Egypt wearing Falcons colors in Atlanta and holding a big lead in the fourth quarter makes me a bit nervous.

How do you chalk that off, these are calvinball rules.

Hard to believe that Spain/Portugal could be a snooze fest but Ian Darke is out here telling stories about Chorley in FA Cup like he’s Vin Scully filling air during an August afternoon getaway day game.

Any minute now Marc Cucurella and Christiano Ronaldo could run headlong into one another while running at top speed.

One thought I’m left with from that thrilling England/Mexico game last night is that Raul Jimenez is going to be an absolute menace in the Championship this year. He would have had two or three last night if not for Pickford, and the keepers in this league are most certainly not Pickford.

The current humidity level in ALX is “stop and dry heave mid run” in case anyone was thinking about going outside.

This game is incredible

If you're not outraged, you should be

You simply can’t be seen attempting to talk shit to a guy who is winning, laughing at you, and, crucially, taller than you

Landon Donovan using a missed goal by Brazil to lecture his own kids about needing to work on their weak foot was pretty funny.

fireworks outside the visiting team hotel all night.... unprecedented, suspicious administrative ruling undoing a suspension ... sorry world you're on CONCACAF turf now, these concacolors don't run baby

I’ve never said a bad word about FIFA, the most morally correct organization

let’s fucking go

Currently pitching a friend on Widow’s Bay by describing it as “Parks and Rec but the babadook is there”

Current update is the plan is to be open at both locations. The specifics of the delay I’m still working on. Please keep an eye on city socials and such for updates. Apologies this issue has arisen on a hot holiday.

Families showing up at Warwick Pool are being told it’s closed for air quality, but all city comms say it’s open 10am-4:45pm. Any chance @alexandriavagov.bsky.social could clarify or clear this up? If there really was a decision to close you should push that out ASAP before more people get confused.

nothing says Freedom 250 like “welcome to the capital city, enjoy our many state booths which highlight thDO NOT TOUCH THE PRESIDENT’S PERFECT POOL. ANYONE CAUGHT DISRESPECTING OUR LEADER’S PERFECT POOL WILL BE IMMEDIATELY ARRESTED FOR STREET CRIME”

So I said “Bobby Lee, it sounds like you’re just feeding brigades to emplaced artillery” and then Longstreet started crying.

What an incredible goal by Rodman to snatch back all three points. Goddamn that was slick!

What an incredible game. So grateful to have watched that.

My non soccer watching wife just screamed "you divey little cunt!"

Lot of dick blocks in this game. This means something.

At this point it’s pretty obvious there’s a crossroads somewhere in Cape Verde where Vozinha buried a #10 Inter Miami shirt.

Cape Verde:

VERDEEEEEEEEEEEEED

Spain and Uruguay right now:

What if all it ever took to stop Messi was a fellow geezer.

RIP to all the catholics excommunicated by the pope for their heresy but im different. and better. maybe even better than the pope

As an ASA family, every time I see these Cape Verde kits from Capelli I can’t help but laugh. Their team manager must have ordered them back in January to have them in time for the start of the World Cup.

average rugby player after receiving literally bone-crunching tackle: bit of a hard one there average football player after being lightly brushed: alack! alack sir, I die! I perish! foully slain! cut down in my youth by the cruel scythes of evil men!

“Vance admits that, about ‘half the time these days, we attend Mass at home.’ (Your book is called “Communion,” my brother!)”

Australia let a *second* center back take a PK and he *also* missed high, what the FUCK mates.

Australia letting a center back kick first is wild

Australia vs. Egypt, basically.

Don't want to speak ill of the dead, so getting this Mitch McConnell take out now. He saw Trump with complete clarity, as a danger to America, but protected him anyway. Perhaps more than anyone, he had the power to end Trumpism, but chose party over country. donmoynihan.substack.com/p/jan-6-and-...

It’s hilarious to watch attempted dives in slow motion. This game has had some of the worst of the whole tournament so far.

Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it. - Mark Twain.

Per one of the details shared in this story, here’s a copy of the Wood, Harmon & Co ad in the Alexandria Gazette for St. Elmo, from March 1894 (I downloaded the digital image from the Library of Congress and had a print made).

It is seriously alarming how many of the world’s wealthiest and most powerful people are just screamingly mentally unwell in deeply toxic, dangerous ways.

wtf is going on with his hands

*sigh*

This is what VAR takes from us

Incredible. Incredible!!

Nutmeg goal? NUTMEG GOAL??

One of the best parts of this is that at Appomattox, Henry Hunt (US artillery commander at Gettysburg) rides up to Porter Alexander (CS artillery Cdr) and berates him for his artillery bombardment on July 3 - Hunt had taught Porter artillery at West Point and was all “clearly you learned nothing”

gumby was always saying this

still the definitive statement on "can you cheer for team usa if the usa does bad things" discourse:

a fussy fey insufferable dildo who cannot stop letting you know how everything he is doing is an expression of the will of god before getting kicked in the face so hard he shit teeth all over central pa., the correct interpretation
