Gutted for Croatia

You have got to be kidding

Competitive high school sports are not about gladiatorial domination; they exist to teach kids teamwork, comradery, promote exercise, and give them a sense of accomplishment. I can think of no better way to accomplish those goals than to compete alongside our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings.

look- you don't need laws, or professional ethicists, or philosophy, or the bible or any religion to know that if you are removing public access to water because it might accidentally benefit the poors, you are an absolute garbage human and on the wrong side of history and just everything

If Trump isn’t on the phone tomorrow to get Balogun un-suspended what even was the point of all that corruption

I am so fucking proud of this US team better squads than this have folded after a bullshit red and they kept their shit together and even extended the damn lead best USMNT of my life and it isn’t close, I believe they can do this against Belgium even if Balogun’s card stands

ok... let's do this USMNT!

Senegal got totally screwed today. No VAR on the obvious push on the 2nd Bel goal, and a VAR intervention that is much softer than any so far including this game. Bluntly, Senegal does not get that call if the positions are reversed, VAR never glances at it, but we can't have UEFA embarrassed again

i kinda love this answer, it’s very illuminating. it’s not about female athletes at all, it’s about the fragile egos of delusional psychopathic parents who want returns on their perceived investments

Heartbreak for DR Congo, but they sacrificed for a higher purpose: England meltdown at the Azteca

GO CANADA!

Picard morality tip: If one side of a conflict preaches purity of bloodline above communal benefit for all, join the other side.

CABO VERDE!!!!

and it costs nothing and takes 5 minutes to register Democratic to vote in the primary

Well, there's a reason these guys don't start #USMNT

FIFA has made it official: USA v Bosnia & Herzegovina World Cup round of 32 July 1, Santa Clara, CA, 5 pm PT

This shit is like antichristmas. There are packages under the tree. Is it only white people get to vote? Is it the president can shoot people for fun? Is it that freedom of religion only exists for people who are members of right-wing megachurches? Unwrap it to see!

It’s illegal under U.S. and international law to kill civilians who pose no imminent threat of violence, even if they are smuggling drugs or otherwise breaking the law. This is called “murder” most of the time, and a “war crime” if it occurs during armed conflict.

Goddamn Ghana getting fucked here at the World CUp

you hired a bunch of people who like to kill people, sent them to an academy and trained them to shoot first and the only important thing was ending your shift alive, gave them an all powerful union, armed them to the teeth, and then never prosecute them. At this point, cop killings are intentional

Unsurprising when almost none of them are held accountable for them, even in the most obvious cases of misconduct.

Yeah, thankfully Seattle and FIFA have both been pretty consistent on not meeting Iran and Egypt's bullshit on this.

The moderate position is that no one involved with ICE should be allowed near any government position, especially law enforcement. Sadly, this will not happen.

It continues to amaze me that the NYT is totally cool with their reporters withholding printable, newsworthy stuff for years so that they can have some neat stuff for their books.

Is this a thing you can do? It doesn't sound very Catholic

This is not "reformable". Barring anyone from ICE from ever serving in any law enforcement capacity is the moderate position. Sadly, there will never be any accountability (and in fact we will never know who this was, because ICE won't say so)

This is incredible. So satisfying. I was going to say it’s “cutting” but it’s more a knifing to the gut or maybe a beheading. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Spain is going take out all their Cape Verde anger on KSA

lol

"The Americans can't get the slime out of their capital's monument pool and will arrest you for touching it," sounds like the sort of lie they'd tell us in the Soviet Union so we'd stop bitching about bread lines.

Curacao!!!!!!!

POINTS AT CHEST - “And that’s my Meritorious Service Medal from Operation Green Bloom. Saw a lot of good polyurethane strips die that day. Wasn’t sure we were gonna make it, but we kept our water filters locked and loaded. I can still hear the paramecium screaming in my sleep.”

More NG assholes being assholes. Fuck all of them.

What's neat about this is that they think they're doing Galt's Gulch from Atlas Shrugged but what they're really doing is inventing the colony of hair stylists and telephone sanitizers from Hitchhiker's Guide from first principles

Balogun and Robinson grew up in England Dest grew up in the Netherlands Tillman and McKennie learned to play in Germany Pepi grew up between El Paso and Juarez Weah's dad was the fucking president of Liberia I don't think one nation means what they think it does

HYDRATE!!

Aren’t they arresting and deporting students who say this exact thing

Ooof. Really unaware or stuck eating a shit sandwich? Hard to tell

"So ... so I said ... why not sign your treaty here, at Versailles?"

Panama :-(

Hope these guys have a good night

Portugal is soooooo slow.

This shit right here really pisses me off, these World Cup players from Uruguay are being treated like hardened criminals rather than that the premier athletes that they are. Trumps America is racist AF! I said what I said!! ⚽️⚽️

This is why America should not have been allowed to host this. Curious how the IOC is going to deal with this in two years.

Cape Verde

Total respect for Cabo Verde. Players are playing like demons, and no diving, lying around to slow the game down. Just playing hard as hell.
