Fuck the dirty whiny thug Weeds. They act like complete assholes on the field.

@jonlipsitz Fair point. But I always look at it as a confidence thing. Defenders seem less likely to overthink their kicks and do those idiotic stutter step kicks that miss too often.

@arusulato30 Maybe it's just a weird one off. Maybe it isn't. Who knows. But looking back 27 years is really no more scientific than us flipping a coin.

It's not the position. 3 of the 5 US kickers in the 99 final were defenders, with the CB duo taking (and converting) the first two kicks.

@ThatLitManager I don't disagree, and I think it's so stupid. But those are the rules.

@arusulato30 FIFA it’s so damn corrupt that we can’t even call our stadiums by their rightful names while they’re hosting their games because FIFA hasn’t made any money from it It’s just disgusting

Dallas Stadium was PACKED with celebrating Argentina fans and these good samaritans' plan worked! 🫡🇦🇷 (via @NickHarrisFWST/X, @AtaqueFutbolero/X)

@ThatLitManager It's Dallas Stadium during the WC. FIFA rules prohibit sponsored names on stadiums used for WC matches.

@NBCSportsSoccer It’s called AT&T Stadium, NBC. Or should we just call you “television network“ from now on?

Now that the group stage is over, I think it's safe to say that the AFC was the most disappointing confederation in this tournament. I just expected better from them overall.

@uclanak46 Canada, not California.

@netflix Why would California get English and French?

ONE YEAR UNTIL THE 2027 FIFA WOMEN’S WORLD CUP LIVE on Netflix next summer in the U.S. and Canada — with English and Spanish broadcasts in the U.S., and English and French broadcasts in CA.

@caro_ped1a Netflix doesn't own the broadcasting rights to the WC in those other countries.

@netflix And in all the other countries that actually love fútbol (not soccer), why aren’t you thinking to broadcast it?! 🫪🫠😒😖

@keepernotes @2010MisterChip Leap years?

@2010MisterChip June 17, 2006 to June 23, 2026 = 20 years, 6 days Where is the 11 coming from?

Mayor tiempo entre el primer y el último gol de un jugador en TODA la historia de la Copa del Mundo: 🇵🇹 20 años y 11 días - CRISTIANO RONALDO (17.06.2006 vs Irán → 23.06.2026 vs Uzbekistán) 🇦🇷 20 años y 11 días - LEO MESSI (16.06.2006 vs Serbia → 22.06.2026 vs Austria) 🇩🇪 12 años y 40 días - Miroslav Klose (2002 → 2014) 🇩🇰 12 años y 19 días - Michael Laudrup (1986 → 1998) 🇭🇷 12 años y 13 días - Ivica Olić (2002 → 2014) LA GRAN BATALLA FINAL: el que llegue más lejos y marque se quedará con este récord por los siglos de los siglos.

Can we stop with the "Turkiye is a dark horse" narrative until they actually do something at a major tournament? They haven't done jack in over 20 years!

Can we PLEASE move on from the idea that teams from Africa are just there to make up the numbers and will get slaughtered by any team from Europe without question?

@MXavi1602 @BrasilianFury @lexiescarina Don't forget Daniela. She was a big part of those great Brazil teams as well. Shame that injuries derailed her career after 2008, because she was soooo good.

@BrasilianFury @lexiescarina instead, when we had marta and cristiane, our federation always put some shitty coaches and our teams was only depending of some magic from these two players.

brazil has beat the uswnt, spain, england, and japan in their respective last meetings (within the past 2 years). this is a team that people should be seeing as a top contender to win the world cup especially as the hosts.

@EqualizerSoccer Small nitpick- last year was the second time the Courage missed the playoffs. They missed out in 2022 as well.

Concern for Barbra Banda, the new-look North Carolina Courage, Racing Louisville's continuing struggles, and more #NWSL talking points from Jenna Pel on matchweek 10 ⤵️ equalizersoccer.com/2026/06/04/tal…

Fingers crossed that this is not serious. Never want injuries to happen to anyone.

@FANGIRLOVERLOAD I think it's more the DisCo being consistent. They have to punish the offense equally to other hair pulls, or there's a risk of an appearance of bias.

The Angelina suspension seems excessive when it was accidental. It was an extended hold or grab either, she let go once she realized. I guess this is more making an example than anything else…

@NWSLThisWeek Please use JPN when referring to Japan. What you used is a slur.

And don't forget that incoming @denversummitfc icon Lindsey Heaps also scored in the #USAvJAP game on Saturday!

Makes me barf, because I loathe the Weeds, but I can't not acknowledge their new direction and still call myself a soccer fan.

Once those players departed, they had to rebuild around youth, and they're looking set for years to come without relying on big names.

Much as I hate to say anything positive about the Weeds, Wilson missing last year was the best thing that ever could have happened for them long term.
