@uscfan981 @Irish_Cowboy88 Montana … 4-0 in Super Bowls; zero picks; three-time Super Bowl MVP. So, it’s Montana - without a doubt.

@USMNT A solid run in the tourney, but the team still isn’t there yet against the big dogs. I believe the whole red card drama served as an unnecessary distraction.

Expressing the sentiment others must be feeling about this iteration of the World Cup: It’s must-see TV.

@johnsavage_ai @usmntonly Nice attempt at humor! This sort of thing has been going on for years in sports.

Happy Fourth! 🎆

@NBCSGiants In a lost season, humor is needed. Thanks.

Worrying about what someone else is thinking, saying, or doing will not make your life better.

Never look for validation from outside sources. Your validation and sense of self-worth must come from your own standards.

@WorldnPictures I visited Siem Reap in 2012. Incredible.

@ManagerTactical Good feelings about the team’s chances either way. Keep it going! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸!!!!

[Andrew Alkire @AndrewAlk1218]

@soccerfan2026 @usmntonly Good vibes only! 😊.

[Andrew Alkire @AndrewAlk1218]

@usmntonly Great to hear. Keep the good vibes going. I envision a good run incoming. U … S … A … 🇺🇸!

@UnfilteredSoccr Even the best teams need luck - no matter the sport. In the context of soccer/football, surely you remember the “Hand of God” goal as perpetuated by Maradona in 1986. You’re telling me luck wasn’t involved in that? Argentina went on to win that game and ultimately the Cup.

@UnfilteredSoccr If one has followed sports long enough, they will acknowledge that upsets happen all the time: 1980 Winter Olympics Hockey Final.

@CracraftFan Without question The WORLD Cup.

[Andrew Alkire @AndrewAlk1218]

@RStevendad @USMNT Spot on! Doppelgängers indeed!

[Andrew Alkire @AndrewAlk1218]

@rsxfan @Gmac13no1 @FittieSmalls In my view, any team who qualifies for the World Cup is not average.

[Andrew Alkire @AndrewAlk1218]

@USMNT The team has come together quite nicely. They will need to ratchet things up in the knockout stage, but I know they can do it; they know it too. It’s been proven time and again that HEART and TOGETHERNESS can help a team win a chip. U … S … A … 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪!
