"Aussie boys are on a bender. Donald Trump is a sex offender" generational chant btw. Always have said they're some of the best in international football 🏴🤝🇦🇺
Cape Verde centre back Roberto 'Pico' Lopes has spent his entire career in Ireland, ignored a LinkedIn message from Cape Verde FA asking him to play for them because it was in Portuguese. A year later, they sent it in English. He accepted. An all-time great World Cup story.
Fun part of this World Cup is learning about all these specific ethnic enclaves in the US, every game has some cut that’s like “and here’s the famed Curaçaoan community in Wilmington, Delaware” and it’s some random bar with like 450,000 people
I just had my own Larry David moment. A guy in this fantasy league announced his sibling died and we all gave him condolences. Then a few hours later I picked up a player off the waiver wire and everyone was like what the fuck are you doing??

Thanks to the @NBA, Knicks Game 4 is now playing on dozens of @LinkNYC screens across our city.
LGK.
@jastmasiya@FIFAcom@FIFAWorldCup it's not a 5-second rule for throw-in. it's if it they're taking too long then they will put the 5-second countdown. so they prob have like 10-15 seconds of grace before that countdown starts, and it might change by ref.
Jeremy Lin reveals he tried to reject the Rockets' $29,000,000 offer and would have taken significantly less to stay with the Knicks
“I was crushed and my agent is telling me, ‘Be prepared that they won't match.’ And I'm like, ‘There's no way. There's no way. I got to go back to New York’”
“They could have offered me three years, $9 million, but there wasn't even that offer on the table. And when the Rockets offer came in, the first question I asked my agent is, ‘Are the Knicks going to match this?’”
“I was like, ‘Can you go back to the Rockets and tell them we won't accept this offer? We only want a lower offer.’ I tried to take less. I was trying to sabotage the Rockets offer.”
“I remember it vividly. I call my agent back and I'm like, ‘Okay, the offer came through. No, we have to get a less lucrative offer because I got to go back to New York’”
“Finally I'm like, ‘Can we just not accept their offer?’ And he's like, ‘No, we can't not accept their offer because the Knicks refuse to give us any offer. You have zero offers on the table. You have one offer and you have to accept it and leave it to the Knicks to match or not’”
“It was kind of difficult to see that people thought I willingly left the Knicks or did it for the money or whatever. I would have played for significantly less if that meant staying with the Knicks because my heart was always here”
Even though I feel like I really didn’t let the world know how good I really was, this just a very little tiny bit of what I was capable us. I’m truly sorry world y’all didn’t get the real me….
