Usmaan Dembele is unreal. How does he do that? 🫪

The French are hitting their stride. These guys are scary good, almost like a World XI.

Oops, perhaps the defense should know Norwegians other than Haaland can kick too. #WorldCup

Well, at least that wasn’t a do-or-die game #WorldCup

Maybe it’s time to make all five substitutions at halftime for the U.S. This is simply unbearable to watch #WorldCup

Türkiye is playing like this is the first time they’re playing as a team #WorldCup

Gosh! Group F definitely has some banger goals. I’m glad three teams are going through #WorldCup

Fantastic goal by Japan. I continue to believe they’re the best coordinated team in this #WorldCup. Rebecca Lowe may be on to something when she termed them dark horses for this tournament.

Fantastic comeback by Ecuador. But seems like Germany’s not really trying.

Now Ronaldo joins the ‘26 #WorldCup party. Both excellent goals.

Man, having Halaand up front is like a cheat code #WorldCup

Looks like Messi is going to win this #WorldCup for Argentina instead of the other way around. Five goals already and all-time top World Cup scorer. Whatay legend!

Fantastic draw for Cape Verde. Almost had the win toward the end. #WorldCup

This NED-SWE game is turning out exactly as I hoped it would. Full frontal offense by both teams #WorldCup

What a goal! Morocco is special #WorldCup

Swiss are trying to have neutral ties with their opponents #WorldCup

I wish that screamer by Uzbekistan in the final seconds had gone in #WorldCup

And of course Luis Diaz to the rescue for Colombia #WorldCup

Ha! Uzbeks caught the Colombians napping #WorldCup

France is not going to win the #WorldCup with this kinda sloppy play

Fantastic strike by Egypt. Takes something special to beat Courtois #WorldCup

No game so far has ended in a 0-0 tie and I’ll be damned if it turns out to be the ESP-CPV game #WorldCup

Yasmin ‘Bangers Only’ Ayari. Quite a drubbing for Tunisia #WorldCup

So apparently Isak can score #WorldCup

That poor crossbar

Ecuador has been impressive with its offense. Don’t remember them being this good in previous editions. #WorldCup

That was one heck of a game though # WorldCup

Damn! Japan proving the commentators wrong on going for the headers #WorldCup

Van Djik FTW #WorldCup

Contrary to our fears, the stadiums have been full with raucous fans. Even Curaçao has 6K fans in the stadium #WorldCup

Oh well, I’m just glad Curaçao got to celebrate that one goal #WorldCup

Let’s see if Curaçao can avoid the Brazil 2014 score line #WorldCup

Curaçao!!!! The stadium was so damn loud. #WorldCup

Curaçao is a Caribbean island country and a constituent country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, located off the coast of Venezuela as part of the "ABC islands" (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao).

And its population might be as much as the zip code we live in. #WorldCup

Congratulations to Mamdani.

The first ‘real’ match of the #WorldCup 🇧🇷🇲🇦

Switzerland are to blame for letting Qatar equalize. Too complacent #WorldCup

4-1 That was a fantastic start to the #WorldCup for USMNT

Man, #USMNT is on 🔥 #WorldCup

The #USMNT has surprisingly been good offensively so far and this early #WorldCup

Let’s go! #USMNT #WorldCup

Korea be like Seabiscuit. Needed to fall behind so they can go ahead. #WorldCup

How many more chances are you going to miss, Korea?

Thirty minutes to go. Can’t help but feel excited for the World Cup 🎉

Wow! Just checked the score after last checking it at halftime. Did the Knicks really comeback from 25 points down in the NBA finals??

The ultimate set pieces is how Arsenal is going win this #ChampionsLeague

And now it gets interesting #ChampionsLeague

Here we go! #ChampionsLeague

Two seasons. One of which was a PL title. Not enough for Arne Slot to keep his job at Anfield. Let the speculations begin.

And somehow #TOT survives being relegated. Mostly coz others also sucked but just slightly less so.

ManC bottling it for a change so unfortunately even if #LIV manage to sneak one in, we’ve to settle for 5th. Considering how awful the season was, it could’ve been worse.

