Republicans Root on the US Mens National Soccer

It’s occurring.

Thursday marked the start of FIFA 2026 World Cup play, across the United States, Canada, and Mexico, with first recreation being performed south of the border.

Now, it is our flip in the highlight! The U.S. hosts its premiere event recreation, with the males’s workforce representing the good ol’ USA getting a start in the tourney by taking part in its first recreation against Paraguay (in a Group D pairing) on Friday evening in L.A,

Earlier this week, the Republicans and Democrats held their own pleasant competitors on Wednesday evening – although, this one occurs yearly – the charity Congressional Baseball Game held at Nationals Park in D.C. My colleague Nick Arama shared the not-all-that-shocking outcomes, with the GOP beating the Dems in short order, 11-2. And if you missed Deputy Managing Ed. Susie Moore’s senator, Eric Schmitt (R-MO), making a heroic play in the outfield, you must take a look-see in the story linked below.

Back to soccer. As I beforehand wrote, the Department of Homeland Security has been prepping for months to make sure that every recreation venue for the FIFA event is secure and secure for friends and members, between now and July 19 when the worldwide soccer competitors ends.
