Paraguay’s shameless flopping vs France’s incessant and obvious time wasting. Yikes town in Philly right now.

One way or another, it’s going to be Mbappe

Yeah pretty clear pen there

Watching Morocco

MOROCCO

if this flag offends you, i’ll help you pack

I will miss my small adult son

I was very doom forward on our pod yesterday and the last 24 hours have me feeling vindicated as hell.

The NWSL is back and I’m missing it tonight and I am upset in a way that’s going to now result in me stapling myself to the couch for the remainder of the weekend so I don’t miss anything else

I want to know less about people I want to go back to "Stars: they're just like us" and the similarity is a photo someone took in a bush of Jude Law ripping a Marlboro Red and holding Dunkin coffee and that's AS MUCH AS I KNOW ABOUT HIM

Hell yeah, Egypt

What’s the most runs given up by a team in a week? Asking for the Padres, who still have to play the Dodgers twice before that week is over (and another time on Sunday).

I don’t know how but in some form or fashion Emma Sears is going to end up with Gotham.

👀👀👀

Oh I’m salty about this. It’s a penalty but any decision that allows Ronaldo to experience joy is the wrong decision imo.

CROATIA

Feeling really justified in rooting for Arsenal players to be sent home for the rest because jesus

Now we appeal the Balogun suspension in the Northern District of Texas

Ball don’t lie baby

VAR is pro-Belgium, yes? That’s the only conclusion we can reach after these last two games.

VAR was good one time in my life and now I’d like it to go away forever

Oh no

Would be sick to sub Pulisic off for someone useful

BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP

THAT ONE COUNTS

Time to spend the rest of the tournament actively rooting against the Belgians.

This sucks, man

Oh no Senegal

That first touch was insane

Sene-going on to the round of 16, more like!!

I’ve spent the bulk of my time covering both the Cubs and Padres frustrating as hell but this is the first time where I’m having a blast. The content is delicious on either side of it.

Craig Stammen asking the umpires for reassurance that he’s doing a good job. That’s why he was out there for so long.

Idk, man, considering the teams chasing the Cubs in the wild card if their offense can just avoiding cratering for an entire month again getting one of the top two spots, at least, should be pretty easy.

Jesus Christ, Dansby (complimentary)

Dansby Swanson is out of control right now

DR Congo v Mexico would have been so much more fun.

This is deeply upsetting but if you’re going to go down it might as well be on a banger like that. Jesus.

UH OH ENGLAND

How I like to imagine Arsenal players react once they’re eliminated from the World Cup

Hm. Wild that he said something other than what the audio clearly indicated he said.

Major League Baseball* is in a really, really bad place from a cultural standpoint so going to spend the rest of my night upset about that. (*I’ve coached long enough to know where it starts but this is where my attention lies so)

On the Cubs end of things, Dansby & Bregman homering in the same game (let alone the same inning) feels kind of surreal.

Feels like this series sandwiched between two Dodger matchups could be the inflection point where the Padres collapse completely. Duct tape starting staff is cooked and those hitters — the guys in down years and the barely replacement level guys — aren’t getting any better.

This is the JP Sears I would’ve expected against Atlanta last week. Guy is real life Ted Striker sweating on the mound and can’t find the zone except to allow quality contact.

Just reupping this, for no particular reason

Sure wouldn’t mind Barcola doing that for Arsenal next season…………… (I know he’s not leaving PSG)

I’m rooting for Ivory Coast anyway but I’m also at a point in the tournament where I want Arsenal players to lose to get them a break — especially given who’s left and their respective 2025-26 injury histories — so Haaland just ruined two things there.

I really need Haaland to go away forever, man. Stop ruining my life.

we saw two misses wide left, a doink, a standing one-handed swat save, and a gk fish flop himself into an own goal — funniest pk shootout i've seen in a very long time lmao
