Nice to see VAR stepping in here -- get rid of this type of play! ๐ Joked before the game about Almiron likely to flop 30 seconds into the match ... I hope players with this reputation get back to just playing good football and lose the extracurriculars!
This thread is embarrassing: Not the commercial part ... the fact that our region feels so reliant on understanding commentary. You really can't follow?! Watching @Telemundo / @peacock for the duration of the tournament, and about to do another @duolingo lesson in a sec. ๐
The Trump administration has claimed referee Omar Abdulkadir Artan was denied admission to the U.S. due to โassociation with suspected members of terror organisations.โ
The referee was one of 52 match officials chosen by FIFA for the World Cup. He reported to Miami last weekend to join a training camp with his peers in Florida ahead of the tournament.
Artan told the New York Times on Tuesday that he โhad the right papersโ and โthe right visaโ before traveling to the United States and he also had accreditation as a match official by FIFA.
The issue, therefore, appears to have emerged upon attempting to enter at the border. He said that border officials interviewed him at Miami International Airport during a process of over 11 hours, before being detained in a holding cell and then sent back to Istanbul, Turkey, where he began his journey.
After The Athletic contacted the White House for comment on the matter, a senior administration official said: โUpon further inspection by CBP, derogatory information, including association with suspected members of terror organizations, was discovered making the traveler ineligible for admission to the United States under the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA).
โThe traveler was refused admission and given immigration forms that provide the section of law used to complete an expedited removal under 8235 of the INA. President Trumpโs administration will not allow any security threat to enter our country โ full stop.โ

So much joy seeing Brazilโs entire team get red-carded. And a stoic Emma Hayes just standing in the technical area while all the BS was happening. #USWNT
A great ambassador for the @chicagobulls, that's for sure! RIP, Stacey. ๐ ... Will never forget the day a rookie King and Michael Jordan combined for 70 points! ๐ #Bulls
The Chicago Bulls have announced that former player and beloved broadcaster Stacey King has passed.
Our thoughts are with his family and loved ones.
RIP Stacey King
If you're gutted by this not working out, you haven't followed Brentford long enough, or need to develop a necessary even-keeled demeanor! ๐ Moving on! ๐ #BrentfordFC
๐จโ BREAKING | Said El Mala and his family have officially informed Brentford now that they do not want to join the club.
This comes despite Brentfordโs improved offer of around โฌ50m (โฌ45m fixed plus โฌ5m add-ons), which 1. FC Kรถln were prepared to accept. #Effzeh
As always reported, El Mala never had an agreement with Brentford. El Malaโs future is now completely open again.

I just wanna know if Wegner had to empty the dirt out of his shoes in between innings, that was a sandstorm from Piniella! What a great moment! ๐ #GoCubsGo#Cubs
It was #OTD in 2007 that Lou Pinella was ejected from a game for the first time as #Cubs manager. It was Louโs first year managing the team and the Cubs started the season with a disappointing 22-30 record. The Cubs were trailing 4-3 after blowing a three-run lead and it looked like they would lose their sixth straight game. With no outs, Angel Pagan, the tying run, was at second base. Braves pitcher Rafael Soriano threw a ball in the dirt, Pagan ran to third, but catcher Jarrod Saltalamacchia picked the ball on a hop and gunned it to third and Pagan was called out. Piniella then stormed out of the dugout to argue the call to argue with third base umpire Mark Wegner. Lou kicked dirt on Wegnerโs shoes, screamed in his face, and kicked his hat multiple times as he was ejected. The Cubs lost the game 5-3 and Lou was suspended for four games.
Freese on the bench is one of a handful of questions Iโve got right now. Guess until I get a pro coaching license, I just have to bite my tongue. ๐ #USMNT
On Friday, the 55 players on the USMNT preliminary roster got an email. For 26 of them, their dreams came true, headed to the World Cup.
For the rest? Heartbreak.
โI hurt for the guys,โ Real Salt Lake head coach Pablo Mastroeni said.

Pretty sure we had about 50-ish @BrentfordFC supporters in-house at The Red Lion today! Thanks to the Saratoga Bees for making their annual commute to join us, too! Europe is almost in our grasp. #NYCBees#BrentfordFC#COYB ๐๐ฝ
Thanks for an amazing season!
The Diego Luna omission is the worst, purely on the basis of his broken nose/tenacity against Costa Rica. He earned a World Cup spot right then and there for me. #USMNT
