I had totally forgotten about it, but am REALLY feelin' Chicharrito's old quote, "¡Imaginémonos cosas chingonas, carajo!" It's quite beautiful & profound. For my English speaking siblings, it roughly (sentiment not literal) translates to: "Let's imagine fuckin' cool things, damnit!" ✊🏽

I'm all in on Morocco. ¡Vamos Marruecos!

This man should still be alive. This is the same BS they tried to claim with Good, Pretti, and the others. We cannot look away. We cannot let our government continue to kill us.

I look forward to watching clips from the Argentina v Egypt game (I'm at work and didn't get to see every minute of it). I'll be scrutinizing the comparison between that obvious foul on Mo Salah in the box (that preceded the final Argentinian goal) & the TWO fouls that led to the Messi penalties. 🤨

Both of my teams (USA, MEX) are out of the WC. So I'm rooting: Morocco, Yamal (not FOR Spain), Egypt, & Colombia. I would gleefully cheer for a Morocco, Egypt, or Colombia WC championship. I am resigned that France, Spain, Argentina or even Norway (the Telemundo announcers' wet dream 😜) will win.

Agree. I was all in on "Y si si?" My pochismo was awakened watching Brian Gutierrez out there showing his skills. Now, tonight, I'm treated to a pocho encore when I get to watch Pepi do HIS thing. It's a GREAT era to be xicano.

I’m happy Flo is eligible to play. The red card was a bad call. Am I pleased with DJT or Infantino for doing this “good old boy” style? HECK no! I hope, by the end of the match it will not be a factor in the outcome (a Red, White, & Blue victory). 🤞🏽🇺🇸 Here’s to no injuries & a fun game.

It’s a GREAT day to watch @kansascitycurrent.bsky.social get back into the season. Temwa Chawinga plays soccer today! #KCBaby 🩵❤️🩵

A must read. #YSiSí

🚨‼️⚠️☣️☢️

It’s a great day in the 414, @livingcolour.com rocks Summerfest today. @vurnt22.bsky.social Welcome back!

World Cup VAR review: Misapplied protocols leave Balogun wrongly red carded www.espn.com/soccer/story... #FreeBalogun

Just feed Flo, all night long. 🇺🇸

Yesterday’s World Cup matches all went chalk. Will today follow suit? For the sake of USMNT, I hope so. I’m very eager to see the Milwaukee Messi in action. Go USA! 🇺🇸

Senegal ... 👀

¡Bien hecho, Quiñones! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Nilson Angulo is a handful! Fun to watch. 👀

¡🇲🇽!

Birthright citizenship (since the 14th Amendment) has been a core US policy for a LONG time. It's as "American" as the stars & stripes (& _The Star Spangled Banner_), the colors red, white, and blue, the bald eagle, _Lift Every Voice and Sing_, free speech, the Union itself, and E Pluribus Unum.

👏🏽< this is a VERY quiet golf clap. Today four SCOTUS justices dissented about the literal text of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment. I'm pleased that five justices of that same court saw fit to apply the literal meaning of the 14th Amendment - i.e. common sense. We, as a nation, are on the edge.

Nobody: Me: I’m impressed with Jozy Altidore’s Spanish.

Orlando Gill para presidente. 🙌🏽 🇵🇾

¡Veno Paraguay!

Échense un mate frío, carnales. ¡Vamos!

Props to Japan. They played their asses off. A couple of little mistakes that Brasil players exploited to the fullest were the difference in the 2nd half. Tough way to go out. Parabéns, Brasil!

Temwa Chawinga & the KC Current play today! #KCBaby

Senegal had something to say today. 👀

There will be no zero-zero ties in this time slot of the world cup! GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL! (x 3) Come on, Curaçao, get on the board!

Humble Kansas Citian brag: I smoked a turkey breast on Father's Day. It is the BOMB! My lunch sandwich today is beautifully smoky. It is pairing well with Kinship Cafe's soup of the day (today's is tomato soup).

I move that the combined score of this Morocco v Haiti match be deducted from the French goal differential. Because, you know, colonialism. Vive Haïti et vive le Maroc.

Man. I'm bummed for Vancouver and all of Canada, really. Tough loss.

It’s pretty cool to watch & to listen to a bunch of Colombianos and Congolese sing Cielito Lindo in Guadalajara, Jalisco, MX. 🍻

No ganaron, pero sí Ghanaron en mi opinión.

This makes me VERY happy. #KCBaby

Room and Galíndez both earned a pitcher of Boulevard Wheat and a Z Man each. That was the most action-packed exciting 0-0 tie I can remember seeing. #KC

It gives me a little bit of satisfaction that Jeff (MFin’) Bezos’ company had to pay what I hope was an obscene amount of money to a Black woman from my hometown for her intellectual property. It’s “so good, so good, so fuckin’ real.”👸🏽 #Dotte

We are NOT a serious country, Part II.

We are NOT a serious country.

It couldn’t have deeper meaning. I love it. ❤️🤍💙

The Aussies came to brawl today. ❤️🤍💙 #USA

Juneteenth! #Liberation #Freedom

Y, millones de Mexicanos vuelven a respirar.

My God and Creator, I pray that you grant me the superior level of chill you granted to Secretary Hillary Clinton attending the Obama Presidential Center inauguration today. Amen.

Whoever believes that the Swiss are always neutral has not been watching what they're doing to the Bosnian (Bosnian-Herzegovinan?) side (which is down to 10 players).

I question my country's leaders when we are elevating the "Department of War," and seeking to dissolve the "Department of Education." This goes completely against my values as a US citizen.

If you love goals, you must be absolutely thrilled with this England v Croatia match. The combined final score might scratch double digits.

Announcer: And Musa scored near the end of first half stoppage time.

Uh oh, Portugal is looking like mortal human beings (not Euro-football gods)? The Iberian Peninsula's football fandom must be freaking out a little bit this week.

Dude. Iraq has come SO close a half-dozen times. If they can tie it up again, it will get VERY interesting.
