@TrungTPhan Best part of working in the City was walking the Embarcadero on a sunny day. Second best was Swans.

Bourdain said San Francisco was his favourite food eating city in America.
Liked the Asian spots and old school steakhouses. The mix of low and high end options.
But especially liked fresh seafood: Swan Oyster Depot was his go-to for smashing oysters and crab head juice.

TIL the Bay Area has 44% (7/16) of the Michelin 3 starred restaurants in the US New York has 5, LA has 2

@RetroBayArea We would go to watch the water ski jumping competitions. Loved it. But the best Marine World Africa USA story is the warriors’ Clifford Ray saving the dolphin, Dr Spock, because of Ray’s uncommonly long arms. snapjudgment.org/episode/waterw…

Scenes from Marine World Africa USA in Redwood City, 1985.
I loved this place. The original Marine World was better than what Six Flags in Vallejo became. Not that it didn't have its own charm, it did, but Redwood City had something that never got replicated.

@JasonStewart Would not be my list - I get it’s subjective- but, objectively, any list that does not include the original Bad News Bears cannot be taken seriously.
English
I have considerably good taste in movies. There shouldn't be any arguments about this list...

Update - she continues to drop hot takes. This evening (of note she is a huge Chicago Bulls fan) she said, “I haven’t seen a championship in almost 30 years after the Jordan dynasty, stop complaining” 😏

My mom is visiting me from Chicago. Within the first hour of being here, she tells me, "LeBron isn't coming to the Warriors" 🥺

@Thundering165 Bingo. It’s the scouting/identifying talent that might be playing Sunday leagues as a 12yo against grown men in communities without elite clubs, getting the shit kicked out of them while playing with skill and creativity.

If you think soccer is seen as a rich kids sport in America you just don’t know any immigrants
Jon Tweets Sports@jontweetssports
As others have said, a big issue with soccer in the US has been access. Soccer is still widely seen a rich kid’s sport in the US. In the rest of the world, soccer is a path out of humble beginnings. In the US, the path sports are (American) football & basketball. They’re affordable & elite basketball players earn scholarships in travel programs. Until youth soccer in the US finds its way to the neighborhood parks & becomes widely affordable to create a pipeline, it will be what it is.

@CoachJMort @AdmiralBear01 You say regressing while I’d say the rest of the world improving is a natural result of the expansion of the game. Like in basketball - the Dream Team may be the best team assembled but what the 2024 olympic team did in winning gold was much much harder
English
@AdmiralBear01 Our women are regressing as well now that other countries are investing in the sport. We won our WCs because we invested in women’s soccer 50 years ahead of the curve.

We always talk about the nature of youth soccer as the reason why USMNT isn't more competitive, but American girls play in the same damn system and win World Cups.
The issue is simple: Our best athletes can make way more money learning and playing other sports, so they do.
Dr. Nirav Pandya, M.D.@DrNiravPandya
There are going to be multiple talking points about how the USMNT can enter the next tier of soccer over the upcoming weeks. A lot has to do with the current youth club system. It's expensive, a ton of kids drop out at a young age, and longitudinal development is forgotten

This might be Europe’s most beautiful city.

This is so much fun. Yes it's a huge surprise. But don't listen to the ludicrous announcers. Cape Verde is a great passing team and a worthy opponent as they have proven in previous matches
Stop the "miracle on ice" comparisons
English
@jonlipsitz So deft. Broadcast was going on about the power but I thought his touch was the story. Maddux painting the corner or Gretzky finding a seam or Magic feeding Worthy on the break or Montana-to-Taylor to win SBXXIII. And now Tillman going up and down against BIH.
English
Making that free kick even more amazing was how close the wall was allowed to be. (Ref comment deleted here)
Ball a yard outside box is at 19 yards. Wall at penalty spot is 12 yards.
At most 7 yards away. Why was math so hard last night
English
@dan_marra @wwalsh Correct. Broadcast teams have no idea what images will be shown. It’s why the look/feel of every broadcast is the same, World Cup by World Cup
English
@wwalsh Not defending any of this but on the tv crew I think fifa supplies the feed so they only show what fifa gives them, so replays, etc. it’s probably not the tv crew missing it, it’s more fifa controlling the replays.
English
Balogun was in on goal. He beat the defender and was about to score.
No red card. No penalty. No yellow card. No foul. No review.
The bizarre thing is that Fox Sports showed a replay that began just AFTER the defender let go of the arm. So weird. How could the officials miss this? And how could the TV crew miss it as well? @USMNT

Was great to surprise @pkedit before #USMNT’s @FIFAWorldCup match to celebrate his 50+ years of covering our sport for @SoccerAmerica! Thanks for everything you've done Paul and enjoy retirement!

@jared_killeen @BontaHill July 4, 1994. US v world power Brazil in R16. 0-1 loss to the team that would win it all. Bigger than Wednesday’s game.
English
@BontaHill Bonta it’s true. It’s the world cup. Knockout stage with the US involved.
English
@timehasflownby @WillRenegar @amcalabrese12 It was golden goal. Then it wasn’t. Now it is again (I think it only wasn’t for maybe a season).
English
English
Continually specifying that there is “no golden goal” in the World Cup is particularly hilarious because if you even know what golden goal is, it means you’ve been watching soccer for 20+ years.
English
@schadjoe It’s terrible. An absolute fluke can end the game (there can always be a fluke goal but at least a team can answer). Gotta play it out and then PKs
English
@Kurt07829528 @CamInman I’d put 94 ahead. We only lost 0-1. Against mighty Brazil, who go on to win the whole thing. Packed house. Nation’s birthday. (I’m biased. I was on the field as a “film runner” for that game)
English
Team USA 🇺🇸 will be practicing here in sunny & spectacular San Jose on Tuesday
Then comes Wednesday’s World Cup game at Levi’s Stadium vs Bosnia & Herzegovina
Biggest Bay Area soccer game ever or do July 4 games vs Brazil in 1994 (men) and 1999 (women) top it???!!?!!! Others?
English
@pkedit We will have to connect there some time to discuss the beautiful game!

@dsfreem Coffee Conscious up the street is my favorite coffee shop. I also go to Westbrae Nursery a lot.

I went in search of a place to watch Netherlands vs Morocco. Did not have to travel far. All I needed to look for was orange. Next to Albany, in Berkeley, is Headlands Brewery. Probably 125 people in two spots. (On bar were scattered were merchandise offers someone set up.)
