I like Belgium’s cute little trans pride uniforms

"this is karmic" - @abigailhiggins.bsky.social

of all the onscreen Holmes and Watsons, I do think the Enola Holmes version are among the most likely to have explored each other’s bodies I really enjoy these movies

And shipp’d from thence to Flanders?

Such an embarrassing way to to go out

if you want to know if there are any aussies in a 5 mile radius, just read this aloud

The area right in front of Belgium’s box is our Verdun

because every great story needs comic relief characters, the world cup is a great story, and the team that turns bring it home into a national slogan every 4 years only to bring the team home emptyhanded without fail is the Mercuito of the sport

Maybe my world is cooler than yours, Rob.

Time to front run by switching back to cheering for our women’s team

grudging respect to the creepy evil nepo twin subs

“Smooth groin.” “HR lady politics” just say you hate women and go, this is taking forever

there's this one sports anime i really like, it's about bike racing. dozens of times throughout the series, a character delivers this line as the culmination of a dramatic dialogue: whoever crosses the finish line first, wins

Fox broadcast this WC has been so over the top jingoistic I shudder to think how they cover war

Women’s World Cup is about 11 months away. FYI.

at the editing stage where I feel like I am writing response papers to myself

A red flag even in the way he's handling this.

About as bad a goal to concede as there could be

Nobody sage cleaned the place, obviously.

Nobody safe cleaned the space, clearly.

i still laugh at how “never gonna give you up” retroactively became an 80s classic because of a meme about how bad it is

ok well that was a pretty cool tournament for a while there for us

This was over for me with the tattoo, but it definitely should have been over for anyone who sincerely believes in the equality of women and marginalized genders when we heard that he forcibly locked his ex in a closet. That some people needed even more than that tells on them.

Tielemans' haircut too strong

watched a Belgian fan say "we have been making beer centuries longer than they have been a country" and ykw, fair play

One of my favorite things about soccer is that the ball can go a little bit out of bounds and it's fine everybody's cool about it.

I have a general rule of thumb: never, ever compare a white man to Emmett Till or Dr. King. Especially if they haven’t been murdered. And especially if they have a Nazi tattoo

Pochettino at halftime:

do it as gas prices USA 5.03- Belgium 14.16

So... the Michelob Ultra man of the match... must be the worst player on the pitch, yes?

unpopular opinion: at this point rooting against the US is such a uniting factor for every other fanbase that we need them on a run or our new coalition will fracture

Tonight the child was so unhappily constipated that on the advice of the pediatrician we took her to the children’s ER. Well, almost. Because as we were literally waiting on the light to turn into the driveway, there was…a series of noises. And an odor

he was the tattooist wasn't he

The US defense is pretty bad. Breakdowns in marking Belgian players and too reactive, flatfooted.

okay so the last ten minutes of the half were much improved and since Malik Tillman kept us in the match there's actually a possibility to turn this ship around. McKennie and Adams have been good defensively but until we can hold the ball we're gonna keep getting worked.

brother they are kicking a pig bladder around in footwraps made of cow skin

Having a dead guy in the senate feels like a metaphor for the whole institution

I need Alexi Lalas on camera 1

American innovation continues to lead the world in the field of “hey what if this thing tasted like some other thing”

FIFA intervened in a red card decision to do political favours, then when Belgium asked for reasoning they called that an appeal and denied it and now they're trying to charge Belgium a grand for filing an appeal lololol Infantino doesn't just look like a Disney villain, he studies their process

Watching this game in some random Irish bar in Brooklyn and just realized they’ve got a photo of Rory McIlroy in his green jacket in a place of honor (the photo slideshow of regulars and drink specials running on a sideways TV on the wall)

Yes, a mighty change had come over the fish.

what football could use is more tennis scoring. Belgium leads 40-30

Belgium cheating again by scoring goals

Star of a TV show run by a monster, at 1 point, heard EVERYTHING & more from credible & voluminous reporting on said monster (incldg some facts not published) He considered & said "we don't throw people overboard," illuminating that all the people *already* thrown overboard were invisible to him.

if your plan to better society with your politics or your attempt to illuminate the human condition with your art requires the constant sacrifice of human bodies and minds on the altars of those ambitions, I'm gonna have questions about those first two things.

I have no interest in the World Cup but love seeing everyone's World Cup posts

quick question: what's goin on in this match

See! And now ’tis up again.