Sigh! Fifth place it is #LIV

Apparently ManU also suffers anxiety from being 2-0 up 🫠

Atleti and Arsenal be like, nahi pehle aap. By this time, Paris and Bayern already had a goal each.

Man, Paris and Bayern should’ve been in the final but this way, we at least get two games between these two phenomenal sides.

#LIV can move to 4th but the lead is 2-0 and we know how that goes

Arsenal 🍼🤦🏽‍♂️

Just caught the highlights of Liverpool’s exit from UCL. Paris is scary good. Also, looking at players in other European clubs in UCL, it would be crazy if France didn’t win the World Cup

Uh-oh! #ARS bottling it?

OMG! Just read the news. Italy! 😝Third straight miss even after they expanded the WC

If you think your EPL team is doing badly, know that Leicester City may be relegated from the Championship League as well 😳

Man, the La Liga teams are totally dominating the EPL teams.

Frikkin’ can’t even hold a lead against Tottenham 😡 #LIV

Now THAT was a fantastic match with a great atmosphere in the stadium and great on-field camaraderie & respect. SL nearly pulled it off.

Perhaps Suryakumar should try not shaking hands with South Africans if they want to beat them next time.

Bad start for an already high target for India. Being in weaker group in the first round now comes back to bite.

Well, fuck 😤 #LIV

Boom boom Szoboszlai!

Solanke revitalizing a surprisingly resurgent #TOT against #MCI. Love it.

Now that’s how you win a PL game #LIV

Konaté deserved that. Happy for him

I’m seeing flashes of good ‘ol #LIV brilliance in this game

Although this #MANU win is bad for #LIV LOL at #ARS imploding as usual.

This #MANU - #ARS match is quite a humdinger after starting slow.

Even #LIV is making my life miserable 😞

Congratulations, Indiana! That was a fantastic unbeaten season.

This EPL season is crazy. Who would’ve thought #MANU would’ve beat #MANC two-nil

TAMU expectedly chokes in its first playoff game after a near-perfect season.

Starting in 2026, all Major League Soccer broadcasts and exclusive programming will be part of an Apple TV subscription* — at no additional cost.

This is going to help me watch more MLS. I think I’ve watched more MLS in the stadium than on TV 😆

Uh-oh! #LIV now up 2-0. Sometimes wish they could go directly 3-0 up or stay at 1-0

Which is the Group of Death in this World Cup? For me, it’s a toss up between Group F, I, or L.

Man, so close. But story of the season. Defense under pressure absolutely crumbles. They could’ve been ranked 5th with a win. #LIV

Wait, was that a win by #LIV? And you get three whole points ? Who would’ve thunk!

Well, that’s it for the Aggies.

What a get Eze has been for #ARS and shining especially against #TOT

#ARS seem unstoppable.

On the bright side, ManCity also lost today

#LIV is unraveling rapidly. Sigh!

How is #TAMU losing to SC? Choke in progress?

Sigh! Maybe it’s early but looks like the title race is between Arsenal and ManCity

That was a fantastic game! Sunderland’s both goals were masterful

Both #TOT and #MANU cock up chances to be placed second on the table. But MANU got the last half-hearted laugh.

Lose to Brentford. Beat Real Madrid. That’s #LIV for you 😅🤷🏽‍♂️

What’s that strange symbol next to #LIV? Look like a W. Haven’t seen that in a while.

Thank you, Martinez #LIV

Who else wants 3 points coz #LIV is handing them out every week? Maybe a saving grace that I can’t watch this coz fuckin’ NBC puts all of their games on USA Network

Something tells me #LIV is not winning the league this year 🤬

Mateta could’ve sealed that one with his fourth. An astounding match!

#LIV losing to a club whose name I love to say out loud #UEFA

Suryakumar Yadav should focus on his batting first instead of on not shaking hands.

Boring game but perfect result for #LIV

#ARS not gonna win by playing like that.

#BHA producing some impressive goals especially the one by Ayari, against #TOT

Happy for Rashford getting two for Barca

#LFC should never be 2-0 up

YNWA #LFC

45 minutes left for any hope of Izak being a Red #LFC

Phew! Those were the three points I wanted #LFC

That’s it, #LFC, just don’t go 2-0 up.

SZOBOSZLAI! #LFC

Not sure why they bother with pre-season #CFB rankings. It’s all vibe-based anyway and gets shaken up after the first week.

What is a Grimsby Town and how does #ManU manage to lose to them too?

What’s the deal with blowing a two-goal lead, #LFC? Are all 38 matches gonna give us heart attacks?

The fall and fall of City 😝

#ManU having last-mile problems

Ekitike’s first goal for #LFC. Also, Liverpool’s for the season. Too bad I can’t watch coz it’s on frikkin USA Network.

OMG! India won the fifth test! Whatay an epic series. Great cricket all round.

Jeez! That was frikkin close 😔

Fantastic win by India at Edgbaston. All hail the new captain for leading from the front with a massive 430 in two innings.

Oh no! Diego Jota. RIP

Congrats to South Africa on winning the World Test Championship. Or rather, for winning something and not choking.

That’s a whopping! 5-0 Crazy #PSG #UCL

#PSG is gonna win #UCL. Something they didn’t even with Messi, Mbappe, and Neymar on their squad. These young ‘uns are crazy fast

That was fantastically orchestrated by #PSG and perfect finish by Hakimi

Who’s ready for the UCL final?

All bow to the Egyptian king! #LFC What a season for Mo Salah. I’m glad he’s staying.

The balloons 🎈 are in a better defense formation that the #LFC players. C’mon! We need to end the season with a win.

It’s gonna be very hard to find Waldo at Anfield today. Glorious atmosphere!

Happy Last Day of the Premier League season to those who celebrate. It has been a wild ride!

Congratulations to Crystal Palace for not giving City anything to celebrate this year

Farewell, King Kohli. Technically perfect and swashbuckling, Kohli is India’s best batter so far and took Indian cricket to heights scaled never before.

Dang it! So close. #LIV - #ARS. But no excuse for giving up a two goal lead.

How bad are the other leagues if these #TOT and #MAN teams are battling it out in the Europa League final?

Gonna be a travesty if #NFO won’t get a spot in Champions League but #MAN or #TOT do especially in a year when EPL gets six spots!

Kane finally won a trophy.

Brentford absolutely destroying #MUN

Amazing comeback by Barça. Even without Lewandowski. Yamal is a treasure!

WTF! I tune into the game just 40 seconds late and I’ve already missed a goal #UEFA

WOO HOO! Premier League Champions once again #LFC

And now 5! Via a self-goal. It’s a shooting gallery now #LFC

And it’s only fitting that Salah breaks his drought #LIV

Now Gakpo joins the party 🎉 #LFC

Now we cookin’ McAllister FTW #LFC

An equalizer! Would’ve preferred to score first but I’ll take it #LFC

LET’S GO #LFC

You better Baleba that goal 🤯 #BHA

Just one point away now 🙌🏽 #LFC

#LFC crawling to the Premier League title. Salah going without a goal for a long time may be the reason.

#ARS definitely flying this year in the Champions League

Relief rather than celebration has been the hallmark of #LIV victories (even draws) as they drag themselves to the title.

#TOT is determined to lose this game, right? Never seen such atrocious defending including from the goalkeeper

I’ll admit - those Declan Rice free kicks were peerless

When did #MANU and #MANC derby get so boring?

WTF! #LFC 😦

Gunners making it easy for me to breathe easier #LFC

Yup! #LIV is not winning this 😒 Both were excellent goals by #NEW

Well, shit #LFC But admittedly #PSG was excellent

Penalties always a cruel way to decide this exciting pair of matches #LIV #PSG

BRUNOOOO!

I’m glad #LIV got over those initial jitters and put this game away. One step closer!

Thirteen points clear at the top, baby #LFC

And that’s a wrap. Job well done #LFC

And just like that it’s 2-0. #LFC seems to be back in their groove.

Third-highest goal scorer in #LFC history #Salah. I hope he stays on and watches the fans build umpteen statues of him.

Woo hoo! Leading at the Etihad is a great way to start. Salah FTW

Ha! This Saturday gets better #CHE-#AVL

Now tomorrow’s game will decide if #LFC can prove us wrong that it’s not a case of the nervous 90s (mixing sports metaphors).

