Taqueria González takes over former Burger Time
SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (KELO) – Another food truck in Sioux Falls has made the move inside to a brick-and-mortar storefront. The old Burger Time building on West 12th Street is once again serving up food, only this time it's offering Mexican-style hamburguesas and hot dogs, along with tacos, burritos and more. Prison consultant does Q and A on Tuesday Ricardo González opened up Taqueria González this past weekend as a physical location for his food truck that's been running for almost two years. We stopped in to talk to him about his new space and his sister-in-law, Audrey Chavez, provided his translation. 'He said that he wanted to make Taqueria González a bigger place, a place where people could come and enjoy the food because when he had the food truck, it was a lot of going to them or they had to come to us because we would end up switching locations,' Chavez said while translating for González. 'He just wanted a bigger location where everyone could come and enjoy the food, sit down, talk a little bit, get to know us.' González says moving from a food truck to a physical location has also allowed him to expand his menu. Some of the new food options include Mexican-style tortas from his home city of Zacatecas in Central Mexico, as well as family platters and Menudo soup. He says many of his recipes come from his mom. 'He said he just wants them to come try out the food, get to know us and we'll take care of them with the best service that we are able to give,' Chavez said while translating for González. You can order from Taqueria González by walking up to the window, going through the drive-thru or online through DoorDash. As for the food truck, González says that will still be available for special events or if he gets enough staff to manage both spots, the truck will be moving around the city again.

FAQs about the Spirit's coaching shuffle. Plus: USWNT meeting Hayes' deadline
Full Time Newsletter ⚽| This is 's weekly women's soccer newsletter. Sign up here to receive Full Time directly in your inbox. Meg is off today enjoying a rare sunny day in Vermont, so it's me, Emily Olsen, here with Tamerra Griffin — welcome to Full Time! Spirit's Shuffle Another coaching change in Washington Stop me if you've heard this one before: The Washington Spirit have changed coaches. Advertisement Two-time UEFA Champions League-winning coach Jonatan Giráldez is headed to OL Lyonnes, another club under owner Michele Kang's umbrella. Let's start with the news. After just 377 days in charge of the Spirit, Giráldez will join the eight-time champions of Europe starting this summer. The 33-year-old is leaving the NWSL club halfway through the season. Sources close to Kang told The Athletic this was not a preplanned move and that it came about when Lyonnes' former coach, Joe Montemurro, made it clear he was going to leave the club after just one season. The Australia women's national team announced it hired Montemurro earlier today. Assistant Spirit coach Adrián González, who led the team through a successful 15 matches last season while Giraldéz finished his Champions League run with Barcelona, will step into the managing role on July 18. Advertisement I've covered the Spirit in some capacity since 2015. If I had a nickel for every coaching change I've seen in that decade, I'd have nine. NINE! Sure, it's not enough to afford the new Inciardi art prints the team sells on game day, but that's still a lot of change for one team. Those changes include coaches dismissed for misconduct, interims, a single-game stint by Angela Salem in the ill-fated 2022 season and now the give-and-go situation happening with Giráldez and González. Spirit forward Trinity Rodman, one of the faces of NWSL, has yet to have a single coach for more than one season at her club. When I asked her at the end of last year how the team was able to get to two NWSL championships (winning one), she took an approach à la Bane's 'I was born in it' comment in 'The Dark Knight Rises': 'It's almost scarier when it's smooth sailing,' she said. What to expect from González González is no stranger to Washington. In fact, he might be one of the most consistent head coaches in the last few years, even if some of that time was spent as both an interim and assistant coach. Advertisement González led Washington through preseason last year and to a 10-1-4 record through the first fifteen games. He helped the team to some of its best expected goal stats since 2021. (He did so with a healthy roster, something the Spirit haven't had recently.) During the Olympic break last year, Giráldez took over. He built on González's strong start to lead the Spirit to the 2024 NWSL Championship, which they lost 1-0 to the Orlando Pride. Now, a year later, the reverse will happen. The Spirit have dealt with a spate of injuries this season, headlined by Rodman, but are currently fourth in the NWSL table with a record of 6-1-3, five points behind No. 1 Kansas City Current. González will have the international break, starting June 23, to reset with the team. However, the organization saw his familiarity with the players as a positive. Kang said González 'knows the team and has earned this organization's trust.' Advertisement Is this a bad thing? Multi-club models have long been seen as corporate cash grabs at best and sportswashing at worst (on the men's side). Kang has been well aware of that perception since she first looked to create Kynisca Sports International, a multi-team global women's soccer organization, by purchasing OL Lyonnes in 2023. She later purchased the only independently owned team in England's second tier of women's soccer, and her investment helped the team get promoted to the WSL. The businesswoman told Forbes last year that the multi-club model is a 'necessity' in the women's game, especially when it comes to resource sharing. However, Kang has made it clear that players don't fall into that category. Advertisement Despite the awkward optics here, González has a strong track record as Washington's coach, so Kang seems to be keeping up her promise not to sacrifice the good of one team for the other. And she isn't the only one expanding, as Kansas City Current owners Angie and Chris Long showed last week with their investment in Danish club HB Koge. Whether women's soccer is paving a new way forward or adopting the bad habits from the men's side will take time to become clear.

USWNT's Core Values Hayes' team 'on track' for June deadline Head coach Emma Hayes said last week that the USWNT is still 'on track' to meet her June deadline for establishing a core group of players that will lead the U.S. in World Cup qualifying next year. She's even found the space to start developing the under-23 group the way she hoped she could at the start of the year (more on that in a sec). Advertisement Despite not having Triple Espresso (Rodman, Sophia Wilson and Mallory Swanson), this team isn't totally without its caffeine. Sam Coffey scored her second U.S. goal with a wonder strike in the team's 3-0 win over China on Saturday. Coffey — who leads with devotion, as she recently told Tamerra — is part of a midfield that's finally jelling, alongside Lindsey Heaps and Lily Yohannes. The team also has its 'security blanket' back with the return of Naomi Girma. A fun aside: Coffey's game-worn jersey from the match, along with several other U.S. players' jerseys, were up for auction during the game (and there's still time to bid). Coffey's jersey is currently a great value pick for a goal scorer. Advertisement Keep an eye out for the youths Hayes has been as adamant about developing this younger national team as she has been about narrowing down her group for 2027 World Cup qualifying. She sees the two projects as interdependent. That's why players like Jaedyn Shaw (20 years old), Korbin Albert (21) and Mia Fishel (24), who have senior caps (and in Shaw and Albert's case, Olympic gold medals), were named to this camp. This is your reminder to start paying attention to the U-23s, made up almost entirely of professional players, during this camp. They played in two very fun (and refreshingly well-attended!) matches against Germany near Stuttgart on Friday and again today. The teams split results, each side claiming a dramatic 2-1 victory sealed in the final minutes. Ironically, in the May 30 match, it was Evelyn Shores — the only collegiate player on the roster — who netted the go-ahead in the dying seconds of stoppage time to give the U.S. the win. Advertisement Today, in the second fixture, Albert converted a penalty drawn by the Portland Thorns' Caiya Hanks to get the U.S. on the board. But this time, German midfielder Tuana Mahmoud was the national hero with a soaring strike that U.S. and Bay FC goalkeeper Jordan Silkowitz managed to only get a few fingers on. Props to the German Football Federation for streaming both matches on YouTube. What to Watch 📺 USWNT vs. Jamaica The U.S. closes this window with a friendly against Jamaica at Energizer Park in St. Louis, Mo. The game was originally scheduled to be a second against China but had to be changed due to a scheduling conflict for the Chinese. Advertisement 📺 Spain vs. England UEFA Nations League continues tomorrow with the final round of matches before this summer's European Championship in Switzerland. And after an emphatic 6-0 win over Portugal to silence the Mary Earps chatter from the public, England take on Spain for a final test before Sarina Wiegman unveils the squad she's taking to the Euros. Full Time First Looks Never too late: USWNT midfielder Lo'eau LaBonta became the oldest player to debut for the U.S. women when the 32-year-old took the field in place of the 17-year-old Yohannes on Saturday. Meg Linehan caught up with the KC captain last week to discuss her first call-up. Teaming up: The Mexican Football Federation will join the U.S. as co-host for the 2031 Women's World Cup, a federation spokesperson confirmed to on Friday. The two nations originally went in on a 2027 bid before backing out. Brazil will host that year's tournament. Advertisement Tears, anger, end of hope: Blackburn Rovers' senior Women's team have been demoted from the Women's Super League 2 after the club decided against meeting the required licensing criteria to retain their tier-two status, plunging the women's set-up into an uncertain future. Megan Feringa reported on the anger, sadness and loss of trust from those impacted by the decision. 📫 Love Full Time?

What Timothée's ex really thinks of his new relationship
Timothée Chalamet's ex, Mexican actress and singer Eiza González, has reacted to his new romance with Kylie Jenner. The Baby Driver star gave a surprising response when asked about Chalamet's new relationship during Cosmopolitan's Cheap Shots segment. González read the question card she was given aloud: 'You made headlines for liking a photo of Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner, what really went on between you and Timothée?' Instead of choosing to take a shot, the 35-year-old decided to answer. 'I did like it, they look so cute together, they look so in love and cute and I'm obsessed with them and I love Timmy,' she said.

Credit: Michael Buckner/GG2025 / Penske Media via Getty Images González and Chalamet had a romantic fling back in June 2020, when they were spotted kissing in Cabo by paparazzi. But, she kept the details of their tryst under wraps and instead heaped praise on his career success. 'I think he is the most talented, sweetest boy and I'm just so proud to see him thriving and doing great in his career, González continued. 'We're just good friends. I have nothing but amazing things to say about him.' González's kind-hearted words come just weeks after the headline-making couple made their red carpet debut at the 70th David Di Donatello awards.

She wore a black Schiaparelli gown and Chalamet wore a black velvet Tom Ford suit as they posed affectionately for photographs. Chalamet received the award for Cinematic Excellence following his recent roles in the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown, as well as Dune: Part Two.

Atlanta Braves Make Major Coaching Move on Monday
Atlanta Braves Make Major Coaching Move on Monday originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Atlanta Braves currently hold a 27-31 record, placing them in fourth within the division and well behind the red-hot New York Mets and Philadelphia Phillies, who were both hovering around .620 winning percentages. Advertisement Contributing to Atlanta's uneven start of the 2025 season has been the loss of rookie right-hander AJ Smith-Shawver, who was recently diagnosed with a torn ulnar collateral ligament and is expected to miss the remainder of 2025. Amid the turbulence on the field, a significant change has transpired on the coaching front. On Monday, the club announced the return of Fredi González as third base coach. Simultaneously, longtime Braves coach Matt Tuiasosopo has accepted a new role as the organization's Minor League Infield Coordinator. González, a Cuban-born coach and manager now 61 years old, is a familiar face in Atlanta. Advertisement He began his Major League coaching career with the Braves as a third base coach from 2003-2006 before being hired to manage the Florida Marlins in October 2006. Over four seasons in Miami, González guided the Marlins to back-to-back winning records in 2008 and 2009 and was honored as Sporting News Manager of the Year in 2008 after leading the Marlins to an 84-77 record. Atlanta lured González back in October 2010, naming him the successor to legendary skipper Bobby Cox. Atlanta Braves pitcher AJ Smith-Shawver (32)© Brad Mills-Imagn Images In his five-year tenure (2011-2016), González took the Braves to the playoffs in both 2012 and 2013, compiling an overall managerial record of 434-413. Advertisement After parting ways with the Braves in May 2016, González spent stints with the Miami Marlins (third base coach, 2017-18) and Baltimore Orioles (bench coach, 2019-21). His return to Atlanta reunites him with a front office overseen by Alex Anthopoulos and a managerial staff led by Brian Snitker.

Red Sox Get First Base Reinforcement With Romy González Reinstated
Red Sox Get First Base Reinforcement With Romy González Reinstated originally appeared on Athlon Sports. It has been a disastrous season for the Boston Red Sox's first basemen. The Opening Day starter, Triston Casas, is out for the year after undergoing knee surgery. Third baseman turned designated hitter Rafael Devers does not want to fill the void. These circumstances have forced the Red Sox to play around with rookie Kristian Campbell at the three as they continue to search for answers. Advertisement Fortunately, help is on the way. Boston's official X account recently posted this update: González has only played in 192 games over his five-year MLB career with the Red Sox and Chicago White Sox, but has performed admirably in a fill-in role. The 28-year-old has a .308 batting average, a .785 OPS, a 120 OPS+, and three stolen bases over 17 games this season. Boston Red Sox first baseman Romy Gonzalez (23) makes a catch for an out against the Chicago White Sox during the sixth inning at Fenway Canha-Imagn Images Hopefully, for Boston, he can maintain those numbers upon returning from a quad contusion. Campbell is young enough and athletic enough to mold his defensive mind into a first baseman. However, he is a natural second baseman and, in an ideal world, can remain there. Advertisement One potential option for the Red Sox is a platoon. Despite hitting from the right side, González has much better numbers against righties than lefties. He is batting .333 with a .828 OPS versus a .263 batting average and .707 OPS facing southpaws. Abraham Toro, a switch-hitter, is also better against right-handed pitching, but his plate versatility could potentially ease González's workload. Casas is still the future of the position in Boston, and it feels unlikely that one player replicates his value. However, at 29-32 and 8.5 games back of the first-place New York Yankees, the Red Sox may feel the need to hit the trade market for an immediate upgrade.
