📺 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:

Drive to Survive (Season 7), before the start of the new Formula 1 season, this weekend.
The Handmaid’s Tale (Season 5) for research…

Absolutely stoked to read a story on my old neighborhood basketball court in the New York Times (by way of The Athletic)

I used to play about 1.5 to 2 hours there every Sunday mornings back when we used to live in Montmartre/Pigalle!

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

2/11/25

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:

2023-2024 Leaders Cup champions
2023-2024 EuroCup champions
2023-2024 Betclic Elite runner-ups

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

2024-2025 Euroleague
2024-2025 Betclic Elite
2024-2025 Coupe de France
2025 Leaders Cup

People are gathered outside an illuminated entrance labeled 'HALL SUD,' under a large structure with the word 'ANNIVERSAIRE' displayed in lights.

Kendrick’s set was My Super Bowl. Incredible set and performance with many clever layers! For anyone who’s curious or wanting to discover more about it, there’s (already) a Dissect podcast episode ready to go.

🏀 An update on my Washington Oui-OuiZards:

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.
