I took my birthday money intended for investment and paid a single mom’s rent in Boise instead.
So for my upcoming bday I’m hoping people will donate to housing advocates bc they lack what we have here in LA for help and need all the help they can get 🙏 https://t.co/JWkD0dFfWL
🌊East End to 🗻East End officially begins tomorrow. And when I go back to the latter, I’m bringing NY bagels for the Boise Gooners— their life is about to change 😅
Then look at the US team on defense v Belgium, getting pulled out, chasing the wrong man, getting split. This is all down to poor awareness of the game.
This takes serious development and a lot of innate talent we are not putting through our pipeline.
People saying that our top athletes going into NBA, NFL are why we don’t produce top talent in soccer act like physicality is all it takes.
Dumb take, the most important thing about soccer is VISION and second to that, what you do w/ that as opponents rapidly close you down.
Mbappé is extremely fast, and tall, but he’s also got a touch that allows him to exploit defense and force them into errors, like yesterday’s pen. Or take Olise, who finds passes few at the top level do.
All of these players exploit opportunities. It’s not raw physicality.
Malibu has historically burned a lot. These areas burn. Human life just causes more fires. I have extended family that lost their home in the Woolsey fire and took damage in Palisades. They still plan to rebuild 🤷🏻♀️ That’s why insurance costs so much if you can even get it.
I can’t help but think that if that fire north of Boise were in LA, they’d have already developed that urban wildland interface and this would be 10x worse. Alas all the nice trails up there burned.
France plays a semi final on the national holiday — also my bday — and the local French restaurant in my moms town in NY is having a massive block party viewing party. What a bday gift 🙌
Will watch the final in the city regardless the teams ofc.
All Belgium needs is a strong physical counter attack against Spain’s possession based game, albeit good luck getting them to miss a pass but the press is likely to be on. A super sub Lukaku might be the difference.
Close on the first prediction.
I have a Belgian upset for the next match to the surprise of many. I got Norway’s upset correct down to score of 2-1 over Brazil so let’s see!
Congrats to Morocco on another brilliant tournament. Some of my fondest memories are watching soccer w/ my Moroccan neighbors in NY. Shout out to the woman who saw my shirt and started a cheer for Morocco in French to which I responded in French, and we high fived. Good people 🫡
We had to delay the game to see if the Argentinian VAR ref would overturn one of the clearest penalties yet. Can’t help but think that rattled Mbappé. Way too long.

@moshik_temkin Americans believe everything should be a Business. They cant conceptualize human interaction where money doesn't change hands. Thats satanic commie shit to them. And Jesus personally will smite everyone not charging full price for rain.
I lived in Nantes, France, for five years. In a city of just 300K people, there are more than a dozen first-rate amateur soccer clubs, each kid paying €200 a year for everything. Each club has its own facility, owned and maintained by the city. 95% of the coaches are volunteers.
I consider myself privileged to divide my time btwn two cities and it breaks my heart to see posts from so many who need help. I can’t help everyone. However I know this organization does good work and I’m hoping as President of my TA I can volunteer there as well.
