The game of the year, without a doubt, and one of the greatest regular-season games ever.

The Chicago White Sox held a lead within every inning from the third inning through the 12th on Thursday night -- 10 straight innings of leads. And lost in the 13th.

What a win for the Red Sox.

Spain the second they stopped calling up Real Madrid players...

🚨 Madrid fans spent the entire tournament hate-watching Argentina and Spain just for them to be the finalists. 😂

Spain's number 19 will play his first world cup final at 19 on the 19th. 😶

[محمد @10reoi]

رفض تدريب مدريد ورفض كل مغرياتهم من صلاحيات ورواتب وصفقات
رفض كل المغريات من جميع الانديه

وقرر تدريب المانيا " بعد خروجهم من المونديال مباشره" اضف الى ذلك ان المانيا وصلت مرحله كارثيه وغايبه عن المونديال والبطولات الكبرى لها 16 سنه

لذلك نعيد ونكرر يورغن اكثر مدرب بالتاريخ يعشق التحديات والصعوبات
اكثر مدرب يحب يصنع المجد من اللاشيء ومن الصفر .. هذا اللي يميز كلوب عن اي مدرب آخر ❤️🇩🇪

Ok so... England vs Mexico. Best case scenario for an Irish-American: 22 red cards. 🤪

My dearest Abigail,

The Free Balogun campaign has succeeded.

After many hard marches through red tape, federation fog, and the cold stone walls of FIFA jail, young Balogun is at last liberated and marches under our colors.

The lads now ride for the Round of 16. One more victory, and they shall breach the quarterfinal frontier, a land our nation’s men have never conquered.

Tonight we feast on victory, orange slices, and dangerous levels of belief.

Yours in liberty,
Capt. Ream 🇺🇸⚽️

#USMNT striker Folarin Balogun on his immediate reaction to red card:

“I think it was just important to stay calm. I never want to react out of anger and out of emotion. There’s still lots of people we’re inspiring, little kids, boys and girls who are watching, and we have to show them the correct way to handle things, even when you think it's unjust.”

On shaking ref’s hand postgame:

“As said, you can feel like something, injustice can happen to you. It’s not an excuse to be disrespectful… I'm aware that the World Cup might be the first time a lot of American viewers are tuning in. So it's important just to show people, whether things happen to you, good or bad, just to continue to be yourself.”

Folarin Balogun breaks his silence after his controversial red card against Bosnia:

🗣️ “I've replayed that moment in my head countless times, and it still hurts. I know what my intentions were, and hurting an opponent was never one of them. To have my World Cup stained by a decision like this is heartbreaking.”

“This wasn't just a red card it felt like my voice was taken away. The referee made his decision in seconds, but VAR had every angle, every replay and every opportunity to see the truth. Instead of correcting the mistake, they made it even worse.”

“I've watched football my entire life. I've seen identical challenges waved away, yellow cards given, play allowed to continue. So why was I made the example? Why is the standard different when it's my name on the screen? That's the question nobody wants to answer.”

“What hurts me the most isn't even myself. It's looking into the eyes of my teammates after the match. It's seeing the disappointment on the faces of the fans who travelled thousands of miles to support us. One decision changed everything we had worked for.”

“VAR was introduced to protect football from obvious errors, but tonight it protected the error instead. If technology with multiple cameras, slow motion and endless replays still gets moments like this wrong, then people have every right to question what it's really there for.”

“I respect referees because their job is difficult. But respect has to go both ways. Players deserve consistency, honesty and fairness. Tonight, I don't believe we got any of those. The referee and VAR didn't just send me off they took away a moment that every footballer dreams about, and that's something I'll never forget.”

Hey @realDonaldTrump what are we doing about this ridiculous red card from an obviously anti-American ref? You need to get this overturned! #fifa #worldcup #usmnt

"Proposals to eliminate federal support for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting — an entity that costs just $1.60 per citizen, per year to operate — ignore the extraordinary return on that investment" says @KenBurns. Maybe the #DNC should spend less time spamming everyone with fundraising text messages and more time explaining the concept of ROI to Floridians. https://t.co/Qb6zoP6Qx6

These #trumpflation egg prices are out of control. J/k this is in Mexico where it’s equal to 6 bucks for 3 dozen. Wait, that’s even worse come to think of it.
