@AdamCrafton_ Aha but Prince William who actually knows ball is on the phone with Infantino making sure he *doesn’t* overturn Jarell Quansah’s red….

@hissingchoir @sassykathy666 I didn’t ever even really hear afrobeat until my mid 30’s and I’ve still not recovered a decade later.

@Ifeanyi_silvers @FabrizioRomano @MelissaMOrtiz Can I imagine an Argentine player playing in the match immediately following cleating someone’s calf? As a matter of fact I can!

It’s cool, she’s also gonna let Trav throw a block on a toss sweep for all his fans, too

There are sports I don’t watch. I have never felt an urge to get on social media and explain why I don’t watch those sports and try to convince others not to watch.

[trash jones @jzux]

phones should have a “please disturb” setting that sends an alert to all my friends that I want attention

[Justin Elliott @jdanelliott]

@JeremiahDJohns Yeah, I think Landon is quite good. Dempsey is ~fine~ generally but I don’t particularly care for the “us” and “we” that he routinely drops. Undermines analysis.

[Justin Elliott @jdanelliott]

@AdamCrafton_ I dunno, that Home Depot one really stands out to me just for the genuinely hilarious green screen work. Like “I’ll take your money to personally endorse your hardware store or whatever, but I will ~not~ be stepping foot in it.”

@DiffKnock Just wait til you see the rest of Germany’s pens!

[Justin Elliott @jdanelliott]

@jamesbenge Now now that’s not ~all~ you’re doing. You’re also doing “looking like a twat”!

[Justin Elliott @jdanelliott]

Exactly. The offside rule is administered with a procedural officiousness across the wrong axis. VAR for offsides should be time-limited. If the VAR official can’t determine a definitive infraction in, say, 15 seconds, then how “unfair” could the attacker’s advantage have been?

[Cousin Sal @TheCousinSal]

Soccer purist: Even if the guy is a millimeter offsides and it goes against the spirit of the rule it absolutely must be called.

Confused fan: Interesting. So when does the game end?

Soccer purist: Whenever the ref feels like ending it.

[Justin Elliott @jdanelliott]

@xenocryptsite @Kaisa25Gaming Ted Lasso is probably the most gruesome example of this and honestly I think they gave up on the original (sustainable) premise after the first season.

[Paddy Power @paddypower]

England fans. Delete ALL your tweets about Arsenal’s set pieces in case anyone sees them.

[Acyn @Acyn]

Talarico: I believe anyone can be a Texan. It doesn’t matter if you’re an eighth-generation Texan like me or a California transplant like Ken Paxton.

Listen, what makes a Texan is not in the boots or in the truck. It’s deep in the heart.

These billionaires and their puppets have the wrong state of mind. Their hearts and their dreams are just not big enough.
