Late last night Algeria picked up its first win of the World Cup and set up one of the funniest possibilities of the 2026 World Cup: The Disgrace of Kansas City Let me explain 🧵

This World Cup so far has been like if in the NCAA Tournament we had - a 15 seed make the Sweet 16 - Peterson, Dybantsa, Boozer all put up 40 point games - Duke, UNC, Kansas, UCLA, Kentucky all playing well - (your school) looks like they can make a historic run

Reds fans go crazy when ABS confirms the 11th Brewers strikeout of the night winning the fans a free, one-topping small pizza

Ned! Ryerson! Needle Nose Ned! Ned the Head!

"they were peppering them (Iraq) with attempts." I sometimes wonder if anyone at FOX is actually watching these matches.

Just another in a long line of utter broadcasting failures by FOX acting like Messi missing a PK is the most shocking thing that's ever happened in soccer. You should know better! You have a research department!

Messi has now converted 77.9 percent of all the penalty attempts in his career which is actually around average/slightly below average. It's always been the one thing he's not immaculate at.

We've finally found it: The link on the internet I am most likely to never, ever in a million years click.

BBC News went live to Cabo Verde and then Cabo Verde scored a goal. Absolute scenes.

Caught literally 30 seconds of FOX while filling my water bottle in the office and they were talking about how Spain could finish 3rd if they lose to Uruguay and Cabo Verde beats Saudi Arabia. Have they watched Uruguay play?

Meant to bring this up, but the World Cup just saw the Falcons get the shit kicked out of them by a superior opponent on Sunday in Atlanta which is a thing I've been watching my whole life.

OH MY GOD CABO VERDE

Does Iran call this set piece "Opening the Strait"?

Have you ever seen or experienced something incredibly benign but it stuck with you for the rest of the day? Friends...let me tell you about getting lunch at Whole Foods today...

Spain's coach: It would be a mistake to compare Lamine Yamal to Messi or Maradona. Also Spain's coach: he's actually like Salvador Dali or Michelangelo.

Eloy Room just threatened Tim Howard' World Cup single-game save record and did it without extra time in a wildly entertaining game after Howard said Curacao was going to get smoked in all three games. It really is a beautiful game. www.deporteawe.com/2026/02/22/f...

Curacao goalkeeper Eloy Room has 10 saves so far against Ecuador He plays for Miami FC. Not Inter Miami with Messi. Miami FC in the USL Championship in the second tier of American soccer.

Two Schwar-bombs, one inning. Nearly identical distance, very similar landing spot.

Kyle Schwarber has hit 913 feet of home runs this inning

OZZIEEEEEE!!!!

It is deeply funny that Italy won 6 games in World Cup qualifying and didn't make the World Cup and Sweden won 0 games in World Cup qualifying and made the World Cup.

my dog is so goddamn majestic

TOP OF THE GROUP MOTHERFUCKERS

This would be SO rad lol (and there's no chance it actually happens)

Things are getting worse for Scotland

With Pulisic hobbled, Tim Ream old and Adams, Balogun, Jedi and Richards on yellow cards, Paraguay getting a result tonight so the #USMNT can rest guys against Turkiye would be much appreciated.

THAT IS ONSIDE

Outsourcing our work to another country is the most American thing possible.

Australia's strategy appears to be just literally kicking the shit out of any American that gets near them.

LETS GOOOOOOO

come on boys, play like the girls

Taking "Coreano, hermano, ya eres mexicano!" a little too seriously, South Korea.

the funniest thing is that dressing like pickles is OK for these losers, but not wearing rainbow colors.

Of all the halves of World Cup soccer that have ever been played Mexico and South Korea just played one of them

Jonathan David has as many goals today against Qatar (3) as Canada had in its entire World Cup history entering today.

Angel Reese singing along with "Lift Every Voice and Sing" in INDIANA is going to make racists feel all kinds of ways 😀

The South Africa-Czechia draw means if there's a winner tonight between Mexico and South Korea that team wins Group A.

This is the #USMNT's path to the semifinals after match day 1

This is either going to be the best or worst season of True Detective yet

Man, shiiiiit. England players might die in the heat, elevation and air quality of Mexico City in July

Sending the show overseas, which is wildly expensive and way more expensive than the normal cost of the show, is a great use of resources the week of the Ole Miss-LSU game.

DR Congo's last appearance at the World Cup was such a disaster, through no or at least minimal fault of the players, that it led to the Rumble in the Jungle. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DR_Cong...

DOCTOR CONGO IS ON THE BOARD

Telemundo just said Trevor Noah was an Englishman and that's still more accurate than anything Alexi Lalas has said during the World Cup.

The only good thing about watching Cristiano Ronaldo play soccer is watching him try to suppress his rage when anyone else on his team scores a goal.

The Widows Bay finale was a good exercise in having a twist that's utterly predictable, but it still working because the episode was so good.

When you get food poisoning from the fish and chips you ate it must be because of

If Kansas State's social team doesn't photoshop Messi in KState colors with the caption "EMAW: Even Messi's a Wildcat" what are we even doing anymore?

Messi was cool and all but soon it'll be time for GEGENPRESS AFTER DARK
