good company!

it's the best post-match production in sports when they get it right

Now we appeal the Balogun suspension in the Northern District of Texas

time for gio to take a total of four steps and score the funniest goal

we will reach true enlightenment when someone other than pulisic takes one of these, and then scores

our beloved bosnian manager must, unfortunately, be sent off here

watching an uncomfortable and deeply frustrating US men's national team game. a refreshing bit of normalcy.

we're truly an elite footballing nation now

amazing

senegal should walk off the pitch again

calls on the field should only be overturned by a council of elders

i'm glad fox's refereeing analyst sounds like he used to work at a racetrack

lol

Harry Kane always looks a little bit like he just lost a toddler at the supermarket

learned today that Ivan Barton used to be an organic chemistry professor

every time i see javier aguirre i think "that's danny huston"

the timing for the final whistles on stoppage time have been brutal this tournament, but kind of funny

we want england

and mexico are in dreamland

not rooting against El Tri just because some fans used to throw bottles of piss at Alexi Lalas or whatever. if anything i think that's held up pretty well. as with so many things, Mexicans were ahead of their time.

here we go

it's time to ask if Europe is washed

might this match be calling out for a wout weghorst

Paraguay should've produced a few more guys like Chilavert. would've been a good bit to just convince people that sending the keeper up to take free kicks was "the country's unique style of play"

i'm tired of all the hypocrisy. well, more specifically, i'm tired of the word. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

it's like the old saying, 22 men chase a ball for 90 minutes and Canada wins

it's a trap

both teams got pretty clear instructions in the pausa de hidratración

lol

do not want austria to go through but this game definitely needed that

"Disgrace of Gijón" is a great term because if you weren't aware what it was you would assume it involved some kind of defenestration or something

Gonçalo Ramos is redefining this kind of inverted-Wally Pipp role

Gijón looks nice tho

it's done and dusted now

let's fucking go

i don't know that 7 in 61 for Roma could be fairly called "banging them in" but that Shomurodov chip is a good example of how even the worst teams here (mostly) still have at least one dude that can kill you if you fall asleep for a second

my heretical take is that state fairs are mostly just a place to get a sunburn

it's in conversation with the 1964 World's Fair in Queens and 1893 Columbian Exposition but the conversation is just both of them talking shit

denying a visa to the man who imitates a statue of a man we assassinated

had the fun experience of explaining "the AFCON final" to a complete novice

GUIDE: Welcome to the Great American State Fair! TOURIST: Incredible! And which state are we in right now? GUIDE: (violently shaking their head) Oh, no. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

happy 6 year anniversary of shredded cheese sad wife to all who celebrate
