@PaulCarr 6-4?

5-4 would be World Cup Scorigami... 👀 #RootForChaos

@benwright Not crazy. At least not for this take.😂

Am I crazy? This is blatant simulation and fully deserving of a yellow card.

@PaulTenorio I don't think this should have been even slightly controversial. Embolo got what he deserved.

People have said they want diving out of the game for so long and still hate the player being given a yellow for clear simulation.

@OliverKay @aquilaaudax2620 Oh, Ronaldo suspended suspension totally normal. Balogun suspended suspension "shifted the goalposts". Euros gonna Euro.

@aquilaaudax2620 Because, as many have said, the Balogun case has far wider repercussions than just him and USA. Because FIFA shifted the goalposts, leavening their entire disciplinary process under serious scrutiny. The fact that Trump is trying to take credit for it makes things even worse

Quansah red card was correct, as is two-game ban. All entirely uncontroversial ... if it wasn't for the fact that FIFA applied their rules differently in the Balogun and Ronaldo cases. They didn't rescind the Balogun red card after Trump's call to Infantino. They didn't say it was wrongful dismissal. They just delayed the ban. And from that point, everything seems contestable nytimes.com/athletic/74266…

@PeterBurnsESPN Ream was not responsible for the last one. That's on the goalie

Every goal by Belgium they abused #13. Woof

HAPPY 4TH JULY AMERICA! 🦅🇺🇸

Hey ref, next time pull one of these if you don't want to get booed

Tonight, as Algeria and Austria face off at Kansas City Stadium, we're celebrating with a special light show rotating between green and red for Les Fennecs and red and white for Das Team. 🇩🇿 One, Two, Three, Viva l’Algérie! 🇦🇹 Gemma, Burschen!

@fox4kc can we get rid of the ridiculous thunderstorm watch graphic that you insist on running? Not one single person watching the World Cup turned on the game to check on the weather. Your ticker is blocking part of the game and we already know we live in the Midwest in June.

Who else? 🐐 #FIFAWorldCup #WeAreKansasCity #WeAre26 #FIFAFanFestival

🐐🐐🐐

Honestly the main thing I hope we get out of this world cup is the Argentinians swapping barbecue knowledge with the people of KC while they’re in town so we can create a hybrid super barbecue.

@jbbrisco What would you pay for that jersey signed by LRZ?

name your price

MESSI SCORES ARGENTINA’S FIRST GOAL OF THE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP! 🇦🇷

@theiaincameron Not Singapore?

France v Senegal is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries surround OTHER sovereign countries that open to the sea*. France wraps around Monaco, and Senegal wraps The Gambia. (Monaco and Gambia are 2 of the only 3 such surrounded countries in the world.**) Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis. * Also known as a semi-enclave: a territory that is completely surrounded by another country's land borders, except for one section that borders an open body of water. ** The only other semi-enclave in the world is Brunei, which is surrounded by Malaysia.

@TerribleMaps They also changed the words to My Country Tis Of Thee. Truly a jealous country lacking creativity.

Surprised more people don't talk about how many English towns are named after U.S. cities

USA. A Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything, and the food was already arriving. Chips. Salsa. Unrequested. Free. I stopped the waiter. "We have not earned these." "They just come with the table, man." They come with the TABLE. In my land, hospitality is a debt. Every gift creates an obligation, weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration: we trust you. Eat. I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. And then — I must report this calmly — the basket emptied, and a new one appeared. "Did we…?" "Refill," the waiter said. "It's bottomless." Bottomless. They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me. "Don't fill up on chips, dude." Too late. I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished — an unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. I was not hungry. I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy. Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule now. I have made my peace with the basket. One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving. There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa, and I intend to honor all of it.

83 - Chris Richards completed all 83 passes he attempted for the #USMNT against Paraguay, the most passes with a 100 percent accuracy rate by any player in a FIFA World Cup match since 1966. Perfection.

@schadjoe 100% agree

66.6% of nations will advance out of group stage of World Cup this summer, massive upgrade from 50% in past World Cups. Seems odd to play 3 games to eliminate so few teams. On the surface NOT a fan of the new format. Why does every tournament have to expand? Thoughts?

.@FIFAWorldCup why am I being shown celebrities in the crowd while the ball is in play? Do better please. #usmnt
