I’m seeing more and more people call for Country Roads to be played at the end of USMNT games going forward. This feels like a Mountaineer Cultural Victory.

with USA already clinched the top spot in the group and their opponent, Turkey, already eliminated, the last game in the group is 100% meaningless they can get the 3rd-string keeper a World Cup appearance, rest Pulisic, bench the guys on yellow cards to keep them from getting suspended

🟥

DECISION IS RED CARD

This is gonna get ugly.

Watching the World Cup as God intended - Picture in Picture in my iPhone. @opg.bsky.social

You’re cheering for Paraguay tonight. A Paraguay win or draw wins US the group.

South American anthems slap.

Poch keeps getting us wins by 2+ goals every game, my favorite manager ever can show up wearing a Speedo with guayabera and a Carmen Miranda hat.

Hey, got a new horror mascot.

Fascists are not welcome at this party. Get lost

Seeing previews of the new Universal Kids Resort in Frisco, TX, and I feel like I’m seeing a Defunctland episode in real time.

Look who got a knockoff Messi jersey for $15 in Mexico.

The @pnsn1.bsky.social detected seismic activity on both of the USMNT's goals in Seattle 🫨

For the unaware, after what @soletssay.bsky.social asked on the pod last week regarding different buzzball types at different stores, I did go to the HEB, and they did have the chiller (wine based?) type, and I got two and my sister got two.

Today, and only today, Bluey is my enemy.

Well shit.

WHAT AN AMAZING END TO AN EMOTIONAL GAME *smash cut to studio*

How is the company that made these Mexico jerseys the same one that made Nebraska into The Noid and did basketball zubaz.

Mexico fans, pro tip: Save throwing shit on the field for when you need a penalty overturned It worked for Texas

We throwin shit on the field? SEC SEC SEC

I said some words here that my 7 year old chastised me for.

I’m sharing a cabin with my sister on this trip, who is very much a “what is sportsball” kind of person. Not an asshole about it, but just doesn’t care. I’m yelling at my phone, begging for South Korea to take a shot. She asks, “did they hear you? Did you affect the outcome?”

\o/ my favorite team vs the best mascot ever. the vibes are immaculate.

Someone’s discovered you can watch the World Cup from a hot tub.

0-0 draw, call it.

We would solve so many issues in this world if we’d just sit down and eat with each other.

Need help identifying a flag - at the Honduran island of Roatan. It’s a horizontal tricolor - yellow, white, black. Like the inverse of the Russian empire. They were waving it as we left the port along with the Honduran flag.

Trying to delicately explain to my kid they yes, we are in Honduras, but also, but like… Honduras.

Love getting job rejection letters while you’re on vacation. I should have turned those notifications off.

WHO’S READY FOR IT

Did you know - Uzbekistan is one of two double landlocked countries in the world? The other is Liechtenstein.

Kiddo fell asleep during dinner, so my plan of watching Colombia Uzbekistan by the pool deck along with the other sickos is not going to happen.

Billy, this is Andrew Fleer. He's a Bluesky poster. He's one of the most undervalued men on the app. He's a BBQ judge, he has great jokes, he's a looker, and he has a corgi named Peter Barker. His only flaw is that he has an obsession with making his "tummy hort."

Name the flag of convenience my ship is flying under.

Friend of mine is coming with me to Cabo Saudi Arabia. Our conversation.

WOOF

me at kickoff of every world cup game: oh this is nice to put on in the background, maybe the team with cool jerseys will win me 90 minutes later, literally every time:

Was at a bar at one of the ports, and there was a group of Congolese fans having the time of their fucking lives.

Hope these guys have a good night

Anyone know where the reset button is on a disregulated seven year old?

Ok, but it should be incredibly dark and gritty in the style of the Daniel Craig Bonds. Lean into it. Austin Powers is himself, but everyone else is grim dark. They have him hooked up with a car battery to torture him. He’s dying from poison and uses the paddles in his car. Then YEAH BABY

The only place showing the World Cup match on the passenger part of the ship is the sports bar, which is very much not a family place. It’s been overrun by the 10 and under crowd all wearing Messi jerseys.

Doing this is fun for the time being.
