Fake news. This World Cup has been marked by epic matches, big stars making big plays, and travelers from around the world enjoying what North America has offer!!

[NBC News @NBCNews]

From missed calls to no-calls, travel restrictions and red cards, this World Cup was marked by controversy, on and off the pitch https://t.co/FYTsyzvMjb

Surely we won’t be outbid……

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

Belgium has been granted the right to appeal against FIFA’s decision to suspend the one-game ban handed to Folarin Balogun, less than 24 hours out from the team’s round of 16 game against the United States.

Sources have now told The Athletic the Belgian federation has formally written to FIFA to appeal the matter, and the right to appeal has been granted.

Both U.S. Soccer and the Belgian federation were asked to make submissions by 5am PST on Monday morning, which has exasperated the Belgians who have not received the decision by FIFA to review, as it is not made public.

A member of the FIFA appeals committee – who does not represent a federation in either UEFA or CONCACAF, so as to avoid any potential conflict of interest – has been selected to hear the case.

Good morning to everyone, and have a wonderful day, everyone except Raphael Claus, Juan Soto, Nicolas Gallo, and Jerome Brisard. Those guys can kick rocks!!!

[Alan Armstrong @alanmarmstrong]

The @CFBPlayoff committee would love the game control by the @USMNT

[Alan Armstrong @alanmarmstrong]

I don’t know what’s more impressive on the World Cup stage so far, the play of the USMNT or the incredible response by foreign fans to the greatness of capitalism!

Yesterday, I had lunch at Rana’s and dinner at Gringo’s, had 3 different types of salsa provided between the 2…I love this about our country!

[NOBUNAGA🇯🇵🏯_夏樹蒼依 @japan_nobunaga]

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving.

Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free.

I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these."

"They just come with the table, man."

They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner.

This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat.

I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared.

"Did we…?"

"Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless."

Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined.

My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude."

Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man.

I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy.

Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived.

I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most.

Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

If only one could 3D print birdies…

[Alan Armstrong @alanmarmstrong]

@flushingitgolf @TheMasters I love Scottie, but that’s a fair question, 61 was out there - hit the lips at 3 and 14 and didn’t birdie 13 or 15 from the fairway…17 putt was VERY makeable too

On behalf of the rest of the Alan Armstrongs of the world, congrats, and please do a good job!

[Sen. James Lankford @SenatorLankford]

Congratulations to my friend Alan Armstrong on his appointment to serve our state in the United States Senate. I am grateful he and his family are willing to sacrifice their time to serve. Markwayne leaves large boots to fill, but with Alan’s strong background in energy and an understanding of what powers our economy, he brings real-world experience at a critical time for the American economy. I look forward to working with him to support Oklahoma workers, strengthen our energy independence, and keep costs low for families.

RIP Walker, Texas Ranger.

So basically a real life Point Break, huh?!

[CBS News @CBSNews]

Former Olympic snowboarder Ryan Wedding, an alleged drug kingpin who's been accused of orchestrating multiple murders, has been arrested, Justice Department officials announced Friday.

Wedding, a 44-year-old Canadian national, was taken into custody in Mexico on Thursday night, according to FBI Director Kash Patel.

"Just to tell you how bad of a guy Ryan Wedding is, he went from Olympic snowboarder to the largest narco-trafficker in modern times," Patel said. "He is a modern-day El Chapo. He is a modern-day Pablo Escobar."

Wedding was added to the FBI's Ten Most Wanted Fugitives list last year.
