FIFA really leaned in hard to "US consumers are used to paying premium prices for events" but didn't consider that most US Soccer fans A: Are not millionaires, and B: Curious US Soccer fans don't consider our national team to be a premium product

They will wait until the last possible moment for dynamic pricing to go in the opposite direction

Good lord, Wemby contests the shot, gets the rebound, the ball handling is unbelievable and finishes it with a spin and dunk.

FIFA is really hoping that international fans were willing to cave to absurd ticket prices to travel here, under this administration, to watch these games.
Nothing is obligating those fans to come here, so this will be a massive own goal by FIFA and the cities have to wear the egg on their faces 😑

But Doyle... his leadership!! 🤪

Instead of "hoof it up to the big lad" it's "hoof it up there to the fast lads"

Real Madrid vs Bayern is by far the drunkest game of the knockout phase so far

Taking out Ware when Bam is already out was inexcusable

100000%. Even if the photos were out of context, being a journalist means there are lines that others can cross professionally that journos can't in order to maintain a neutral integrity.
Like as a pastor, if I locked fingers with someone other than my wife like the did, that's still inappropriate 😅

You can tell what my education was in 🤣🤣

+ NFL Draft sprinkled in for good measure

🤢🤢🤢

About making the most money rather than determining the best basketball team

Are there any domestic or available CBs abroad that would fit that profile that come to mind?

He's good for at least one of these per season

I'd be curious about your take on the midfield, specifically Morris and Berhalter, and then Tessmann off the bench

After this performance he's 100% someone who I'd leave home this summer. He's been a step too slow to react to situations and hasn't offered enough in the build up

No one thought to guard the top of the box on that Portugal corner? Not a single soul?

Central but underneath a striker?

Has there ever been a more obvious Purdue player in the transfer portal?

Regarding the CBs: Who else would potentially come to the rescue by 2030 besides Banks?

You may be joking, but that was a terrible coaching job of not informing the players of the situation and their options - like not even having to get the ball across half-court and the game just ends.
Scheyer could be a good recruiter but a crap coach 🤷🏼‍♂️

He's had several long stretches of good health. They just happen to not align with International windows 😅

Tyler Adams and Chris Richards: Stock up today 😳

That's at least the narrative I've heard. I can't fully validate that but it's certainly a common sentiment 😂

Kevin McGonigle is HIM

Disappears in big games frequently

But they are 100% all in the spirit of Bill Simmons

His ability to go cross-genre and cover sports and film/TV/pop-culture, and the way that he stirs those conversations, is unmatched. No one else could cultivate that kind of community 🤌🏻

New Caledonia-Jamaica underway in Guadalajara, a clash of tropical islands as well as two elite flags.

Technically NC falls under the French tricolor as an 'overseas territory,' but the 'Kanak flag' is widely used. That symbol is a flèche faîtière ('carved rooftop spear'), analogous to a totem pole
