The toxicity towards Christian Pulisic proves America is finally a real soccer country

I think with the amount of vitriol that has gone towards Christian Pulisic, we have shown for the first time we might be a real soccer country because that actually, it's nuts how he's gotten bashed by everyone. The fact that it's gotten so toxic towards this one guy, it's like, oh shit. Maybe we could become a country that people cared that much about it.

This is a subjective cultural take on fandom.

France is unstoppable in the 2026 World Cup

When we first got the bracket, I said I was gonna go chalk and just bet on France. They just seem like there's nothing that you can do to stop him. France looks unstoppable.

France was eliminated in the semifinals of the 2026 FIFA World Cup after losing 2-0 to Spain. They subsequently lost the third-place playoff match to England with a score of 6-4, demonstrating they were not 'unstoppable'.

England will beat the Netherlands and then lose a heartbreaking match to Argentina

I think England's gonna win this weekend. And then you'll have the realization that it might not actually be coming home after all... losing to Argentina at that stage, that would be the most heartbreaking loss they could possibly have.

PFT Commenter's prediction was partially correct. England did not play the Netherlands; the Netherlands lost to Morocco in the knockout stages of the 2026 World Cup. However, England did lose a heartbreaking semi-final match to Argentina by a score of 2-1 on July 15, 2026, with Argentina scoring a stoppage-time winner.

Christian Pulisic is clearly not and cannot be the face of US soccer

I'm just sick of relying on him [Pulisic] to be the face of US soccer because it can't be, it's so clear that he's not.

Derrick Henry is one of the last running backs with a Hall of Fame case

He's gonna be one of the last running backs that's gonna go into the Hall. Hall of Fame for running backs is gonna get very difficult soon.

Hall of Fame selection is partly subjective, and the future class of running backs has not been determined.

The Bears' offense may be record-breaking under Ben Johnson

Ben Johnson said, 'We're trying to break the record,' and so far, obviously small sample size, one game, good start.

The Bears' full-season offensive output has not been resolved.

I am giving Ben Johnson total control

I will hand over all free will and thought and just give it to him and be like, whatever you say, I will just do whatever you decide. I will say, yes, that was the correct decision.
