I would like everyone to know that I’ve been crying the last two hours while watching YouTube videos of Grooms reacting to their Brides. That is some pure love stuff. I appreciate how wholesome that experience must be. 😭

He said the the reigning World Cup champions' ability to overturn late-game deficits is the result of championship pedigree and nothing more 🏆

Thierry Henry on Argentina :
"Argentina are still unbeaten, yet every win comes with the same tired excuse: 'It's rigged.' Nobody wants to give them credit because that would mean accepting what has become obvious. Since Cristiano Ronaldo couldn't win the World Cup, some fans have turned every Argentina victory into a conspiracy instead of appreciating the football. That's not analysis, it's denial."
"Lionel Messi doesn't need anyone's validation anymore. If your first reaction to every Argentina win is 'rigged,' maybe it's because you've run out of football arguments. For me, the GOAT debate is over. It's Messi."
Messi willed his team to score 3 goals in 13 minutes after being down 2-0 to Egypt for 79 mins of the match.
WHAT. A. COMEBACK.
The Greatest of All Time 🐐
If you are a US Citizen and you aren’t rooting for USA against Belgium, you are a traitor. No other way to put it. You can’t be trusted if you are rooting against your own country in the World Cup.
FIFA got it right by suspending Folarin Balogun’s Red Card under Article 27.
Belgium’s protesting the decision isn’t about the integrity of the game. It’s about getting an advantage over the USA.
If it was about the integrity of the game, they would be championing Balogun having his Red card suspended because it was improper use of the VAR system and not a Red card offense.
Where were the appeals when Cristiano Ronaldo got his 3 game red card ban suspended and reduced to a 1 game ban on a friendly so he could play this entire World Cup?
DR Congo and Uzbekistan didn’t protest Cristiano Ronaldo eligibility to play.
They played Portugal at full strength.
If Belgium doesn’t want to play now because FIFA made the right call and the USA has Folarin Balogun back in the lineup, then THAT’S WEAK.
They don’t deserve to win.
Put the ball down and play.
Don’t pick up your ball and go home.
Happy 250th birthday to the GREATEST country in the world. 🇺🇸
We won’t always agree on politics nor see the world the same way.
But today is about celebrating the country that gives us the freedom to disagree.
Major respect to the founding fathers. 🫡
Future looks bright!
#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:
“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”
On shaking ref’s hand postgame:
“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”
