Tom Brady helping Mike Macdonald prepare for the Patriots would be a huge slap in the face to the New England region.

That would be egregious if that was true. I don't believe it is true. But if it were, that would be unforgivable. Not unforgivable. That would be a, a blemish, a big blemish. Big time. It'd be a slap in the face of the whole region.

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.

Prediction Soccer Mild

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.

Prediction Soccer Medium

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.

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.
