Genuinely probably the most hospitable set of fans I’ve ever come across, riot police took us out of the ground only to be met by Mexicans wanting to high 5, shake hands and congratulate us/wish us well for the quarters
Not sure how they have that in them I’d have been gutted
You can go to live in France, but you cannot become a Frenchman. You can go to live in Germany or Turkey or Japan, but you cannot become a German, a Turk, or a Japanese. But anyone, from any corner of the Earth, can come to live in America and become an American.
Gaspar Yanga was a liberator and one of Mexico’s heroes, enslaved from West Africa. He fought for the abolition of slavery in Mexico. He was known as “America’s First Liberator” or “El Primer Libertador de las Americas.”
The town of Yanga, Mexico is named after him.

I don’t care about the altitude
I don’t care that Mexico will have 80k fans at their home ground
I don’t care about the hot conditions.
We are England, we should not be fearing a team whose best player is a striker for Wolverhampton wanders in the championship…. #england
The analysis here is just a bit off. Tillman does something I have never actually witnessed: Tillman delivered a top-spin-only ball from a free kick.
You see this spin on volleys sometimes. I have never seen it in a free kick.
You see knuckle balls on free kicks all the time. Ronaldo does them quite well. This was not that.
This is basically a Dwight Gooden curve ball. Over the top. 12 to 6.
Messi places side+top spinners in the corner. But I haven’t seen him pull off a top-spin only.
Like I said. I have never witnessed this from a dead ball.
USA has its best chance to win a World Cup and a bogus Red Card is given to our best player to keep him out of the next game in the Round of 16? THEY DON’T WANT TO SEE US WIN AND HAVE TO CALL IT SOCCER
