A lot of talk about Tuchel’s decisions but I’m choosing to believe England lost as a form of cosmic punishment for the “there’ll be no fucking Messi in New York” chants about a final that will be played not in New York but in fact in New Jersey

the World Cup final will be between two teams that Cape Verde played even through 90 minutes

Weird sun out there

Pretty good echocardiogram results, everyone say “Trout forever”

Erling Halaand returns to Norway with a stuffed raccoon.

An absolute menace in the vet hospital waiting room today. Lets his anxiety morph into wanting to murder every other dog. Embarrassing, shameful. Would still die for him though

Say an American guy got a speeding ticket outside London, Ontario, in 2009 and never paid it. Would that guy face trouble entering Canada nowadays? Asking for myself

I miss my large son Erling

I know it’s not the point but why are we capitalizing “federal”

Update: Spurs 👍

Every four years I get really into the World Cup and flirt with picking a club team to support but never follow through. I’m the closest I’ve ever been to choosing a Premier League team but doing this as an American adult feels like such stolen valor, like I shouldn’t be allowed to enter a fandom

“The choice before Yale is not simply whether to settle one investigation. It is whether to participate in a broader campaign to turn civil rights enforcement into a mechanism of political control over higher education.” Students, alumni, faculty urge Yale not to reach deal w/ Trump administration

Had World Cup withdrawal with no games on so had to go watch Hartford Athletic

Seelinger's debut did not go well. It's 16-9.

Unforced Slip-ups Mean No Trophy

Checking out the 3am soccer games would be such a fun story to report

Getting the dog to take his heart medication by telling him I bought him “very expensive treats”

The only just outcome is to sit Balogun and slot him in as tonight’s starting pitcher for the New York Mets in Atlanta

When all you have is a baseball bat, everything looks like a baseball

We’re deep into this tournament and I still never get over seeing bored New Jersey state troopers in the background of incredible international soccer highlights

The Coast Guard just removed the Clearwater from the tall ship parade in NYC for having "Save the Clean Water Act" and "Indigenous Rights, Racial Justice, Climate Solutions” banners. They were escorted out by the Coast Guard, US Navy, and NYPD. www.instagram.com/p/DaYOP8OlIq...

Inspired by Cape Verde, I too am going to stun the world, by finally cleaning the apartment after putting it off for weeks. They said it couldn't be done

Golazo from Sidny Lopes Cabral, level again

I don’t even know what to say about Vozinha anymore

This is truly unbelievable
