@SwedishRumble Versatile but if we can get Hall, I’d put my eggs there

@htomufc Top work yet again H 👏🏻👏🏻

@bensmithppc Think Scott out of those 3, esp if the news he declined a renewal are true

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@UtdSFX Massively overrated as you said. Also, he has shown this WC how mentally he cannot bear the responsibility of a nation.

@RedMarrow_ Normal service resumed, delighted

@PortuGoal1 Ronaldo debate will continue but honestly thought the vaunted midfield was…meh the entire tournament. They never really took a game over

🚨#BREAKING: A 28-year-old confirms he has spent the last 10 YEARS of his life interviewing World War II combat veterans to keep their stories alive...

...in fact, for the last 10 years, he has interviewed World War 2 veterans EVERY SINGLE DAY

He started as a teenager, ditching school to ride his BIKE to the local retirement home, walking up to the front desk and asking to, "meet some World War II heroes."

His name is Rishi Sharma.

He's crossed all 50 states and half the world.

He's slept in his car and lived on gas-station food to afford it.

He asks these men for hours of their memories, and then he hands the entire recording to their families...

...FOR FREE

So that 200 years from now, a great-great-grandchild will know not just their hero's name, but how he laughed, how he cried, and what he sacrificed.

Rishi has no military family, his parents immigrated here from India.

He does it out of pure gratitude.

In his words:

"My parents were given the opportunity to immigrate and raise a family because of veterans like these. It's a debt of love I'll spend my entire life trying to repay..."

As one 100-year-old Marine who stormed Iwo Jima told him, remembering the flag going up:

"The hair on my arms still stands up when I think about how beautiful it was."

THAT is America.

250 years of ordinary people doing extraordinary things...

God bless our veterans. 🇺🇸🇺🇸

@ZachLowy 4 games in a month long tournament now, yes. Overall, not a chance

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@RedMarrow_ It’s what we all hate here: the 1 month fans who know “how to solve all soccers issues” 🤣👍🏻

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@htomufc thoughts on Elliot Stroud as a potential LB option for us? Looked decent in this WC and can’t cost too much from Mjallby

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@UtdVibezy67 @UtdXclusive Not sure this is totally fair on Utd. Who was in the market for Ugarte pre-WC?? Hardly played and when he did, ineffective is being kind. zero links of him going anywhere; it sucks but these things happen

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@Gideoomatic I think we can say goodbye to selling Ugarte this summer, looks a bad one

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@PortuGoal1 Pace in behind. Thought Mendes/Cancelo/Bruno all great/pivotal today

[Mehdi Hasan @mehdirhasan]

Just savage. Savage! If @AlexiLalas wasn’t a Trump supporter I might almost feel sorry for him.

What a takedown: https://t.co/Y7ywO2e9iU

@PopcornNMovie Favorite Eastwoods you’ve seen are?

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@hesham786 Early days. Think ederson was the most getable early and that’s fine. We need depth. If this is it week 2 of preseason, then it’s time to have some fears

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@htomufc might we being seeing the WC being the catalyst for a return to 442 and two 9’s? Seems like that’s been the way early
On

[Pat in VA @PatPills09]

@The_Maxxel Squad player? Sure. Rather spend any potential money first on Hall
