Gonna get ahead of this and say: I bet they didn’t make a single call

I’m being serious when I say this Cape Verde World Cup run is everything good about sports
Christian Christensen@chrchristensen.bsky.social · last mo.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.
That is a penalty, but VAR hasn't intervened to overturn similar penalties in this World Cup. It's out of step with what has been a pretty consistent standard at the tournament.

Having UK based announcers watching CONCACAF referees and be appalled at the officiating has been one of my favorite side bits from the #FIFAWC
I really wish journalists wasted as much time talking about all the horribly wrong takes of guys like Kendrick Perkins, Stephen A Smith, and the host of other men paid to spew irrational takes on a daily basis. Becky’s take was far from the worst one. But she is a woman, so, you know, sports bros…

Look at the end of the day you can believe in the America represented in the picture or the America represented by the administration trying to oppose that picture and co-opt it at the same time.

Everyone loves NASA missions so much. It’s not just because it’s space travel it’s because there is a sense that we are doing something collectively that isn’t purely evil vs. 20 exploding SpaceX rockets that dump garbage in poor Texas communities and low orbit that everyone forgets an hour later.
