Obviously not an athlete but a comment on the altitude as a commentator who spent 9 days in Mexico and commentated on 2 🇲🇽 games at the Azteca. The feeling at altitude is different. Throughout my time there always felt the need to take longer, deeper breaths.

This might be the most blatant example in existence of "rich guy who created a problem attempting to place the blame for that problem on immigrants"

Sometimes if people want to get hit by lightning you just let them

The security guard at the door:

If I'm ever gonna believe in God, tonight would be a great chance for the big guy to give me a sign. ⚡

lightning I've never asked very much from you but tonight I have a few favors to ask

lol lol lol lol lol lol oh it’s tussling outside

This is amazing (derogatory)😭😭😭😭

nobody in the press wants to address the fact that almost everybody at the upper echelons of tech is a full on eugenist nazi

Lol

Personal take is that the awful refereeing did not help Paraguay in the end: as their shithousery was going unpunished, they felt they could get away with more (which they did) and forgot that they too could play some football. And so goodbye and good riddance.

Zlatan: "I would get 4 red cards in this game"

Paraguay’s “performance” tonight gives me even more appreciation for how Cabo Verde approached that game against Argentina last night.

Mbappe just laughing at Paraguay at the end of the game. Exactly what they deserve after that.

I get the frustration of the French team but you gotta walk away. Fighting is all Paraguay has left to try and get French players carded. Go celebrate winning and sending those dipshits home.

Wenger era “don’t like it up ‘em” gaslighting ptsd here.

Galarza should have seen reds in multiple games at this point

Can't wait for Paraguay to go home. Disgraceful team of cheats and thugs.

I love that Saliba ran down that ball so strongly that douchebag Almiron cramped his hamstring. #ArsenalWorldCup

That's a penalty. Has to be.

Everyone on Paraguay is such a shithead

Once again 🫡🇫🇷🥖

i fully support michael oliver's effort to make himself the star of the show by sending off hakimi

I'm heading out for a bit so here's the 2nd half pausa de hidratación in advance

My ig reels feed is now all videos of Cabo Verde and I'm not mad at it. It's a beautiful place.

I hate Marsch but I do not have it in me to root for Hakimi and Morocco so

Any good cults around offering free room and board? I'm open to options if it means I can quit my toxic job. 😂😭

🚨 Arsenal & Besiktas have agreed a €20m deal for Leandro Trossard. Besiktas would pay initial €18m +€2m add-ons for 31 y/o. Personal terms yet to be finalised. Deal unlikely to progress until after WC. For @theathleticfc.bsky.social w/ @adamleventhal.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/athletic/737...

Goodbye Leo 😔 We'll never forget you.

There are only two games today? We've gotta stop eliminating teams or we won't have any games left!

A single black woman surrounded by hooded white supremacists is certainly a chilling image.

I wanted VAR for when cheats dived and assholes tried to cripple players and the officials missed it. I did not want it to rule out goals because a player has a face.

new metaphor just dropped

Dave Ramsey has spent the last 30 years describing the failure of American consumer life and never once diagnosing the cause You Can’t personal responsibility out of exploitive systems

So is Angel City bad at everything? I just saw the video from last night of fireworks misfiring and going into the crowd 😨

i'm all for an expanded world cup as long as we can figure out a way to do it without declan rice playing another 90 minutes that will lead to him falling down injured in the second match of the pl season

NEW What really went on: Rather than weather….FIFA nearly rescheduled England v Mexico due to primary concerns raised around safety of supporters for evening kick off, giving fears to earlier runway for pre-match drinking & post-match late night gatherings www.nytimes.com/athletic/742...

Glad to have Wally back in the WSL even if it's not for us. 🥹

I'm gonna bookmark this for my next paycheck because 🫦🦈

WHAT A BEAUTY OF A BALL FROM LEICY SANTOS, WHAT A BEAUTY OF A GOAL FROM TRINITY RODMAN ❤️‍🔥

You can get one of those sick Cabo Verde warmup shirts with the sharks on it here (thank you to @dianamonkey.bsky.social for telling me this info!) capellisport.com/collections/...

I don't know if I have the energy to stay up for another game. 🫩

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

Thierry Henry: "The story is, was, and always will be Cabo Verde. When you believe that you can, that's what can happen."

See you all in Praia

What a tournament from Cabo Verde. Automatic participation for life after that is in order.
