Who would have known Argentina would have so much trouble battling a remote Atlantic archipelago?

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

I would buy an album from this band.

Incredible moment where Fox News puts up a graphic with all the reasons it opposes the DSA and why people should be afraid of them

This sport is dumb and I hate it. I’ll be back in two hours for the Switzerland Algeria match.

An all-time great.

This is Harley. She's never rolled down a hill before, but she's super proud of her first attempt. 13/10 nailed it (TT: jesskoselke)

This map is why Seattle needs to build housing as fast as possible. Climate refugees are coming, folks. We better be ready for it, because they’re coming whether you like it or not.

Google’s page on mobile today in Spain

and fwiw, a pretty well-established standard for advantage in the penalty area is wait to see if they score *because you don't want to wave off a goal in order to award a penalty* -- but you award the PK if they don't score.

When we moved to Spain in 2016, electricity was roughly 40-50% more expensive than in Seattle. Now it’s about 10-20% less. (This is assuming you do a flat rate plan, vs the TOU plans that many people choose.) If you have a house, you can do solar for around half of the price you’d pay in the US.

Bummer

I can’t believe I stayed up to 1:15 am for it to wind up PKs Screw this I’m going to bed good luck Paraguay

*dusts off pro golden goal argument* 1/19

Julian Nagelsmann against Paraguay: I have many good footballers, watch them pass and move, then the space will open for our quality to really shine. Mauricio Pochettino against Paraguay: Bang it up there and hit em in the fucking face GOAAAAAAAAAL.

Super weak by the ref. He should have cleared both those benches away from the central VAR area and been dishing out yellows much sooner. Also I know Germany fans won’t like this but the German attacker clearly moved into the path of the keeper. That’s a foul.

"There's a reason why Trump fired the ethics watchdog who oversaw corruption and conflicts of interest in the executive branch," said one critic.

Havertz is like a 0.7 xG+xA striker who finishes in line with or above his numbers and does truly elite defensive work. Just play him there.

I was just about to post how boring and choppy this game is and then Germany whack one in… but it’s still kind of an ugly game

if I were Germany, I would simply score four goals against Paraguay, like the United States men's national team

I swear to god I am never ever using my phone number while donating to a political anything ever again

I haven’t seen anyone make this connection, but I think there’s a link between people looking to get off screens and the surge in live entertainment and travel demand: www.wsj.com/business/med...

I’m glad you were there. Wish Grant was as well, this would have been one hell of a World Cup for him to cover.

Iran were let down by FIFA, the US government, luck, and themselves. www.theguardian.com/football/202...

Social media and the internet has allowed the stupid to feel validated rather than laughed at in the pub.

Great stuff from Tim Ostlund-Foss here.

Ford has rehired hundreds of senior engineers after replacing them with AI backfired and has cost the company billions of dollars. AI adoption is blamed for Ford being the most recalled automaker in the U.S. with 51 recalls covering over 11 million vehicles in the first half of 2026 alone.

That’s a penalty for me. The VAR is a ref in Spain that I normally like but he blew that one, IMO.

Just sayin’

Excellent work. This is what the internet is for. www.reddit.com/r/footballcl...

There’s only one way to end it, and that’s a Constitutional amendment. Good luck with that, fascist.

Look, everyone was told to respect Qatars beliefs during the last World Cup, so please respect Seattles right to be gay as fuck.

It’s amazing that he’s essentially saying “man, things now are WAY worse than Watergate!”

You’ve just heard your last news, Huey.

Vacation status: beer (Turia Märzen), sun, breeze, pool. Life is good

This has been a very real concern in air traffic control. I had two years off the scope in the middle of my career, height of my skills; it legit took me at least 10-12 months before I was back to full ability. You need to be challenged and using your brain.

The stretcher! He’s dying! (He’s fine)

what's crazy is that I like Barton's personality and stuff but man, he's just not a FIFA-list-level ref. He's perfect for the insanity that is CONCACAF and that's about it

do not like that QF matchup

On Juneteenth, a black man scores for the U.S. in the World Cup. Oh, and his name is Freeman. Happy Juneteenth! www.nfl.com/news/alex-fr...

Not really a cross-post for clout type of guy but this deserves to be seen

L to R: Chris Richards: biracial kid from Alabama who speaks about black history and has tattoos of MLK, Ali, and Obama Sergiño Dest: Dutch-Surinamese, emigrated to Brooklyn as a kid, naturalized Fola Balogun: born in Brooklyn to vacationing parents, raised in UK but CHOOSES to play for USA

pausa de hidratación

the World Cup is so good. they should invent a fifa that isn’t evil

Either call your opponent a bitch with your whole chest or just don’t do it at all

Just a reminder that the US Woman’s team has won the World Cup four times already.
