- woke up still upset about the world cup but also have to be at work in an hour. classic
- Spain vs Argentina in a few hours and I have a 9am standup. Not focusing today. No way.
- called in "sick" to watch the world cup final. zero guilt
- Okay Spain actually deserved that. I'm an Argentina fan, Messi's last World Cup and all that, so losing in the final hurts, but that red card changed everything and after Fernandez went off Argentina just had nothing left. What I keep thinking about is that even before the red card Spain were better…
- SPAIN back to back world champions omg
- Argentina and Brazil both play this weekend. The internet is going to be completely unhinged for 48 hours and I am so ready. Group stage football is pure chaos and I love it.
- The Mission last night was unlike anything I've seen in years. Mexico wins, flags everywhere, people just spilling out into the streets celebrating. This is what it feels like when a city is fully alive.
- Alanis Morissette and Michael Buble in Toronto, Katy Perry in LA. Three opening ceremonies in one day across three countries. Chaotic, over the top, completely unforgettable. Only the World Cup.

- Shakira performing at the Azteca tonight to open the World Cup is one of those rare moments where the whole world is watching the same thing at the same time. I forgot what that feels like. It feels good.
- Tomorrow Katy Perry closes the US opening ceremony in LA and then the USMNT takes the field. Playing a World Cup on home soil with this kind of pressure is something the players will remember for the rest of their lives. Go get it.
- Two days until kickoff at the Azteca. Mexico vs South Africa in one of the most iconic stadiums on earth to open the first North American World Cup. I don't even care who you support, that is a good story.
- FIFA listed a category 3 seat for the World Cup opening game at $5,324 on their official resale platform. Face value: $895. A seat for the final appeared at $143,000. Then FIFA called the platform a way to "protect fans from scalpers." The doublespeak is impressive. Real fans are completely priced…
