YOUNG FAN OF TURKISH CLUB SAMSUNSPOR waves to team bus as it passes each week, before it eventually makes surprise stop to say hello. Love to see clubs being mindful of these connections. Also love to see Goalkeepers Union looking out for their own 🧤🇹🇷🚌

Truly lovely scenes as IFK Gothenburg fans serenade Sven-Goran Eriksson with a tifo & song. 💙

After a massive victory over Germany to start their World Cup, Japanese fans stayed to clean up trash from the stands, an act of respect they’ve also carried out at previous tournaments. 🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵
Incredible: last night, Colombian Leicy Santos scored winner for Atletico against Milan and celebrated by holding up Jenni Hermoso’s Spanish jersey. Hermoso in attendance took the salute from the Colombian. A powerful moment of solidarity and support 🇪🇸💪
How can you not love Oleksandr Zinchenko. The Ukranian celebrates every goal his team scores like it could be their last. A symbol of the spirit that is driving this Arsenal team forward. 🇺🇦❤️
How beautiful was that? For millions of people, I bet watching Tracy Chapman perform once again was to unlock profoundly powerful memories, and be transported to some very raw places. Savor every second. Tracy is Eternal 💙👑
Awful to watch first time you saw it, and it gets worse and worse with every viewing. There is zero way Aguero would have done this to a male match official. Zero
WE SHOULD ALL take a moment to appreciate a generation of USWNT icons who may have played their final World Cup games Sunday. Players who lifted America to back-to-back World Cups. A disappointing end, but we should never take what they accomplished in a 🇺🇸 Shirt for granted. ❤️
Fans at a mall in the Philippines respond to Women's National Team's first-ever World Cup goal—which proved to be match-winner—in tournament debut. World Cup's ability to trigger these moments of shared, spontaneous joy always something to behold. 🇵🇭🙌❤️

Today, in a press conference ahead of USMNT vs. Iran, an Iranian reporter questioned Tyler Adams' support of the Iranian people, and then asked the team's captain if he’s comfortable representing the U.S., given the way the country has treated Black people. 🗣️🇺🇸
IMPORTANT 🇮🇷 Ahead of their game against England, Iran’s captain Ehsan Hajsafi becomes the first Iranian player to speak out in support of women’s rights protesters in his home country, expressing condolences to families who’ve lost loved ones.
Sorry, we're on FS2 today because of World Cup, not on FS1. Join us on FS2 as we debate LeBron content without a second star, Kawhi to Clippers, Kobe ranked 8th among all-time Lakers, and the NFL's Mount Rushmore. 9:30-noon E, FS2
Quite moving piece of video as Angel Di Maria breaks down in tears when Argentina fans chant his name after yesterday’s World Cup win. Cinematic in both its style and Di Maria’s raw emotion. 🇦🇷❤️
USA will host the 2026 World Cup along with Canada and Mexico. Ignore the fact we may be at war with both countries by then. Enormous news for everyone that cares about the growth of the game of soccer in the United States
Powerful & poignant scene as the City Ground remembers Adam Johnson, an American hockey player tragically killed in an on-ice accident playing for Nottingham Panthers. ❤️🙏
This overhead view of the USMNT's goal against Iran is sort of a work of art. From the front to back play, to the switched fields, to the well-timed runs, this is some fine 4D chess that GGG's drawn up for his Baby Eagles. (via:

Lionel Messi places the Captain’s armband on DeAndre Yedlin ahead of the Leagues Cup trophy lift. Yedlin was the club’s captain prior to Messi’s arrival. Really lovely moment. 🇺🇸❤️

