Time for Jerry to fire the entire staff! Not a single Coach is worth keeping. Fundamentals are trash on both sides of the ball.

Ismail Elfath, @UTAustin graduate and longtime Austin resident, served as a @FIFAWorldCup lead referee at the England and Argentina semifinal in Atlanta on Wednesday. Elfath returned to officiate another World Cup after undergoing a double knee surgery that nearly ended his career following the 2022 World Cup Final, and became the first American to serve as the lead referee for a FIFA World Cup semifinal. thedailytexan.com/2026/07/19…

Drove to Odessa, West Texas, 350 miles from the World Cup and scene of ‘Friday Night Lights’, to see if soccer is infiltrating a football heartland. A story about community, struggle, Juventus and Pochettino. dailymail.com/sport/football…

Wondering about that building next to #HoustonStadium? It’s called the #Astrodome and it hosted the city’s first marquee super match. #WorldCup #Houston #History

“It’s a special moment for me — especially as a player who grew up in Haiti.” El Paso Locomotive FC midfielder Carl Fred Sainté found out last week he earned a spot on Haiti’s roster for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Haiti is going to the World Cup for the first time since 1974, and Sainté is part of the team.

Last two teams to beat Furman in the NCAA Tournament have gone on to the national championship game. San Diego State lost to UConn in the 2023 final.

Houston's Asia Town and Chinatown delivers an authentic experience when it comes to food, people, and culture. If your coming to Houston for World Cup 2026, take a trip west of downtown and check this part of the city out! #HoustonTX #Houston2026 #WorldCup2026 #SoccerMatters
