So back in 2013 during my modern physics class I theorized the following. 1986-1969=17. 17*2=34. 1986+34=2020. So we're due for a world series this year. After all the drama totally gonna happen followed by a major motion picture

What is Mathieu Darche’s plan to sign Erling Haaland?

[Caleb Adams @itscalebadams]

This narrative that the World Cup is rigged for the US just doesn’t add up:

- Placed on the side of the bracket with Germany, Morocco, Netherlands, Portugal, Spain, and France
- Refereeing across all 4 US matches has not been favorable to the US
- Were given a red in a knockout match with 30 minutes left to play

This is the supposed “corruption” in favor of the US?

The real investigation needs to be made on the preferential treatment of Argentina.

Pulisic on Balogun red: "It was extremely harsh. If you want to call it justice, call it whatever. We were prepared to play without him. We've been granted this opportunity to have him. I'm mostly just happy for him, seeing that smile on his face. He deserves to be playing."

BREAKING @TheAthleticFC

Folarin Balogun will be available to play the USMNT’s round of 16 match against Belgium with his one-game red-card ban suspended. Extraordinary development.

The last player that scored a goal and got a red card in the World Cup KO stage was Zinedine Zidane.. and he headbutted someone

“We heard the crowd the whole time, and it felt like we didn’t lose a man” — Chris Richards #USMNT

[Sanjay Sujanthakumar @tha_Real_Kumar]

the other mystifying thing about the Balogun red is the amount of cynical fouls and the non calls up until then.. if you're letting players play that's fine but not only was it super harsh (anything can look dangerous deliberate in slow mo), it didn't make any sense in context of game

I NEED EVERY SINGLE ANGLE OF CHRISTIAN AND WES 😭😭

[matt eichinger @mjeichinger]

“Why hasn’t soccer taken off more in America?” As a casual fan, I present to you exhibit A. Balogun has been intentionally held, kicked, fouled harder than this the entire game. Then this no intent, accidental contact foul draws red. Stupid sport can’t get out of its own way.

🚨🇺🇸 Zlatan Ibrahimović hails Christian Pulisic after USA 2-0 Bosnia & Herzegovina

“People always expect the captain to score the goals and take the headlines. But sometimes the greatest performance is making everyone around you better. Pulisic was the heartbeat of this team. Every dangerous attack started with him, he kept asking questions, he never stopped running, and even when a goal was taken away from him, he kept playing with the same hunger. That is leadership—not complaining, but responding.”

“When Balogun was sent off, I watched Pulisic closely. Some captains panic. Some disappear. He became even bigger. He demanded the ball, calmed his teammates, and made sure Bosnia never believed they had control. That is what separates good players from real leaders.”

“Tillman scored the masterpiece, Freese made the saves, the defenders threw their bodies in front of everything, but do not forget the man wearing the armband. Pulisic carried the pressure of an entire nation and still played with courage. That is why the United States are still in this World Cup. You need talent to win matches, but you need players like Pulisic to win tournaments.”

@IanHest The ref was so obviously biased against the U.S. that game it was embarrassing

[Chris DeRose | Hotels, Housing, History @chrisderose]

It’s a lot to ask Americans to get invested in a sport where a single referee can remove a star player for two games with no accuracy and no ability to review.

[Lars Sivertsen @larssivertsen]

I am not entirely convinced this part of the VAR protocols was followed here.

[Debbie Johnson @DebbieGodebbie]

24 years since we won a knockout. I know its been forever but staggering to hear

[Debbie Johnson @DebbieGodebbie]

I was like is that weston skipping to country roads. The answer was yes. He was gleefully skipping. And rightfully so #usmnt

[jin🇺🇸🇦🇷🇪🇸🇫🇷🇳🇴🇨🇴 @wembytip]

@USMNT Messi literally did the same thing and he didn’t even get a yellow 😭😭

[Debbie Johnson @DebbieGodebbie]

Fifa saw the USMNT doing good for once and decided jk we're making up a shit redcard to take out your striker
