Watched this 3 times and smiled ear to ear each time.
It’s his face at the end. Just pure joy.
$50,000 for a hole in one. Giant crowd for the member tournament. Then this happens.
Truly the dream for all us hacks.
If we go to 64 team that’s fine but how about this tweak
1st in Group - into round of 32
2nd and 3rd in group - play each other for spot in round of 32
4th in group - pack your bags
Raise the stakes in pool play; incentivize teams to play for the group win and 1 less match
In 2007, Lionel Messi held a baby for a photo shoot. That baby grew up to be Spanish soccer star Lamine Yamal!
19 years later, Lionel Messi and Lamine Yamal are set to face off in the 2026 FIFA World Cup Final between Spain and Argentina!
The fact that this guy think DANNY AINGE is some guy that got into the NBA on accident because of his looks I assume. Dude do you realize DANNY AINGE is the ONLY PERSON in Sports history to be a 1st team All American in BASKETBALL, FOOTBALL & BASEBALL??? You realize AINGE played 3 seasons for The Toronto Blue Jays?? DANNY ANIGE could’ve played QB the guy is 6’5 . They do this to attack JORDAN era Like alot of you younger guys need to do some research on the players of previous eras. You guys think guys being super athletes started in 2000. Go look up DAVE WINNFIELD @SteveKim323@ApexJonesHACKED@TheJordanTruth@haiti4eva@MoryMagisSprts@Jacobtheclipper
Landon Donovan says America is missing soccer talent because kids can’t afford to play.
“Only 2% of kids playing organized soccer in America came from households that made less than $50,000.”
“If you don’t make $50,000, your kid cannot play organized soccer.”
“Think about how many kids you’re missing out on in this country because they can’t afford to play the game.”
“There is zero chance I could have played club soccer.”
“My mom made $34,000 a year, single mom raising three kids.”
“She couldn’t pay $4,000 for me to play club. Are you kidding? She couldn’t pay $400.”
“That’s not a good system to create good players.”
I cannot believe we have got to the point where a ball lightly touching the tips of someone’s hair is being measured by a Snickometer in order to disallow a goal.
The ball’s trajectory and spin were not affected at all.
The offside law was created to stop goal-hanging - it was never intended to be an exact science.
It was never created so that one day artificial intelligence could measure toenails offside and use a snicko to check if someone’s touched a ball.
It was created to stop strikers from man-marking goalkeepers all game.
VAR was meant to be reserved for clear and obvious decisions.
We used to understand that football is better and more entertaining when goals are scored.
That meant that for offsides: in case of doubt, the benefit was given to the attacker while in-line was always onside.
Now we’re using 3D generated AI technology to check toes to the millimetre and extreme microphones to measure minuscule decibels with the aim of disallowing goals and ruining football as a spectacle.
Do they ever ask if we want these changes, do they market test any of it?
What an extra time awaited us for the #Portugal v #Croatia game, unfortunately we will never get to see it thanks to the madness that VAR has descended into.
ANYWAY!
Have a wonderful 4th everyone.
It’s our finest of the holidays.
Come back with all 10 fingers on Monday, & throw a drink into the face of anyone who whines about any commie nonsense on Saturday.

Walker Kessler goes for two 1sts and 2 swaps THIS MORNING.
Jaylen Brown, a literal MVP candidate in his prime, goes for two 1sts and two 2nds. Without a single young player coming back.
Somebody please make it make sense.
The easiest way to fix the 48-team World Cup format:
Group winners go straight to the Round of 16.
Second-placed teams play third-placed teams in a playoff round for the remaining spots.
That way, winning your group actually means something, and the format still keeps the drama.
It really isn’t that complicated.
This would be the World Cup Round of 32 bracket based on ranking teams based on points in Group Stage, goal differential, goals scored. This is how it should be done:
1 France - 32 Cape Verde
16 Portugal-17 Japan
8 England - 25 Ecuador
9 Morocco - 24 Ghana
5 Brazil - 28 South Africa
12 USA - 21 Sweden
4 Netherlands - 29 Paraguay
13 Ivory Coast - 20 Canada
—————-
3 Mexico - 30 Senegal
14 Norway - 19 Egypt
6 Spain - 27 B-H
11 Germany - 22 Austria
7 Switzerland - 26 Australia
10 Colombia - 23 DR Congo
2 Argentina - 31 Algeria
15 Croatia - 18 Belgium
Soccer purist: Even if the guy is a millimeter offsides and it goes against the spirit of the rule it absolutely must be called.
Confused fan: Interesting. So when does the game end?
Soccer purist: Whenever the ref feels like ending it.
