It’s incredible what the big teams get away with. The corner shouldn’t have happened and Mbappe intentionally handled that. Should be a yellow card and instead Paraguay’s keeper got laid out.

This rendition of the Star Spangled Banner is not good.

How could it not be with this tracklist?

I was kind of bummed the US didn’t offer him the job, but the longer it goes on, I’m glad they didn’t.

Thank goodness we have Google AI to tell us soccer is the most popular sport in the world.

People crap on the FIFA rankings, but 7 of their top 7 and 12 of their top 16 made the Round of 16. #WorldCup

Morocco with the execution when it matters. #CANMAR

I feel like Canada are going to wear themselves out at this pace and Morocco just has to weather it a bit longer. Also a couple of Canadians are lucky to have evaded cards so far. #CANMAR

Pretty incredible stat.

Vozinha, Cape Verde’s 40-year-old goalkeeping hero, now has more Instagram followers than all active NFL, MLB and NHL athletes, and all but three NBA players 🤯 The power of the World Cup is unmatched 🇨🇻

“Fell in Love With a Girl” and “Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground” were instant classics.

Capo Verde has nothing to feel bad about after that, holy shit

Lawd, the replays of the Lopes Cabral goal 🤌🏼

ABSOLUTE SCENES

I think Cabo Verde is pretty good you guys. #ARGCVD #WorldCup

This game might end 5-0, but you’ve got to give Cabo Verde all the credit in the world for keeping this game this tight through 50 mins. #ARGCPV

🎯 “The larger issue is that Claus never had control of this game. When refs lose control of games it's dangerous.”

"I thought VAR was supposed to help the game of soccer... I think it's hurting it a little bit now." @marcelobalboa17 isn't sure whether VAR is helping or hindering football after Croatia's late equalizer was disallowed 📺

Had a friend in another city text me that they went and saw a show I recommended earlier this week and that they loved it. Makes a music nerd feel good.

We’re watching 3 team futbol, Portugal, Croatia, & VAR-enhanced-refs. Bring back good ol 2 team futbol.

I hope Spain beats Portugal like they owe them money. #PORCRO

So the chip can tell at that speed in that congestion that it was the Croatian player and not the Portuguese player touching it? I didn’t see anything in that replay showing a Croatian touch

I didn’t see a touch from Croatia on that 🤷🏻‍♂️

102nd minute goal. Just like they drew it up. LFG. #PORCRO

5+ minutes. Still time for some Modric magic. #PORCRO

Penaldo remains one of the funniest nicknames to me.

If I could change one rule in soccer, it’d be that the fouled player has to take the penalty. #PORCRO

HRVATSKA!

That's incredible. Add in Telemundo and the number is going to be MASSIVE.

Had the rare need to go into the bank this afternoon and there was a sign I'd never seen before asking you to remove your hat, remove your sunglasses, and not use your cellphone. I proceeded to spot seven signs with QR codes to scan for more information on banking services. 🤔

Austria strung together a little bit of possession and a few half chances, but Spain is just relentless and Austria just don't have the same quality of personnel Spain does. This one is surely over. #ESPAUT

And he'd probably lecture someone on not using a paper straw.

This is the man with a lyric that goes, "Into my big mouth, you could fly a plane" and that checks out here. I mean, England are favorites and all, but 5-0 (which he eventually downgraded to 3-0 is wildly optimistic.) #WorldCup #MEXENG

This bro went so viral in 2014 that he even has a wiki page: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cl%C3%B...

We out here talking about schism? #anthrax

Best angle I've seen yet.

Glad to hear there's a new Dinosaur Jr. album on the way. They've maintained their standard of excellence even after reuniting, which is difficult to attain.

Saw someone complaining about the USA’s easy World Cup path vs Canada’s. (1) Winning your group matters (2) Canada still drew South Africa in R32 which was very fortunate (3) USA beat a team Canada didn’t (and were a man down) 🤷🏻‍♂️

dva prema nula, dragi moji

I'll worry about playing Belgium without Flo later. I'll worry about shitty refereeing later. USMNT just closed out a knockout game with 10 players with minimal fuss. It's good vibes and we should soak in it.

These refs hate America so much they must be on Bluesky
