I’m sorry, no. This is not the guy who did the reflecting pool. No. Come on. We’re just putting a hat on a hat here.

The absolute disdain, globally, for the commercial-- I mean "hydration breaks" is beautiful. Who says the world is too polarized? All soccer/football fans agree on this.
That "American Flag Blue" paint is delaminating from the reflecting pool 😅 Polyurea pipeliner is a complex application that requires insane attention to detail.
Inadequate surface prep, failure to remove laitance, moisture contamination, poor temperature control, rushing the cure period.

Thanks so much to @booksandbows.bsky.social for talking to me about their sign encouraging Stewie to read some new books & what they thought when Liberty admin posted it to the team’s account: “My only goal was to ensure that people hadn’t forgotten about the issue, so that was achieved.”
A coupla people passing by ripped off little pieces to keep for posterity 😂

5 red cards already in this World Cup. Love to see the impact the NWSL is having on the wider soccer world 🥰
Me, a week ago: I think the hydration break is good for the players
Me, today: The hydration break is the worst sporting development in my lifetime and should be abolished with fire.
FIFA & Trump: Let's make this the most hate-filled, corrupt, joyless World Cup ever!!
The Fans: No. 🤗
the only color commentary i’m here for is the fact that the boot brands didn’t coordinate their design choices and somehow all but two chose pink to stand out
Continuing my Soccer or Football theorizing, it's weird that the vibes for the hosts (purely in terms of the soccer they've played at this World Cup) feel like this
