@RobhRyan @FPL_Calle @FOXSports This is an excellent effort. Good man.

@jsbrenna @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Then Ill do 20-26 as the "sentimental choices for hosts/farewells 20. Ronaldo 21. Modric 22. Lewandowski 23. Salah 24. Davies 25. Pulisic 26. Jimenez But genuinely none of these players are interesting to me narrative wise. Teams arent good enough beyond maybe Portugal.

The main broadcaster for the World Cup (@FOXSports) ranked their top 26 players who will define the tournament: 26. McKennie 25. Saka 24. Salah 23. Raphinha 22. Balogun 21. Bruno 20. Hakimi 19. Pedri 18. Doue 17. Lautaro 16. Chris Richards 15. Mané 14. Bellingham 13. Musiala 12. Son 11. Van Dijk 10. Modric 9. Dembele 8. Kane 7. Vinicius Jr 6. Pulisic 5. Haaland 4. Mbappe 3. Yamal 2. Ronaldo 1. Messi I don’t think I’m ready for a World Cup in the United States

@RobhRyan @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Fair question. I interpret it as either excel or become the sentimental story.

@jsbrenna @FPL_Calle @FOXSports What does "define the tournament" even mean? Does it mean the most famous guys going in? The guys who will help their teams win the most? The guys who are most needed/can surprise? Because while it is a swan song for Messi and Ronaldo, they arent the best players anymore

@RobhRyan @FPL_Calle @FOXSports I get it. I just think people who complain about other people’s lists should volunteer their own. It’s easy to just be a critic. Hard to take a stance. So Olise is on your list. Good start.

@jsbrenna @FPL_Calle @FOXSports My man they have Doue who has 130 total minutes played for France and won't start or play much ahead of Olise, who is a nailed on starter and top 5 ballon d'or favorite.

@mentaldischarge @verbalriotshow The fans watched. That’s what made them fans.

@jsbrenna @verbalriotshow No, they really didn't. I pissed off a lot of troons who came the show's defense, yet couldn't demonstrate even the most basic knowledge of Star Trek under Alex Kurtzman.

"Starfleet Academy fans" 😂

@mm1872_ @kpwilkman @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Alright we will keep an eye on Scott

@jsbrenna @kpwilkman @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Scott McTominay.

@kpwilkman @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Do tell us the ones that will be relevant.

@jsbrenna @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Half of those players have zero relevance in the tournament, we all know that.

@RobhRyan @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Let’s see your list

@jsbrenna @FPL_Calle @FOXSports He didnt step up. He puked all over his homework and turned in a stinking pile of vomit.

@mentaldischarge @verbalriotshow They all did. That’s the point.

@verbalriotshow If they wanted to save the show, they should've watched it.

@Richard53160893 @FPL_Calle @FOXSports Let’s see your list. Real easy to mock others while hiding behind your parents’ couch.

@FPL_Calle @FOXSports Absolute comedy. USA absolute dog turd team yet somehow 3 players in the list🤣🤣🤣

@jk_rowling I am suspicious of any guy not wearing hoodie and shorts when the weather permits it. Which is most of the time.

I fear this might be my most controversial take ever, but I agreed to put it to a vote so here we are. Hoodies should only be worn by men young enough not to look silly carrying a skateboard.

@Erinmaguire Move?

I’d like to formally launch a personal campaign for sanity: major sporting events should start at a reasonable hour. 9:45pm tipoff is absurd and frankly past my bedtime. At some point “prime time” just becomes “why am I still awake.”

@FDSportsbook @BadSportsRefs 32 3pt attempts may explain why St John’s doesn’t get quite as many fouls?

Duke took 24 free throws in their game vs. St.John's ✍️ Sienna, TCU & St.John's took a COMBINED 24 free throws in their games vs. Duke 🤯 (via @BadSportsRefs)

@mysteriouskat 100%

Would you be willing to live in a surveillance state if it meant there would be no more crime?

@FoxNews 100% of games will be on broadcast if 100% of people just don’t pay for the walled stuff for like a year.

CRYING FOUL: A new FOX News poll finds 72% of sports fans think major sporting events should be required to stay on free broadcast television, not behind streaming paywalls. Nearly 6 in 10 sports fans say they’ve skipped watching a game at least a few times in the past year because it was too expensive, while nearly half of fans (47%) say they've skipped games because it was too difficult to find or access them.

@allie__voss No one. Though it is cool modern girls play flag football. Like that evolution.

I’m sorry, but if you’re a girl who grew up in the United States in the early 2000s….please be serious No one told you that

@SharpFootball Because adults matter for commercials and the west coast ones are a good size chunk? You know the answer Warren.

I rarely would say anything about this cause I'm personally a night owl... but... it's after 11:30pm on the east coast one Sweet Sixteen game is at halftime the other has 11 game minutes left no east coast kids get to watch the end of these great games, why make it like this

@Rory_Talks_Ball Yup this is the only fair take

Oh brilliant. Not even mad that he played, fighting for a spot at the World Cup Just bad luck, hopefully not too bad

@kachow_100 @TheFieldOf68 Also a fair point

@TheFieldOf68 Respect Rick. But this is a non issue he’s just complaining. Winning team has another game and is on the clock. Get them out of there faster 🤷‍♂️

Rick Pitino: not a fan of the NCAA postgame media protocols 😳 "You should let the losing team go first, and then let the winning team have as long as you want. Just a suggestion. You just left us hanging out there for over a half hour"

@TheFieldOf68 Fair take honestly
