Unfortunately, 40-plus million Americans watching a soccer match also means 40-plus million Americans have takes.

Football unites the world.

My mental picture whenever Polestar tried to describe to me who the hell the Polestar buyer was.

Flipping on Switzerland-Colombia at minute 117.

Argentina

2-0 EGYPT!!!

If you have to fast-forward the video, it shouldn't be reviewable by VAR.

Not sure you can tell Messi to not take penalties but it's the one thing he's decidedly mid at.

No, it's your media day. It's quite literally the time allotted for that.

US has made great strides. USMNT has become a consistently Top 15-20 team internationally. Trouble is, pushing beyond that at the World Cup requires a bunch of luck and having a truly transcendent player at the right time. And that's not a player engineering problem where the system can be refined.

Infantino sucks. But to be slightly fair to him, he didn't elect Trump. And the blatant, obsequious ass-kissing is probably the reason ICE goons in rental cars haven't been showing up to every match featuring a non-European or ANZAC team.

Respect sports.yahoo.com/articles/bel...

Broader narratives aside, I was worried about the spine of the USMNT defense from midfield backward not quite being up for it at a higher level, and that was, quite painfully, the case. Tim Ream had a solid career. But he was never a world-beater, and he's 38.

Are there problems with how the US develops soccer players writ large? Absolutely. Was the team composed of guys named Troy and Josh who got driven to their travel games in their dad's X5? Absolutely not.

May be forgetting something as we've seen so much soccer. But 3rd BEL goal has to be the worst goal a team has given up this tournament.

Yakety Sax worthy

That wasn't the US getting blown away on talent. Belgium has its golden generation fading into the dusk and was without some of its best players for most of that game. Just a truly terrible performance. Feel for those players. Result was not karmically undeserved given the Balogun/Trump fiasco.

We started a bunch of guys who were developed at Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Arsenal, AC Milan, Juventus etc, many of them foreign born.

Trump killed the vibe. Shit Midas.

The World Cup succeeds in spite of FIFA's involvement.

Saw first Blank Slate in Michigan over the weekend. Also a Cybercab with a steering wheel being driven.

Hey, Bloomfield Hills Police. Maybe take a break from poncing around with big guns and big SUVs and direct traffic where there are lights out on at least two of your three main roads going North-South?

Investment accounts owned by President Trump engaged in more than 300 previously undisclosed stock purchases on April 8, 2025, one day before his surprise announcement that he would pause a number of his “Liberation Day” tariffs, his financial disclosure report says.

There is precedent for FIFA making business decisions with red cards in this World Cup. But it's not a precedent that should ever have been set. www.bbc.com/sport/footba...

England embracing Oasis is only a further argument for the USMNT to stop playing around and go all-in with a full Southern marching band playing Neck.

Insane we're not even at the quarterfinals yet.

Harry Kane's voice...lol

This England team is, dare I say it, likable.

What a win for England. Wow.

Feel like Pickford may be the ideal goalkeeper for sheer chaos?

I love shithousery as much as next fan. But FIFA needs to get refs to start calling more things. Straight ass reds aren't even being called as fouls before review. Not calling something is also a decision that has consequences and effects the game. Someone is going to get hurt.

Great night to not be an England or Mexico fan. 🍿🍺🎆

Well, he did biff one against Croatia on a stutter that he got to retake. Live and learn.

People’s princess

Kane has gotten less Spursy. Though my wife asking whether he was the one who was losing his hair brought joy to my Arsenal heart.

TFW the right thing happens but for the completely wrong reasons. #USMNT

Got deliberately coal rolled by a charity truck at 4th of July parade. Merica.

As @rogbennett puts it, Cape Verde is one of the most valiant performances in the history of the World Cup. The world will forever remember this team, this performance. Nothing but love and respect 🇨🇻

As far as I've ascertained, the 4Runner equivalent of the Jeep Wave is very casually scoping out what generation and trim level the other person has going on without making eye contact.

Need an inquest into why there isn't a size large USMNT jersey for sale anywhere and why buying a pre-worn Clint Dempsey jersey somebody stood against a painted fence in costs $1 million on eBay.

Who needs humans when I have an AI to decide that because I listened to a Sabrina Carpenter song I must want to hear Taylor Swift's new song, and because I let that autoplay for a bit before realizing what happened, I now want to listen every got my pickup truck/beers/woman country pop song.

Or alternatively more dudes in the country jerseys that fit like Pepi's

The European Mind Can't Comprehend Neck

Yeah. Sorry. Holding the ball and stopping the game so you can yell and stomp your feet should be a red.

Use some damn subs.

Balogun recklessly tried to...plant his foot

I believe that...WTF

He’s not going to get that call because he didn’t make a play on the ball as he got rugby tackled

Wait, so the Celtics traded their healthy star player and former finals MVP...to a rival team...that just eliminated them from the playoffs...for the ghost of Paul George...and an unprotected first-rounder next decade?
