I'm brave enough to say it: the referee cam sucks every time, adds nothing at all

backup centerbacks ☹️

One guy talking to himself

cmon man where's that USMNT starting XI? I've been jonesing for this meaningless game for six days

will you do me a personal favor and watch 8 minutes of Yahoo Sports live NBA Draft coverage? (you can watch more if you want but 8 minutes would really help us out) www.youtube.com/watch?v=d1t_...

Portugal is giving extraordinary starting lineup access to a 41-year old striker. Who is it?

I did my best

hell yeah Cape Verde

Telemundo's announcers go temporarily speechless when a Côte d'Ivoire fan was shown on the feed (h/t @edsbs.bsky.social)

there is simply no other forum quite like r/malelivingspace. "Need ideas for my room."

goddam the Dutch are MEAN

give me Ulysses but set in Houston today

"for sale: baby shoes, never worn" is a singular and specific short story. "Netherlands versus Sweden in Houston" is a sprawling modern epic with more stories than pages that could tell them

Turkish players just aren't their best unless half the stadium is consumed by flares

Need only the most grandiose and ridiculous Brazilian player names. Vinicius Junior. Plutarcho. Steve. God the Second. Will Smith, The Soccer Player. Fred IV.

absolutely elite name for an old-timey reporter

Australia has entered the "falling down and hoping" stage of the game

Rebecca: "Chaps, Alexi left us" Zlatan: "Who? Rebecca: "Alexi will be back, Alexi will be back with us very soon" Thierry: "Your plan worked, Rebecca" Rebecca: "Don't you bring me into this, no chance" Zlatan: "America, you're welcome" lmaooooooooooooooooo

Australia's guys are too big and running too hard. settle down you jacked emus

Naturalizing Own Goal before the World Cup was a real stroke of genius by US Soccer.

it's my job to mark Harry Kane on corner kicks. oh, a balloon! do you guys see that? right above––aw DANG. sorry guys. sorry

me at kickoff of every world cup game: oh this is nice to put on in the background, maybe the team with cool jerseys will win me 90 minutes later, literally every time:

Late pass, obviously, but this to me is a fantastic blog in the classic sense. High-quality language and real insight directed at an otherwise shitty news story, by one of the all-time greats at doing all that. www.nytimes.com/athletic/735...

Interesting dichotomy forming amongst the team. Hand Rubbers vs Arm Folders. Most surprised by Matt Freese. He doesn’t strike me as a hand rubber

I haven't seen Cape Verde put a beating like that on Spain since the 1640 dissolution of the Iberian Union

For Vogue, I talked to Ramell-Correen Frederick, aka Cheeks, who embroidered Knicks gear in the streets of Brooklyn after Game 5. He uses a 104-year-old hand-crank, chainstitch embroidery machine that he named Jessica.
