Nice piece with insights from Frei, and also from Schmetz on the curious case of the missing Josh Atencio.

I will say there's been a lot of talk about urgency for the past few months. It would be nice, though, to see some evidence that that translates to the pitch.

It's matchday!

Hopefully lemmy.world will be stable enough to keep this going today (it's been much better over the past few weeks).

Hi all, Another newbie question here. I manage our family's cellphone plan, which is $199.90/month for 5 lines (two in our household, 3 from other family members). The other family members reimburse me using Venmo each month.

So, I set up a category with the target amount of $199.90, due on the date that our cell phone bill is due, as per YNAB's recommendations. At the beginning of the month, I assigned $199.90 to that category. Then, when our family members' venmo payments came in, I categorized those as inflows to the cell phone account. Now, waiting for the bill, I see:

• $199.90 in "assigned"
• +$120 in "activity"
• $319.90 in "available"

All of this makes sense to me. But, it seems like now I should be able to re-assign $120 to another category. If I try that, though, it suddenly shows the category as underfunded, despite the fact that I still have $199.90 available.

Am I misunderstanding how assigned / activity / available work? Why, after $120 of inflow, is YNAB still requiring me to keep $199.90 assigned?

As much as I'd like to see him on the pitch, I am glad that they're being super cautious. Two concussions in short order is no joke. Let's let him get fully healthy so he can have a long career and life!

Not a big surprise, but now it's time to reset and get a new coach to guide the transition to the next generation.

Obviously the issues are deeper than one person, and a more thorough post-mortem is due. Still, in all, a bronze in Tokyo and a round of 16 exit in the World Cup is not a great legacy for a USWNT coach.

I was impressed with Rothrock in the USOC game and he showed well during his call-ups earlier. Glad to see him get a shot for the rest of the season, at least!

Hi all - new to YNAB - our family just got things set up. I think that we have a good grasp of the basic mechanics (we both work in jobs that interact with budgets, and just haven't applied this to our own finances rigorously before!)

But I'm wondering how you integrate YNAB into your life - what does your workflow look like? In other words: what do you do each day? With each paycheck? At the beginning of the month? How often do you sit down and review the big picture and set new goals, etc?

It would be great to hear about your rhythm and cadence for making this part of your routine, for those of us who are figuring it out for the first time!

Congrats to the Captain

Seems unlikely, but I guess if the Sounders really want to open up the spot and there are no bidders - could we see something where they eat part of the $3.2M he's due next year and send him back to Universitario?

Say, if the Sounders have a lead on a new DP and need to open up a spot, but Raul finishes the season poorly and there aren't bidders to take on the full contract. Maybe they let him go for less than his full salary, buy out the rest?

Hopefully it's all moot and he comes back on a tear, scores buckets of goals and propels us through the playoffs.
