@TrkTurner @PettyLupone Here's the thing - we have absolute freedom of speech here - and if it weren't really like this or things here sucked, we'd say so.
I've been to the UK - I understand where these people are coming from because there's truth to it.

@watarufunaki I found this intersection on Google Maps. The other vehicle is 100% at fault as 1.) not only did they not come to a complete stop at a stop sign, but 2.) the intersection was marked as left turn only as the autonomous vehicle was on a one way street.

@tuttle2024 @skywaker9 FIFA is administering this tournament. Unlike previous tournaments, there is not a local or national organizing committee. Blame FIFA for their decisions. They are just renting our stadiums for the summer.

@NeilHowarth_ There have literally been three other nations hosting World Cup matches with hydration breaks before the USA ever hosted one.

[maclid @maclid]

@NedSmith940069 @andreperrotta13 To be frank, the "US" is not administering the tournament. FIFA is running the tournament, there is not a local or national organizing committee running this tournament as in years past. Any decision about the tournament is FIFA, not the US.

@IFootcric68275 @lolasorcery @anaa_luah @Elias_Lobo_210 @MaryanneY213 @hombrejingle @america No need to be insulting, Spanish speakers absolutely do differentiate singular and plural - their language change their verbs entirely based on that concept. Culturally, the Latin "América" translates to "the Americas", not "America" which colloquial English is understood as US .

@lolasorcery @IFootcric68275 @anaa_luah @Elias_Lobo_210 @MaryanneY213 @hombrejingle @america In English (the language you have chosen to respond in here), we call the combined North America and South America landmass as "the Americas" (plural). We use the singular "America" as a demonyn of the United States.

@NeilMac555 @Davey12121212 Only Groups B, C, H, I, and L are on the East Coast, and B has a host team, so they won't play mornings. After today, there's like 2 full days without any games in these groups. By region-locking group play, they've limited scheduling abilities.

[maclid @maclid]

@NUFCgallowgate @richard1999jon1 1994 also didn't lock specific groups and teams into a geographic region, so they could schedule games throughout around the East. In this Cup, only Groups B, C, H, I, and L - and B has a host team, so they won't kickoff in the mornings.

[maclid @maclid]

@NUFCgallowgate This World Cup limited groups to certain geographical areas, so only groups B, C, H, I and L can give you a "European afternoon" time. Group B has a host team, so they won't be in the mornings. After today, there's not another game on the East Coast for 2 full days.

@walrus900 @WorldCup26HQ LA didn't build this for the World Cup. This annually hosts 17 NFL games, 2 of the largest music festivals in the country, NCAA events, etc. This is the best event facility in the world right now.

[maclid @maclid]

@_sol_omon SoFi is really the best stadium in the world. But I contest your second statement - in terms of crowd size, tonight's contest will be in the Top Ten of that stadium's crowds this season.

@Prominent_Bryan The USA reaches the Round of 16 MOST World Cups.

@Shibsankarrrrr @TrollFootball USA is the melting pot of the world. We are the global human culture. We invented in documented checks and balances fundamental human rights. Everyone secretly cheers for the USA.

[maclid @maclid]

@god_father312 FYI, we also don't call ourselves "the States".

[maclid @maclid]

@ConnCFC I think the fundamental reason is that college football filled the gap in America that the local FC team teams fill in Europe in satisfying regional pride, generational loyalty, and the sense that the team represents the very fabric of the local community.

@Gideoomatic @mxdric 250 years ago this July, we engaged and defeated the #1 empire in the world...

@GaryParrishCBS I would probably say more like Duke playing Boston College.

@gregowen441 @WeAreMU75 @MarshalluPres G5 schools generally lose money going to bowl games. Also, Marshall has a huge revenue advantage over Arkansas State athletics. https://t.co/7vvKqgSLDG
