I am extremely glad this dreadful person didn’t buy Arsenal.

I am never going to forgive the people who didn’t vote in the last election. Ever.

U.S. denies visas to athletes and the PM of Senegal thanks China for their help. The administration is destroying our international profile, relations, and soft power. Tell me how we’re going to host a World Cup next year and Olympics in 2028?

this is not funny, rockets only do this when they’re in extreme distress.

Arsenal have a tough schedule to start to the Premier League season, but I'm choosing to look at it as a positive. A chance for the club to lay down a marker and make a statement of intent. Imagine if Arsenal are top after United (A), Leeds (H), Liverpool (A), Forest (H), City (H), Newcastle (A).

We have long since moved beyond the need for Alexi Lalas. In fact, there was never a need for him.

Had an interloper on our morning walk. Zoom in top left.

The one cool thing about the Club World Cup is the opportunity for all the U.S.-based fans of these clubs to see them in person. For example, I imagine there are plenty of Palmeiras supporters within a “worth it” drive of NYC who get to see their club live when they otherwise have little chance.

Oh hey, Fabio Vieira playing for Porto in the CWC. Arsenal have to figure out what to do with him this summer. Sell him, I suppose.

In other news, Saudi Arabia, which has done as much as anyone to ensure the financial success of Club World Cup for FIFA, has executed a journalist, who was tried in secret, and sentenced to death over what activists say were tweets critical of the regime.

You’d think that after mishandling and losing two of three of the most consequential presidential elections of the modern era they’d, yanno, be open to trying something new and different.

It’s really funny to me that Harry Kane and Bayern Munich are playing a match in Cincinnati. No disrespect meant for Cincy. What a ridiculous competition this is.

Every time the announcer says Trezeguet, I think of David Trezeguet, the former French international.
