I don't ascribe to the second of those exceptions.

SiriusXMFC listeners appear to be very cool with this behavior and also see no problem with La Liga playing league matches in the US.

I am once again on my hill dying over my stance that wearing a jersey for a team that's not playing in the game you're attending is weirdo behavior and you should be shamed for it.

Talking about this on the radio and I think there's a real issue with player behavior when it comes to challenges. Players are programmed to claim they've been fouled and never back down. What are coaches supposed to do?

Tim Ostlund-Foss @timostlundfoss.bsky.social · 8h

Italy just wasted two (both of their allotted, I think) challenges on obviously correct no-calls that they thought should be penalties. the second was a blatant dive that frankly should have earned the player a yellow

Four months for Bad Bunny at the Super Bowl and four more for the World Cup. Vamos, puedes hacerlo si te esfuerzas.

Your reminder you have about 8 and a half months to work on your Spanish for the World Cup.

Drew VanderPloeg @alvanderp.bsky.social · 9h

Fox Sports continues to be the worst soccer rights holder in the US by a wide margin and that they are able to maintain their grip on this title while Paramount+ exists is an unbelievable commitment to ineptitude.

I've gotten confirmation of this - Argentina vs. Puerto Rico is being relocated OUT of Chicago due to ongoing upheaval caused by ICE, National Guard.

Mailbox: Event promoters say that the friendly between Argentina and Puerto Rico for Oct 13 has been moved to Ft. Lauderdale for 10/14

No notice on socials or website from promoters or AFA.

Tickets remain on sale at pretty astronomical prices on Ticketmaster's website

The way they so casually justify all this stuff. Everything is excusable when principles are malleable.

The “deserve to watch” line can be used across multiple different continent. As it inevitably will be over the coming years.

Johnson: "It's true that in previous shutdowns, many or most furloughed employees have been paid for the time they were furloughed, but there is new legal analysis - I don't know the details, I just saw a headline - but there are some legal analysts saying that might not be appropriate or necessary"

There’s an essay to be written about how maga patriotism is just shitty fandom. Anyone who follows sports knows fans like this, it’s always the ref’s fault, the other team doesn’t exist, there’s some plot/player/coach holding the team back otherwise they’d always win easy bsky.app/profile/atru...

Trump: "The problem with Vietnam, we, you know, we stopped fighting to win. We would've won easy. We would've won Afghanistan easy. We would've won every war easy. But we got politically correct. 'Oh, let's take it easy.' We're not politically correct anymore, just so you understand."