Spanish Federation President Luis Rubiales grabs his crotch in the moment of Spanish victory in the VVIP Section, where he was seated besides members of the Spanish Royal Family. He would proceed to kiss Jenni Hermoso on the mouth during the trophy presentation. Hermoso later…
PULISIC'S SERIE A RENAISSANCE 🇺🇸🇮🇹
CHRISTIAN PULISIC is back. 👑 Since swapping Chelsea for AC MILAN, CP11 leads 1st-place Milan with 4 goals, has won over fans & press in Italy (Puli! Puli! Sic! Sic!) and returns to the US in rich form.
Here's a Puli in Italy thread. 🧵
Graham Potter to Chelsea has real Anakin Skywalker vibes about it. A man succumbing to the temptation of the Dark Side and becoming the very thing he swore to destroy
A look at Andres Cantor as he makes the call that crowns 🇦🇷 World Cup champions. Such an emotional and moving moment for Cantor, who was born in Argentina and moved to the US as a teenager. A voice, and a human, for the ages ❤️❤️
Kobe was an incredible football fan. A man ahead of his time. Loved Barcelona. Had real skills. Was a genuine booster of the game. One of few true ballers it was correct to ask the question "What if America's best athletes played soccer."
#RIPKobe
Before his final game, in Oct 1977 at Giants Stadium in East Rutherford, N.J., Pelé took the microphone at the center of the field, his father and Muhammad Ali beside him, and exhorted a crowd of more than 75,000 “Say with me three times, for the kids: Love! Love! Love!” 🇧🇷🐐👑
Brazil have never
Italy have never
Argentina have never
Germany have never
USA have more CONCACAF Nations League wins than all those supposed giants put together. We are a giant in the making 🏆🏆🏆🇺🇸
Still buzzing about Linds Horan taking the foul. Telling van De Donk to “shut your f*cking mouth” then savoring vengeance with her Colorado Forehead of Justice. Incredible moment of skill, power and fury on field. Followed by respect and hugs between two club teammates off it 🇺🇸
Today, in a press conference ahead of USMNT vs. Iran, an Iranian reporter asked Tyler Adams if he's comfortable representing the U.S., given the way the country has treated Black people. Here was Tyler's response. 🗣️🇺🇸

Savic just pulled Jack Grealish's hair. You can't do that. You can destroy the monarchy. Cancel Churchill. Ban Tea Time. But Grealish's hair is a British institution. War must be declared
JULIE ERTZ SUBS OFF IN FINAL USWNT GAME 🇺🇸
A footballing icon whose ability on the field was surpassed only by her selflessness as a human being. A competitor and serial winner we were lucky to call one of our own.
BIG LOVE,

SCENES as the baby eagles get back to their hotel after beating Iran and advancing to the Round of 16. A hero's welcome for a team that looks like they’re hitting their stride at the right time. Also, CP10 looks like he’s in very good spirits 😉🦅🇺🇸
Lot of focus on winding down of International careers of so many legends like Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, and Carli Lloyd. But let's raise a glass to a player who has always been the pillar of the team, performing superhuman heroics out of spotlight. Becky Sauerbrunn you Icon 🇺🇸
THIS WORLD CUP IS DRUNK. BRAZIL OUT. GERMANY OUT. MOROCCO IN. SOUTH AFRICA IN. JAMAICA IN. THIS IS CUTTHROAT COMPETITION AND WE ARE HERE FOR IT 🍻🏆🍻🏆🍻🏆🍻🏆🍻🏆
AMAZING SCENES IN LEVERKUSEN. Fans on the field celebrating team's first Bundesliga title in club's 120-year history. What football is all about—MAKING COLLECTIVE MEMORIES TOGETHER. 🥳🇩🇪🍻
Qatar Airways sponsorship appears to prevent Fox from saying: Qatar's performance is worst by host nation in history of the tournament. A team that should never have hosted, whose team would never have qualified, exits with worst record by a host nation-all time
HILARIOUS EXCHANGE at Elland Road Wednesday as visiting West Ham supporters trade song with home Leeds fans.
West Ham fans sing "We've had a shot"
Leeds fans reply: "You're f**king s**t"
To which West Ham fans sing back "We're f**kng s**t" 🤣🤣
Underappreciated detail of this is how the footballer's first instinct was to fake-dive in agony, then he realized it was just a ball boy and would be too humiliating
Unimaginably Awful news. Grant was a pioneer in football journalism in the United States. Condolences to his family and loved ones and this truly terrible time

Harry Kane. Few human beings have been written off, discounted, derided more times. And retorted by keep on keeping on. 137 League goals now. Safe to say, he scores when he wants/Suck it Haters
