Heartbreaking for Croatia 😔⚽️ 💔 This is why I hate VAR 🤦🏽‍♀️ so sad to see a match w two legends of the game come down to a flick on a bouncing barnet 😠

We love omakase riffs in Austin & Moody Tongue Brewing’s exquisite beer & sushi pairing is a truly tastebud-tastic experience Esp loved the aperol-spritzesque Daidai Pilsner, full French-bready Aperitif Pilsner & wild-funk delish Allstar Peach Sour + beautifully delicate, flavoursome sushi 🍣 🍻👌🏽

What a reprieve 😮 England do like to keep us in suspense, no? 🙃 Still not convinced they stand a chance against Mexico 😬 and please, please can we sing something other than Wonderwall?! 😂

Update: if England are going out today it’s beer & tempura at 11.30am - all bets are off 😬⚽️🍻

It’s 11am here so not ideal… 😬 C’mon England - give us something worth skiving off work for 🤞🏽⚽️

Ohmigod Paraguay making history!!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽⚽️⚽️⚽️

If I’d ever considered this before I probs would have figured out that lobster rolls belong with salty margs 👌🏽🦞🍹

Obvs not gonna miss a $5 growler of our friends at Blue Owl Brewing’s Bob’s Hot One chilli lager - perfect football fare 😁🌶️🍻 Also catching up on their ultra-sherbety Solstice Sour - Saturday cheers!

Talarico: Every bar has that guy. He’s loud, he’s obnoxious, he makes all the women in the bar feel uncomfortable. He hears you say your name to the bartender and then adds his drink to your tab when you’re not looking. That’s Paxton. And I don’t know about y’all, but I’m done picking up his tab.

Starting the weekend with a (slightly cheating) Chartreuse Old Fashioned - (faux) fancy! 💚🥃

“You don’t host a conference promising to fight for normal, and then bring in Nazis,” Really, what did they think was going to happen?? 🙄

“Many explanations have been given of what the white masses “lost” that turned them Maga.