Woo hoo! One of the reason I’m more confident about #LFC’s chances this year is because #ARS is second 😆

In worse news, #LFC drew against Aston Villa indicating that they’re in their nervous 90s but we still have 12 games to go 🫣

In good news, ManC got knocked out of Champions League. In bad news, Real Madrid advanced looking quite strong.

The quality of football in this MANU-TOT match is atrocious.

Why the hell is #LFC defense struggling against Wolves 🤬

C’mon, Newcastle. You gotta punch in once

Bellingham FTW against ManC. Whatever the outcome of this matchup, we can enjoy the feeling that one of them will not advance.

Congratulations, Eagles 🦅You showed the Chiefs how groveling before a fascist and then losing in front of him can be so sweet.

PS. Jalen doesn’t Hurt anymore

The Birds are blowing away Mahomes’ magic 🦅

Siri went crazy in our home when the commentators screamed the Eagles’ coach’s name.

Two sacks and an interception has to be the worst three consecutive plays for a quarterback 😝

Liverpool losing to Plymouth in the FA Cup fourth round 😳

Marcus Rashford to Aston Villa. I say, good for him.

I want #ARS to lose (or draw) so they don't catch up to us, but watching #MCI lose is always a pleasure

Another win for #LIV in the books and against a resurgent Bournemouth

#LFC flying today. Considering the opposition, I wasn't expecting any less. It would've been a problem if they hadn't.

I should've been watching the Barcelona - Benefica instead of the Liverpool game. Crazy!

But an exciting game. As they say in cricket, soccer was the winner ⚽️ #LIVvMU

phew! Now let's run up the score ⚽️ #LIVvMU

Now hoping Chelsea will lose or at least draw against Brentford to cap yet another good week for #LFC

ManC collapsing 😍

Great penalty, Brunooooo!

Good for NoFo. Not surprising for #LFC fans who have suffered their only loss this season against them.

Frikkin' Spurs can't keep a 2-0 lead and instead are somehow down 2-3 in the 74th minute. But typical of Spurs so why am I surprised?

Tottenham up 2 - 0 within ten minutes against Chelsea. This is turning out to be a great week for #LFC

Arsenal drops points against Fulham. Great news for #LFC 🙌🏽

Loving this year for City 😆

Woo hoo! 2-0 up against City #LFC

Madrid in UEFA while we're in Madrid hits different 🙌🏽

Ipswich City gets its first major win at the expense of Spurs. I'm not complaining. Now, onto the game of the week - Arsenal v. Chelsea.

hoo! Five points clear on the top of the table ⚽️ #LFC

they win 3-0 🙌🏽⚽️

kid is the center back and wearing the captain's arm band for today's game ⚽️ He's basically Virgil Van Dijk for Kealing and doing just as good.

I haven't been following cricket lately. But India lost a home Test series to New Zealand 3-0 and because of Indian batters falling to spin?! What's going on in the subcontinent?

ManC and Arsenal lose, and Liverpool win. The kid's soccer made me miss the best day for #LFC Top of the table we go!

Too bad for Erik ten Hag but it was inevitable after the start ManU has had this season.

Phew! I'll take the draw #LIV #ARS

Once again, frikkin' ManCity. I mean, how many times can they be lucky?

What's with the kids at Tennessee lighting up cigars after a win?

OMG! This #BHA comeback against #TOT has been brilliant.

🗳️ A Harris ad (in Spanish) on Tele Mundo in halftime of an English Premier League game. Not sure if it was a national ad or a Texas ad.

Good for Vandy

Ipswich has been impressive in this game against Aston Villa. Their last goal was a great example of skill and control.

