To many Democrats, Senator @ossoff looks like a future president. I asked more than two dozen people close to him whether the man on stage matches the man off it. The gap was not authenticity. On camera and off, they described the same person: less politician, more investigator.

Most people watch the World Cup from a cafe or a couch. Jordan’s fans watch it at 5:00 AM from a 1,900-year-old ancient theatre. 🇯🇴 Football with a view like this hits different. 🏛️🤩

64 teams would make much more sense. Or 48 teams but only top 2 in each group advance (8 best winners get a bye, the other 16 teams have a playoff round like Champions League).

Replying to @NateSilver538
I've sort of resigned myself to the fact that FIFA will eventually expand to 64 teams in 16 groups, which would further reduce high-quality group-stage matches but does make the format a lot more symmetric, with the top 2 from each group strictly advancing.
