In November of this past year, the State of Mississippi voted overwhelmingly to adopt a new flag to represent their state, replacing one that prominently displayed the Confederate battle flag, which was retired last June. The new flag, which you can see in the header photo of this article, is absolutely
spectacular from a design standpoint, featuring a prominent, stylized magnolia and the words “In God We Trust.”
The last time I did flag ratings on this blog, it was pretty fun and pretty popular. So why not go back go the well? State flags are a good way to extend that fun, because there are some truly great state flags. and some pretty dang awful ones too.

Each year, color specialists Pantone releases a list of color swatches that are meant to both evoke the seasons and also inspire designers that create the high fashion clothing pieces in places like New York, London, and Milan. Colors are neat, and every couple of years I like to return to this well for player ratings themes. I did one of these in 2016 and again in 2018. After a 2-1 Tottenham Hotspur loss to Liverpool on a 90th minute goal that felt like a kick in the teeth, sometimes it’s nice to forget about that feeling and just look at some pretty colors.

Today’s player ratings do not have a theme. Why, you ask? Because these things take a lot more time than you probably realize, there’s the Liverpool match tomorrow, I’m having a busy week at the day job, and this website is free. Sue me.
5 stars:
4 stars:
Harry Kane (Community 3.5): Disappeared along with everyone else in the second half, but took his goal very well. That wasn’t easy and was as much his shot as Guaita’s mistake.
Toby Alderweireld (Community 3.5): Solid at the back again (5 tackles!), and it looks like he’s regained his previous form after a spell on the bench early in the season.
