Two football fans are being paid $50,000 each to watch all 104 #WorldCup games from a specially built cube in Times Square, New York. Austin Franklin & Kevin Akoto were picked from 6,000+ who applied. Fans are sitting outside the cube watching them watch the football...
Just remove all matches to Canada and Mexico as this is just a tragedy at this point. The World Cup is supposed to be one of the most exciting sporting events and it's just embarrassing having the US as a host nation under this current pathetic political administration.
What has happened at the #2026WorldCup over the last 48 hours:
• Swiss footballer Embolo's visa was put under review and he was only able to join his team days later.
• Iraqi national team player Aymen Hussein was held for questioning for nearly 7 hours upon entering the United States.
• The Iranian national team spent days dealing with visa procedures at the U.S. Consulate in Türkiye. The U.S. only allowed them entry on match days. Fifteen members of the delegation were denied visas.
• Omar Abdulkadir Artan, named CAF's Best African Referee of 2025, was denied a visa. Despite travelling to the U.S. with a diplomatic passport, he was refused entry and sent back. FIFA announced that he will not be able to officiate at the tournament.
• The South African national team arrived in the United States much later than planned because part of the delegation was not granted visas.
• Members of the Senegal national team staff were forced to remove their shoes and subjected to lengthy searches, sparking accusations of racism.
• The Uzbekistan national team was searched with bomb-sniffing dogs and the footage went viral in international media.
• Some Scottish supporters, despite being eligible to enter the U.S. visa-free under the ESTA programme, had their travel authorisations revoked just days before departure.
• Many supporters who had already bought tickets and booked accommodation had their visa applications rejected, resulting in financial losses.
The decibels of booing they are going to have inside that arena tomorrow are going to be earthquake levels - the Richter scale reading is going to be unreal tomorrow at MSG.....
The Knicks have reportedly canceled all Game 3 watch parties outside MSG due to President Donald Trump's attendance.
A hard closure is expected around Madison Square Garden, with no watch parties, vehicle access or pedestrian traffic permitted in the secured area, according to CBS News.
@CoededMarshall Not going to hold you but "Subject" and "The Love Experience" get continual rotation for me.
I play singles from Legend and NeYo but Dwele and Raheem are press play and let spin.
@bomani_jones Jameis at the mic is always a special moment and this was no different - learn history and learn from each other when given the chance......
SN: is it just me or does Jameis sound like Dolla Bill (Bernie Mac) when he was talking?
The Confederate States of America during the Civil War were:
Alabama
Arkansas
Florida
Georgia
Louisiana
Mississippi
North Carolina
South Carolina
Tennessee
Texas
Virginia
Look at what these states are doing now.
Stop calling them #MAGA. Call them what they are…. CONFEDERATES!
Talarico is gaining ground because he is doing what Mamdani did: putting his issues and beliefs at the forefront. I dont even like him and I know he supports:
- raising the federal min wage to $15 per hour
- eliminating the tax cap on the rich for Social Security
- removing tax breaks for billionaires so they dont have to pay taxes
- passing the PRO Act to protect the right to unionize
- lowering CHILDCARE costs
