🚨🤯 This happened today in the match between Mineros and Correcaminos in Liga de Expansión.
The players REFUSED TO PLAY during the opening minute of their game in PROTEST against the elimination of promotion/relegation in Mexico.
Bring PRO/REL back. ✊🏼
So after all the pre-tournament criticism, angst, and fearmongering (much done with anticipatory glee), the 2026 World Cup was a historic success. Incredible games, record crowds/viewers, and a cultural phenomenon. People were safe, entertained, and joyous. Visitors discovered, and Americans were reminded, just how wonderful our country is, all through the lens of soccer. I’m so happy for, and proud of, my country. Best World Cup ever. Thank you, America. 🇺🇸
The World Cup is over. Spain won it 1–0.
We compared every match of WC 2026 (104 games) with every match of Qatar 2022 in the PlaymakerAI database.
Four things changed. One of them stole 178 minutes of football from you.
A thread. 🧵
3 - 🇦🇷 Lionel Messi is the set to become just the second player ever to appear in three @FIFAWorldCup finals (2014, 2022 and 2026), along with 🇧🇷 Brazil’s Cafu (1994, 1998, 2002).
Historic.
Slavko Vincic, Slovenian who will referee the World Cup final, was arrested in Bosnia six years ago in one cottage where sex orgies were organized with the starlet Tijana Ajfon.
Cocaine, guns, and 20000 euros were also found. Vincic said to the police that he came only to lunch.
🚨 BREAKING! 😳
Donald Trump: “England has a great player, who I played golf with, he is Harry Kane. I think maybe THEY MADE A MISTAKE WHEN THEY PUT HIM TO DEFEND. But what do I know about soccer.” 🏴🇺🇸

🚨Cucurella on Trump lifting the Club World Cup trophy with Chelsea:
"We'd been told that he would come with the trophy and that it couldn't be lifted until he left. So we were all waiting him to leave, but he just wouldn't go and he said us, 'Lift it up, I'm staying here.' And who was going to say him anything? I was sh*tting myself"
You can’t convince me life is just a series of coincidences. What do you mean Lionel Messi was randomly paired with a five-month-old baby after the baby’s family won a UNICEF raffle for a charity photoshoot while Messi played for Barcelona… and that baby grew up to be Lamine Yamal?
Lamine would go on to become one of the brightest young stars in soccer, wear the same No. 19 Messi wore for the same team when that photo was taken, and now, nearly two decades later, could face Messi in a World Cup Final???????
Surrealista.

Phiagate, explained in horse terms
You go from HorseReviews dotcom over to ClydesdalesDirect dotcom. You have Phia installed as an extension. You buy a stunning Clydesdale from the website using its online shopping features, knowing that this particular horse breed — large and powerful, with an arched neck, high withers, and a sloped shoulder — is perfect for your use case after HorseReviews educated you on all this.
You don't notice anything, but Phia was part of the transaction. It inserted an attribution code into the transaction process without you knowing, allowing it to collect the commission ClydesdalesDirect pays out to businesses that refer customers to them and effectively stealing that commission from HorseReviews dotcom, which actually referred you.
HorseReviews dotcom likely paid Google to advertise its site so that ultimately they could collect this commission. Phia did nothing but replace HorseReviews' affiliate code with its own.
That's basically what the Bloomberg story alleges.
Christian Pulisic has been dubbed "Captain America" for years.
But now, after a USMNT flameout in the World Cup, and a mostly absent Pulisic, it's open season on the "LeBron James of soccer," who has become a scapegoat for fans, media, and multiple former U.S. soccer stars.
