LeBron James is a Sixer, NEVER let anyone tell you to stop being delusional.
No matter who wins we have our worst WC champ since...probably Argentina 1978. Very fitting given all what else has gone on during this tourney.
Someone fucking score. I dont care if its Messi, Wemby, or The Count, just put this game out of its misery.
if anyone’s up in Boston (Rhode Island) for the match, a friend has two tickets on the field free to a loud home! @spiritsquadron.bsky.social @heyspirits.bsky.social
This call feels different to me than other unfair calls (missed handballs, for example). There was an active effort to find the call. That need to audit every moment leading up to the goal, looking for a reason to cancel it. That level of paranoid scrutiny is not directed at teams equally.
My gosh. Yesterday, Egypt Coach Hossam Hassan asked FIFA to use its "soft power" to help Palestinians. Then today, just as the Egypt-Argentina match began, Israel killed Mohammed al-Wahidi of the Egyptian Relief Committee in Gaza — a group that also organized Gaza screenings of the FIFA matches.
Fully trust that ya'll will make it happen.

Great experience @vermontgreenfc.bsky.social yesterday. Good crowd. Cheap tickets. Immaculate vibes. We'll be back for the semi on Saturday.
As with most things soccer on the internet is Very Annoying but once you go out irl to enjoy it with people live it becomes Very Fun again
If correct, African and Asian feds have been suspended from tournaments for less
Ben Jacobs@jacobsben.bsky.social · last mo.🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.
Berman levels of incompetence and disregard for worker safety if this goes ahead.
Egypt coach Hossam Hassan has dedicated his team’s World Cup knockout win over Australia to the people of Palestine. Here he is holding up the Palestinian flag after the event.
If he didn't act like he invented woso fandom, he would know these things. Be humble, my dude, sit down
Mitch🦦@mitchpeotter.bsky.social · last mo.Teal man tried to get in the 14ers section and got kicked out immediately
Hopefully each one of those guys (except that one) gets a fat club contract out of this
Cape Verde defeats Argentina via a 2-3 loss in extra time
One of my favorite things about this team is everyone appears to have their surname on their jersey, except the two guys named Kevin.

Time to be a buzzkill but the NWSL paying for a high-profile photographer/influencer to post photos of Ronaldo — who has faced multiple sexual assault allegations — as part of their summer of soccer to advertise a women’s soccer league……… Why.
I leave it to better ball-knowers than I to figure out how this works basketball-wise. But I'm psyched this guy now plays for the home team.
