The #NCAA continues to lose relevance. Like watching your favorite hat blow off while deep sea fishing and watching it slowly drift away at the mercy of the… you get the point. Hats are replaceable.

People are upset about this, but of all the recent examples the one that comes to mind is Iowas “tampering” with Cade McNamara. They admired it, self imposed punishments, they cooperated… and then the NCAA decided they had them vacate 4 wins from the 2023 season. So yes… my statement is factual

Spain are #FIFAWorldCup Champions. 🏆

IT’S TIME! 🇪🇸🇦🇷

The biggest stage is ready. Who is going to win?

Now that’s an upset - thought France could be Last One. Spain has been let easy (17.5 fouls to every caution), but penalty was legit, just don’t see intent as Yamal (seems to turn back toward play).
Tough play, but awareness and execution are more important than 2nd guessing.

Spain are one step closer to glory 🇪🇸

France, Spain, England, and Argentina favored. A Last Eight upset is possible.

Not our best to advance at this level…
but nice run for a 250th birthday!
Thank you, boys! Let’s keep improving this squad to level with Europe. ❤️⚽️.

Watched England defense hold off
Mexico for what seemed eternity with player sent off. Not sure what to make of USA defense in 1H. Passive, ball-watching, missing man-marks & hybrid block&man assignments. 1H stats close except v. our D: shots 2-11; on goal, 1-5. Let’s lock in.

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

Ørjan Nyland and Erling Haaland ⚽️.
What a match to send Norway to quarterfinal and Brazil home (2-1). The latter has too much talent to deliver today’s passive product but congrats to the Herrelandslaget. USA tomorrow with Balogun fresh off suspended red card!

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

All the world’s a stage! Portugal (2-1) & Croatia gave it all for 104’. Sorry to see one of these squads leave the Knockout. 3 disallowed goals. Congrats CR7 on your 1st WC KO net! Blessed to watch such talent at this level leave it all on the field. ❤️⚽️

FIFA Contradictions /
IFAB Law 12.4 Fouls & Misconduct: Disciplinary Action:
Balogun's foul under "Sending-off offences" as "serious foul play" likely contradicts VAR protocol. Refs overlooking fouls in the box to not 'dictate the outcome.' Let 'em play? Apparently, depends.

2-0 Full Time! Round of 16 vs Belgium.
Let’s go ❤️🤍💙⚽️ 07.06.26!

Jeff's first message to the fans 🤍🖤

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

Lions of Teranga poached!
I thought Senegal & Belgium was a close match up and Senegal loses a two goal lead 85 minutes into the match? 2026 World Cup has not disappointed and many of the teams leaving disappointed have not lacked opportunities, only finish. “Until the end!”

Kane!
ENG down 75% of game & 2 tallies in 11min. Brilliant! As for simulation at 43’, unsure how the CR made that call on field, but he/VAR were correct. Try stumbling next time; clicking heels like Dorothy w/dive is too “… exaggerates contact to unfairly deceive” for Knockout.

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

Match Day for #USMNT... Let's go!
Tech/Tactical marking w/BiH aerial attackers (6'4" Edin) don't get caught watching ball out front door while he sprints in back, like Mbappé's 2nd Tues. Speaking of, what a crossover step & release on his 1st & great finds by Dembélé - magical!

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

Paraguay 🇵🇾 lived the Juventus slogan “Fino alla fine, meaning, until the end (three quick whistle blows) “Corazón de América" knocked off favored Germany in a Shoot Out sudden death w/game stats: 25% poss; 63% passing efficiency; 1/2 the shots on net. WOW 😮

¡Hasta el final!

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

#USMNT Bravo to Weston McKennie (Forza Juve)! v. Türkiye: USA final 3rd & backline so dependent on his box2box Mid play. 6 shot assists, 2 shots (1 on) & constantly dropped to support overwhelmed backs. Only US to start all 3g, keep the arm band, you’re key to the R32! ⚽️❤️🤍💙

[John McLintock @jcmclintock]

Love Yildiz for Türkiye (Forza Juve)!
But #USMNt: marking does not mean centerbacks watching baller with no shoulder on mark. Awareness leads to execution. Well done, Türkiye; good luck USA v. B&H! Let’s go! ⚽️
