@spelunky_ Top 3 moments of that weekend. That was one, 2 was Gritty chasing NJ around after stealing his clothes, and 3 was sharing the VIP package with my whole family.
The 2026 FIFA World Cup was the largest sporting event in the history of the world, shattering previous attendance record by double digits. America- we got it done, ZERO major security incidents across our nation while we hosted the equivalent of 78 super bowls in 38 days, along with 40 base camps, endless fan zones, and celebrations in nearly every state.
President Trump promised his administration would deliver the most safe, secure, and fun environment for FIFA. He started by establishing the White
House FIFA Task Force some 16 months ago, and we got right to work.
This FBI led the charge dedicating nearly 5,000 personnel to the effort out of HQ, field, and international offices - across 16 host cities. And, none of what we accomplished is possible without our federal, state and local partners who all put in the same relentless effort. It’s the largest resource dedication the FBI has EVER made for a any event.
This FBI stood up a Joint Ops Center, International Police Coordination Center, Intelligence Coordination Center, and more - all from scratch- to collect and share intel in live time.
We established the first ever counter-UAS drone school, training members of law enforcement from across the country for the World Cup- we seized over 700 drones near FIFA airspace.
Whether it was UFC 250, SAIL 250, State Fair 250 or so many other events happening simultaneously- we DELIVERED the safest and most secure World Cup in history.
President Trump's leadership set the course, he led the way, and this FBI and our partners rose to the challenge- thanks to all our partners, @FIFA@DHSgov@WHTaskForceFIFA and their Director Andrew Giuliani.
@SayItIsSoJoe Could the jersey be from the Gladiators who played at the old Coliseum in Cherry Hill NJ in the early 70s. The club teams wore LA Kings colors.
@Garrett_NJD30@TheBrattPack63@spelunky_@regulahbread Matty Loughlin..."And Jack Hughes goes full speed for the shot and crashes into the end boards.....He is up. Those new titanium shoulder joints with the Bilstein adjustable shocks work great."
Chico...."Yea Matty, I just put them on my wife's car."
@PaulDMauro@TheFive The analogy of the left being in a cul-de-sac and can't get out was perfect. Used to love being a pursuit and the bad guy drove into a cul-de-sac or dead end street.
@annikadevils Best time of your life. Growing up I followed the Rangers, went to Habs hockey school, Devils came into existence when I played. You can be a fan of different teams at different times. Just went to HHOF and realized how much I appreciate the game and the great players I've seen.
@annikadevils Solid hockey trade. Going to miss seeing Crookshanks game develop. Saw him play at UNH while my middle son was there. He was noticeable every shift with his tenacity.
@annikadevils On the money. Watching on SN across the falls.
I get the "celebrity" thing, but no GMs, Coaches, team members, owners, etc.
Looks too staged, no flair....
