UDDERLY WISCONSIN

And now 1-0 to Pittsburgh with Goldthorp claiming the assist. Direct and clinical as you like for the 'Hounds.

Just whirled the buttons around a bit and confirmed this is the fastest red card in #USL-1 history, officially 64 seconds per Opta. It breaks the record of 6:26 by Joel Serrano of FC Naples on May 17, 2025.

This a very "Paul Nicholson" situation. Goodness me.

And now, time for the second-biggest rivalry being played in international soccer today. It's #HennyDerby Night.

Ben Pirmann would have managed it better.

CHAMPA BAY™️

As it was written.

You can actually watch football die

They don't call him Piers Moron for nothing.

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

The fact it took this long to get Toney and Rashford in, not at the restart kickoff, is absolutely damning.

If this World Cup has one theme, it's been that you're playing with fire if you opt for cowardice while having a late lead. England did so... and are probably going home against a very beatable Argentina side

ANDRES CANTOR IS ON THE CEILING

Absolutely deserved that. Tuchel, you madman.

if this ends with Dan Burn taking a penalty

*taps the sign*

Well, one of them was going to be good eventually.

It’s Got A Shipping Label

deploy the dan burn

If this holds up, Big Dan should become a cigar size, a la Churchill.

If England concede here it’s 100000000000% Tuchel’s fault and no one else’s

We're welcoming fate into our living room.

gotta be getting “big” dan burn soon right

Pausa de poste

You already know what time it is

There was a foul awarded roughly every 2.5 minutes in this match until England scored. It then took 11 minutes for the next one once Argentina needed a game to break out.

He is good isn’t he

Djed Spence looking like the best defender in the world

Can't draw it up any better. Perfect run by Gordon, defender caught completely napping.

Would you like something fun to look at during halftime? OKC United - for that is its name - has unveiled its official colors and crest for the 2028 #USL-C season. (A Matt Wolff Joint) More details -> www.uslchampionship.com/news_article...

FORTY FIVE (FOULS) TO GO

30 - England v Argentina is the first FIFA World Cup match on record (since 1966) not to see a single shot in the first 30 minutes. Indeed, the previous record for longest wait for a shot was England's last game against Norway (29th min). Cagey.

Done an excellent job to not let this turn entirely into blood sport and still get through the first 15’ without giving a yellow

I’m rooting for Ismail Elfath and the 🇺🇸 primary crew. Already a hard start and he’s had a very good first 10. Yes, refs have let more go in this tournament but you call fouls when they’re fouls and there have been 6 in the first 10.

here for the real battle (english people vs. hope)

This is tremendous by @shelatneel.bsky.social and @kimischilling.bsky.social. Well worth your time before the second semifinal kicks off.

Congratulations to the @indyeleven.bsky.social Academy product. Ault made three appearances for the Boys in Blue in the #USL-C as a #USLAcademy signing before his college career at Butler University and Indiana University.
