Getting in the weeds on #stlcitysc I like sports and jokes. I don’t claim any teams outside STL, most closely follow world soccer (top 5 leagues, MLS, USNTs, DIII) and NBA. Play FPL, Fantasy🏀, ⚽️🏐irl

Nommé par la FIFA pour officier durant la Coupe du Monde, l'arbitre somalien Omar Artan s'est vu refuser l'entrée sur le territoire américain Vu ses difficultés pour obtenir un visa, il avait été soutenu par l'ambassade somalienne de Nairobi qui lui a permis d'avoir un passeport diplomatique

It is price fixing that Moneyball is $4 to rent everywhere and not on a subscription streaming service. And yes, you can basically watch the whole movie by piecing together clip videos on youtube, but I, the American consumer, am being scammed out of $4 here. Might honestly rent a library DVD

Looking at the World Cup squads, I’m thinking I’ll adopt Ivory Coast as my second team and Algeria as my dark horse pick. Ivory Coast is pretty young, but has some fun players and have a pretty easy road to at least 2nd in the group. Algeria have a lot of good, young players that aren’t well known.

Being able to pick between vegan and fair trade elite-level soccer cleats is a wild thing 2026 has brought to us. Is the World Cup highlighting either company? Lol. Lmao.

I'm days late catching up, but that Chris Durkin YC is...certainly something. I can at least confirm it was given for simulation, but yeah, it's ass.

Spurs were +12 in 17.5 minutes with Wembanyama on court in the first half, held the Thunder to 13-for-30 from the field. They were -19 in the 5.5 minutes he was off court, allowed OKC to shoot 8-for-11 from the field.

In the basketball justice system, pick and roll based offenses are considered especially heinous. In New York City, the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious plays are members of an elite squad known as the Special Victims Unit. These are their stories.

You sign on as the sporting director of a rebuilding MLS team. How do you decide how to play? Turns out, talking to your bosses is a good place to start. For @backheeled.com, I spoke with St. Louis City's Corey Wray to learn more about the club's new era (and pizza) ⤵️

There’s a lot to like about the Tarps Off movement in Busch Stadium, but it won’t have reached it’s goal until we see Tarps Off in the green seats.

If we’re gonna keep doing “I Believe,” can we PLEASE all agree that “I believe that” is not it’s own line? “I,” “I believe,” and if we have to do another before the whole thing it’s “I believe that we”

When (if) Iran competes at the 2026 World Cup, it will be their national team’s second-ever visit to the United States. This is the little-known story of the first — a 2000 tour full of complexities and, most of all, joy. Feature @theathletic.com:

Interesting wrinkle from @newmexicoutd.bsky.social HC Dennis Sanchez tonight - Jake LaCava lining up at right back according to their tactical lineup. The Derby Del Camino Real is always worth tuning in for, kickoff is coming up at 9 p.m. ET on CBS Sports Golazo Network. #USL-C

Gotta love the commentators disagreeing with the red as Lod is getting bleeding stopped and then looks like he does

Robin Lod immediately had a black eye, that’s going to hurt in the morning
