⚽️ Figured I would sleep through today's Spurs 4AM friendly with the K-League All-Stars, but ended up being awake and was able to watch most of the 4-3 win. Kulusevski played striker and opened the scoring by cleaning up a deflection and then Sonny got an impressive brace before Lankshear delivered what turned out to be the winner in the second half. Yang looked promising for the all-stars in the first half and nearly got a goal.

⚽️ Looks like Chelsea and Atleti are trying to put together a Gallagher deal, but he's not convinced. I want him to sign with somebody just so he won't be linked to Spurs again.

This has probably been going on for decades, but finally put two and two together and realized that the themed team buses for international athletic events are just a local bus that got a custom wrap for the occasion. The logistics of that are so much simpler than hauling in a bus with a custom paint job.

🚀 Really disappointing that the Boeing Starliner test crew have been forced into an extended stay on ISS because of how buggy the capsule remains. Safety first of course, but having a planned one week stay turn into two plus months because you still aren't confident in sending the craft back down is pretty telling.

📺⚽️ La Liga All Access S1E6 - The Ways to Compete 👍👍 Real Betis and Getafe offer contrasting approaches to playing soccer in this one. Betis is the flare club with Isco as their current avatar, while Getafe's manager, José Bordalás, is absolutely adored by their blue collar fanbase for his tough pragmatic style.

📺⚽️ La Liga All Access S1E5 - The Fight of the Centenaries 👍👍 Tense look at the view from the bottom of the table for two one hundred year-old teams in danger of relegation in Celta and Villarreal. The portion focusing on Villareal keeper, Filip Jörgensen, and his girlfirend, was particular poignant given the pressure, struggles, and doubts he had to deal with over the course of this season. I was curious if he played for Sweden given his nationality, but it turns out he's switched to Denmark for U21s and has yet to play for the first team.

The Woldson Performing Arts Center just had a fire caused by one of the solar panels on their roof. It was contained pretty quickly, but figures that would be the problem with one of the newer buildings on campus at Gonzaga.

🏀📺 For what it's worth I'm way more likely to watch the NBA regularly again in the Amazon Prime post-TNT era. It also sounds like Amazon would like to bring over the Inside the NBA crew, which doesn't surprise me, they're the best part of what TNT brought to their relationship.

⚽️ Absolutely ridiculous that men's soccer is a 16 team tournament and women's is still 12. Kind of wonder if that's even legal in the United States whenever we host the Olympics because of Title IX?

⚽️ Peacock has a ton of men's and women's Olympic soccer so looking forward to catching some of those matches.

One annoying issue with YouTube's web uploader is that occasionally it flakes out with Safari and gets stuck in an in-between state where the video I'm uploading doesn't get published. At least yesterday's video was just stuck in Draft mode but fine otherwise.

Weirdly hazy and overcast conditions keeping the temperatures down a bit this morning compared to yesterday.
