Amtrak blamed this on “Pantograph Damage in the Catenary,” which I’m pretty sure is an At the Drive-In album.

UPDATE: Acela Train 2230 which was stopped outside of New York (NYP) is back on the move operating about 5 hours 15 minutes late.

@richarddeitsch Belgium is solid but they aren’t THAT good. They weren’t one of the top 10 teams in R16. Don’t forget they barely made it out of the group stage after draws with Iran and Egypt. Then it was a miracle they came back to beat Senegal in R32. This was not Mexico losing to England.

@EvanRobertsWFAN I got bad news past-Evan Roberts …

Meanwhile, the Mets are Mets-ing.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

The sad thing is Belgium isn’t really that good of a team. They’re solid, but they had draws against Iran and Egypt and then blew out a lousy New Zealand in the group stage. They only beat Senegal with a miracle finish.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

I’m getting the feeling the U.S. just isn’t a very good soccer country.

I think we could probably beat Belgium at the real kind of football though. Probably by a lot.

@jasonrmcintyre Well, CONCACAF U20 tournament starts in a few weeks, so you don’t have to wait if you want to check it out yourself.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

Wow, Matt Freese, that was … bad.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

@jasonrmcintyre I told you the disciplinary committee could review the call. Just sayin’.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

What a great match. Cape Verde gave everything, too. Something you can’t say about a lot of supposedly good teams down late.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

@jasonrmcintyre Here’s an example of an appeal from the 2022 World Cup. Croatia’s Mario Mandzukic appealed being sent off for telling the ref to “fuck off” in Italian. He appealed and lost. https://t.co/BwnkcPJuLy

10 minutes!

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

@jasonrmcintyre Wow, no respect. From what I understand, it’s highly unlikely to be repealed. It’s mostly only repealed if they sent off the wrong player.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

@jasonrmcintyre Yes, they can appeal to FIFA’s Disciplinary Committee after the game.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

Absolutely ridiculous red card. It was completely an accident, he was just reaching to kick the ball. Yellow card, sure, but that would also knock out the guy who’s been the best player on the team for the next round too. #worldcup

I have no soul and even I find it sweet to see Serena’s daughter talking to her dad in the box while getting a chance to watch her mom play. #wimbledon

Saw a guy in Columbus Circle subway station at 7 a.m. wearing a Porzingis jersey.

[Mark Osborne @mosbornenyc]

Big day for RJ Barrett, Julius Randle, Kristaps Porzingis and many more departed Knicks. Never seen so many of their jerseys before.

Cape Verde beats Spain 0-0*

@Lees1507M @tarapalmeri @abimbaker I don’t get what you’re saying. There are no Americans in either one of these photos.