There's been so much misogyny embedded in defenses and celebrations of Platner, and now we're seeing that ugliness hit its pointless, embarrassing climax, as some liberal men publicly argue that credible rape allegations should be shrugged off.

MALIK TILLMAN IS A FUCKIN DOG. LETS GO

nothing but respect for my president, Malik Tillman

I am most infinitely tied.

MALIK YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME

i forgot to repost this very good joke during the actual match so please appreciate it now thank you

all these ball non knowers talking about shot quality when the only quality needed for the US to win is quality of cell service

berserk is a good comic

just fucking cross the ball, we clearly haven't earned confidence or composure on their side of the field yet!

FIFA has suspended the goal, score is now 0-0, play on

JULY 9: We’re inviting STL’s youth to join us for our Youth For Cori kickoff rally! We’ll have special guest speakers, artists, fun, and community. Bring your friends, your family, and come out and get involved.

next 20 minutes are key. you already see Adams and McKennie moving deeper in both directions, trying to take responsibility for the match. if they can restore composure to the buildup play then there's a path to equalizing. if not they should maybe just park the bus and panicball into the half

she was an unmitigated asshole with the temperament of Oliver Reed on a 4 day bender. But also yes she really was. One of one.

damn hope Onana's injury isn't too serious, not that I'm an Aston Villa apologist

if you're gonna embrace the villain role you cannot go out there looking like Aunt Gladys miscalculated her edible dosage

this is a great post after listening to fans and the actual broadcast crew(just embarassing) chanting We Want Waffles for like 10 min in the pregame show

💚 If you ever think we keep doing the same shit over and over again regarding abuse, assault & misconduct, Burn It Down is my attempt to explain why those patterns persist & what we can do about them (a lot!) It's about Hollywood, but here is my not-that-hidden agenda: It's about everywhere 🔥

The waffles really seem to have our number

RIP Old Cat 5th may 2007- 6th July 2026

Belgium to US fans so far

US needs to find the golden mean between the panicball they are playing now and the uncball that has plagued other teams this tournament

We are, as they say, currently getting cooked.

It would be more honest to say this, just be like “the bloody sock was real and this is fake”

USMNT midfield getting chewed up right now

In the meantime, Laura Loomer has called someone brain dead who’s not Laura Loomer. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I am reading your replies that are said in this manner in the same way I read press releases from organizations I have never contacted and do not care about, as in, I am not

2 shots on goal in the first 2 minutes...

your moment of relative calm

an election is a job interview to become one of the most powerful people in the country. he is “innocent until proven guilty” in that no one can throw him in jail without a trial. it doesn’t mean “you are legally obligated to give him the job he wants and he can’t ever face a single consequence”

They got Brian Kemp coaching the Belgian soccer team

The Folarin Balogun debacle is a reminder that in FIFA, as in the Supreme Court, the rules on paper and the rules in practice are not the same thing ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

I think the US coach should not honor the overturned red card. This is all tainted.

wrote about law imitating sports imitating law imitating ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

thank you FIFA for somehow allowing me to write about *different* corrupt judicial body granting an emergency petition from Donald Trump ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...

Great piece, thank u @sesmith.lol. I appreciated all of it-- context & history &evolving tactics--& discussion of whimsy. I dressed for a special ICE protest at Broadview in icy silver cape &that didn't stop me from unleashing a spicy ICE rant [if game, min32:24 here] www.youtube.com/watch?v=ES1v...

I can’t imagine regarding my deeply checkered, to put it mildly, past and persuading myself that my best possible next step—my destiny, even—is to run for the US Senate in a year in which American democracy hangs in the balance, but then again I’m not a straight white man.

Never stops being disorienting when people who you knew as fetuses do things like get signed to a label to put an album out or whatever even if one is technically aware of how linear time works

Even the bots are tired.

Stop judging me, box. I’ve had a long week.

a thousand ships seems low

a victim's statement is evidence.

Well the search for the "Left" Joe Rogan who can also win elections by running continues apace.

the appearance of solidarity among these lib/left men thru an admiration for this kind of masculinity too is on my mind

oh for the love of exhibit 39248320 why when someone has a Nazi tattoo, you don't need to wait and see what else is behind the tattoo!

continue to think that planter’s support with the lib/left male pundit class was not *in spite of* his various transgressions, but because of them, a frankly pathetic attempt to reassert dem masculinity through a man whose violent career they believed represented working class authenticity
