr old in the WORLD” Cavan Sullivan of the @PhilaUnion will have many a choices for his next endeavor professionally but scouts from @ManCity believe he is the “best 14yr old in the world”….and they aren’t exaggerating. @BlackYellow naturally very interested as well...

And to add to it, regarding pass blocking: https://x.com/andrew_russell7/status/1767382565264998887?s=42&t=sK7N83cHr2wrPwmcHC3VMQ

This is a potentially great scheme fit though https://x.com/scottbarrettdfb/status/1767375164801454187?s=42&t=sK7N83cHr2wrPwmcHC3VMQ

I’m going the other way with this. I’m good with Sirianni’s move here. They haven’t earned the real cheesesteaks yet. Win some playoff games, then you get John’s Roast Pork

Wasn’t sure where else to put this, but Universal is raising the stakes in 2025 https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=U4u83ncMjuE

Ok, this is the first Vision Pro example I saw where I can see the utility. I like the idea of pinning certain screens around your house. I should add…IF the screen pins stay in the place for multiple sessions. https://x.com/thekitze/status/1754189182992253156?s=42&t=sK7N83cHr2wrPwmcHC3VMQ
