With Sebastian Cruz’s screamer, the Tampa Bay Rowdies defeated Detroit City FC 1-0, clinching the 2026 USL Championship Players’ Shield in the process. Connor King examines: rblrsports.com/2026/10/21/r... #COYR

NEWS: FIFA confirms USA will host the first Women's Club World Cup in 2028 (no cities confirmed) FIFA also announces that each 2027 World Cup participant will receive $2.5M in preparation money, the same as the 2026 Men's World Cup

I have found, and was told my a customer service rep later, that if you swear at them (I feel “I need a motherfucking REPRENTATIVE RIGHT NOW” is both direct and expresses my internal rage the best), it cuts through the chicanery of bot handoffs.
I generally do not think I’m an angry person, but the level of rage I feel when being passed from a clanker to another clanker after requesting a representative has my questioning things
