Wishing the best of luck to the only Jewish player on the US Men's National Soccer Team, Matt Turner, on his World Cup match tonight! 🇺🇸⚽

[Kyle Marchak @kylemarchak]

The @USMNT begin their trek through a very unique World Cup tonight!

Here's EVERYTHING you need to know about this year's @FIFAWorldCup in two minutes⤵️

Alexi Lalas stuns Fox by calling James Corden ‘wanker’ on live TV https://t.co/gRZJcCwbVA

[Spartan Avenue @SpartanAvenueFS]

Tom Izzo is reportedly checking in on the elite 4-star SG son of Michigan State legend Mateen Cleaves.

Mateen Cleaves Jr. may be the Spartans’ top 2028 target.

[Capital Weather @capitalweather]

DC hit 100 today! First 100+ high since August 2024. Beat the record for the date of 95. BWI Marshall/Baltimore also set a record with 97.

Just a few storms around, including another quick-hitter closing on DC. Still a strong to severe storm chance through evening.

[Football Meets Data @fmeetsdata]

📈 Teams with >90% chance to make the Round of 32, after Day 1 of the World Cup.

[American Outlaws D.C. @AO_DC]

So one thing we are going to kind of sort let out of the bag right now is this.

If you happen to find us @SolaceBrewing / @SolaceOutpost or @FranklinHallDC and you are visiting from another country or a fan of another team.

We want to continue a soccer tradition but in our own way. If you bring us a scarf from whatever country, or team or whoever you roll with than we will trade you one of ours as part of our way of saying welcome. Our goal is to when all is said and done put any teams we have collected on display permanently.

[Jonathan Greenblatt @JGreenblattADL]

Matt Turner found his Jewish roots in a document that helped his great-grandmother flee the Holocaust. Now he's representing @TeamUSA as the only Jewish player on the team and possibly in the entire 2026 @FIFAWorldCup! That's a story worth knowing. https://t.co/SBTH23r2ne

[Jessica Sidman @jsidman]

Every bar opening in DC seems to be Tulum themed all of a sudden.

[Nicki Jhabvala @NickiJhabvala]

Super important breaking NFL news in June: Brandon Aiyuk apparently wore a velour tracksuit to D.C., where it's 93 degrees.

(Emphasis on "apparently" b/c giving a location doesn't necessarily make it true.)

[FIFA Media @fifamedia]

Official attendance figures reflect the number of tickets scanned and spectators present within the stadium footprint, rather than visual assessments of seating occupancy at any given moment during the match. FIFA works closely with stadium authorities and ticketing teams to ensure all published figures are based on verified operational data.

Please note that, during last night’s match in Guadalajara, several ticketed fans could be seen standing in concourses rather than staying in their assigned seats throughout the match.

🚨 Exclusive: Thomas Partey is unavailable to play in Ghana’s opening World Cup match against Panama in Canada on June 17 as he has been denied entry to the country. Full story @TheAthleticFC: https://t.co/AzcsWhz4TC

One day from MetLife opener, after months of drama…

-Tens of thousands of transit tickets need to be sold in next 24 hrs
-2 boats & 500 buses on standby if $98 trains can’t go
-Lanes approaching Lincoln tunnel reserved for “FIFA-permitted vehicles”

A terrible 🎟️ buying experience for fans via @FIFAWorldCup..

Watch below‼️

[Sammi Silber 🏒 @sammisilber]

The Capitals have some work to do this offseason, and all the while, they're waiting on Alex Ovechkin's decision.

That said, they can — and should — be adding up front regardless, and it's not all-or-nothing depending on if he returns or not.

Texas Tech is standing by this dude? 🤦

[Scott Friedman 🎟️ @ScottFriedman3]

🚨There are also several things at work here with the @FIFAWorldCup ticket situation.

There is absolutely unprecedented demand. If @FIFAWorldCup (Gianni) put $100 🎟️ onsale today for even the least appealing match, they would sellout in seconds.

Brazil, Portugal, Mexico, Argentina, Columbia, USA games to name a few all have unprecedented demand.

Fans are paying thousands of dollars for 🎟️ to these games and will continue to do so as the tournament progresses.

Algeria, Jordan, Egypt, New Zealand, Qatar games to name a few have little demand because of the crazy prices FIFA has put into place. If those games were $50/100 they would be instant sellouts.

One thing to continue to remember here is @FIFAWorldCup (Gianni) doesn’t care if a stadium has empty seats. They have no interest in making sure every seat is filled nor any appetite for lowering 🎟️prices. 👀👀