Arsenal is where ManC were last week against Arsenal

Shit! So close. Frikkin ManCity.

frikkin awesome goal by #ARS. Not sure what ManC are protesting

The season is over before it got started 😒 #LFC

Lucky seven for Salah at Old Trafford 👏🏽 And almost an eighth

Now we cookin'. Luiz Diaz FTW

Finally a goal that will stand #LIVvMANU

Maybe it doesn't want to come home

Sigh! This game hasn't been what I expected it to be. Hopefully the second half is better

In a way I'm happy to see Darwin Nunez miss absolute sitters even for his home country. So it's not just something in Liverpool

Now THAT was a fantastic header! Game level #Euro2024

Two #Euro2024 QFs during the day and two #COPA2024 QFs in the evening. I guess we aren't supposed to get anything done today

Two #Euro2024 QFs during the day and two #COPA2024 QFs in the evening. I guess we aren't supposed to get anything done today

One of the best things in contemporary soccer is how players with last names, such as Konaté and Hernandez, are part of the French team. Likewise with other European teams. The game is better off because of this.

Adios Germany! You didn't score when it mattered with some easy chances so much deserved #Euro2024

Ecuador nearly upset Argentina in the dying minutes of extra time. They were never going to survive the penalties.

Does France think they can shoot between the invisible uprights to score in this #Euro2024?

Bellingham pulls off a clasico. Fantastic goal!

...and finally England opened the door for Slovakia 🤦🏽‍♂️ #Euro2024

Knock, knock, knocking on England's goal #Euro2024

INDIA WIN THE #T20WorldCup. South Africa choked...again.

Fuckin' brilliant catch by Surya.

I don't know what it says about prayers and fans if a billion+ of them don't seem to matter

Here we go. Let's how many solar panels get smashed today #T20WorldCup

Here we go. Let's how many solar panels get smashed today #T20WorldCup

Hosting the #T20WorldCup in the Caribbean during the summer when it does rain regularly was a bad move by the ICC

This is more than just a lean patch for Kohli #T20WorldCup

Well, I wasn't too off the mark. Afghanistan all out for 56. In a World Cup semi-final, no less 🫣

At this rate, Afghanistan will not hit even 50 runs.

Turkiye, Czechia, what's with European countries getting ? What's next? Poland renamed to Polya?

Look, Belgium are playing in their Tintin outfits.

Holy fuck! Afghanistan make it to the semis and knock out Australia and Bangladesh. What a game, rain delays and all 👏🏽 #T20WorldCup

I am switching between if I want Afghanistan to win or Bangladesh. All I know is I don't want Australia to go through to the semis. #T20WorldCup

USA vs. England starting now in the #T20WorldCup. Time to spill the tea again, U.S.

Woo hoo! Afghanistan beat Australia and in grand style. Well deserved! Great game! #T20WorldCup

Afghanistan is winning this. I'm calling it now #T20WorldCup

Afghanistan are batting well against the mighty Aussies. Can they pull it off?

Türkiye has disappointed bigly #Euro2024

Are Mahmudullah and Netravalkar the only grey-haired cricketers in this #T20WorldCup?

West Indies butchering the U.S. 😳

Oh well, I guess Nepal will not upset Bangladesh

⚽ 🏃🏽‍♂️💨 T20 World Cup Cricket in the U.S. & West Indies, Euro 2024, and then the Paris Olympics. It's a summer full of sports. It makes up for not having summer vacation plans this year.

India win! The bowlers save the disaster they inherited from the batters again.

Is the U.S. going to be at the top of this group at the end of this #INDvPAK match? 🤦🏽‍♂️ #T20WorldCup

South Africa is down 3 for 3 in the third over against the Netherlands chasing only 104. Another upset in the making? #T20WorldCup

Wicket on the first ball of the inning, and it was the non-striker. How many times has that happened? 😳 #RSAvNED

Woo hoo! US wins!

USA and Pakistan are locked in Super Over. Pakistan bowled 8 extras in that over 😳 And now need 19 to win it.

How did I miss that the cricket T20 World Cup has started? The U.S., playing in its first World Cup actually beat Canada in the first match

Jeez! Not Real Madrid again 🙄

¡Vamos! Dortmund 😆

Congratulations to the Saints who will go marching in to the Premier League next season.

More people (~90K) watching this Leeds - Southampton Championship final to see who is promoted to the Premier League than yesterday's FA Cup Final at the same venue is quite impressive

Congratulations, ManU. Well deserved. Some consolation for us tired of ManC winning all the time.

F'kkin Onana 🤦🏽‍♂️

Now we cookin', but heckuva pass by Rashford to kick off that play. Clinical finish by Garnacho and then Mainoo after that pass.

