A video arguing that women shouldnโ€™t be able to vote was just shared by Trumpโ€™s Secretary of Defense, the guy in charge of our whole military.

And Democratic Party leaders still canโ€™t stand up to this administration?! Our rights are on the line and all our party leaders offer us is silence.

Donโ€™t get why this tournament isnโ€™t one round longer. Only qualifying four of 18 teams is a joke. Lots of dead rubbers coming up

Silly match, silly goal (the clearest foul Iโ€™ve ever seen), silly result. Good thing none of it matters!

@kenjennings.bsky.social my six year old, worldโ€™s biggest Jeopardy! fan, wants to know โ€œwait, why is his hair brown? His hair is usually white!โ€ and now he wants an explanation.

(Book is awesome, btw)

I donโ€™t care about Leagues Cup EXCEPT for when itโ€™s MLS teams I donโ€™t care for getting clowned

Congrats to England on the Euros.

They have to be happy with this. Theyโ€™ll never win the World Cup because the USWNT exists

There is no bigger โ€œoh, rightโ€ feeling than being reminded that Napoli won the scudetto last year

Brick was low-key a top 5 jets draft pick in the last twenty years. Even someone as myopic as Infantino can see that.

The point of the club World Cup seems to be โ€œwhich club can spend the most money?โ€

Chelsea is not a football club, it is three private equity firms in a trench coat

Thereโ€™s just no way that this signing is gonna make others impossible. Theyโ€™re just such different deals

Womenโ€™s football is definitely growing in Argentina. Thereโ€™s a marked difference in the way people talk about it from, say, fifteen years ago.

They donโ€™t like it when I ironically dunk on them and say weโ€™ve won four world cups to their three

We play a bajillion games a year so it would behoove us to have some depth for a change.

Oh and you forgot Merino

What? Two thirds of the teams make it out of the group and weโ€™ll be seeded.

And we just went to the final of a continental championship and lost by one goal with our C-team. For the life of me I do not get this narrative.

Are you able to picture a scenario in which Gyokeres and Havertz play at the same time?

Yeah most arsenal fans were livid that he was allowed to go on playing and desperately wanted him gone, but whatever you say dude
