ESPN had Ted Cruz on 'College GameDay' in a conversation with Rece Davis for nearly 10 minutes. Cruz was heavily booed by the crowd -- and heard "Ted, you suck!" chants -- in Austin.

I don’t know what this adoration of Lamine Yamal is… he’s young and good, but it seems people project their politics onto him. In any case, every time he handles the ball he goes for the most complicated thing he can think of and his team loses possession. Not a good thing.

Like always,the American need to inject their politics into everything ends up destroying them.US Soccer for sure was complicit in the blatant corruption at the WC and it was a distraction for the players who were humiliated in front of a loyal crowd.Lost the little respect they had from the world.

"He only did some amazing stuff during a pandemic and a Russian invasion of central Europe, and left one of the best economies in 35 years, but he didn't completely overhaul the Supreme Court." Also, he didn't vow to serve one term. Good Lord, some Democrats are impossible to please

Interesting that the difference in WC goals between Ronaldo and Messi is the 4 penalties Argentina was gifted in Qatar and the 3 goals Messi scored after he committed an obvious red card foul in which nothing was called.