If that's what it takes to score against ManCity, that's what we will take.

Who else thinks Ortega looks like a Property Brother?

Can't believe I'm rooting for ManU in this FA Cup Final. But you gotta stop ManC somehow.

Fourth consecutive Premiership for ManC. Boo!

Out here watching soccer on my phone in an Urban Air with kids running around coz we decided to birth our child the final week of the Premier League

Final day of the EPL season, and it's down to the wire, although I think ManC will not let go.

Let's see if we have to wait until next week to see who wins the Premiership or will ManU win it for their across-the-city team today.

NFO blowing it big time 🤦🏽‍♂️

PSG - if the entire club was Darwin Nunez

All Arsenal now has to do is win rest of their games and hope ManCity at least draws one of theirs if not lose. But all ManCity has to do is win their remaining matches 😒

F#@*ing Liverpool. Title hopes over. Congrats to Everton for retaining their Premiership status for the next season.

Phew! At least ManCity lost in the Champions League.

LOL Arsenal. I guess all ManCity has to do to win the Premiership (again) is to wait for LIV and ARS to implode 🙄

And there goes the hopes for a Premiership. I thought I would've to wait at least until early May to be disappointed

Liverpool is in shambles 😤

Watching my first March Madness game (yeah, I know). These are legit top two teams in the country and they are good. Why isn't this played during primetime?

I like basketball's rule of awarding the free throw to the person who was fouled. I wish soccer did that for penalties.

Well, shit. Who would've thought missing all those sitters would come back to bite them 🙄

Liverpool better seal their season this week...on the way to a Premiership. Mo Salah Mo Goals, please.

The last few minutes of Chelsea-ManU today were insane. I hope that loss has softened ManU up for Sunday to avenge the FA Cup loss.

A perfect day for Liverpool today with a win against Brighton and City & Arsenal draw in their game. Now two points clear on the top.

Was the TOT-LUT game with the top two near-misses? The one with Son hitting both posts and the other when the ball was, I think, 95% across the line.

Oh well, Liverpool's complacency near the end of regulation time cost them this FA Cup quarterfinal. But great match!

Are they playing this CONCACAF semi-final in a swamp? 😳

Oh well, we could hope. Now, it all comes down to the LIV-MCI game.

fuckin' City

GOAL! Darwin's evolution as a game-winner is complete.

Tickets booked for Austin FC v. Philadelphia Union at the Q2 on March 16th. Holler back if you're going be there too.

LOL ManU

O Luton Town, you fools!

Three 50+ yard field goals in this game vs seven in the 57 previous Super Bowls. Now that's football.

Saka is in sublime form today. Gotta give it to Arsenal. This is them performing at the highest level.

The 2026 World Cup will be played in New Jersey's MetLife Stadium and not in Dallas' AT&T stadium. Not that I could afford to attend. The availability of better public transit made the difference.

NEW-LUT game is crazy good. Turn it on if you can. It's 4-4 right now at St. James Park. It was 2-4 a few minutes ago.

If hitting the woodwork counted, Darwin Nunez would be the highest goal scorer across all leagues by a mile

4-0 in absence of Salah! Is Liverpool on track to winning the Premiership this year?

India-Pakistan won gold-silver in the javelin throw, both countries first World T&F medals.

Phew! That was a good comeback win by Liverpool against Newcastle. Darwin Nunez FTW

What the heck was that penalty shootout at the Leagues Cup final

Australia-France penalty shootout was something else 🫣⚽️

make it to the semifinals for the first time. Netherlands had themselves to blame. Missed quite a few easy chances ⚽️

Mrs. Davis now starts to make more sense as the pieces fall into place.

Days since I updated my /Now page - 0

The local desi meat market shut down! Where will we get our marinated tandoori chicken and goat meat?

Beat ManU 7-0 last week. Lose to Bournemouth 0-1 next week. Only Liverpool. What are they? The Indian cricket team? 🤦🏽‍♂️

Woo hoo! Totally loving this Liverpool domination of ManU although I can't believe this same team struggles against lower-ranked teams.

Arsenal just sealed the Premiership. Great game!

DayOne on the web is pretty nice.

