CAPE VERDE!!!!!!! ARE YOU KIDDING ME I LOVE THIS TOURNAMENT SO MUCH

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

I didn’t realize Chiefs fans were so shit at this until I saw this video.

My god, this is awful

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

Sometimes I wish sports would just go “aww we should call this but that was awesome so we aren’t going to” kinda clause.

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

The best I’ve been able to come up with is targeting in college football.

Should 90% of targeting penalties result in ejections, of course not.

Are there many instances when it does and the whole country agrees a player/team gets hosed, of course.

Thats how this call felt

[Everything Ole Miss @EverythingRebs]

Soccer fans,

I need somebody to explain to me how this is a red card

Feels like the US just got hosed

@flatland_sports All black unis are coming and we all know it

[Bryan @Metalpanthers]

Gudas dressing for a game in which he was too injured to play in, just so he could take his medicine is actually the exact opposite of being a bitch.

He didn’t throw a punch either. He knew he was in the wrong and let the leafs get their pound of flesh. Very honorable tbh

@IowaChill And 95 with no humidity is also not bad. What’s your point? 😂😂

Since 2017:

• Iowa and Iowa State have both made two trips to their respective conference championship games (2)
• Iowa's overall win % is 68% to Iowa State's 57% but Iowa State has 13 wins against AP Top 25 teams to Iowa's 6
• Iowa has largely owned the series but hasn't won in Iowa City since 2018 and hasn't officially won a game in the series since 2021

Iowa has been better in the last eight seasons, there's no doubt. They also are certainly better historically, there's not an argument there. But in a day in age where history and tradition mean as little as it ever has, Iowa State is one of Iowa's peers, even if they don't want to admit it.

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

Iowa will never get a bid to the CFP by winning the conference. To get an at large bid they will need a P4 OOC win.

Iowa state will likely never get an at large bid, they will almost always need to win the conference to get in the CFP.

This game is now more important for Iowa

[Brad Schultz @BradMSchultz]

As it stands right now, 2026 is the penultimate Cy-Hawk Game.

With no game scheduled past 2027, it got me thinking. Does Iowa still benefit from playing this game every year?

My answer - no:

Obsessed that anyone is calling this a bad overturn when this exact situation is mentioned in the rulebook verbatim and the ruling was correct.

The World Cup is proof that, if it weren't for our leaders, the vast majority of people around the world would get along just fine.

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

@_TheBBQBarn Or hear me out…. Don’t over slide the base and it’s a non-issue.

[Eddie Mikus @eddiemikus]

If you are the top 10-15 teams in the world and you can’t win your qualifiers, you deserve the embarrassment of not being at the World Cup.

This goes double for a 48-team event.

No automatic qualifiers.

[Chris Williams @ChrisMWilliams]

Big news from Iowa State today: Alcohol sales are coming to Jack Trice Stadium this fall and Hilton Coliseum this winter.

Key points:

— No more leaving and re-entering Jack Trice Stadium during games.

— Two drinks per person, per purchase.

— Beer, wine and pre-packaged cocktails will be available.

— Alcohol will not be allowed on the grass hillsides/Jr. Cyclone Club areas.

— No alcohol vendors in seating areas.

— Sales will stop at designated points during games, like the end of the third quarter for football.

— Current club/suite/hospitality policies stay the same.

Iowa State says part of the proceeds will go toward alcohol education, student wellness and public safety improvements.

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

The right answer is probably B. However D gives you the lake of the ozarks, the Iowa state fair and Kansas City so is a sneaky good choice that nobody will talk about.

[Midwest vs. The Rest @midwestern_ope]

You have a month long vacation in the Midwest this summer. You can’t leave the zone you pick. Where are you going?

[Jeremy Olsen @JeremyOlsen41]

After a scrolling through Twitter, I can’t stop thinking about how US soccer should just lean into our college football culture. Nothing more American than that. Most passionate sport we have and it won’t feel like we are trying to copy or recreate a European thing.

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

Genuinely, is this the best team ever? Like who actually competes? Early 2000s Brazil? Is that it?

[Vyber(fan) @_Mac_lfc]

*Me throughout the whole year laughing at how in the USA they call football soccer*

United States out of absolutely nowhere:

@davidpollack47 @USMNT Indiana

[Alec @AlecNichols3]

The problem with this is based on how the teams have played so far. The US team might be the best looking in the tourney.

If every team is at their best, idk if the USA can hang with Spain or France. They might be able to. But I would need to see it actually happen first.

[Erik @OverEHill]

Serious question for knowledgeable soccer fans. Is there any country you have seen play so far in the World Cup that you think no way the US team could hang with?
