Watching the USMNT backups get 93% of the way to scoring a goal and then rapidly fucking up really bringing me back to every USMNT match I’ve ever watched before the past two weeks.

The World Cup has been great so far, and FIFA is selling a lot of tickets. The cynicism about a 48-team format wasn't really warranted.
However, it does create some awkwardness, with group-stage games being low-stakes and a weird bracket. The solution? Expand to 64.

DR CONGO WILL BE WITHOUT THEIR STATUE SUPER FAN AGAINST PORTUGAL 📷

Michel Kuka Mboladinga, who goes by the nickname Lumumba Vea, went viral during this year's AFCON tournament for posing like the country's statue of its first prime minister for the entirety of the games. Standing motionless for the entirety of the match, Mboladinga believes, "gives the team emotional stamina."

While the team is without its biggest fan today, players persuaded Congo President Félix Tshisekedi to include Lumumba Vea in the official delegation, and he expects to be at next week's match in Atlanta against Uzbekistan, according to The Wall Street Journal.

Jürgen Klinsmann: “Había 70.000 personas, nosotros estábamos calentando seriamente. Mientras sonaba “Live Is Life”, Maradona empezó a hacer malabares con el balón. Dejamos de calentar, porque no había nada más que pudiéramos hacer aparte de mirarlo”. ¡AURA!

Every game feels like a letdown after watching Pochettino’s yanks play liquid football tbh

[Landon Donovan @landondonovan]

From start to finish, that was the most enjoyable day of soccer I’ve ever experienced. Thank you to the @USMNT for inspiring a nation and creating memories that will last a lifetime. And thank you to all the fans who showed up today…absolutely incredible. So grateful to have been there and can’t wait for next Friday 🇺🇸❤️⚽️🇺🇸❤️⚽️🇺🇸❤️⚽️

When you turn on the World Cup game and they stop play for a “hydration break.”

Pochettino es el único que tiene la extraña capacidad de mimetizarse con la apariencia promedio de un tipo del país en el que está en ese momento.

En Argentina/ España/ Inglaterra/ Estados Unidos.

[Juan Manuel D'Angelo @futboltrotters]

Vivir en USA te chupa todo rasgo identitario y te transforma en un yankee promedio. Pochettino hoy parece el viejo quarterback estrella de la prepa de Jasper, Arkansas. Tenía futuro de NFL pero se jodió la espalda y ahora es dueño de un bar en donde toca con su banda country.

@SoundDobad I know this may sound petty, but I can’t stand it when people put photoshop a meth pipe in my mouth. A crack pipe doesn’t have that little bowl at the end. This is why we can’t trust AI. Please make the appropriate edit. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
