Few people did. Outside of miscommunication early on by Laporte and Cubarsi, Spain played an excellent game. They dictated the pace and controlled the midfield. Congratulations to ‘La Roja.’ #Spain #España #FIFAWorldCup2026 #FRAESP #WorldCup

From what I’ve seen over the years at Dodger Stadium, #DBacks fans are fine. If you’re wearing a Padres, Giants, Astros jerseys & sitting in left/ right field pavilions, including outer reserve sections, you leave yourself open to insults, food thrown at you, etc. #Dodgers #MLB

I fought the law, and the law won. Actually, that security officer landed that straight left perfectly on the chin. Homie likely never fought a southpaw .. #boxing #fighting #FAFO
