Looks like NWSL Boston first came up with the "BOS Nation FC" idea over 10 months ago. BOSNation[dot]com was registered on December 4, 2023, and redirects to BOSNationFC[dot]com, which was registered 10 days later. (see screenshots) www.cbssports.com/soccer/news/...

ICANN Lookup result for "bosnation.com".  The domain was first registered on "2023-12-04" at "17:56:16 UTC".

Oof. Duke is up 2-nil against Stanford within 5 minutes. Maggie Graham with a 15-second brace (3:53, 4:07).

My father's T-Mobile SIM card, which was newer ("micro"-sized), but on the same 'legacy' prepaid plan, also stopped working on the same day, so it appears that this was something on T-Mo's end. Moved both accounts to new SIM cards and everything's working normally. (2/2)

Had to retire a 16-year-old SIM card after it would no longer connect to T-Mobile's towers. It was for a prepaid line I used as a back-up, so temporarily losing service was just an annoyance. Except, it's the number I tend to use for 2FA. (1/2)

Back and front of a full-sized T-Mobile SIM card, "39.01a" vintage.  The copper contacts have three wear lines and other scratches, plus some dust in the crevices.  The SIM card number is blurred.

The final paragraph: "Therefore this book consists of Fitzgerald cleverness. So do Fitzgerald's other books. And perhaps the author can go on to the end of his career making books out of cleverness. But, if he does, the end of his career will be preceded by the end of his fame."

That Mexico-Australia U-20 WWC match was the soccer gods equivalent of "right result, wrong reasons". (AUS missed a PK, MEX's 1st goal was a wild deflection off a teammate that then hit a goalpost and went in.)

Update on that article about Major League Soccer starting a professional women's soccer league: The website "has decided to retract the story". Screenshot from X .com:
