It was really unfortunate I couldn’t attend the wedding but I had a World Cup to cover. Best wishes to the happy couple, though.

As the legend @pkedit.bsky.social announces he will retire in September, @ussoccer.com president Cindy Cone stops by to present him with a jersey in his honor. No. 55 to mark 55 years of @socceramerica.bsky.social, which was here before so many of us and hopefully still will be long after us.

Happy Canada Day 🇨🇦

The ban is heinous for what it does to transgender athletes. But if you think cisgender girls and young women won’t be caught up in the fallout, too, you are woefully ignorant

Game 3 of my World Cup adventure: New Zealand v Egypt.

The future is now for 18-year-old striker on Egypt's World Cup squad apnews.com/article/worl...

New Zealand, at No. 82 ranked fourth lowest in the tournament, has a chance to go from 'just happy to be here' to its first-ever World Cup win against Egypt.

“I didn’t want a refund. I wanted to go to the game.” As the World Cup captivates fans, some have been left outside stadium gates after resale ticket purchases fall through.

Canada plays Switzerland next. Win the group and they stay in Vancouver.

The player apologized to Kone, Marsch said.

Kone is at the hospital with his family. He is preparing for surgery, coach Jesse Marsch said.

At BC Place for Canada Qatar and they’re playing Canadian artists for the crowd. So far Bieber, Bryan Adams.

So disappointed in the @sfgiants.com. I covered them for 11 years and became a fan when I moved to PDX. I covered the 1st Until There's a Cure day & spoke to Rod Beck about why it was important, all while friends were dying. This dishonors their memory and the community. Can't be a fan any more.

Wrote about the Marta erasure. It’s really not that hard to celebrate Messi’s incredible achievement while acknowledging Marta holds the overall record.

Long before Messi or Ronaldo reached six World Cup appearances, Formiga and Homare Sawa did it in 2015, then Marta and Christine Sinclair did it in 2023. Formiga is the only player (male or female) to have played in seven World Cup tournaments.
