Just had Haitian Uber driver from USMNT watch party, talking Haiti's WC hopes & moving here & learning Spanish & English watching⚽. World Cup is still a great moment of bringing ppl together. Don't let cynical cash grabs or politics take that away from you. Or us.

Sources: Polish superstar Robert Lewandowski is en route to Chicago for a visit. Hearing billboards welcoming him to the city are going up around town. NO signing yet, but sure seems like the Chicago Fire are rolling out the red carpet for Lewa. #cf97 #VamosFire

By starting today’s match, former @ChicagoFire midfielder Brian Gutiérrez becomes the first MLS Homegrown player to start the opening match of a @FIFAWorldCup game for Mexico since Carlos Salcedo in 2018.

FIFA (supposedly) has rules for broadcasters during World Cup hydration breaks. Fox broke them during the very first game, and even missed match action showing commercials... nytimes.com/athletic/7352632…

Mbokazi from distance as someone in every watch party in the world mumbles something about "altitude"
Sixteen years ago today, Siphiwe Tshabalala ensured the first World Cup goal on African soil was an absolute banger 🇿🇦 Today, Mexico and South Africa meet in the World Cup curtain-raiser once again. How can you not be romantic about football? 🇲🇽

Fiago's love of Chicago is one of the most endearing outcomes of last week's send off match for the USMNT and Germany
Man I love architecture and been researching these past days…is there any city in the US with cooler looking architecture than Chicago? I haven‘t found one yet 😅🇺🇸

What has Mbekezeli Mbokazi learned in his time with #cf97 — and how will he use that to help #BafanaBafana as South Africa returns to the World Cup and faces Mexico in one of the toughest environments in soccer? Here's what the Chicago Fire defender told us a few weeks ago

The stupidest thing about all of this is that this is exactly what prediction markets are for – and why they don't mix with things where we don't think sports betting should be allowed.
A Spanish La Liga club (likely Osasuna) facing potential relegation placed a bet against itself on Kalshi, hedging the financial hit of dropping down a tier. They survived on the final day. Susquehanna was on the other side of that bet and pocketed over $1M.

Great story from Crafton's story Great detail from Crafton's story: Apparently, Chicago *did* sign the contract to be a World Cup host – but an asterisk. Whole thing is well worth the read.
Exclusive Chicago said NO to hosting World Cup Former mayor Rahm Emanuel tells @TheAthleticFC how FIFA wanted contract that could have forced Chicago taxpayers to pay for a dome on Soldier Field… & how FIFA claimed Chicago needed them for “marketing” nytimes.com/athletic/7318897…

Gregg Berhalter had a recommended Starting XI for Paraguay and NGL it's good but I feel like he did #cf97's Chris Brady a little dirty by not giving him the start 🤣

The USMNT may have lost but there's still a ton to like from yesterday's experience at Soldier Field — not all of it on the pitch. Here's a few thoughts from yesterday's #usmnt send-off match against Germany. meninred97.com/3-thoughts-us…

Hey, that's my bald dome making a cameo bottom right 🤣
USMNT midfielder Tyler Adams: “Antonee Robinson is one of the best left backs in the Premier League and I do not say that lightly.”
