Soccer fans in the 50 states can breathe a sigh of relief after more than 90 minutes of World Cup action. They continued to post through it all.
The US advanced to the next stage of the World Cup thanks to a nail-biting win over Iran. The Americans barely held on for the last 30 minutes of the game. The online experience was great. At least in the US. That was really frightening. There were a lot of jokes about sweating out.

Tyler Adams, the U.S. captain, was asked about discrimination in America and how he can represent a country with racism. After Adams responded, the clip went crazy.

As the game went on, the posts continued to focus on geopolitics. Normal people and pro athletes don't have much to do with the politicians.

Christian Pulisic got injured while scoring the only goal of the game. He appeared to have taken a knee to the groin area. The jokes came in as usual.
