“Tiene cara de prófugo del barrio de Talpita allá en Guadalajara” -@RafaeIRamosV

Me my whole life. Specially when trying to explain that the most hated team in Mexican soccer is team America.

[Román @romancf1]

Esta anecdota le va gustar a @RafaeIRamosV. Como contestaron los jefes de la industria de deportes de Los Angeles cuando la FIFA pidio que cubrieran todos los gastos del evento mientras la FIFA se quedaba con todo el dinero.

[Adam Crafton @AdamCrafton_]

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.”

be the Arizona Wildcats. Only one championship with lots of hype every tournament and multiple round of 16 losses despite having excellent teams on paper. They haven’t made a semi-final (final four 🙄) since their 2010 championship.

Noooo, Brazil cannot be Duke. In the American continent (except for Argentina) it’s a non-spoken rule that once your team loses, the jersey underneath your National jersey is the Brazilian one. No Brazilian player gives villain vibes like Duke. They’re Villanova. Spain has to

For all my American Basketball Fans…

I give you college basketball team comparisons for ALL 48 TEAMS at the World Cup ⚽️🏀

Buen articulo con dos excepciones: 1) Les falto el Bidon del Branco de 1990 y 2) el cabezaso mas famoso es el de Jose de Jesus Corona el preparador fisico de Monarcas Morelia.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

From @TheAthleticFC: Expect something absolutely nuts to happen during the World Cup.

Headbutts, spitting, diving, biting, crying, cheating, thieving... It’s all happened at some point in the past 96 years. We ranked the World Cup’s maddest moments: https://t.co/xIe1NsIoWN

@badasskachii And this man always turns up as the worlds best keeper every World Cup it seems 🤣

Visa issues first costing the city of Tucson the pro-Mexican baseball team Mayos de Navojoa and now the Iranian national team for the FIFA World Cup. Both were supposed to use Kino Sports Complex at their home stadium. Big losses for local economy.

[Ben Jacobs @JacobsBen]

🚨 FIFA confirm Iran have moved their World Cup training base to Mexico.

Iran were set to be in Tucson, Arizona, but will now be based at Centro Xoloitzcuintle in Tijuana.🇮🇷

For the first time since 2002 I had to use the yahoo search engine to avoid Google’s AI slop. Talk about a blast to the past.

¡RECUERDO DESBLOQUEADO! ⚽

Momento de recordar cuando Efraín Juárez le marcó de penal a Keylor Navas en la Copa Oro del 2009 🇨🇷🇲🇽

Hoy los une el destino en busca de la gloria... ¿lograrán conseguirlo juntos? 🔥

Eli Lilly about to become the wealthiest company in human history for the next century

[Avi Roy @agingroy]

Eli Lilly just released Phase 3 data for retatrutide, their next-generation obesity drug. 2,339 patients. 80 weeks. The biggest trial in the field.

8 things worth knowing:
1️⃣ It beats every obesity drug on the market. Wegovy (semaglutide): 15% Zepbound (tirzepatide): 22% Retatrutide: 25%

2️⃣ You don’t need the highest dose. The lowest (4mg) already outperforms Wegovy. 18% weight loss with one dose increase. Fewer people quit than on the sugar pill.

3️⃣ At two years, weight was still dropping. No plateau. Patients with BMI over 35 lost 84 pounds. 30% of their body weight.

4️⃣ Some patients stopped taking it because they lost too much weight. That’s never happened with an obesity drug.

5️⃣ It works differently. Ozempic and Zepbound suppress appetite. Retatrutide does that too, but its third receptor (glucagon) flips your metabolism toward burning stored fat. In Phase 2, ketone bodies rose 2-3x, confirming the body was switching fuel sources.

6️⃣ It causes a side effect no other obesity drug does: tingling and numbness (12.5%). New receptor, new trade-off. Worth watching.

7️⃣ In a separate study, it cleared 86% of liver fat. 93% of patients reached normal levels. 1 in 3 adults have fatty liver disease. No approved drug comes close.

8️⃣ Two-thirds of patients on the highest dose were reclassified out of obesity entirely. They started at BMI 40. They finished under 30. That’s not just weight loss. That’s a medical reclassification.

@US_FDA filing expected late 2026.

Fun season by the Cats, can’t really blame the players for this one. Must be hard to focus when your coach is flirting with the UNC job all week to get a raise.

Mexican BLOOD is on US citizen's hands!

How painful it may be to admit, but Mexico’s problem lies with its neighbor — the United States of America

Mexicans don’t do drugs nor they allowed to poses guns.

It's not a secret that cartels like Jalisco are armed with US guns — therefore Mexico has to sue the US weapon manufacturers.

[Román @romancf1]

Quick everyone! Hide all evidence of how international soccer works. Messi stayed in Rosario’s Newell’s Old Boy his entire career and never benefitted to the Spanish La Liga and UEFA infrastructure. It never happened!

[Román @romancf1]

Did bad bunny forget Belize as a member of the American continent?

[Román @romancf1]

Hot take: This is counterproductive for keepers. Marcelo Bielsa said: "Executing a penalty in training is a technical action; in a match, it’s a psychological one." Same for goalies. You don't just react; you have to read the kicker's mind under pressure. 🧤⚽️

[Massimo @Rainmaker1973]

Live Penalty allows you to train a goalkeeper and score a goal directly from your phone

The sucker punch isn’t the scary part—that’s old news. Whats terrifying is the crowd. In the 2000s, doing that made you a social pariah instantly. Now? People just film n celebrate it. We’ve completely lost our ability to self-police anti-social behavior. It’s a cultural collapse
