- ICYMI: Over on Toros Talk I broke down the early season of Lucho Acosta. What's working, what isn't(a lot), why it isn't, and how it can be solved. torostalk.substack.com/p/mls-lucho-...
- My latest at Toros Talk: Lucho Acosta hasn’t been the player Dallas thought they were getting. Why is that, how can he be, and why potentially is it a whole team problem? open.substack.com/pub/torostal...
- Tomorrow on Toros Talk, it’s time to have a chat. What about? Well…
- That Nolan xG number though 👀👀👀

- When even posting the post game show is struggling you know it was a tough night in Frisco town.

- Look, I know *points at world* has changed some vibes on the ‘26 World Cup. But letting go one of if not the best US soccer feature writers going a year before it kicks off is just stupid. No two ways about it. Hopefully someone else benefits from this bad decision.
- *Some professional news*: After 7+ years, my time at The Athletic is coming to an end in June. I have dozens of great feature ideas & am eager to keep doing great work ahead of the World Cup and beyond. Somebody hire me! My DMs are open - please reach out, or find me at pablomaurer.com.
- 1. The momentum chart shows quite clearly that the match turned when FCD made the formation change. Stats match the eyes. 2. Holy Lord Pedrinho’s G+ number is wild. But uh, look who is at #4 on that list 👀
- Oh. My. God.
- Meanwhile in other sports, the Whitecaps are doing some scary things. If they’re coming to your city, A. Buy a ticket and B. Pray for their opponent. They’re gonna need it.
- Will Campbell looking like he just stepped out of a Mafia game
- The Cool Beans cheeseburger and seasoned waffle fries from when I was in college. It was my Friday staple. Had it a couple years after and it just wasn’t the same. Not sure if it was me or them, but it remains sad.

- Make. The. Run. It’s always a good idea and O’Brien just showed why in dramatic fashion.
- Heartbreaking. Paul is such a good dude. Hopefully he recovers from this and comes back stronger.
- When Vermes gets the ax eventually, this is the logical outcome while they’re in between managers.

- Big news for Saturday's fixture at Toyota Stadium between FC Dallas and Vancouver Whitecaps.
- I really love this breakdown. Tackles a lot of what the problems were for the Toros in that loss to Chicago.
