Any journo buying food at the @MetLifeStadium, during this @FIFAWorldCup, should be ready to be taken for a mug. @EddyDove of @ESPNAfrica just went to get a meal. I’ll leave him to tell you how much he paid for it…
Lads, IT HAPPENED!! The Divine @hjmcd20 has treated me to a ticket for Scotand v. Morocco on 6/19. This American is seeing his first ever football match a the World Fookin' Cup! The Scottish Army is real, and they don't come to play! I mean they do, but you get it.
How it's going for the Tartan Army:
Donald Robertson, 54, a food truck owner, who had flown in with his wife Lorraine from their home in Bathgate in West Lothian, was not entirely enjoying the familiar lager (Tennent's). “It’s warm,” he said. But he got through $130 (£97) worth (10 beers)
This is the 7th World Cup I've been to and 13th I've watched.
Pound for pound and taking modern pro conditioning versus teams who, for example in 1978 or 82 were semi pros, this Paraguay performance is the worst I've ever seen.
Exclusive @TheAthleticFC
Unionized workers in SoFI stadium today handed “Kick Ice Out” buttons to wear by union shop stewards inside the venue (and some are wearing them)
Workers been fighting in recent months for protections against ICE at the venue.

Open offer to any Euros visiting for the World Cup: I will happily take you to the gun range and get you some top notch BBQ if you’re in the DC area.
Sadly I don’t have a truck, but I’ll see what I can do.
