Lots of good stuff here with @RobAbramowitz
@ShraderUNL @FrontRowSoccer @socceramerica @newyorkcityfc
@RobAbramowitz was gob-smacked @FIFA didn't allow questions in Spanish after Brazil / Morocco game. He talks about the journalistic value of speaking in native languages.
Reportedly, FIFA is changing its policy.

Wouldn't be a bad idea for the NBA to take a look at this rule!

La regla de la “Identidad equivocada” se aplicó por primera vez en la historia del fútbol. El VAR intervino para trasladar una tarjeta amarilla del defensor Ream de Estados Unidos al atacante Almirón de Paraguay, quien había simulado una falta. Opiniones?

Really good analysis here from @cmilessports after the USA beat Paraguay Friday night.
He agrees it was one of the great performances ever by the US, maybe the best in the first half.
(Tease: he's worried about Australia!)

Couldn't ask for a better way to start the home-standing FIFA World Cup for the USA. A 4-1 win over Paraguay.

Pulisic was awesome, Balogun scored twice, Reyna had a spectacular closing shot.
McKennie was best on the pitch in first half, says @cmilessports.

I think you will find this young lady likable.
Sharni Yerke is rising producing star in American soccer.
@ShraderUNL @SoccerMediaPod
I love to tell stories about emerging media stars and about the unsung heroes of the media business.
This young lady fills the bill.

Please take a look at this. The history of American soccer as told by the people who have been the chroniclers of the game for more than five decades.

So David Ellison gets billions and billions of dollars from his Daddy to buy Paramount.
And he rips apart some of the great things that made it a good investment.

@AmericanOutlaws are a fierce and determined bunch. Sounds like they need to be with ticket prices sky-high and uncertainty about their place in the stadiums.

Trump does not support Ken Paxton in spite of Paxton’s corruption.
It is because of that corruption.
Those are your guys @TeamPillen.
Judgment matters.
Think about that Nebraska voters.

Of course most of America could give a flip about what Boomer thinks.

Boomer Esiason 100% right on the Jaxson Dart, Abdul Carter controversy.
Dart was asked to introduce President Trump at a New York event, so did it. He said nothing political or partisan -- tho I'm sure he supports President Trump (as do most NFL players and 90% of NFL QBs).
If, for some reason, I were asked to introduce Barack Obama, I would do it, and be honored and respectful about it -- even though I think Obama was a horrible President. I would even find something positive to say -- because that's what you do if you have manners.
I once had a very good conversation with President Bill Clinon -- even though I was on the other side politically. Clinton even told me he thought I would agree with a lot in the speech he was going to give.
This is how politics should be conducted -- in a civil manner, even when we have strong disagreements.
In other words, we need more John Fettermans.

Frankly, the last place I would go to get proper analysis on the Dems is the retiring GOP member of Congress.
The NE Dem State Chair is tying herself into pretzels. She wants to keep Dems out of the Senate raise to support a Dem masquerading as an independent. And… she’s criticizing Dems for supporting an Independent in the NE01 Congressional race. She’s playing a shell game w/ voters.
