1 have to take my Scout to the airport to meet her troop to travel to Jamboree at 2:30 am ( I did not make the plane reservations). Do I try to go to sleep now or stay up?

Still waiting for One Shining Moment.

Damn Ferran Torres is an attractive Spaniard."

That happened to me once in a coed indoor soccer rec league game.

Could have just started with Shakira.

See what happens when you actually try to score goals, England?

I was driving all day, got home and thought I would just forward to goals. I had to stop a lot and finally just caught up to live tv. What the heck is going on in this game?

Road to Wellsville.

Alas, he can't get no satisfaction.

It's only a flesh wound?

Good god. He is flipping magic.

Argentina with another late escape. Incredible. England was under siege for a bit and finally broke with a great goal.

Amarillo! Jaune! Yellow in any language.

Uh France. Time to wake up sleepyhead.

It's very funny to me that the city in Texas with the least Cowboy western populace and culture is where all these foreign players are buying cowboy hats, boots, and bolo ties. Good luck convincing future exchange students that we don't wear hats & boots or ride horses to work every day here.

Spain looks dangerous, and France's defense looks like the US against Belgium.

I'm rooting for Switzerland, and have been messaging our former exchange student throughout the match (yes, of course they're up). But unfortunately that was deserved, and enforcing the diving rule might make players think twice.

It was a dive. Don't dive. Especially if you're on yellow.

"I'm with the band"

Thomas Tuchel is kind of a dick isn't he?

I don't know all the words to this song and I refuse to learn them. Same with Mr. Brightside. I don't like these songs and I don't like I have to hear them at sporting events.

Little up close and personal there camera guy

I don't dislike England, I just want Norway to win more. But boy England has been diving and whining today.

Not a penalty.

Agh! But did they score too early? Come on Viking warriors!

And that is why kicking it back to the goalie makes me nervous. Just get it out, don't kick it to the goal mouth.

Flippy floppy.

The cable of god?

Goddamn I hate these AI commercials. Ya know, you could look up "soccer" without it.

The answer to all those questions is no. AI cannot make to a better mom or teacher.

Wtf is this commercial

Whew. That was close.

I would really like live cam on Rebecca Lowe watching this game.

Beautiful!

I love fondue! I love raclette! Congrats to our former Swiss exchange student.

Why can't professional footballers kick the ball between the posts on pks?

Increible

Oh Egypt. That is a gut punch.

I guess soccer gods are just. What a way to respond to that BS VAR decision.

I think a guest on @sarahspain.com's podcast said that instead of having women compete in nordic combined, the fear was that IOC would just eliminate it & that's exactly what they did. Justification is no doubt # of int'l competitors in this niche sport, but same could be said of many winter sports.

At least now they don't have to go meet with TFG at the White House. So that's a silver lining.

Now I can pay attention to Wimbledon and Tour de France.

Feels a little like SMU in the CFP in 2024. Unexpectedly great performances getting us there. Got my hopes up leading up to the game, then it went to absolute shit almost immediately. Worst part was giving pundits ability to say we didn't belong in the first place. But still happy and proud anyway.

I spent a summer studying in Brussels in 1996. Had a delightful time eating chocolate and drinking wonderful Belgian beer. That said Go Go USA!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I feel bad for Chicharito.

That's ridiculous. That shouldn't be a penalty. He's trying to kick the ball and the other guy sticks his foot in.

This is nuts.

Was feeling kinda of bored. Not anymore.

England just needed that hydration break.
