Little boy was distraught and in tears, but was still consoling his father who had just lost the biggest game of his life.
If you’re not watching World Cup you’re missing some of the greatest moments in sports history. https://t.co/7G3mdKcyuk
The only song worse than “Country Roads” is “Sweet Caroline”

There a million other songs you could play after winning a World Cup match and you pick country roads ?!? Come on
We really lived long enough to see @KingJames become the old man version of himself in this iconic 20-year-old @Nike ad campaign.
And somehow he's STILL playing basketball at an insanely high level. 🐐
Thomas Jefferson died on the 4th of July. Not just any 4th. The exact 50th anniversary of the Declaration he wrote. And on that same day, hundreds of miles away, his old friend and rival John Adams died too. You cannot make this up. Here's the story.
Everyone knows Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence at just 33 years old. Fewer people know the size of the mind behind it.
He was a relentless genius. He taught himself law, architecture, multiple languages, science, and farming. He designed his own home, Monticello, and kept refining it for forty years like he physically could not leave a good idea alone. He tinkered and invented constantly, including a better plow blade that he refused to patent because he believed useful ideas should belong to everyone, not be locked up for profit.
He was a book addict on a scale that's hard to picture today. He owned close to 10,000 books in his lifetime. And when the British burned the Capitol and destroyed the Library of Congress in 1814, Jefferson sold his personal collection of roughly 6,500 volumes to the nation to rebuild it. The Library of Congress today essentially grew back from his bookshelves.
He served as the nation's first Secretary of State, its second Vice President, and its third President. As President he pulled off the Louisiana Purchase, doubling the size of the country in a single stroke, and sent Lewis and Clark to map a continent.
He founded the University of Virginia, designed its buildings himself, and was so proud of it that he asked it to be carved on his tombstone, alongside writing the Declaration and the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom. Not one word about being President. He wanted to be remembered for what he built and what he taught.
And then the ending almost no one learns. He died on July 4, 1826, fifty years to the day after the nation was born. Adams, dying the very same day, reportedly murmured "Thomas Jefferson still survives," not knowing Jefferson had already passed hours earlier.
Two founders, two old rivals turned friends, leaving the world together on the country's golden anniversary.
Thomas Jefferson. The mind that wrote a nation into existence.
In all my years of watching the FIFA World Cup, I’ve never seen anything on this level. The USA is putting on the best World Cup ever. If that bothers you, a retweet would be appreciated. 😎🇺🇸