So much heart in this Nottingham Forest team. An excellent game with MCI.

Watching videos of entire buildings collapsing in Turkey makes me less likely to complain about tree branches still falling around our neighborhood.

Liverpool having a hellish season and completely unraveling at Wolves who were in relegation zone before this game started.

Last day with the current team and first day tomorrow with the new one. I'm already of their Slack Workspace and invited to 10K meetings starting at 8 am tomorrow.

are heading out soon for our team's annual retreat outside Austin. I'm more nervous than I should be. I know why though so it's alright.

Excited to attend John Hendrickson's book signing tonight at BookPeople with my people from the Blank Center

Still processing that ugly conversation with my brother from last night.

Leicester players score thrice compared to none by Liverpool players and yet lose the match 😝

¡Vamos! Messi. But France is scary good and this is not going to be easy.

Thanks for the inspiration and entertainment, Morocco. Hope to see you in 4 years.

¡vamos! Messi.

England seems to be playing much better than they did against the U.S. 🤔

Is this the El Clasico of the World Cup? Or is that France v. Germany?

Morocco! And the dream lives on.

OMG! Excellent strategy by Netherlands.

Holy shit! Croatia! Whatay comeback. Livaković is brilliant in the box.

Whatay fantastic win by Morocco. Truly winning hearts and minds. Too bad I was watching the match on mute while in a meeting.

Why MAR and not MOR? “While the country’s English name is Morocco, the country is known as Maroc in French.“ TIL

All hopes on Morocco now to prevent an only-Europe-South-America quarterfinals.

You guys were right. Andor gets better and better. Down to the last two episodes.

Seen the size of the Dutch goalkeeper? How are you expected to get anything past him?

Switzerland had two shots on goal after 20 seconds on the clock 😳

US needs to score one more. The Iranians scored two in stoppage time against Wales. This time they need just one.

The US needs a win to advance, but Iran needs only a draw. That's exactly the recipe for an exciting match from the US perspective. Vamos!

Is Germany going to be knocked out of the group stage...in consecutive World Cups? 😳

OMG! Morocco is going to tame the Red Devils. All groups are set for chaos.

And Messi scores with his magical left foot! Mexico was content defending for a goalless draw.

C’mon, Messi.

Phew! That was a good result for the US. After the drubbing England gave Iran and watching Iran dominate & beat Wales, I was genuinely concerned

Sports pundits can't make predictions unless they also say what they'll do if they are wrong. It can be something as simple as donating $10K to XYZ Charity.

Ecuador now taking it up a notch against the Netherlands. Exciting game so far.

Scored in five World Cups. No World Cup. Life of Cristiano Ronaldo

O Argentina! How could you Messi it up so badly? He even did his part!

I was so eager to post Fail Wales that I may have jinxed it

Vamos USA!

England off to a great start in the World Cup. Could this be their year?

In the U.S., the World Cup is on Fox and Fox Sports. Interestingly, the first game is on Fox Sports which is a cable-only channel. Peacock has today's game in Spanish.

Congratulations to England. A good clinical win.

Wakanda Forever 🎬🎬

Hoping for yet another Leeds United upset (against Spurs this time)

Inside Man on Netflix was insane😱

NASDAQ was up 7.35% today 🤯

You must have noticed I have not mentioned the T20 World Cup in two days. I have a good reason. Not a worthy one but it's good.

Insha-Salah!

How the hell did South Africa manage to lose to the Netherlands with a semi-final berth at stake? 🤯

Holy shit! Zimbabwe beats Pakistan by 1 run. Fantastic finish!

Wait, no one told me England lost to Ireland! Is that why things have been a bit quiet here 😉

macOS Ventura is here! But I've to wait for at least a couple of hours until I'm done with today's meetings.

That last over India - Pak was absolutely insane. The six off the no ball, the three byes off the free hit, DK's stumping, and the wide 🤯 But Kohli 👏🏽👏🏽

Dear Liverpool, how can you beat Man City and West Ham in one week and then lose to Nottingham Forest in the next week?

Liverpool is a shade of its former self even from just a few months ago.

Writing up a description of the conference I attended this week for our Institute's newsletter.

Got my statuslog working, y'all
