Greg Sankey is gonna be so furious when he finds out that a tiny archipelagic country with a terrible strength of schedule advanced in a major tournament thanks to a bunch of TIES, when that spot could have potentially gone to a bigger program, like Italy, or maybe Texas A&M.
Egypt v Iran is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries sit on one of the world’s major oil-shipping chokepoints.
Egypt has the Suez Canal, and Iran faces the Strait of Hormuz.
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

When President Trump illegally demolished the White House’s East Wing, he dumped the resulting 35,000 cubic yards of toxic debris on the East Potomac National Park. The administration knew it was dangerous to our people and our environment, but did it anyway. Now, we’re demanding they clean up their mess. https://t.co/7ERKtHueXr
This week someone targeted my family for harm with a false report. We’re physically OK, but that doesn’t mean we weren’t harmed. I am beyond furious.
Whatever your politics, this is awful, wrong, and can never become normal. https://t.co/72wxaVLzVT
This is an insane story. CPS said that Buttigieg couldn't be alone with his kids, and conducted a "forensic interview" with his four-year-olds, solely because of an anonymous caller's claim that someone else had told them Buttigieg told him many years ago that he had committed crimes. Abysmally bad judgment by the cops and CPS.
Fun drama I was not aware of:
Apparently there are a lot of fantasy authors who despise George RR Martin - because he abandoned the Game of Thrones series, left it unfinished, and now readers largely won't start new fantasy series bc they don't trust the author to finish it.
This MAGA livestreamer's arrest yesterday at the fair was becoming a real cause celebre on the right. Turns out he was cranking it to the performers! https://t.co/mJ0lOPiR9h
