I am certain that decades in the future people will insist various Messi clips are AI.

The original answer to the question: What if we cast a tv show filled top to bottom with f*cking ballers?

I like the amazing scorers (Mbappe, Haaland, etc.) like everybody else. But holy cow is Michael Olise good.

I will forever stan Jordan Henderson for captaining Liverpool to its first EPL title in 30 years…but good lord this is funny.

It’s funny, people will remember Bellingham’s two goals but will forget that he was absolutely everywhere on the pitch, defending with an intensity and tirelessness that boggled the mind. I’m a neutral, but that was an insane individual performance by Jude Bellingham.

Bellingham was unbelievable in that match. A monster performance.

This Mexico -England match is really boring SAID NO ONE

How did the English smuggle their weather past customs

I tried to go to a popular DFW soccer pub for England - Mexico. I got there 90 minutes early. Line was an hour long to get in! Not surprised, just reporting on, you know, WORLD CUP FEVER

The red card was ludicrous and Flo deserves to play. FIFA has the explicit power to do this, it’s in the rules and they did it re Ronaldo. That said, I’m dying for some reporter to get the full backstory on this.

Teams at the 2026 WC who weren’t beating Paraguay at halftime: France Germany Australia Turkiye Teams that were: USMNT

France and Paraguay both honoring the game location (Philly) by chirping and getting chippy

Brendan S. Maher @brendansmaher.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Canada much better than Morocco (a top ten team in the world) that half, but scoreline is 0-0.

Why, yes, I will celebrate the Fourth by drinking a fine local ale and watching soccer and wearing a shirt that says “Please Insert Sandwich,” why do you ask

With respect, I feel it more intensely than ever. I’m not going to let cosplaying half-wits, masked goons, corrupt grifters, or fake tough guys claim America’s mantle or holidays. No way, no how.

Hasn’t really been institutions or big business that‘ve resisted authoritarianism. It’s been stubborn everyday Americans who know this ain’t how America should be. Wine moms, union members, comedians, students, grand juries, Jersey guys. These patriots are the real heirs of the Greatest Generation.

Happy Birthday, America! Democracy. Freedom. Rule of Law. Washington. Lincoln. Frederick Douglass. FDR. King. Yorktown. Gettysburg. Belleau Wood. Omaha Beach. Sea of Tranquility. We’re not a perfect country, but we‘ve got a hell of a highlight reel. /1

Absolutely insane that Cape Verde — a country of 500,000 — played Spain, Uruguay and Argentina…and lost to none of them in regulation. Easily one of the greatest performances in World Cup history.

For YEARS I‘ve listened to English fans run down CONCACAF: “JV,” ”Sunday league,” etc. Good luck at the Azteca on Sunday, England. You have *no idea* what is in store for you.

USMNT wins 2-0 after a ludicrous red card. It’s staggering how bad that call was. It was an obvious accidental slip.

Brendan S. Maher @brendansmaher.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

The ref refused to give multiple yellows against Bosnia and then red cards an obviously accidental play. Unbelievable and indefensible.

Brendan S. Maher @brendansmaher.bsky.social · 02/07/2026

A ridiculous red card. Outrageous.

Belgium comes back! 2-2. WOW After taking off KDB and Doku!

England takes the lead! Two goals from Harry Kane, and the second was a beauty. What a match this has been.

Brendan S. Maher @brendansmaher.bsky.social · 01/07/2026

England need this hydration break! They’re behind and have lost their composure.

DR Congo 1, England 0. First time the English have been behind in this World Cup!

El Tri totally dominated a solid Ecuador team that first half. Azteca ecstatic.

Mexico 2, Ecuador 0. What is currently most likely - England v Mexico at the Azteca - will be a helluva game. Eurosnobs beware!!!

Well, that was quite a day of knockout matches: Brazil beats Japan with stoppage time winner! Paraguay beats Germany on penalties! Morocco beats Netherlands on penalties! Rock on, World Cup.
