I still have PTSD from meeting @joehaden23 and calling him OBJ, to his face, multiple times. Joe if you see this I’m so so so sorry.

@tombogert They can get fucked, respectfully

Clubs in England have USMNT GK Matt Freese on their radar. No bids or anything yet, and NYCFC certainly wouldn't let him go for cheap. Latest I'm hearing on Freese and other USMNT players in summer window: nytimes.com/athletic/73890…

@zamboughnuts @Leb_Zeppelins Only difference between a bit and a cause is meaning it!

@AdVancedMorgan @Leb_Zeppelins Apparently the current owners of that bar are Irish and moved to the US in 2007, so... it may not even be a bit.

I loved the Scots. But people in New England begging for their approval is so weird. The English are awesome football fans and in large part good people. No reason to do tricks on it for the Scottish.

@Leb_Zeppelins Definitely see your point. However also kinda love the commitment to the bit by the folks at Dubliner.

@AdVancedMorgan Fair. But we should treat everyone the same especially if they are coming here and spending a ton of money.

@Friar_Baguette In all honesty, the league will have passed Pulisic by in 4 years in terms of him being a big name signing. I’d say he’ll come in the next two or he won’t at all.

@AdVancedMorgan Come after the 2030 WC. The money and league will probably be even better.

Its better for the growth of American soccer to have its stars play for European clubs that people watch globally 🗣️🗣️

@RapSheet Larry dropping his nuts on Sorsby’s forehead, my goodness.

Here is the letter from the NFL’s Management Council to Brendan Sorsby: Dear Mr. Sorsby:   We are in receipt of your Petition for Special Eligibility, dated June 16, 2026 (“Petition”).  As announced earlier today, the League has elected not to conduct a Supplemental Draft this year.   Under our Collective Bargaining Agreement, the League retains sole discretion to determine whether it is appropriate to conduct a Supplemental Draft in any given year. The League has not conducted such a draft for several years and, prior to your submission, the League had no plans to do so this year, as no other player has sought entry. Your Petition—filed three business days before the deadline, without any supporting information or documentation, and only after abandoning your recent litigation efforts to avoid NCAA sanctions—does not provide a basis for the League to alter those plans. The issues presented by your Petition are too significant, and too closely tied to the League’s core integrity interests, to permit meaningful review within the timeline presented.   The sole reasons identified in your Petition for seeking entry into the Supplemental Draft are that you have been “declared ineligible” by the NCAA, have “exhausted all of [your] avenues to continue in the NCAA,” and “want to now play in the NFL.” The Petition provides no information regarding the basis for, or timing of, the NCAA’s decision. Public sources, however, indicate that in May 2026 the NCAA issued a determination declaring you permanently ineligible from participation in college athletics, based on a sustained pattern of improper gambling activity during your collegiate career at three different universities.   The League does not have the complete record of the NCAA’s investigation, and you did not provide any such materials with your Petition. Available information nonetheless indicates that, over the course of your collegiate career, you knowingly engaged in repeated and significant violations of NCAA rules designed to preserve the integrity of athletic competition. Reported conduct includes placing wagers on your own team and teammates and, to avoid detection, establishing or funding accounts in the names of intermediaries who placed bets on your behalf. There are also reports that you may have violated state criminal law.   Your Petition does not address these matters. Nor does it demonstrate accountability for your conduct or indicate whether, or how, you would adhere to the League’s rules and policies governing the integrity of competition. Instead, even after receiving notice of the NCAA’s decision rescinding your college eligibility in May, you sought to avoid the consequences of that determination through litigation rather than accepting responsibility for your actions, and you pursued entry into the NFL only after abandoning those efforts.   As Commissioner Goodell has emphasized, participation in the NFL is a privilege that carries with it significant responsibilities, including accountability. By all accounts, you are a talented player with the potential for future success. We encourage you to focus on preparing for possible entry into the NFL through the 2027 NFL Annual Draft.   Sincerely, Lawrence P. Ferazani, Jr.

@buddybuddy401 @_Zeets Congrats to your dad, seriously. Cant even imagine what he’s feeling. They have a concrete shot of making the knockouts which is fucking insane.

@_Zeets My dad was born on one of the Islands and loves soccer, you should see this guy right now.

I’m watching this like I was born and raised in Cabo Verde. Losing my mind.

@dibsemeritus @DePaulAthletics That’s unbelievable. Talk about a prized piece for the man cave.

I was given the retired DIBS costume last year by @DePaulAthletics and my Father’s Day gift was a mannequin so we could display him so we set him up today. I’m always grateful for the opportunity to have portrayed DIBS and that they gave this to me. #scomons

@stoolpresidente Why would you not go in person give the opportunity? You have the rest of your life to watch games at a bar

I have a question. I’m debating going to either the Scots vs Morocco game tomorrow or just going into Boston to watch the USA game and Scots game with the Tartan Army at the Sporting Club in Boston. What’s the better experience? Or I may stay home cause I hate crowds but feel like it’s a once in lifetime type thing

@sportsboy203 @RealKYMuskie Tbf the Hartford keeper is a dawg

@RealKYMuskie Their GK coach is from Hartford Athletic however!

And now we have a USL keeper in for Ghana. This is a SICK, SICK game. It’s so addicting.

@Corner3God The real crime was those shoes with that suit

Wearing the rag to court might be motion

@Friar_Baguette Well said. Also getting on my soapbox, MLS is no longer a farmer’s league and hasn’t been for a minute. Top 10 league in the world and hoping the WC will get more ppl invested.

I dont think people understand. Messi is still the greatest player in the world and he just so happens to play in the MLS.

Cape Verde, man. Magic is real.

@DougMighton @RealKYMuskie Yes. And to be clear not against MLS stadiums, just not a fan of BMO.

@AdVancedMorgan @RealKYMuskie Have you been?

I understand it’s Canada but Toronto stadium is just sad for something that’s supposed to open the World Cup in a country

@DougMighton @RealKYMuskie BMO is an eyesore and the shoe-horned extra seating they needed to meet capacity requirements is obvious

@AdVancedMorgan @RealKYMuskie Toronto Stadium is perfectly suited for this tournament. On the beautiful shores of Lake Ontario. More intimate than any American cheesy monstrosities. Not a bad seat in the house.

@RealKYMuskie Bosnia are massive don’t sleep 🇧🇦

These small European countries and their set pieces man

Local bar is serving up a country-specific food/beer pairing menu for the World Cup. I am going to get so violently ill on Scotch eggs and Xingu Gold tonight.
