I didn’t used to think advertising worked on me, but the World Cup has made me want to buy some crude oil from Saudi Aramco

People may dislike @AlexiLalas, but he’s doing more for domestic Spanish language fluency than anyone in American history.

Of course nothing will ever top the Anfield experience for a Liverpool fan….. but Raymond Jones Stadium in Tampa might just be the greatest stadium I’ve been to…an old fashioned, imposing cathedral of sport, complete with pirate ship!

@KnifeyLionRadio Yes the defender got the ball; he also made contact with the player on the thigh/upper leg before he made contact with the ball.

@WarPigsChief This. With very few exceptions MLS academies are aggregators and don’t develop youth talent into professional players.

In 1989, the Soviet Union had a trade deal with Pepsi. Because the ruble had no international value at the time, the USSR paid Pepsi in warships, including 17 subs, briefly making Pepsi the world's 6th largest navy.

Did the USMNT get a win against two elite teams right before the World Cup? No.

Did we at least learn some valuable lessons to take into the summer? Also no.

But did we at least have fun while watching our favorite team play soccer? No.

“We can’t replace Evander, but Dado has had an excellent preseason,” Noonan said. “So I think the confidence of the group (was high) knowing that our depth was going to be able to step in and continue to perform.”

“Solid performance from him.”

It doesn't take a mathematician to figure out "10 + 5 = honeytrap." Report suspicious behavior.

@SGolazok Went to this one - great game but a shame only 5,200 fans with stadium capacity 25,500. Ticket prices a real challenge along with severe weather which interrupted the match for 90 minutes. FIFA charging WAY too much for these games.

@FCRBS_en local resident from Ohio - took my family to the game and we all loved it. Sincerely, four new fans from the USA!

@xJonNYC In my experience passport control at MXP can take quite a while (traveling on U.S. passport). Security is pretty efficient and didn’t take long at all

[FrankDrebbin84 @JohnMarkC84]

@JIreland80 yes

@tgreathouse10 They aren't Brazil or Argentina but Türkiye and Switzerland are actually good teams. We, on the other hand, are not a good team. We don't even look mediocre here. Like a college team against professionals.

[FrankDrebbin84 @JohnMarkC84]

@HAHiguita @benwright Much lower threshold for excessive force when not challenging for the ball.

[FrankDrebbin84 @JohnMarkC84]

@five_takes @Denzell_Of_NSH @PROreferees contact that is unnecessary has a much lower threshold to be excessive force than if he was involved in play in some way.

[FrankDrebbin84 @JohnMarkC84]

@craigaroo @JoserNunez91 The appropriate criteria for a red card here is excessive force. Force is considered excessive when it is disproportionate to what is needed for the play. It is a much lower threshold when away from the ball and not challenging.
