Suriname‘s push to qualify for its first World Cup has been fun to watch. Guatemala-Panamá later tonight will be something else as both teams need a win to keep pace in WCQ. #concacaf

Whatever happens tonight, I’ve enjoyed seeing the Dodgers lay it all out in the World Series. Both teams have been incredibly gritty.

My oldest is a HS junior, so I went to the college financial aid info session tonight. It is so quintessentially American that we’ve created a process that is wildly complicated, incredibly time-consuming, and unnecessarily expensive instead of just spending the money directly on higher education.

It was a riveting game to watch
Only one other player had ever been intentionally walked with the bases empty in a World Series game before last night when the Jays did it to Ohtani THREE times.

Last nigh might be the closest we‘ve seen to one player single-handily winning a baseball game. Ohtani was simply amazing. Great time to be a Dodgers fan. On to the World Series!

The FIFA pricing model for the World Cup penalises teams with the most loyal traveling support, typically this has been fans from across South America in recent tournaments. 2014/18/22 they brought the noise/numbers. Dynamic pricing model means FIFA will profit from their passion.

Entered Visa portal to buy World Cup tickets, which according to FIFA’s site starts at $60.
But as many have pointed out, that‘s a unicorn price. Reality? Cheapest available was actually $310 per ticket. Family of four? $1240. And for nose-bleed sections at Mercedes Benz Stadium.
No thanks.

The best 90 minutes under Pochettino vs a very good Ecuador squad.
Folarin Balogun shined and got a deserved goal to equalize Enner Valencia’s superb first half finish in #USMNT’s 1-1 draw with Ecuador.
