Sunday morning 6am, it’s snowing and Pulisic is starting in 1/2 hour. Life is good!

This is awesome. I’d love to hear what his idea was. Also curious what state this is in.

Best guess is...whatever the most corrupt possible solution is. Some options: If only one of them refuses to play, Russia is awarded a spot in the World Cup for reasons If both refuse to play, either Saudia Arabia or Qatar is moved into that group, creating a pair of 3-team group (from which...

If he can get one more (but after the 90th minute), he breaks the tie with Ronaldo and Aguero for all-time lead in Champions League stoppage time game-tying+game-winning goals

I bought germany-Ecuador immediately after matchups were announced today. Prices more than doubled by an hour later. Slightly depressing thinking about how much money could have been made just buying tickets to all the games a few days ago

Not directly related, but my understanding is that advertising during usmnt games is going for up to 8x as much money as other games, which suggests an expectation that a bazillion closet usmnt fans will come out of the woodwork.

I can't imagine what exactly the interview process was where someone came out of a conversation with Gianni Infantino and said "THAT is the guy we want running the largest sport in the world!"

This entire thing has had the production value of a high school play
