Argentina putting all their hopes on Messi

Messi’s heel turn is crazy.

They thought a conference would stop your boy from watching World Cup. 😂

New Orleans is easily the most out of pocket place I've ever been (complimentary).

Been in a conference all day so I haven't seen any of the match, but it's now clear to me that France ate the diarrhea salad. That's the only way I can explain their falloff.

Two American servicemembers were killed in Jordan. We owe them a debt we can never repay.  My deepest condolences to their families, and my thoughts are with those who are injured and still missing.

Same, tbh.

Now we’re cooking.

Today I found out that babadook wine party lady later went on to create Widow’s Bay. And it all makes sense.

Well at least one Seattle club still knows ball.

About to host a reception with our Oregon counterparts and dreading the soccer banter. Why does this have to be the night after Portland dogwalked the Sounders?

This means demand is dramatically outpacing refining capacity. I have no background in energy markets, but this would also seem to indicate an attempt to manipulate the oil markets, because otherwise this doesn’t make much sense.

An insider trading subscription service. Incredible!

The Sounders had over a month to rest up and prepare for this match. The let a coach-less Timbers team that had been struggling beat them 1-5 in their own house. There should be heads rolling after this.

7am beep tests for everyone. Staff too.

Congratulations to the back to back MLS is Back champs, the Portland Timbers.

So I'm on the road, left my phone in a cab, still figured out how to watch the Sounders, only for them to get dogwalked by Portland. I think I owe the people I sold my tickets to a refund.

😂

Thank God. I'm headed to New Orleans tomorrow and was thinking "how am I going to cool off without some Nog?"

Ok, now I'm interested.

Nothing but respect for MY World Cup Champions.

Dang Roger, fired in less than hour. 😂 www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

$24m? This must be Jamie’s punishment for coming in last in his fantasy football league.

World Bank:

Just seeing the match for the first time, but France played even worse than described. They're starting from a higher point, but almost a US-style collapse. Someone give them diarrhea salad?

It sucks that we decide who gets decent transit based on the wealth of a community (Pierce generates about 60% of what King does) but we've got to at least match the rates that all the other major agencies collect.

How dare you demote my Queen, Elder Sheeran.

Congratulations to His Majesty The King of Spain, Felipe Juan Pablo Alfonso de Todos los Santos de Borbón y Grecia, now also, the Prince of Andorra.

If we are, it's not gonna be the way you want to be talked about. For example, did you know that Quisling was a guy's name?

Still like the idea of being able to say I'm from the Slaughter Peninsula.

This is piracy, which is subject to universal jurisdiction, meaning any country prosecute everyone involved.

Alaska:

Doyle’s, a pub by my building, does World Cup watch parties with a huge TV in what's usually their parking lot between buildings. Apparently, a woman asked if they could show Love Island and the owner agreed. So I just walked by and a couple hundred people are watching this show like a sport.

The moderate position is shutting down these companies and exiling the senior leadership. Everyone else gets re-education working on fire lines.

Qualifying already does the job of giving every nation a chance to compete and making Italians sad.

Hey there, why don’t you take a break from political news and instead join us on a hunt for rare mosses and liverworts in one of the PNW’s most unique microclimates www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news...

Ok, now I'm regretting not getting tickets to the block party. This DJ’s remix of “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” is incredible.

I'll be out of town, but the rest of you can see a soccer championship hoisted.

More soccer drama…

There's a block party drag show next to my building. Not my thing, but sounds like people are having a blast and the music is incredible. Have a lovely time but make sure to drink some water friends.

Binah makes a great point. On the 250th anniversary of France saving our ass, it’s time for Americans to rally behind Les Bleus.

Ok, here’s my best case scenario: It’s coming home… in a box. Then France makes Messi cry in the final.

Sweet goal though.

There are no teams I can root for left in this tournament. 😢
