    I agree. Future looking good for the US; and after those 4 years we will be joint hosting it. Reason to look forward to the 2026 World Cup for sure.

    This is gonna always be the fate for USA teams until they get better athletes into the programs earlier on. Just no interest in the country on the mens side for the youth to build a stronger roster.

    I disagree. We’re seeing better and better athletes playing soccer every year. MLS is helping grow the sport here. We’ll be a tough out in ‘26.

    Didn’t watch it. But I can see Biden accidentally dropping the ball over and over until the photography team hands it to him and tells him to just hold it with two hands.

    But just imagine if the last president tweeted about the World Cup. Imagine how many racist remarks would have been used.

    I’ve just now found myself hoping that Carmelo Anthony makes an appearance at the World Cup Final. You already know why…

    Argentina 2 - 1 Australia

    Out of the World Cup but not embarrassed by our performance or the result.

    They got a lucky goal, we got a lucky goal. We fought to the end and almost levelled it. In the end the match was decided by an absolutely class goal by Messi.

    We’ll done Argentina.

    Once again, if you thought this team was going to win today, you were setting yourself up for a letdown bro.

    Would have been tough to win in extra time if Australia tied it. Argentina looks to have regained their form.

    Shouldn’t be embarrassed at all. Great job by the Socceroos

    You can’t give that man that kind of space. What a horrible mistake by Poland.

    That is the highest paid player in the world. You give Mbappe that space, and time… He got to take exactly what he wanted.

    2-0 France, Poland - Out

    Mbappe 2 goals and 1 Assist

    France - 3
    Poland - 0

    Insane
