One of my favorite anecdotes from the build-up to this World Cup, which reveals so much about the collision between FIFA and U.S. cities.
The day a FIFA exec told Los Angeles that LA needed to be “put on the map.”

This is a total bummer. I went to San Antonio, for Game 1, ALONE, in a lightweight-Knicks-collared-shirt and was treated with absolute kindness. Really hope @NYCMayor responds appropriately.
Knicks fans are once again doing the thing…
Feels like literally every single home game we get a video like this. This one is the worst one I’ve seen yet. Good hell, man.
Again, New York fans are what people think Philly fans are. This sucks so much 🗑️
I say this as a Knicks fan, but New Yorkers jumping people on the street for wearing the opposing team's gear is insane and needs to stop. Disgusting behavior.
You may not like watching Arsenal. I may not like watching Arsenal, particularly. But it's been really striking to me how much, in public and in private, other coaches love what Mikel Arteta has built. From a coaching perspective, they're a masterpiece.

Forget 'Set Piece FC', Arsenal have won the title without '115 charges' lurking in the margins like Man City, without buying their own women's team like Chelsea, without petro-dollars behind them. That should be celebrated, writes IAN HERBERT https://t.co/z0bdODbQb3
