Damn yeah that was a banger of a match. Germany should’ve won in regular time (Haavertz should land that chip) but credit to Spain, that last goal was pure will and desire to move on.

So is this part we repeat history almost a century later and start regarding the NYTimes as less of a “trusted news source” and more “a vital part of the fascist propaganda machine”?

If you care about the USA, the single best thing you can do today is to contribute to a downticket race thats close. The second best thing you can do is cancel your NYT subscription and use that money for the purpose.

In what is certainly a first for my freshman football coaching career, out of 62 kids on the team, I have 8(!) who want to be kickers.

One thing that annoys me about the Democratic consultant class is how they act like they're brass-knuckle streetfighters and yet don't have the stones to run nonstop ads about Trump's extensive connections to Jeffrey Epstein. It's all true! It's documented! There are photos!

Functional political systems are *supposed to be* boring! It should be sewage specialists arguing over what size pipe is most efficient for the city layout! It should be debates over whether to put a mural or a frieze in the new park! “Interesting politics” are when people start dying!

Not the most terrifying thing but perhaps the most infuriating: every single thing we said about these fascist Republican fucks has been proved out and all the people who assured us that what is happening would never happen smoothly pivoted to yes it's happening but it will be fine.

It can’t be repeated enough: transphobia is a warning sign for fascism. The rights of trans people are a canary in the mine, and when they’re assaulted it means we are all under assault.

Although I’ll give him this - the current DNC national strategy of Doing Things The Way They’ve Always Been Done while ignoring the irregular attacks ripping away their supply lines bears some remarkable similarities to lines of gentlemen in red coats marching through a forest.

People keep referencing guillotines & gallows, but the American response to this situation has tended to range from "mob justice" to "mail bombs" For these reasons, past generations of US elites have sought to preserve at least the *illusion* of a fair system of laws. But the mask is fully off now.

I don’t follow Weah either but anyone familiar with South American football knows that if there’s even the possibility they can make it look like you murdered their mother, they’re gonna take it, and either Berhalter didn’t explain it to him (which I doubt, I’ll give him that) or Weah didn’t listen

Thing that stands out to me most about Berhalter is you look at interviews with world class managers after a loss and it’s “We tried a more aggressive attacking fullback up the side and got hit on a counter” and he’s all “flerpy herp, you should teach my non-answer to a class of business majors”

My wife and I were talking and it really felt like it was a response to the whole business with the Reynas where USMNT management was like “we need to show them he’s still our guy, despite the fact he can’t coach”

Yeah, it’s the company that makes the game, Grinding Gear Games, frequently short handed to GGG. Basically, your comment reads to a weird part of my brain as “And then when Blizzard Entertainment took over the USMNT…” :p

Fair enough, though I’d argue that some of the lower tier teams are basically MLS champion level teams, so I guess go US soccer?

You’re not watching a US attack from the backfield thinking “Oh damn they’re gonna work this thing through and generate a legitimate chance,” you’re thinking “I hope the ball finds a way to bounce to someone in a position to score”

I think my takeaway from the current state of US soccer on the biggest stage is that there’s a fundamental disconnect between how players on the team expect each other to play. The European league players and the MLS players are not on the same page and there’s no connective tissue.

To be fair, Richards fucked that one up, yellow card or not you need to immediately either kick that ball away or stand over the top of it so Uruguay can’t quick kick it from the direct spot. Refs will bring it back if it’s 5-6 yards forward but if they immediately spot it, game on.

I've seen enough -- this is the most radical, dangerous, arrogant, out-of-control Supreme Court in American history, and it needs to be treated as such.

If you murder a string of Supreme Court justices and then appeal your conviction back up to the Supreme Court, all the remaining judges must recuse themselves with conflicts of interest. You are automatically freed; the perfect crime. No law school is brave enough to admit this.

This Supreme Court should not be allowed to readjourn with the same amount of justices it ended this session with. Whatever form that takes I’m fine with.
