Seriously?? He still has blood on his hair! But sure, put him back in, no issues there. 🙄

Oof heads bleed profusely but also that was a bad knock and Van Hecke should probably- hopefully- be subbed off.

Anticipating lots of cards in this match already.

Sport used to be the thing we shared with everyone. These sociopaths are celebrating fucking with sports for not reason other than they can. What do they do that is positive? What do they add to the world?

Oranje the hell out of this match, Nederlands. www.sportingnews.com/us/soccer/ne...

The GOOLLLLLLLL while he’s clearly fighting back tears…..electric

Oh Paraguay! Felicitaciones, amigos- merecido.

Okay no seriously we don’t even what to write at this point?!?

STOP IT WHOEVER SCRIPTED THIS IT IS TOO MUCH DRAMA

Yo we’re stressed.

World Cup shootouts are emotional abuse.

my ninth-grade health teacher:

HOLY GIL 🇵🇾

Ice cold, basically no run up at all, we love.

gents you’re gonna wanna get fancy with it and do a stutter step but you gotta resist the urge

NEW: two USL W teams are showing that leading with inclusive and progressive values has the potential to bring fans in, rather than alienate them, disproving long-held ideas about what fans actually want from the teams they support.

Mauricio scored that and more importantly, is bringing the Bellerín stache and hair.

Waiting so long to take that pen only for it to be…that.

Brazil and Japan should each get to bring on 100 elementary school kids for the final 30 minutes of this

MORE. OF. THIS. #redcardFIFA

#WorldCup26 A HuffPost analysis has examined sportswashing at the World Cup, spotlighting Iran, Saudi Arabia, Qatar and Uzbekistan, regimes accused of repressing women, LGBTQ+ people, migrant workers and dissidents while using football to clean their image. buff.ly/Zg3EETN

rough day for those who don’t want to watch Men’s World Cup games that feature players accused of committing acts of sexual violence. Kaishu Sano (Japan)

Does Infantino's forehead grow with every Corrupt Thing he does?

Pick your ick is the unofficial slogan of this WC

Starting now, Japan v Brasil! We've got one team with a player accused of gang rape, and the other has a player with two sexual assault allegations. So...pick your ick, we guess.

The heat is rising to dangerous levels this week in large swaths of the country, folks. If you’re going to matches, please take your safety seriously. If you’re out and about, know where your local cooling centers are (and share that info with unhoused people if you can).

The U.S. is going to host the World Cup again in 2038, making it two in 12 years and three in 44 years. The rules FIFA rigged to allow Saudi Arabia to host unopposed in 2034 will also gift the U.S. another World Cup.

She'll save us.

We are brokenhearted for Venezuela. If you would like to donate, @wck.org @doctorswithoutborders.org and others are on the ground: www.billboard.com/lists/venezu...

HOLY MOOSE AND MAPLE SYRUP, Canada!! Eustaquio breaking South Africa hearts and sending Canadian blood pressure soaring!

Some absolutely wild and heroic defending from South Africa.

FIFA’s emissions targets are: 50% cuts by 2030, and net zero by 2040. This is the opposite of leadership.

The funny thing is that “a footballer who only contributes in flashes” is the same “moment of magic“ that these commentators so admire in other English playmakers. I wonder what the difference is.

unfortunately this is how our elections work too

the way these fucking football associations routinely mistreat national team players will be remembered when the revolution comes sports.yahoo.com/articles/uru...

Let’s. Fucking. Go. Dollar per goal? Quarter for every offside call? Euro for any offensive thing a commentator says? Pick your pledge.

Wait till you learn that FIFA has rented an entire floor of Trump Tower in NYC for the last couple years and late last year, Trump's DOJ dropped charges against a bunch of FIFA officials.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

“We came from far ... from nothing to be here. Now we write our story with a black pen.” There was massive celebration. There was bum shuffling across the pitch. There was a Congo party — 52 years in the making.

Mboladinga is being denied entry to the US. The US blames it on the Ebola outbreak that the US intensified by gutting our disease monitoring programs overseas. This is peak bleak. I hate it here.

Being a woman that loves this sport is like stepping on a rake every goddamn day. These teams and federations do not love us back.

Would be so nice to just enjoy some soccer without having to encounter people covering for rapists

This sport keeps breaking me in the same terrible ways. www.reddit.com/r/soccer/s/E...

Esther is ice cold at penalties. Gotham up at the Challenge Cup.

“How much is a magical world worth?” A beautiful thread about Cabo Verde, the Peace Corps, and the World Cup:

All keepers want to score bangers, this is true.

Effortista Derby Night!

Croix Bethune, goodness gracious!

Pretty foolish of Fifa to schedule World Cup games during the NWSL Challenge Cup.
