I would not be surprised if Colombia made the Final.

The Estadio Azteca makes all the high tech US stadiums look like sterile boxes doesn’t it?

Anthony Gordon So much better today than the 4-5 times I saw him this year for Newcastle.Earning that penalty clinched the game, but he was perpetually dangerous AND dependable. Gordon work rate so radically superior to Brazil wingers.(Saka also good, but I buy the idea he is still only 90 percent)

Look... VAR is good. It could be better, but it's necessary.

Big moment for Keir Starmer.

Is Liga MX underrated?

Passing.

It’s going to be so so so funny if this of all things is what finally turns a critical mass against FIFA and Gianni instead of… all of the other corruption. Like don’t get me wrong this is nakedly corrupt and dumb as hell but like, also come on lol. www.politico.com/live-updates...

I have always hated Neymar. Like with Ronaldo, I judge people who like him.

Honest question, is there a definitive tracker of how many people have been killed in the US by Trump’s troop and Paramilitary domestic deployments?

While many of you are likely yelling "GO TEAM USA" or "GO BELGIUM!" I'm yelling "GO BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP and the rule of law!"

Few know this but almost all the economic news coming out of China for the past half decade -- Domestic Growth Slowdown! EVs! Solar! Exports! China Shock 2.0 etc etc -- is about this dramatic policy driven gear-shift of the domestic economy out of the property sector.

every touch by Vini on that counter was perfect, superstar play

What a pass by Vini!

Real blast from the past here bsky.app/profile/dana...

Trump celebrating Balogun’s eligibility to play for Team USA when his administration would strip Balogun’s citizenship tomorrow if he didn’t play world class soccer is really a chef’s kiss.

official confirmation of this story just dropped (gift link)

Again, I don't really understand why RBG's family needed to be so forthright about her death.

Dumb assholes.

In exactly two weeks time we will be marching out at #LeedsPride. 💛 Proudly leading at the front of the parade. 🤍 Together with Jermaine Beckford, Tony Dorigo, Noel Whelan, Bridie Hannon and #LUFC staff. 💙 Just 14 sleeps, can't wait! #LUFC 🏳️‍🌈⚽️🏳️‍⚧️ #ALAW

Amazing 👏🏻👏🏻

It's now quaint by Trump's second admin but Elaine Chao was at the time the most brazenly corrupt cabinet secretary of the past 100 years. It's an indictment of our media that it largely went unremarked upon for both her and her husband, Mitch McConnell

I can think of four Supreme Court Justices who should be rooting for Belgium.

wait until he finds out how Balogun plays for the US

let’s fucking go

Plaintiffs attorneys are good!!!!

Happy to bet your favorite beer, wine or cocktail if a forward from the Egyptian team (not named Mo Salah) had gotten a similar (undeserved) red card, that wouldn’t have been rescinded. It is what it is - I will take it.

Sometimes innocent people are freed from (red card) prison by criminal actions.

1. The original decision was INSANE--there have been so many wild swings of elbows into heads that went unsanctioned by either officials or VAR, this obviously accidental legitimate mistake was NEVER a red. 2. OMG there's no way that any other country gets this called overturned.

This article is terrific journalism... and TERRIFYING. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026...

USMNT captain Tim Ream: "We've said this as a group with all our different backgrounds, where we all have grown up, it's a true representation of what America is." www.espn.com/soccer/story...

😳This is a real report from NYT. Trump supporters are blaming evacuation of their pathetic party on liberal conspiracy. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/07...

It remains so weird to me that Mbappe is getting so much of the credit when he didn't earn the penalty. Football culture is super strange.

Me watching Bosnia try to muck up the USMNT and bring them to their level getting a cheap red card in their favor: this sucks! Such bs!!!! Me watching Paraguay muck up France and bring them to their level: ahh yes the beauty of soccer in the Americas, you’re in our hemisphere now Europeans

1. Belatedly read "Crack-Up Capitalism" by Quinn Slobodian. Recommend highly! 2. It underscores how the bulk of the "libertarian" movement has long opposed democracy and freedom for the 99%. 3. The complaints by the villains in the book are often echoed by Abundance.

Cabo Verde! This makes Villanova over Georgetown or Saint Peters run seem mundane.

That goal is NOT kosher

@futi.live make a 100 rating for Vozinha you cowards

It's crazy how many people are comparing draft compensation for players without discussing how, e.g., Jaylen Brown makes $25 million more than Walker Kessler. That difference is like more than 10 percent of all spending under the second apron!

Love a flyover. Love to be lightly menaced by my government. Love the feeling of like "hey we could be bombing you right now." Love to pay my taxes to cover the cost of this.

The flyovers are supposed to happen tomorrow, but I’ve already been buzzed a dozen times in the last hour. The cost must be obscene.

Impossible to exaggerate how horrible these are, and the expense is certainly a potential political issue.

Extreme heat conditions are most dangerous for workers who aren’t acclimated, whether that means they are new to the job or new to the weather conditions. Most people in the U.S. midwest are not acclimated to these conditions even if they're experienced in their job. 7/

Mamdani: "Those who led through exclusion & isolation have tried to win power & enrich themselves by turning us against one another ... today, too many of our leaders do not believe in a vision of this nation as an asylum for the persecuted, but rather as one that persecutes those seeking asylum"

As I told @notus.com, turning from a revolving door of interchangeably laughable acting officials to a professional partisan political operative at the Office of Government Ethics is taking a bad situation... and making it worse. www.notus.org/agencies/tru...

2/2 And while I'm at it: Reminder that DC has more residents than two entire states w total of 3 Reps and 4 US Senators (WY and VT, closing in on ND). We pay *more* federal tax per capita than any other jurisdiction—really, top even NY and CA. And have zero vote in Congress. Statehood for DC.

I don't think any American--regardless of party, despite fondness for aviation (which I share)--would enjoy being under the nonstop low-altitude, high-speed, incredible-volume of the Caligula overflights of our nation's capital right now. It feels and sounds like being under aerial attack.

This is an amazing open letter by Brad Lander. This puts him in the circle of my absolute favorite electeds. forward.com/opinion/8355...
