@nobodyknows2322 Tbh does anyone else find it weird that the only get mad about Netanyahu and not Putin?
English
This is all leftist politics is now

Mamdani: AIPAC, for whom the only thing more frightening than democracy being allowed to run its course is an end to genocide in Netanyahu's wars.

@Harryruth32 @bdquinn What are they going to do to make life better?
English
@bdquinn Yes - and emphasize bread & butter issues, how am I going to make life better for you. Keep as far away as possible from the activist groups.
English
The formula for Dems winning big in swing states is to be basically a nonparticipant in the culture wars and being just a touch left of center on fiscal and economic issues.
Joe@electionsjoe
DOES THAT SAY D +22 PENNSYLVANIA???!!!
English
@Lowblockparty @njh287 Then what difference would it make if they posted them?
English
@JTansey90 All 4 of these matches are really important. Both Chechia and South Africa NEED a win. Group 3 is all up in the air and winning path will open tomorrow. Mexico South Korea will be the game of the day.
English
I’ve been taught to never judge a book by its cover, but you’re gonna have to me convince me a bit that tomorrow is going to be a fun World Cup day.
English
@NTWANfc @AlexiLalas The new people watching the game have no idea what top class European style football is. They do not know the stars and what quality games look like. They have seen close emotional games this week. This is a fucking stupid analogy. The viewership should drop off, right?
English
@WashedPolicy @AlexiLalas Yes, and Star Wars The Force Awakens was the most successful at the box office but it destroyed the franchise because tons of new people saw it and concluded Star Wars was just trash.
English
It’s happening. Simpler, fairer, cleaner…and more lucrative.
Nate Silver@NateSilver538
Here's what a 64-team format would look like, based on who came closest to qualifying but didn't this year. Actually a fair amount of quality: Italy, Nigeria, Ukraine, etc.
English
@Hareega_Blog @AlexiLalas This was a great opening round for the tournament.
English
@AlexiLalas Do you realize that WC qualifications happen over 2 years. TWO YEARS just so we can have the best of the best in the WC not a third of the world there. Reduce teams to 32
English
@ABakiera @AlexiLalas I'm not joking, I think this would actually be the best way to do it. Do away with qualifiers and groups and every eligible country is in an FA Cup style elimination tournament.
English
@AlexiLalas Yeah why stop there? Let's just invite every team in the world and have a 4 month long tournament.
English
@FerdndVII @AlexiLalas Except they are setting new records for viewership totals. What are you even talking about?
English
@AlexiLalas Cleaner? Fairer?
We will have to start watching the World Cup at quarter finals.
English
@AlexiLalas Diluting the quality of the entertainment for a short term financial gain is a sure way of destroying the World Cup brand that FIFA has worked so hard to build.

@nonotesnone @Pro__Ant I love football, I watch leagues all across the world. This was a big deal. Don’t pretend that it is not this was huge.
English
@Pro__Ant This is very very normal in football though, no one is surprised, it’s not what anyone expected or predicted but it’s not a shocking result at all, expect more upsets, this is how football works
English
I don’t think there’s a big enough sports analogy to properly get folks to comprehend Spain and Cabo Verde tying in this World Cup
English
@MattWalshBlog What do either electric cars or rockets do for me?
English
Correct. The people on SNAP are about a billion times worse for the country than the guy building rocket ships and electric cars.
Ally Sammarco@Ally_Sammarco
Elon Musk is a trillionaire but it’s def the people on SNAP ruining your life
English
@AlexiLalas @rpatts82 Not at all set time like this. It kills the momentum of the game.
English
@rpatts82 So you don't think players should be given an opportunity to hydrate?
English
I have no problem with hydration breaks. It benefits players and advertisers. Win/win. Yes, it changes how you play/coach/watch, but so did substitutions, 3 pts for win, VAR, etc. Evolve and adapt. There will be a generation whose version of the beautiful game includes quarters.
OB's Air Horn@OBs_Air_Horn
Hey @AlexiLalas, after playing in the Silverdome where it was a 90 degree greenhouse, what are your feelings on the hydration break? I hate it, but will defer to a player's opinion.
English
@olajideadesola3 @1882spurs1 If they are making money then that means enough people find value in the expanded format. I think the water breaks are bad and stupid though
English
@1882spurs1 FIFA is greedy. They don't care about competiton. It is all about making money. Even the so called water breaks is a money making scheme to go to comercials. It was obious there will be score lines like Germany 7 Curacio 1.
English
@chrisjlatimer And no matter how it turned out, Curacao's goal was absolute scenes and a special enjoyable moment.
English
Germany winning 7-1 today is why I think the world cup has been devalued.
No disrespect to Curacao they shouldn't be in the elite tournament in world football
English
@chrisjlatimer @millerjj660 That's worse. You can see how that's worse, right?
English
@millerjj660 In a semi final

@Campjellyjamm @VenusxToxical @EndWokeness I mean I agree with you. I don't care about how this takes away from anything or anything. I just personally do not think anything in this was that cool. It was like for the dumbest guy who I went to high school with and that's fine. It's like the Barbie movie. Just not for me.
English
@VenusxToxical @WashedPolicy @EndWokeness There's a time for seriousness and there's a time for play. Dont play the fool. There is literally nothing wrong with celebrating a countries birthday and patriotism
