Gabby Thomas. You’re incredible.
If you’re a coach, you tell Gvardiol that he did very well. Stood his ground, didn’t put his foot in, forced him outside, made sure not to foul. Everything you’re taught to do.
But then, in a few seconds, Lionel Messi destroys your entire belief system
This is the most Peruvian example of pettiness in the history of Peruvian pettiness. Universitario wins the league w/ a 2-0 win vs. rivals Alianza Lima in the 🇵🇪 clásico.
At the whistle, as La U celebrates, Alianza’s Matute stadium turns off the lights.

Ancelotti: “You want to talk about the game?”

Buenos días.
It’s been more than 2 weeks since 18 yr old Andres Guardado -a Salvadoran-American student w/ 2 jobs hoping to be a mechanic - was shot dead by

officers.
His parents still haven’t seen the autopsy results because the LASD is withholding it.
Rest In Peace, Shock G. Brooklyn, Digital Underground legend who gave us so much, but to me - and to many - he is the genius who co-produced an underrated classic, 2Pac’s debut album 2Pacalypse now and delivered one Tupac’s greatest: I get around 🙏🏽
In all of this, I can’t stop thinking about Joe Biden’s biggest fan aka borderline obsessive stalker Leslie Knope. This parks and rec scene will forever stay with me
Listen to Klopp’s entire presser, not just the soundbite. He’s not demanding a replay. He’s saying that in a perfect world a replay or decision to even things out in the moment should be the solution. Not fully agreeing w/ everything he’s saying, but he’s not DEMANDING a replay.
My favorite moment of the wknd. Mitoma’s ridiculous goal w/ Japanese commentary. I have zero idea what they’re saying (I’ll ask one of my best friends who is Japanese) but I think we can understand when he goes: “Mitoma…MITOMAAAAA——”😂

Well done. You managed to insult Luis Díaz’s country twice. By misspelling Colombia and stereotyping the nation into this drug-infested country cause you get all your cultural lessons from Narcos.
Dean Smith: “"I said to the fourth official David Coote, 'did you get juggling balls for Christmas?' I don't think any other manager would get sent off for that."
First off. AMAZING.
Second. SPOT ON.
Lionel Messi’s form right now is turning into something v. special. It’s as if something inside of him is being born again. He is so complete right now. Scoring but also creating. I had 🇧🇷 as my fave to win the World Cup but now it’s neck + neck. Either way, they’ll meet.
“I've been wanting this for 13 years..”
An emotional James Rodríguez can’t hold his emotions after reaching his first ever Copa América final. He’s been through so much and it has taken a lot for him to get back to this.
Six assists in this tournament
Luton Town, who were non-League in 13-14, are now in the Premier League. Incredible doesn’t even describe it. Kenilworth Road stadium hosts a little more than 10,000. Oak Road End is so unique. You go through turnstiles between houses + their back gardens

I've said it many times but it has to be said again. For Leeds United to return to the Premier League after 16 years and create this kind of football, including 6th most goals scored, 16 wins, and edge closer to a top half finish is remarkable.
What I just witnessed - which is one of the best performances I have ever seen since supporting this club - has made me incredibly emotional. I have tears.
You have to give me a moment before I can give a full reaction.
I love this club so f——-g much.

This is could have honestly been so easily fixed. Many other nations do it. You do three checkpoints way before you even enter the stadium to see if you have tickets. Hard Rock stadium’s surroundings are actually perfectly built for this.
They didn’t do it.
And now this.
1/ Moises Caicedo [nearly] to Man United getting the Fabrizio confirmation.
For those of you who don’t know about the 19-year-old star from Ecuador, I can’t even begin to tell you how talented he is. The ceiling is also EXTREMELY high.
Manchester United are in direct contact with the agents of Moises Caicedo (Indep. del Valle).
The agreement on personal terms [5 years] won’t be a problem. €5m price tag.

