If I've got this right, messi has lost 2 of his last 3 cup finals, and appears to have been mostly marked out of them by opposing midfielders. One was the ballon d'or 2 years ago, the other is Obed Vargas.

If you don't know about Port Said, pick up a copy of Cairos Ultras. The story of supporter culture in Egypt is short, tragic, and inspiring. bookshop.org/p/books/cair...

I *want* to be able to enjoy the world cup, but I just can't do it. It has brought too much pain and suffering to too many people and communities that I can't look past, even in the most exciting of moments and the biggest matches.

Update: SoFi workers have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, "meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met." Negotiations continue Monday — but the first World Cup game at SoFi is one week from today

SoFi Stadium Workers Vote 96% to Authorize Strike Days Before FIFA World Cup Cashiers, cooks, bartenders, and dishwashers could walk off the job at any moment as Legends Global and FIFA fail to reach agreement on pay, subcontracting limits, and worker safety LOS ANGELES — SoFi Stadium cashiers, dishwashers, cooks, bartenders, concessions workers, and food attendants have voted 96% in favor of authorizing a strike, meaning workers could walk off the job at any moment if their demands are not met. Negotiations are scheduled to continue Monday ahead of the USA v. Paraguay match on June 12th. Living wage: Pay that reflects the true cost of living in Los Angeles, including premium pay for World Cup and other mega-events, and payment to a housing fund to build housing for hospitality workers. Limits on AI, technology, and subcontracting: Strong protections against the erosion of union jobs through unimpeded subcontracting and technology and automation Right to strike if ICE comes to the workplace: Workers must have the right to walk off the job if federal immigration enforcement enters the stadium and creates a reasonable fear for their safety — no worker should have to choose between their job and their freedom. Contract negotiations with stadium food service operator Legends Global and FIFA have not had significant progress on key economic and workplace safety issues.

SoFi workers will hold their strike authorization vote next week, on June 4 and 5, one week before the first U.S. match of the World Cup is held at SoFi, ahem, Los Angeles Stadium. Workers are demanding a cut of the stadium's luxury packages and safety protections from ICE activity

As another European season ends and the coaching dominoes start to fall, I'm once again reminded of how incredibly fortunate we are to have had only 2 @soundersfc.com coaches in over 24 years. Between Schmetz and Sigi, 2 great men have built and instilled a club culture that is unmatched, anywhere.
