Nouhou giving a new meaning to the term “ball watching” on that second Toluca goal. Really sucks that the Sounders have ZERO backup LBs because Nouhou needs to fucking sit for a few games. He deserves to sweat but feels absolutely no heat.

Lmao the discourse around wildfires is so funny to me because one side screams “CLIMATE CHANGE” while the other side screams “FOREST MISMANAGEMENT” and for some reason it seems to occur to nobody that two things can be true at once and a thing can have more than a single cause
Not only have the Seattle Sounders lost three matches in a row to bad teams, they’ve also also lost three matches in a row to interim coaches 🫠🫠🫠
Man the air last night, even at our house, almost 7 miles away from the Puget Sound, smelled like saltwater. Just one of the best fucking smells in the world. Seattle summer is just so good.
So you’re telling me England CAN still play attacking soccer after taking a lead? But when they were playing the comeback kings, they went up one goal and bunkered? Are…are we sure that was entirely THEIR decision? Cause that’s a mighty fine narrative to get FIFA’s golden boy into one last final…
The USMNT: Ah hell yeah a really important home game in Seattle that means so much to our fans, let’s come out super flat and look nothing like the team folks were seeing earlier in this competition The Sounders: Hold my fuckin beer Simply shambolic stuff from the Orca boys lmao
Icl one of my favorite underrated small things about the World Cup was the fact that a 7pm kickoff meant a fucking 7pm kickoff. I was numb to MLS’s kickoff time bullshit before but the World Cup has fully radicalized me #MLS
Phil Nevs may be the most unintentionally funny person on the planet 😭😭 Already miss him at Portland so much 🥺
John Muller@johnspacemuller.com · 3w agoPhil lost the game in the headline 2-0 and was fired the next week
@soccerwisehq.bsky.social rightfully blasting the England v Norway World Cup quarterfinal taking place in Miami at 5pm local time in July. I am once again insufferably reminding everyone that the “feels like” temperature in Seattle at the same euro-pandering time was at LEAST 20 degrees cooler.
Like my timeline has been all World Cup. Complete bliss. I did not wanna see those mfs on my timeline. But this, I guess, I’ll allow
MattDrumDawg@mattdrumdawg.bsky.social · 3w agoLmao damn Lindsay Graham and Mitch McConnell in the same week is absolutely wild

Lmao they could be playing this game in Seattle where it’s 72 degrees with 47% humidity (“feels like” 72) at 8:40pm but no they’re playing it where it’s 80 degrees with 66% humidity (“feels like” 84) at 10:40pm.
I am normally someone who likes to see the team that beat my team in a tournament go all the way because it means we lost to the best. But not Belgium. Belgium can get fucked. Vamos La Roja, viva España!
Pretty sure the only home run of my (rightfully short) little league career was scored this way…off of a bunt 🙈
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · 4w agoThis is the most hilarious little league home run I've ever seen, the Royals have outdone themselves
So personally, I’ma enjoy the fuck out of the fact that our boys are currently playing the ball of their life, and get to do it in a knockout World Cup match in my city (on a perfect summer day) If Balo scores the game winning goal, I will have zero icks and lose no sleep Just enjoy shit y’all jfc
MattDrumDawg@mattdrumdawg.bsky.social · last mo.I’ve personally seen multiple similar and worse “ankle stomps” this World Cup where I think “oof that looks bad, in MLS that’s a red” go completely uncarded or yield a yellow max. Balo never should’ve been suspended for this game.

MattDrumDawg@mattdrumdawg.bsky.social · last mo.Man this Balo red card shit has brought out some of the most insufferable takes Breaking news: You can hate the optics, process, corruption, and fact that DJT was involved at all (and is attempting to talk about soccer lmao) WHILE STILL being glad Balo’s playing tonight (as he should, wasn’t a red)

Doyle cooking with high octane gas here (idc about the mixed metaphor here)
Matthew Doyle@mattdoyle.bsky.social · last mo.Trump has thrown the karmic balance out of whack. The only remedy is to insert a being of pure goodness and light into the XI: a footballer so ethically immaculate that he bends the universe back toward justice. An apostle of the beautiful game. Someone the Soccer Gods simply cannot root against.
I had barista training for my new job at Tully’s (RIP) in Georgetown during the 1st half of our 2014 knockout game against Belgium. I rushed over to Machine House Brewing to catch the 2nd half and extra time. Now here we are 12 years later HOSTING the rematch just up the road from there. Surreal.
The way European teams have largely looked like hot garbage against non-European teams in the knockout rounds has been one of my favorite 2026 World Cup narratives
Jeremiah Oshan@jeremiah.sounderatheart.com · last mo.Senegal firmly in control now. Great play by Ismaila Sarr to control that off his chest, fight off a defender and blast it past Courtois. 2-0
@totalsoccershow.bsky.social Taylor describing Portugal vs Croatia as a stoppable force meeting a movable object perfectly encapsulates how I feel about that R32 matchup 🤣🤣
Also I do like that Fox has “live from <location>” on the screen for every match the whole time.
MattDrumDawg@mattdrumdawg.bsky.social · last mo.The Telemundo World Cup broadcasts are better than the Fox ones for many reasons but I will say they are severely lacking in on-screen stats. They rarely show Possession, xG, or any other interesting player or team stats, and when they do stg it’s on the screen for half a second. Am I just a nerd?

We’re officially in the “gonna need more screens” stage of the World Cup
At a bowling alley in Oxnard, CA right now. @elrolonw.bsky.social is on every tv. @sounderatheart.com is worldwide babyyy
oh sure when Argentina does it it's a "brilliant transcendent dummy" and when Jordan does it it's a "miskick"
CJ Fogler@cjzero.bsky.social · last mo.It wasn't pretty but Nizar Al-Rashdan has the first goal for Jordan, it's 1-0
Why are the Norway fans rowing so slowly? I feel like the wind and current would defeat any progress they make. Idk just seems inefficient I guess
Curaçao getting any sort of result against Ecuador here would be a serious blow to the “expanded tournament sucks” agenda
WOW Colombia score the goal of the tournament so far wearing the kits of the tournament so far
