Mad respect to the Ecuador team belting out their national anthem while getting booed about to play Mexico at the freakin Azteca.

Jace bro how are you gonna choke like that

Can’t believe there’s just a Norwegian Viking soccer robot just wandering around scoring one-touch goals on US soil.

@PopBase @oliviarodrigo Wow Olivia knows ball.

But the way this is alphabetized is kind of infuriating.

I'm loving all the content of World Cup tourists enjoying America, but super worried about the aftermath, as all their digestive systems are being forced to do battle against Taco Bell and Waffle House for the first time.

Almirón got the first Mistaken Identity yellow in World Cup history and just got the first mouth-covering red in World Cup history. Dude is a trailblazer.

@stoolpresidente Spoiler alert: he doesn’t get it because he is dumb.

@CurryForGame @andre To be fair no one ever accused @Rjeff24 of being smart.

@allthesmokeprod Everyone was a problem for JR since he couldn’t play defense

[Brian Wong @bwong25]

@JonnyRoot_ @KNBR Nope. Let he who is without sin throw the first stone. Except if Roupp is throwing them he'd get rocked as badly as he did tonight.

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.

Take the Clutch Award away from De’Aaron Fox immediately.