‘control’ the situation by weeks and will decide soon wether to complete the deal or not. 🔴🇪🇨
I can’t find the words right now. I’m sorry. I’ve been a mess since I found out. I will try to get it together tomorrow to express myself.
Just know this. Grant was a champion of humanity and he believed in all of you. Every single day.
Only the good die young.
I absolutely detest this tweet. Bielsa, who doesn't know English, bravely decided to practice in a live situation because he, like many other Spanish-speakers, feel the best way to learn English is to practice when it matters. He wanted to prove a point, which you then belittle.
This is it.
Lionel Messi scores a BEAUTIFUL goal then to celebrate he removes his Barça shirt to reveal a Newell’s Old Boys kit with Diego Maradona’s No. 10.
My friends. This is fútbol. This is love. This is the ultimate tribute.

Former PSG (and many others) man Nenê is currently in Paris to help out Neymar w/ his recovery. He took time to do the “lucarne d’Évry” challenge, where u gotta put the ball through a small window.
What happens next? PURE JOY.
WE HAVE DONE IT.
WE HAVE MADE HISTORY.

UNAI EMERY. YOU HAVE CHANGED OUR CLUB.
YOU HAVE MADE US KINGS AGAIN.
I LOVE YOU ALL. UTFV 🟣🔵

Emiliano Martínez. You, compadre, are the king of sh—-housery, the master of psychological warfare. U enter a stadium where EVERYONE hates you, root everything u do & not only does it not bother you, it fuels you. It’s an unbelievable display of mental & physical resilience 🟣🔵
This is not easy to watch. Or hear. But it is essential. Vinicius Junior. Welling up with tears after being subjected to a fresh wave of racist abuse. This has been a regular occurrence for six months in La Liga.
I am also asking any Villa fan to please not fall into the “good ebening” jokes. As someone who watched his father often be belittled in England because of his accent, it feels ignorant & xenophobic.
Also, if you only speak one language…you really need to sit this one down 🟣🔵
Lionel Messi returns to PSG as squad/staff welcome him with a guard of honor. Mbappé is still in NYC with Hakimi, in case you’re wondering why you don’t see him. Per

3 ACLs. Not a full squad all season.
And we're still 4th.
No excuses. Just facts.
Keep supporting, keep believing.

A small thing from the wknd, but w/ big meaning. Gerrard knew Dibu Martinez felt bad after conceding the 1st goal vs. United, but he recovered. Next day, SG tags EM on IG w/ a pic of his son Lio wearing EM gear to show an extra msg of support. We have a special manager 🟣🔵

There’s just no other way to phrase it. Newcastle United absolutely schooling Villa in every single way. It’s mesmerizing from NUFC and horrific from Villa. Unai better bring extra notebooks.
Marquinhos has 200+ appearances for PSG, 50+ appearances for Brazil. He’s a Copa America winner and an Olympic gold medalist. Can play 3 positions He’s only 26. A remarkable player who honestly deserves more recognition when we talk about the best center backs in the game.

So let me get this straight. Sergio Ramos, Marquinhos, Kimpembe in front of Navas or Donnarumma. Then you add Hakimi to the list. Then Verratti, Wijnaldum behind Neymar, Di Maria and Mbappé?
Yeah, ok.

JOKES.

So happy for Darren Moore. As a black manager in this game, not only is he in the overwhelming minority, but all chips go against him. A black manager is judged differently, attacked w/ racism + abuse. He never stopped fighting. More black managers are needed in the game, period.
No Mings, Buendía for season. Kamara’s done. All ACLs. Ramsey only returned in Jan. Moreno in Nov. Then we lost Digne. Youri for a bit. Then Konsa. Torres was out for 2 months, recovery stuttering. DC, JJD out.
But zero complaining from Unai Emery.

Appreciation post for Ashley Young. He’s 38 in July and plays the game like a sensei. I can’t believe I still remember him back in 07-08 killing it on the wing and 15 yrs later, he’s STILL doing his thing. Youth players: take note. This is a master at work

Do not by any means give any credit to Southgate. This is all Jude Bellingham’s clutch genius.
What I saw from GS in those 90 mins was the most amateurish managerial performance I’ve ever seen. Naive, stubborn and to be honest: arrogant.
This is going to ET cause of JB.
