It’s Koreaover

Make or break day today, 🇰🇷gang Need Spain to beat Uruguay Need Egypt to beat Iran Need Senegal and Iraq to tie ideally (if Senegal wins, win by only one goal)

oh look at me I'm Japan I play aesthetically pleasing, positive football thanks to 30 years of thoughtful development we also will tie Sweden instead of thumping them thereby giving our regional rivals South Korea a big middle finger in their odds in advancing to the next round

it wasn't. it was worse.

SoCal Korean Americans must be PISSED

hermanos also mean sharing gastrointestinal disorders ❤️

Have decided I am going ask this question anytime I am disappointed in someone’s performance.

I broke down on a whim what it will take for third place South Korea to advance to the Round of 32 (now that it's out of their control) and what games and outcomes are important for them

oh no

to add to Korea's humiliation tonight: they have to root for Japan to thump Sweden tomorrow (ideally by 2+ goals) to give them a fighting chance to advance to next round

welcome to Korean soccer. exceptions may apply every few years

I want this South Korea team eliminated already so they can swim back home

Bloch has a good claim to being the greatest and most influential historian of all time in addition to being a person of real principle and personal bravery. There are heroes out there, and Bloch was one of them.

French Resistance fighter and historian Marc Bloch, murdered by the Gestapo in 1944, is inducted into Panthéon in Paris.

ain't no way. is Son on the bench or am I tripping? is Hong out of his damn mind?

ok... so the interviewer softballs the professor "do you think we can air con our way out of this heatwave" and the professor answered "no we cannot air con our way out of this heatwave" and that is the headline that everyone is dunking on youtu.be/HGj95gzCXlU?...

I’d like to add that there is a certain aesthetic narrative to Ronaldo that appeals to right-leaning young men in how he totally transformed his entire game from a twinkle-toed, lithe pure winger into the most ruthlessly efficient striker/winger in football history

deafening silence from Mayor Mamdani on how he is going to lower the cost of living in San Francisco

there should be one primary day and one general election day a year for the entire world it's too much

it is April 1775. the English fail to win in the suburbs of Boston it is June 2026. the English fail to win in the suburbs of Boston

Want to recommend some books on the London Underground by James Fowler a business historian at Essex. Focused on fiscal/business side but really good, no nostalgia with more than a few digs at Christian Wolmar.

"noting slippages within the field of urban planning that crack open dominant narratives and produce space for alternative fantasies of what the good urban life could be" got me feeling hot and heavy, I must admit

my AP US Gov class teacher had behind his desk large photo printouts of three of the most important Americans in his opinion: Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Alan Greenspan

perfect book

as Korea bounces from one football association crisis to another, Japan is reaping early yields on their 100-year plan to win the World Cup by 2092. only a generation ago, Koreans were cocky Japan would never ever catch up to them in soccer prowess. we've been passed www.espn.com/soccer/story...

eh this two goats-one donkey panel does work, i.e. Kenny Smith at Inside the NBA or Micah Richards at CBS Champions League, but it requires the least decorated panelist to serve as a humble, funny clown figure to tickle the other two into banter, which Lalas does and can not do

when your eternal rival plays superior, beautiful football <<<<

Hang the sign up on the door. It’s time for Tunisia 🇹🇳 🆚 Japan 🇯🇵

do us Koreans proud, stupid sexy Hervé

if I had a nickel for every small Atlantic archipelago nation with a stalwart defense, I'd have two nickels

i can see the merit of filing this news story but cmon www.ktvu.com/news/auto-gl...

tbh the @seung.bsky.social piece about the problems associated with Seoul's Line 9 is kinda funny because I think the problems are very real but "We underbuilt a line that has ridiculous amounts of usage" is like, least problem a new transit line can have www.substack-bahn.net/p/hell-line-...

A lot to like in this Transit Abundance Playbook. ifp.org/transit-abun...

it's extra nice that both countries won their first match so the pressure is slightly relieved and we all can have more fun

traveling thousands of miles to find community and celebration in a South Bay parking lot is beautiful, to me
