Meanwhile, heartbreak for Mexico 🇲🇽 and their exuberant fans

You have to give England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 credit…venturing into the madness of Azteca Stadium, before also those rabid fans, they emerged with a win, despite playing much of the match a man down…their hearts were strong, battling all the way Mexico 🇲🇽

I wrote it earlier in the tournament: the Olympics sells the human spirit, and the World Cup sells togetherness, and they’re probably the two best products in the world

Mexico losing some patience and poise, which is the trick

Magnificent, everyone, magnificent

OMG England hangs on!!! The crowd is stunned….you won’t see a better match….and Mexico 🇲🇽 is out…Drama drama drama

4 minutes

Nothing but drama

Imagine being English and Mexican right now ? England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Mexico 🇲🇽 How can they stand it??? What a match!!!

Absolutely insane! No way of telling who’s going to win this crazy game? Two penalties, one red card….5 goals. 20 minutes left England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Mexico 🇲🇽

And now Mexico 🇲🇽 scores on a penalty!!!! You can’t make this up…”A sensational night for football!” 3-2 England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 battling for their lives with 10 men ….

So of course Kane scores on a penalty!! What next in this crazy game?? England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 up 3-1, but far from over, with only 10 men. Mexico 🇲🇽

Devastating, and deserved, Red Card for England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Can they hold on?? 35 long minutes left Mexico 🇲🇽

Not only are groceries way more expensive, people are reporting food going bad almost immediately. Now on top of everything else there's a outbreak in 20 states making some people sick enough to be hospitalized? Who knew gutting the FDA would cause so many problems. 😒

Now France are protesting Michael Olise’s yellow card from the Paraguay game. I think FIFA might pretty quick regret this Balogun decision. Something about opening a can of worms.

I don't think Balogun deserved the red card, but I also don't like this decision by FIFA. Just as I didn't like the allowance of Ronaldo to skip his ban or the Iranian team having to go back to Mexico after every game. FIFA is corrupt, and the current American government is corrupt. Oh, go Mexico.

No, Laura. It’s not “Antifa.” It was Patriot Front, a white nationalist organization. They covered their faces because they’re cowards who don’t want to be identified. We’ve been saying for over a year that ICE officers shouldn’t be allowed to wear masks either. They are cowards also.

Air Force Major Jason Watson, 20-year active duty veteran, wore his uniform to the Capitol steps July 1 holding a sign reading "Impeach Convict Remove." He was arrested. His defense fund raised $139,000. Watson: "The greatest threat to our Democratic Republic is not a foreign one. It is domestic."

I asked a Norwegian fan at the World Cup match how so many of their fans can afford to spend the summer in America going to a bunch of expensive World Cup games, and I shit you not he just goes “Our healthcare and school are free and our work is encouraging us to do so.” Fuck man.

McDonald’s is planning to dump drive thru attendants, instead having an AI model named Archy handle orders. So, instead of annual revenue of $27B they’ll make $28B. All for laying off thousands of people and likely destroying customer relations, service and satisfaction. Talk about corporate greed.

Pickford saving England’s bacon, as England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 barely survives Mexico 🇲🇽 onslaught …still 2-1 but for how much longer? What a half !!

The Azteca is rocking and England is sweating and this should obviously have been the venue for the final if anyone involved cared about the sport being cool

Boycott!!

England looking rattled after Mexico 🇲🇽 scores….!! Game on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Wow

“Haaland has blown away Brazil!!!” 🇧🇷 “Brazil’s canary yellow fades away.” Norway 🇳🇴 Amazing win for the Vikings, who saw through the reality of Brazil’s weakness

A great doctor…he did so much for women and demedicalizing childbirth…Well documented by @picardonhealth.bsky.social

Felix Auger-Aliassime very funny when asked if he knows whom he plays next. “Serbian player not so bad. I’ll try and watch some videos and get ready.” It’s Djokovic #Wimbledon

Whew…Felix Auger-Aliassme overcomes a 4th set collapse and some shaky moments to prevail in the 5th set against the mercurial Davidovich Fokina, and is into the quarters at #Wimbledon for the 1st time in 5 years! Now Djokovic ! Wow

Incredible match by flaky Naomi Osaka, who takes down perennial No. 1 seed Sabalenka in 2 sets! Amazing. Sabalenka doesn’t make the quarterfinals of a Grand Slam for the 1st time in forever! #Wimbledon

Canada lost to Morocco 3-0 after a great first half, and their World Cup is over. And as far as Canada came in a run to the round of 16, what you saw was a young football country, with so many deficiencies compared to elite nations, and so much room to grow. www.thestar.com/sports/socce...

The #BCLions manage to hang on for their first victory of the season….they finally unleashed James Butler, and it made a real difference…defence better tonight…

Concluding my #Vinyl Saturday recognizing #USA250 with this reflective album by Simon & Garfunkel…includes America and Mrs. Robison, both songs that suggest something is missing

Continuing my #Vinyl Saturday musical reflection on #USA250, it’s hard to top this incredible album by The Boss, surely his best….the right thought Born In The USA was blindly patriotic…it wasn’t….it reflected the real America….plus those incredible other songs…Glory Days so good

No one sang better about America than the legendary Woody Guthrie…my #Vinyl Saturday notes #USA250 with music that speaks truth about the country to the south of us….”Wherever people are fighting for their rights, that’s where I’m a-gonna be.” #TomJoad

Jesse Marsch, unbowed, said Canada 🇨🇦 was the better team today..but one set play killed them…

Sadly, it has to be said Jonathan David had another sub-par game. Canada 🇨🇦 needs a reliable striker so badly

I really cannot believe what Daniel Briere did. This might be the single stupidest move in the history of the NHL. Not only did he wreck his own salary structure, he wrecked the structure of the entire league. The jury was out on Briere as a GM but it's in now. He's a damned fool.

A telling statistic. Canada 🇨🇦 had 11 corners. Morocco just one. Final score 3-0 Morocco. For all their heart, Canada just doesn’t have world-class ability around the net…

One could dream, after Canada’s strong first half, but Morocco’s superiority asserted itself in the 2nd half…a tough final score Canada 🇨🇦

Once again, Morocco 🇲🇦 shows how it’s done….you get a chance, you bury it! And that’s that…sigh…Canada 🇨🇦

And yes, let’s remember Canada 🇨🇦 is without two of its best players, Koné and Alphonso Davies

Wisconsin residents sue Microsoft over noise caused by new data center

Is it me or is the NP op ed section getting weirder and worse

Cyle Larin was going for it, despite the yellow card. Canada 🇨🇦 needs more of that !!

One chance and it’s in for Morocco 🇲🇦! Thats the kind of killer instinct around the goal that Canada 🇨🇦 has mostly lacked….alas
