JD Vance exists b/c in the panic after the 2016 election white liberal were desperate for any way to explain/excuse their conservative relatives and instead of listening to black ppl who were screaming "It's the racism" they made Vance a best selling author, which gave him the platform he needed

My last thought before drifting off for the night: what a month it's been and what a Footy Eclipse. In the end, I really hope Messi's body holds together long enough to face off against Lamine Yamal in the Finalissima before World Cup 2026. It'd be the perfect passing of the torch.

I love that finally, now that the match is over, Fox is focusing on the celebrations on the pitch and Univisión is making up for all the real journalism by just immediately sheeting the audience with ads.

Just an absolute shitshow mess of a tournament and God, I loved it. This might be the best I've watched since Uruguay took it in 2011. You can't love the totality of the Beautiful Game without acknowledging all the ways it can be played. We got AFCON, Euros, and Copa América all in a calendar year.

I was fortunate enough to see Di Maria at PSG with Cavani when he still had something in the tank, and then I saw him two years ago at Juve when he had... less in the tank. What a legend, regardless.

It's damn near midnight. You know the humidity in that place feels like being tossed in a swimming pool right now. These men need all the ice baths when this is over.

I need Leandro Paredes to bring this tier of shithousing physicality to his club next season if he's gonna wear De Rossi's number. Not a criticism, more of an observation.

Credit to the Copa América broadcast crew. They are tapping into the Passionate Fans Trope and milking it in a way that makes me feel absolutely seen. Except that's me watching NFL games, too.

I'm not saying that's a penalty, I'm saying that it's penalt'ish.

Somebody pls write a media analysis of Fox vs Univision coverage of this game.
I have Fox on for one of the first times in this tournament. And they are showing none of this. From their perspective it just seems to be a mystery what has been happening…

She really said, “Retire, bitch.” (The “bitch” isn’t stated but is strongly implied.”
A senior House Democrat says efforts to replace Biden at the top of the ticket have stopped because, “We've all resigned ourselves to a second Trump presidency."
Trump rally shooting upends congressional Democrats' crisis over Biden's candidacywww.axios.com Rep. Dean Phillips said it would be "unpatriotic and unprincipled" to focus on anything besides the shooting.

Delayed another half hour? I'm going shopping. They might be singing national anthems by the time I'm back.
Now I'm just annoyed because I could've just gone Sunday grocery shopping 90 minutes ago and *been* back for kickoff.

Based on what I'm seeing on Univisión right now happening outside the stadium in Miami, nah, the US is absolutely neither competent nor ready to host a World Cup in two years.

Are... the crowds outside Hard Rock Stadium gonna delay the kickoff all the way past Biden's address? #CopaAméricaFinal

I can feel Sturridge trying not to roll his eyes while Alexi rambles during the sign-off.

Fox jinxed this when they played "Three Lions" as soon as England were in the final.

Hey it's me, Sonic the Hedgehog! Did you know you don't have to write every thought you have on the computer? That's right - believe it or not there are many cases where the thrill of likes and reposts do not outweigh the potential real world consequences, regardless of how unlikely they are!

I've always said that watching England in a tournament is like watching a Final Destination movie: you know they're going to die, you're tuning in to see *how*.

Watching this match and tapping the gif yet again

AS Roma drives many people mad, but seeing a former mutual descend into pranking a blogger during an assassination attempt is just… … log off, fam.
Meanwhile, a football vlogger in Italy was woken up at 2 a.m. by a stream of notifications after being misidentified by Twitter geniuses as an antifa Trump assassin
