As someone sitting in the sun, I’m *dying* out here. I can’t wait for it to go behind the stadium. It had to have been a major factor.
Yay! Awinzawin
Who will the next captain be, once Horan retires?
Lavelle? Girma? Fox? Naehrer? Swanson? Dunn?
Has to be one of the 11, though.

Amazing seats!
Hayes overwhelmed in her interview with Tirico. How very un-British of her.

Yeah - I got *very* lucky. I was supposed to see weightlifting tonight, and a couple friends of my wife’s from the embassy in Berlin had an extra seat that I was able to use. From not going at all to practically being on the field was pretty cool.
Girma. Naeher, Dunn and Lavelle are on the back 9 but could see any of them too if they stick around
Smith or Sonnett, probably. Girma has the talent but doesn't seem to have the leadership personality.
Nah, second one was offside. First one was onside and a great look that the Brazil player just kicked right to Naeher. In the end, the difference was that the Brazilian fluffed the break and Swanson didn't.
