sad the World Cup is over; not sad that (hopefully) we’ve come to the end of white people who live in the Unites States of America in the year of our lord 2026 going on and about Argentina being a racist country

that golden hand trophy is creepy af

Lamine Yamal é campeão da Copa do Mundo.

that was beautiful

Instead of Super Bowl rings and halftime shows, the thing that football should adopt from American sports is old school MLB mascot animations with like a comedy hotdog man that pops up to get amusingly nutmegged every time a player gets nutmegged

do they always have these old men in blazers yelling?

what happens when you try to coax a dog down a staircase guarded by a vicious and frankly terrifying cat

lol

Saka!

I like Olise’s scrunchie

kinda feel like it would have been cool if saka had started the last game instead of this one

the company with the diarrhea lettuce also makes protein lettuce

tfw the splitting headache from the heatwave is replaced by the splitting headache from the smoke

trying to decide whether I should choose my premier league team based on my friends and culture, favorite players, or fondness for Rodger’s and Hammerstein (also my culture)

kinda feel like they shoulda played saka

feel like I’ve achieved a new level of football fandom by being genuinely furious with a manager today

sometimes the Trump curse makes you immediately crash out against Belgium and sometimes the Trump curse makes you accidentally on purpose stop playing soccer 30 minutes early against Argentina but the trump curse will get you in the end

I dunno I feel like maybe they should try to score again

djed took his face mask off and achieved a new level

damn mr bingley

Declan Rice loves to show a little thigh

truly creepy ai smoothie shack art that boldly asks the question, “what if glass is also juice?”

was just walking down my block with Georgie and two men walking behind me started talking about how cute Georgie is (accurate) and then how she’s the perfect size (accurate) to kidnap (uhhh what) and how easy it would be to just pick her up and carry her out of an apartment (inaccurate, thankfully)

it is perhaps not the most important nor the most interesting lesson, but i do think that one thing people should take away from the l'affaire platner is the importance of never watching videos online

feel like there's a non zero chance we get platner on tucker carlson railing against the hr ladies who brought him down by the end of the year
