Horrified to read about the stabbing on the Atlanta Beltline.

Misleading tweet by Infantino. The bond is waived for fans from the impacted countries *only* if they bought tickets before April 15 & registered for FIFA Pass. But why would they have done that prior to April 15 at a time they were disincentivized to do so by $15k visa bonds?

Kylian Mbappe was ruthlessly jeered at the Bernabeu today

Before departing for Colombia, James Rodríguez gets glowing praise from #MNUFC teammate Anthony Markanich 🇨🇴 "He's amazing. A great character...talks to everyone, great locker room guy who helps the younger guys. We are all going to miss him" "Es increíble.

Carlo Ancelotti's success is off the scale; a title winner in all five major European leagues and a five-time winner of the Champions League, which is two more any of his peers. Yet, for Brazil, Ancelotti’s hire was a step outside of their comfort zone. He is their first foreign coach for more than 60 years. A coach who wins, for a nation which stopped winning. And on Monday, he will unveil the 26-man squad he believes can win Brazil’s first World Cup since 2002. In Brazil, the debate surrounds Neymar, now 34 and playing in the domestic league at Santos. He has struggled for form and fitness since suffering a torn ACL in his left knee in October 2023 but retains a level of celebrity within the imagination of the Brazilian public.
