Predictive storytelling

[Buffed Prime T-Cal @BuffedInPrime]

I was 100% convinced this was A.I.
“Last year We weren’t looking at defenses, we were just high school, free balling, just playing football”

Y’all Pay Deion $10M PER YEARFor his players to say “yeah we wasn’t looking at defenses” 😭. People thought I lied about them not watching film 🤣. This 30 for 30 gonna be Legendary.

If you had told me that Germán Márquez would go five innings of one-run ball after needing 31 pitches to record just one out in the first tonight, I'd have said ... that's an oddly specific prediction.

In 1978, FIFA moved Argentina’s final group game to a day later than every one else’s so they knew what they had to do qualify. They needed to beat Peru by 4 goals to qualify so naturally Argentinian dictator Jorge Videla and Henry Kissinger visited the Peruvian dressing room before the game to remind them of their Argentinian-Peruvian brotherhood. Fortunately Argentina won that game 6-0 and went on to win the World Cup.

Argentina has gone 17-0 against Switzerland in debt restructuring talks, now let’s see how they perform in soccer for a change

Wrapped Day 1 of @playbyplaycamps in NJ/NYC.

This was one of the most stunning things I’ve ever seen in person.

A camper claimed they could recite the schedule/result of every NFL team since 2009…

Excellent news! Now @LeaderJohnThune can get McConnell to resign, so we can kick off a special election. This story is now bordering on insane. We are to believe that an 84 year old with multiple health conditions survived an out of hospital cardiac arrest, where the survival rate is 4.4%? If he truly is this lucky, he should be playing the lottery and not voting in Congress. If McConnell is awake, he needs to resign.

@JenniferJJacobs @CHueyBurns Sounds like bullshit

@jbendery How could they tell?

@jkbjournalist you literally said 'its happening as we write this'

[Brigadier Ketchup @BrigadierKetch]

Spain vs. Portugal today. Winner gets to stay in North America. Sounds like it’s roughly 1600 AD in your strategy map game of choice.

the Treaty of Tordesillas:

[PFT Commenter @PFTCommenter]

God bless the 18 independent FIFA disciplinary committee officials who operated with grace and integrity and put forth a ruling based on the FACTS of this case and not poltical influences. Their work should not be overlooked. Fair play above all 🤝

[Socialist Bucks @socialistbucks]

Btw if you’re a US fan like “I don’t want Balogun to play because it’s not right it’s unethical” I want you to Google “Belgium Congo” right now.

[Plus EV Analytics @PlusEVAnalytics]

FIFA: "no of course this was not political interference, we would never allow such a thing"
Trump: "it was all me. I interfered. Politically."

Spectacular.

[Spreadapedia @Spreadapedia]

@HITCSevens careful you need a license to post that

[Mike Holden @binaryfootball]

This is what the Balogun decision boils down to. Europeans are outraged but, as an audience, we're going nowhere. FIFA's own mandate for this tournament is to capture the US audience completely and inflate their TV deals from 2030 onwards. On that front, the tournament is going extremely well and they will do nothing to risk a delicate relationship with swing voters. Europeans are furious because this is unprecedented. Americans are pleased because it aligns with their sporting culture and they don't see any precedent.
