Thierry and Zlatan saying they wouldn't have become soccer players because of the costs of the American youth system, then seeing Lalas say it's a great system because it makes a lot of money for some people really sums it all up nicely
Goes to one Knicks game and they lose for the literal first time in 2 months. Calls the head of FIFA to make him overturn a red card and then the US loses in one of the worst matches of the tournament. No one does it like him, it’s actually amazing
Funny how some teams get asked about football… and others get asked to explain the world.
Shoutout to the Iran team for carrying that weight.

@TransferChecker I don’t mind the brief instructions. Coaches find ways to do it anyways throughout a game (during injuries, stoppages, etc).
However, it absolutely should be limited to a strict 60 seconds. No player truly needs 2-3 minutes to refresh in the heat. A ruthless money grab..
IRAN EQUALIZE AGAINST NEW ZEALAND
Ramin Rezaeian’s equalizer for Iran prompted incredible noise in Los Angeles, which is home to the world’s largest Iranian population outside of the country 🗣️
📺 Telemundo TV commentator: "We are one of the only networks in the world to NOT show ads during the World Cup cooling breaks."
"We prefer the old school way. We should be able to see what the players do. We show fans, people enjoying, not the corporate direction of football."
