If you’re a founder watching the World Cup hmu, I happen to be a big fan of founders with passion for their country / enthusiasm & empathy for kindred spirits participating in this gladiatorial (once in every 4 years) tournament

@mattturck VARgentina*

Argentina struggled against the world's #64, almost got eliminated by the world's #26, and they're now in extra time against the world's #19 which is down to 10 players.

So the chip in the ball detected the Croatian player’s hair vs Portugal but it didn’t work when the ball hit the freaken cable of the camera to favor England?

The match-fixing impact VAR is having on this tournament is truly diabolical

Spilling the sauce but two universal truths when it comes to founders & VCs.. 1) if you see them make a lot of noise on X, they ARE definitely fundraising.. even though wink wink they are not. 2) every event thrown is a sourcing event (founders for VCs, talent for founders). that friendly poker night, sourcing. yes, that cute indie movie event, sourcing. anthropic researchers coming, 100% sourcing. Like it is foretold by our forefathers, everything is sales!

We’re crossing $100M in funding and welcoming @nvidia to our cap table as part of an extension of our seed round. This adds fuel to our momentum: real-time STT and TTS, Gradium Translate, Phonon, all shipped in a few months and with accelerating timelines between releases. It also supports our next step: expanding to San Francisco to work closer to the startups building the future of voice AI. We're hiring there. Come build with us.

No. 1 Feature at Daytona is live.

More important to wear the colors proudly the day after a loss. Proud of USMNT. We were outclasses yesterday Down but not out. We will be back.

@deedydas Now run an analysis on how many times it has happened post VAR

The Argentina come back against Egypt is one of the best matches in football history. I analyzed ~50,000 games with Fable to show just how crazy it was. Of the 10,138 times that a team has been up 2-0 at 79', only SIXTEEN times (0.16%) did they ever make a come back at the end of 90 minutes. This is the first time it's happened in a World Cup.

My debut World Cup… it hurts to wait 4 years to compete at the highest level our sport has to offer. I want to say sorry to our fans it was not good enough when it mattered most and we let you down Soccer in America will only become bigger the belief, the talent, and the passion is continually growing and I know the best days are in front of us, the future belongs to those who never stop believing, this moment will fuel us. We will be back Why not us? For the nation. For the flag. 🇺🇸🦅 B

High chance we lose a good number of y’all in the next few days now that the US is out. But I want to encourage you if you found yourself getting into the game and the hype and the player analysis, stick around! We have a great USMNT community here that stays strong every year!

Yeah that’s about right Embarrassing doesn’t even begin to describe that performance

U.S. got screwed with the red card in the game. Said f it. We ball. Outscored Bosnia despite being a man down. Balogun shook hands with the official anyway. Handled it like a total pro. Was told there were no appeals. Said f it. We ball. Bring on Belgium anyway. We’ll still win. We’re told today he can play. We say cool. Everyone else shows 0 class whatsoever. F it. We ball. See you tomorrow.

To all the Europeans clutching their pearls over this after spending the last several days Eurosplaining the sport to us, let me explain it to you. Even if Balogun deserved a red (he didn’t), the referee misused VAR under FIFA’s own rules. That resulted in a red card that couldn’t be appealed. FIFA then correctly used Article 27 to review and suspend the ban because the initial VAR error led to an unappealable decision.
