Southgate has to be the luckiest England manager ever. How the hell are we level? 😊

Southgate’s plan intact. No shots on target until stoppage time.

Halfway between Fort Worth and Austin. I might drop in for gas and a soda.

I entertained some Irish cousins and they loved weird N. American place names like Wa-Wa, Flin-Flon and Kalamazoo.

Mind you, local colour when I grew up was outdoor privies and an Andy Capp bath in front of the fire.

It’s a fraught subject. Everything outside of the USA is local color to Americans, if they ever go abroad.

That’s a constant. I’m Scottish and my wife is American. She can’t differentiate regional accents and I always translate place names.

Panama has beaten Gregg Berhalter's UMSNT twice on US Soil and the USMNT has not advanced when hosting with the worst team in the tournament in their group. Gregg's watch is over.

USMNT could use Bellingham and Kane. They had the night off.

I'm imagining the Fox Sports pregame meetings where they were sitting around wondering how they could make this game worse.

"Let's ensure nobody can read the player numbers by using a camera angle that is absolute ass"

Lots of empty seats at Arrowhead. Tickets are way too expensive.

Remember: Cristiano Ronaldo is so desperate to win Euro 24 because he knows he can’t set foot on U.S. soil for the next World Cup.

I figured that some shithouse attempt at drawing a penalty was inevitable. Good job by the refs.

Fox absolutely does not have the commentator depth to be broadcasting both Copa America and Euro 2024 without some truly hideous teams broadcasting key games

the optimal game to go to extra time is the early game of a doubleheader. less time for bloviating from the analysts.
