That's about as fun as the Tarris Reed stat from college basketball... he played 4 years in college, from 2022-23 thru 25-26, split equally between Michigan and then UConn. Those teams won 3 of 4 titles while he was in college. He was on none of those 3 title-winning teams. 

Similar to Marian Hossa who played for the Penguins and Red Wings in back to back years, and those teams played each other in the SCF both years, with each team winning 1 and Hossa was on the losing team each time.  Then he went to the Blackhawks and went to the SCF for a 3rd straight year and... oh wait they won that one.

It was a little funny seeing Arsenal having a parade for their EPL title 24 hours after losing to PSG. I get why, that they couldn't do it during the season because it was too close to the UCL final and then a lot of these guys are leaving for the World Cup. So they could really only have it today. But it's still a little awkward.

I know they lost but I was encouraged by the US performance today. 

Despite not being awake for the first 5 minutes, I thought the USMNT was the better team over the first half.

Things got a bit out of hand in the USWNT-Brazil friendly today

 

I scrolled down slowly and nearly fell off my seat thinking Brazil scored 8 goals lol.

Just pure greed

I hate it.

And I hate the World Cup final half-hour half time show. You want to watch those musicians? YouTube or go to their concerts. Just ridiculous.

What a dumb red by Mexico. You’re up 2-0 and up 2 players in injury time. Just let the guy go through and if you give up a goal, oh well. Now you’re suspended for the next game too.

EDIT: Not to mention, you’re up 2 players and 2 goal, how are you getting caught in an odd man rush where a foul like that can even take place?

Sorry guys I usually only follow soccer during the WC. How come Chicago isn't a host site? I saw some blurb from Rahm saying he didn't want the city to foot the enormous bill that the WC brings. Is there more to it? I remember 1994 and it being cool having Soldier Field hosting some games.

That's probably at least part of it.  People in NJ are pissed about how much it's going to cost the area.
