@seattletimes What jerkoffs. FFS.

Some Seattle soccer fans have mixed feelings about patriotically backing the U.S. team during the FIFA Men's World Cup, given the actions of President Donald Trump. #Echobox=1781802264-2" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">seattletimes.com/seattle-news/w…

@_ChaoticGood42 @t0xmmy2 Great post.

@t0xmmy2 I think we all needed this. 2022 World Cup was still pandemic times, and it just wasn’t the same. People are remembering what it’s like to have fun again. It’s a beautiful thing

Something good is happening at this World Cup. The Scots turned up. The English turned up. The Norwegians turned up. They sang their songs, got stuck in, and the Americans loved them for it. Glasgow and Boston are getting twinned off the back of it. For 30 years we’ve been told to view the US as some sort of Great Satan — all imperialism and orange-man clichés. Not everyone buys it of course, but enough do. And then Europeans actually go, and find a place that feels familiar. Makes sense to them. A bit richer, a bit further ahead, but recognisably ours. Settled by Europeans, still deeply European in its bones. There’s a gathering-of-the-clans feeling to it. Old neighbours discovering they still like the same songs, the same drink, the same daft humour, and genuinely enjoying each other’s company. None of it’s a surprise, really. It’s just been buried under so much politics that we forgot we were allowed to enjoy it. Good to be reminded.

@t0xmmy2 Agreed. Sometimes the Universe just gives us what we need.

@BlueBoxDave Confucius say "name go in book"

Marx is claiming it was offside, is just brilliance.

@JohnCleese Thank you Sir.

Eureka!! Hope you all are enjoying the World Cup

@DamianPwalsh @JohnCleese My dad and I are watching on repeat with tears in our eyes!

@JohnCleese I'd forgotten how funny this is. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

@cristiGavrila @JohnCleese An Easter Egg

@JohnCleese See Beckenbauer on the philosophers team. 🤣

@JohnCleese I just showed this to my teenager and her friends and they are ROLLING laughing! Bring back humor!

@Jebadoo2 💯🔥😂💯🔥😂

Absolute genius

This is fantastic. | @FranklinCamarg0

@ianmSC USA

I don’t know, maybe the US should just host every World Cup

@Heminator They are such snobs.

The NYT is having trouble reconciling that the things people like most about America aren't always the things coastal elites value. I'm sorry but if you think Buc-ee's and Bass Pro Shops are anything but a modern marvel, you're way out of touch.

@bonchieredstate @sleepdoctorjoe I’m here for it

The run this dude is on will never be topped. I’ve never seen anything like this.

@MattWhitlock Yes!

The Scottish World Cup fans playing bagpipes in the streets of Boston, singing Country Roads in a bar, and taking over Fenway Park are the best thing about the World Cup so far.

@barstoolsports Viva La France!

The last time this many French people were in America they were helping us take down the redcoats

@TJ_Pratt @FreddyLA7 @pronounced_kyle @NASA @AstroAnnimal I mean what is happening? 😂😂🔥🔥

@FreddyLA7 @pronounced_kyle @NASA @AstroAnnimal Freddy came for the World Cup and some how ended up in the Orion Capsule

This is the coolest thing ever. We’re at NASA getting a tour from astronaut Anne McClain. This is us entering the Orion capsule that flew around the Moon in April.

@detective_swift 100%

They’re gonna make a movie about Freddy the World Cup tourist one day

@JebraFaushay Not all heroes wear capes.

When the boring World Cup comes to an end, the entire planet will be entranced by the phenomenal competitive and riviting sport, Hobby Horsing. (Everythinghoy)
