📺 Onside: Major League Soccer ⚽️

3/10/25

Recently finished Onside: Major League Soccer, the documentary series on TV+ about the past MLS season.

It was a nice and refreshing view compared to team-specific documentaries I’ve seen in the football (⚽️) world, and I really enjoyed the variety of discovering different teams, personalities, and players!

For someone like me, based in Europe, it was super useful to learn more about this league and its personalities. I wish more teams were covered, but I’m assuming that this would be the case if the show was to get renewed for another few seasons… MLS has definitely had the perception of being the “soon-to-be in the Top 5 of football leagues in the world” for 15 years now and we’re still waiting to see it happen, but at least the marketing has been good and the level of play has increased significantly. Though there’s still a lot of work to be done at youth level for the sport to become as mainstream and universal as it is in the rest of the world.

Next up on my watchlist:

Paris Basketball v JDA Dijon (Coupe de France - Quarter finals)

2/12/25

Well… @ACMomento doesn’t yet support the basketball “Coupe de France” but last night was a nice and simple victory against JDA Dijon in the Quarter Finals round.

Yesterday’s game marked the anniversary of moving from the old Halle Carpentier on the southernmost part of town, to the shiny new Adidas Arena located in the northernmost point at Porte de la Chappelle.

Hard to believe everything that has happened so far in just over one year:

…and this year we’re still in the running for all 4 main competitions:

There will be more misery in the months ahead. But that’s reason to be hopeful. In the NBA, short-term misery can lead to long-term elation.
