Zags. Dodgers. Bama (grad). Rarely insightful, occasionally funny, always opinionated. Open to be hit on.

Why humans talk to me is beyond me.

Crushed by computers. But it’s the right call.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

About to rip out hearts…

@wwalsh Fox is just the English-language US broadcaster. They have zero control of what is/isn’t shown.
All camera feeds & replays are direct from FIFA. All content is produced in their single production hub in Dallas and given to their broadcast rights-holders.

About 105 mins of game, a day-long pregame, and Country Roads into Freebird postgame?!?

My doctor,, lawyer &, likely insurance provider, are all equally thankful I’m not in that stadium tonight.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

Finding space like they are, with 10 men, is a huge credit to the system.

A 2010 reference, for our new friends

[Jeff @j_mac21]

GO GO USA!! Hell yeah!!!!

[Jeff @j_mac21]

@DodgersMemeTeam No need. Haha

[Jeff @j_mac21]

That play out of pressure is the difference in the last 15-20 years of US soccer.

Instead of booting it upfield, we played it out, had a player talented enough to dribble it even farther, then drew a foul.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

Run the damn ball, Poch.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

That’s a brutal call. Yellow, yes. Red, no.

Maybe, maybe get through this game, but no Balogun against Belgium is massive.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

I wouldn’t watch an entire game of it, but the Ref Cam is kinda cool.

Goals, close fouls, etc… to see what the ref “sees” is cool.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

I’m understanding on tornado warnings & updates.
But, @WBRCweather, it’s a thunderstorm watch. The non-stop crawl is A LOT.

Throw up the little corner graphic — in the bottom corner — and let’s see the whole game.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

Today’s first two games have been the most gut-wrenching losses in a while.

Brutal for two teams that both deserved better results.

I’m okay with the late game not being quite as intense at the end

[Jeff @j_mac21]

What’s that?!
The game & continental underdog scores a late goal to possibly survive another 30 mins.

A mess.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

As a debilitating empath….
Sports are fuckin’ brutal & awesome all at the same time.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

What’s that?!
A guy who recently lost his potential, unborn child scored the late goal to send his team to the next round??
I sob enough in my own damn life, I don’t need help.
But now they’re happy tears??

[Jeff @j_mac21]

Apologies to my Algerian followers.
In the rarest of occurrences, the Austrians have corrected & salvaged the situation

[Jeff @j_mac21]

How hard is it to just play it out to the whistle?! Congrats and F you to Algeria.

[Jeff @j_mac21]

I’ll be watching Egypt vs Iran tonight. Not because it’ll be good soccer — it’ll be even-ish soccer — but I’ll be watching because it’s pridefully hilarious.
