Chicago, what time we had! Two months in #summerchi with the most talented, delightful people I can imagine on an assignment I used to only dream about: Covering the #worldcup every single day for The Athletic FC: Daily Cup and @theathletichq’s World Cup Briefing — and, of course, a quick visit to @sportsgossip !

I don’t have enough words to thank everyone who made it so good, but thank you to @bannerstudios for being the most welcoming and incredible crew, @patrickdahl for guiding us through every day with humor and excellence, @mmburbank for captaining the ship, @make.one.mo for putting me at ease and making me look good every single day. @vikchokshi33 for believing in me. Thanks to my cohosts, @tamerra_nikol, @jmcnik, @carl.anka and @jaydmharris, who in just a few weeks became true friends and my emotional support system. And @sprowder, @torreyhart and @philhay.athletic, making that newsletter with you all was a life highlight.

And thank you to my FAMILY for coming out to experience it alongside me!

So honored to work with @theathleticfc, @theathletichq and excited for what’s next. taken in Chicago, Illinois by @hannahvanbiber

The stories on the pitch? Incredible.

But what about those off the pitch? From Scotland's fans creating a floating pub in Boston to the heartwarming bromance between Jude Bellingham and Erling Haaland, off-pitch moments stole the spotlight. We reveal the top three viral stories of the tournament, including Norway's legendary Viking Row celebration.

Which off-field moment has been your absolute favourite?

How well does the Daily Cup crew know sports movies? 🎬

We put them to the test with everything from Raging Bull and Friday Night Lights to Hoosiers and Cool Runnings. Some were instant gets. Others... not so much.

The World Cup's hottest trend isn't a boot or a jersey.

It's shorter shorts.

And it's more than just a fashion statement.

In England, football chants are born in pubs and on the walk to the stadium.

In America, they're often shared by QR code and coordinated by supporters' groups.

So are U.S. soccer chants less authentic, or just a tradition still finding its voice?
