    Clubs and other orgs can spend many months and 1000s of dollars designing what they hope is the perfect logo. But over the past 24 hours an impromptu gesture by the USWNT has turned this - from an inside-out warmup shirt - into maybe the most iconic crest imagery of the year

    Watching Giorgio Chiellini on the Fox Euros desk, I keep thinking about how he took it upon himself to learn English during his playing days (along w/ bachelors and MBA degrees) just b/c he wanted to and thought it would eventually be useful. It's set him up for life after footy.

    I've watched this about 50 times today
    Leeds United in the mismatched home/away kit engaging in some low level bad behaviour. This is football heritage.

    Murder in the mixed zone🗡️ Virgil van Dijk, asked whether Cody Gakpo "can perform at the Manchester Uniteds, Real Madrids of this world": "Is Manchester United and Real Madrid the same level at the moment? "No disrespect ... I think he definitely has a next step in him."

    Love the idea of incorporating #dataviz here - as you can see this is a graph of USMNT ticket prices in the 20th century
