    World Cup

    If someone told me before the game that Brazil would get two penalty kicks and lose, i would have laughed hysterically. Haaland is a beast. He’s a space eater that uses his body so well, and has great closing skills. Three way tie for Golden Boot right now.

    World Cup

    Agree. Morocco hadn’t even qualified for 20 years before earning one whole point in 2018. They are a great story especially since they will be one of the three host countries in 2030 (along with Spain and Portugal).

    World Cup

    WC is like MM. Extremely rare for an underdog like Morocco getting to final four. France looks really strong and they should roll. How many more venues/games are on your plan?

    World Cup

    Morocco with a strong second half, and back to back quarterfinals as they will also “tri-host” 2030 World Cup.

    Happy 4th of July, Pirate Nation!

    https://www.axios.com/2026/07/04/america-4th-of-july-patriotism-capitalism-business Read this article this morning that is a great perspective to reflect on the 250th anniversary of this nation. We may not be perfect, but we have a lot to celebrate and there is no better place to live.

    World Cup

    Egypt with lots of questionable and dirty play vs Australia. Didn’t understand the strategy of using different goalie (even though he was experienced) for the PK’s but it didn’t matter as Australia had two attempts that weren’t even on goal.

    Knockout round

    U.S. dominated play prior to the red card. Heartbreaking off sides on Croatia on the tying goal at the end of regulation. Wild finish.

    Knockout round

    That was my point for those that are critical of the game. It’s non-stop action that has limited breaks. Imagine a 2-1 pitchers dual that takes only two hours. we’ve gotten conditioned to 3 1/2 - 4 hour 60 minute games.

    Report to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark Regarding Monsignor Joseph Reilly

    Cmon Dan, we can only express opinions when you say so? Only calling you a shill because that’s how your post reads. The findings don’t change my opinion in terms of Reilly’s lack of leadership and the BOR’s decision to make him President. Everyone is free to have their own opinion and I’ll...

    Report to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark Regarding Monsignor Joseph Reilly

    Dan, no offense, but this message is about as tone deaf as that of the BOR. it’s certainly your prerogative to move on, but you don’t get to tell others that they should. From my perspective, Reilly comes off as anything but a real leader in the report. Not someone deserving of being elevated...

    Knockout round

    It is amazing that this game was two hours from end-to-end including halftime. Football and Baseball games 3 1/2 hours. Gutsy US win playing with 10 after the red card. Should be a good game vs Belgium. I continue to enjoy the National pride being displayed by fans from the various countries...

    Knockout round

    Glad you appreciate some of the nuance of the sport. It is a skill and endurance game. In addition to the constant motion, you can’t sub out and return. Some of the “injuries” are designed to give teams a quick blow. I have not seen that double-breasted look before tonight!. I’ll take the...

    Report to the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Newark Regarding Monsignor Joseph Reilly

    Major “eye roll” reading this report. I’m sorry, but it takes every potential view to exonerate Reilly but, if it walks like a duck and sounds like a duck…. People in leadership don’t ignore such issues. And completely tone deaf of the BOR and those in charge to elevate Reilly to President of...
