2025 was such a fun year and I’m confident 2026 will be even better. Happy New Year everyone! 🎉

27 years of traveling and this view never gets old 🇵🇾☀️

New York Knicks winning something in my lifetime, what a crazy year lmao

This is horrifying omg

Mel Brooks having to bury Rob Reiner is against all laws of nature and I’m not ok about it

Rob Reiner, the legendary director and actor who rose to prominence in 'All in the Family' and went on to direct classics 'This Is Spinal Tap,' 'Stand by Me,' and 'The Princess Bride,' was found dead in his home alongside his wife. Story: rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv...

THE WORLD CUP GROUPS ARE SET 🚨

Early impressions on Paraguay's World Cup group: Difficult but accessible. Turkey possibly being the UEFA team makes it more difficult. Overall, an open group for everyone & having the first two games vs USA/a UEFA team will be vital for Paraguay to progress to the World Cup.

Let the games begin.

USA VS PARAGUAY AT THE WORLD CUP

It only took an hour for the World Cup draw to be entertaining, thank you Lauryn Hill

WORLD CUP DRAW is here. Join the fun in our extremely busy liveblog: www.espn.com/soccer/story...

Happy World Cup draw day!

My highly anticipated 2025 Spotify Wrapped that nobody asked for

No, YOU'RE stressing over World Cup draw simulators for the umpteenth time

Estêvão is going right to the very top. There is no hesitation about that.

Eberechi Eze is everything you want in an Arsenal cult hero: rejects bitter rivals to signs for boyhood club and scores a hat trick in his first North London derby. What a player.

Paraguay end a magical 2025 with a 2-1 win over Mexico in San Antonio. Gustavo Alfaro gets his first friendly win in charge and is now 7-6-3 as Paraguay boss. Four wins, three draws and three losses in 2025 and a qualification to a World Cup after 16 years. 17 days until the World Cup draw! 🇵🇾

I love international soccer SO SO MUCH.

Concacaf truly delivered. Hell, qualifying in just about every confederation brought some truly unforgettable scenes this week

Current qualifiers: 🇵🇦 🇨🇼 🇭🇹 Current playoff: 🇯🇲 🇸🇷 I've seen enough! 0-0 in San Jose means HAITI is into the World Cup for the first time since 1974, SURINAME is into the playoff and neither Costa Rica nor Honduras will be in North America.

HAITI ARE GOING TO THEIR FIRST WORLD CUP IN 52 YEARS!! 🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹

FT: #usmnt 5-1 Uruguay. An utterly dominating performance. First international goals from Berhalter, Tessmann & Freeman, with the Orland City man adding a second for good measure. Thought U.S. managed the game better in the 2nd half. Heck of a way to end the international calendar. Bring on 2026.

Wait what do you mean the USMNT is beating Uruguay 4-0

If you’re a longtime suffering sports fan, seeing your country qualify for the World Cup either for the first time or after a long time is one of the greatest feelings ever. One of the pros of the expanded tournament in 2026. Beautiful scenes throughout the entire year ❤️

THE GAME THAT PUT SCOTLAND IN THE WORLD CUP FOR THE FIRST TIME IN ALMOST 30 YEARS 🍿 - Overhead kick from McTominay - Tierney curler for the winner - Half-field stunner from McLean ABSOLUTE MAYHEM 😱

Had the privilege to attend my first soccer game with ESPN covering the United States‘ 2-1 win over Paraguay at Subaru Park in Chester, Pennsylvania. A special game for me because of my Paraguayan roots but more importantly, another great milestone! 🇺🇸🆚🇵🇾⚽️

Special game tonight. 🇺🇸🆚🇵🇾⚽️

Write about the broader implications of data-driven decision-making on the aesthetics of a sport, and Arsenal fans post comments on an Instagram picture of your fiancée. Write an article about how Arsenal are easily the best team in the Premier League, and Arsenal fans … barely say anything.

Great way to spend a Sunday evening: watching my first ever @uswnt.ussoccer.com match 🇺🇸⚽️

48 hours in Italy isn’t a bad idea after all 🇮🇹

$675 to watch Paraguay at three World Cup group stage games 😬

First ever #NWSL match and it didn’t disappoint AT ALL ⚽️

🇵🇾🌟 Brighton & Hove Albion's Diego Gómez after his four goals vs Barnsley: - First Paraguayan ever to score four goals in a single match in English football - First South American ever to score four goals for #BHAFC - First Paraguayan in 68 YEARS to score four goals in a single match in Europe

Lamine Yamal is EIGHTEEN. This won’t be his final time at these type of award ceremonies. Knowing how great he could be with the upward trajectory he is currently at, he might win 10 Ballon d’Ors by the time he retires. Let Ousmane Dembélé have his moment!

Incredible turnaround story for him. After leaving Barcelona, he heads to PSG and becomes instrumental in their first ever Champions League win. A deserved win, huge moment for French football as he enters the pantheon forever.
