🚨 𝗡𝗘𝗪: Micah Richards learned that his father, Lincoln, had unexpectedly passed away shortly before going live on the BBC for England vs Argentina.
Richards still completed the broadcast, saying his father would have wanted “the show to go on”.
“He was my greatest fan. He barely missed a game my entire life.
He would take me wherever I needed to go as a kid, and he was the proudest parent possible during my professional career.
Dad would’ve wanted the show to go on this evening. And so it did.
My father Lincoln, my hero and inspiration.”

In the NFL- If a DB is out of position and a receiver jumps back into him, the ball can be placed at the spot of the foul (potentially 1 yd line).
In the NBA: You leave your foot, defender creates contact shoots free throws.
Anytime you get lost on defense it can cost you.

Profits over veterans ⬇️
The average auto premium increased 132% over 10 years.
As a result, insurers made more profit than Florida law allows.
Therefore, one of the state’s largest auto insurers is forced to refund money to policyholders.

Maybe not. But soccer will continue to grow in America at unprecedented rate, the soccer market in America will become even more attractive/lucrative to biz, American soccer talent will have even more opportunity/resources, and America’s soccer culture will be proudly unique.
