6 asked me how fireworks are made tonight and that is the exact question I was hoping I'd one day be asked by my child when I was 15. Dreams do come true.

Someone has to say it. The amount of racism directed at World Cup players - including in the England squad - online is out of control.

No team has scored more set-piece goals this World Cup than the USMNT 🇺🇸

Drove by the Ghana team bus on the way to work this morning! So exciting!

Mom: "What's out coach's name?" Me: "Mauricio Pochettino" Mom: "Where's he from?" Me: "Argentina" Mom: "WE HAVE AN ARGENTINE COACH? HOW'D WE GET THAT?"

“I hope this email finds you well!” How this email finds me:

Today and every day, we stand and support trans people and athletes everywhere. Know that you belong and are loved just the way you are, and that you deserve to play the sport you love 🏳️‍⚧️🫶 📸 @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social

fun fact: Balogun in Yoruba basically means "general" or "commander" but most literally translates to "war dad"

I got to say "as an endurance athlete" during a conversation about how soccer players don't immediately get gastro-intestinal issues during a game.

Remember Matt Besler long throws? Those were so good.

Tuchel is angry on the sidelines and England looks like they do not even wanna be at the World Cup. Well done to DR Congo

If transgender people in sports bother you more than a pedophile covering up child rape, then you are disgusting.

"What does your gut say?" "New Jersey?" "What does your other gut say?"

My miis had a baby and their first words were "NileRed Toilet Paper Alcohol"

Work bestie told me she liked my shirt and that I look good in red! Then we talked about color analysis and how her wife said red's not her color and I told her that her wife is lying 😂

"the netherlands have been knocked out of 6 of the 7 world cup penalty shootouts they've been in" they're just begging for more commentator curses.

"Germany has never lost a penalty shootout in a world cup" that reads commentator curse all over it

Paraguay lost hard to the US and really it's time to lock tf in

Trans kids should be able to exist freely, fully, and joyfully.

Me: "When we take the ferry to Ireland, should I do a run on it so it looks like I ran across the Irish Sea?" Matt: looks at me like I'm crazy

The world cup is making me want to rewatch Ted Lasso but I want to bully my husband into watching it too. Also I made Roy on my Tomodachi island.

CEO stopping by my desk to ask me about whose playing 😭😭 I love this

Dad: "Is it okay if we take 3 to the Oranje Parade tomorrow?" Me: "I already gave Carrie my parental permission." Here's to hoping this is one of their earliest memories 🤞🏻

ONE YEAR TO GO! 🏆🇧🇷 The countdown to the 2027 Women's World Cup has officially begun ⏳

Me, who always wears black:

Just checking in to see if all those men so concerned about "fairness in sports" have lobbied the NCAA to ensure that travel/facilities/accommodations for female athletes are equal to their male counterparts. 🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗🦗 (ᶦᵗ ʷᵃˢ ⁿᵉᵛᵉʳ ᵃᵇᵒᵘᵗ ᶠᵃᶦʳⁿᵉˢˢ)

The most shocking thing about the #FIFAWorldCup isn’t who wins or loses, but how fucking amazing the rest of the world is, and how life could actually be if we didn’t live in this fucking hell of capitalism.

Now you can say he's broken the record.

LIONEL MESSI TIES MARTA AS THE ALL-TIME LEADING GOALSCORER IN WORLD CUP HISTORY WITH 17 GOALS 🐐⚽ Two of the greatest to ever play the game.

Soccer was invented to trick Americans into learning where other countries are.

Bold claim that Messi has more goals than anyone else in a World Cup when he only just tied Marta.

Me: "Feel free to try and break the software. That's an important part of testing." Girl I work with, eyes widening in excitement: "I was made for this!"

A Black man with the surname Freeman scored for the USA on Juneteenth in a home World Cup match.

The USMNT suddenly turned into one of the most complete team in international soccer as soon as we divided the game into four quarters. You connect the dots.

Alex Morgan next to Ellis😬

Husband took 3 to their doctor's appointment AND scheduled 6's yearly check up. Blessed (but only because I scheduled it to where he had to take 3 and made a note to schedule 6's)

My Tomodachi Life island, Purgatory, has: Sam and Dean Winchester, Castiel, me, Rumi, and an Inkling Girl. All they talk about is demon hunting 😂

Ooof. That was definitely a broken leg

I HATE stutter step penalties.

Me: humming "Three Lions" 3, pushing me: "STOP!" Me: "This is the song of your people."

Mom: "You can tell I've been really into the World Cup cause I've been sending you so many things on Instagram. Kansas City got so lucky with Argentina here! It was so much fun seeing everyone in their jerseys yesterday!" Someone replaced my mother with an imposter.

A certain halftime commentator that was previously a USWNT captain sounds physically painted having to say nice things about Egypt being up

It's been 12 years since someone sold their sole to a crossroads demon for Germany to beat Brazil 7-1 so now the curse has been lifted for two years

The only birthday of importance today

Welcome to Kansas City! Here is your complimentary tornado warning.

On this day in history 160 years ago, Congress passed the 14th Amendment to enshrine the right to birthright citizenship in our Constitution. We went to the Supreme Court earlier this year to preserve this essential right for generations to come.

Damn she fine

When people think the USMNT might be as good as the ladies after one exciting half of footy:
