I’m old enough to remember the people in Argentina burning Messi jerseys and vandalizing his statue in Buenos Aires and saying he would never live up to Maradona… 😂
Only thing I’ve noticed from the Ronaldo fan base is them attacking Thierry Henry’s career and not actually discussing what he said about their idol. 😂
When no proper discourse can be had, they just personally and professionally attack the man
What an ass midfield. Just having Edson spamming long balls because Romo and Sanchez can’t string two passes together. Why even start them…. Ay Aguirre 😒
Aight…. Now that match day 1 is done, I dunno if it’s recency bias or not but this has been the best first round of matches I can remember
#FIFAWorldCup
They saying Brazil fútbol team is like the Dallas cowboys. 😭
Huge in the 60s, 70s, 80s, and 90s… now always overrated and just hanging on to past glory 😭😂
I’m almost sure the Spurs coulda won that game by just holding the ball and taking 24 second violations all second half long. This new NBA ain’t for me. Too much low IQ quick 3 point shots for no reason. Mighta been the worst half of basketball I’ve ever seen.

Jay Z and Nas kept dissing each other years later after the beef was over
Stop complaining about Drake dissing Kendrick even if the beef was over it's forever between the two
YouTubers be like “wake up at 4am and run, that’s alpha!” No, it’s not. Look at apex predators; they’re all lazy. Bears hibernate, lions sleep all day. You know who wakes up at 4am and runs? Squirrels.
For his fans maybe, those of us that listen to the genre for real are fine. KRIT has dropped some dope music. This Isaiah Rashad album getting heavy playback. Still have to give this AZ album a spin. Wale dropped a great album earlier this year. We been eating out here.
“Sorry gas prices are sky high and you’ll never own a home — anyway check out these grainy UFO pics!”
Cannot overstate how stupid these people think we are.
Jay Z outsold Nas, but we was all outside. We saw what Nas did to Hov on that record. And drake better outsell GNX. Kendrick dropped that album on a random Friday morning with absolutely no rollout. Iceman has been teased for the better part of the last year now.
🚨 Akademiks predicts Drake ICEMAN will outsell Kendrick Lamar’s GNX by a wide margin
says he has Drake doing 450K–550K first week
adds if Drake pushes physicals, it could go up to 600K+
“if he does double GNX… that’s the conversation over”
calls anything above 600K a statement that there’s still a gap
also says Drake is doing this “off the muscle” without label push
You know what sucks? I thought I’d be so excited for the US World Cup.
Instead every new piece of information that comes out just makes me angry.
Legit would have been cheaper and easier to go to the Qatar World Cup than to go to a game in my backyard.
It got me thinking…who is this World Cup actually for?
In 1994, I was able to take my family to matches here in the United States. It wasn’t a luxury decision, it was something that felt within reach, and that mattered because that’s how the game grows and that’s how memories are made. I was living in Boston working for Reebok at the time, and so we were able to go to so many games at Foxborough as well as in New York City. In full disclosure, my work also allowed me to travel to games on the West Coast, including the final. While that was not the best shop window for The Beautiful Game it was stunning to see the Rose Bowl fulled to the brim with 94,000 fans.
Now fast forward to 2026.
Imagine a young family here in America today. Mum, dad, two kids who love the game. They sit down and look at the cost of attending just one match…tickets, travel, maybe a night or two in a hotel…and they pause. Not because they don’t love the game enough, it’s because they simply can’t justify it.
in my 45 years living here in the US and being involved in the game at so many different levels, I’ve never seen its popularity spike like it is today. Gen Z has fully embraced the game, Welcome to Wrexham has laid bare the passion and the joy it can ignite in a previously beleaguered community,
and we are spoiled for the choice of just about every major game in the world brought to us by streaming channels fighting for their place in broadcasting live sports.
Or think about a supporter from abroad. Someone who has followed their national team their entire life. For many, this isn’t just a trip, it’s a once-in-a-lifetime pilgrimage.
Between ticket pricing, travel costs, and uncertainty around access, that dream starts to slip out of reach.
That’s the part that sits uneasily with me.
The World Cup has always been more than a tournament. It’s been a gathering of people, cultures, stories. A place where the game feels like it belongs to everyone.
If too many of those people are left watching from afar, we lose something that can’t be measured in revenue. It becomes a made-for-tv spectacle like the Super Bowl, and then we lose the soul of it…
And once that starts to go, it’s very hard to get back.
