    It’s a pen if you’re going strictly by the letter of the law. The problem here is that it was a tight play and only becomes a pen from VAR check. Seemed tight enough that you have to stick with on field call.

    It was cool that Belgium won that game, but I didn’t see much tonight that changed my opinion on them from the group stage. USA needs to take care of business tonight and will get to play a very beatable Belgium team.

    Lukaku just refusing to let his international career end. Love his energy down the stretch.

    Did Christian Wiggins tear his achilles playing Pickleball?

    I'm disgusted to learn about this irresponsible decision to let the boys play pickleball made by the staff. These guys need to stick to sports that don't require sudden explosive movements in different directions -- Like basketball. There has literally never been an Achilles tear in organized...

    Electric start to the day through the first game and a half.

    I have not been super impressed with Portugal thus far.

    France's through balls look like the type of stuff you see when you turn the difficulty down on FIFA. They're so ****ing good.

    Ref had a poor grip on the Belgium game. Very physical game and he did not seem consistent on what was and was not a foul.

    Lukaku with an immediate impact!

    Great game plan from Egypt who have really mucked this game up. Playing tight defensively through the middle and very physical. Belgium starting to get very frustrated. Belgium needs a good reset here at half before they make a frustration mistake and this goes to 2-0.

    What a game! Cape Verde was so disciplined defensively. That will go down as "upset" of the first round.

    Absolutely love that Cape Verde decided to make this one interesting. Would have been hard to watch a repeat of what Germany did yesterday.

    Hardest to watch next season.

    Anything involving Penn State will be annoying next year. It'll largely include the core of a team we all expected to compete for a Big-12 title. Milan will be annoying, but our basketball team will still be very good so it's hard to get too frustrated about that one.

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    Probably a bit of both for them. Looking just at Milan, if what is being reported is true, he is the highest paid college basketball player next year. I seriously doubt he is going to end up being the best player next season. Lets say his numbers dip just a bit off last years historic season, in...

    Milan Momcilovic commits to Kentucky

    This sucks from an uninformed optics perspective. There are a lot of really dumb takes about this situation flying around that don't really comport with reality. We all have a lot of pride in the basketball program so its unfortunate to see players transfer for sums we probably can't afford. It...
