Congrats to @peter_king on the launch of his new book, “The Game.” After covering the NFL for 40 years, he hit the road and re-visited (with new reporting) some of the biggest stories from his career. A must-read for sports fans and a journalism masterclass. Bravo, PK!

Sweden’s Viktor Gyökeres after losing to France: “They come in different positions. They’re not static. They know each other well in how they move and the connection between each other. So of course when they have that quality and that movement, it’s going to be tough.” @NBCNews

Jude Bellingham on Harry Kane, who today became England’s all-time leading scorer in World Cup games: “It’s an honor to play with him. For me, he’s the best England player of all time. He’s the one who showed up more than anyone, more than any England player.” @NBCNews

After the Norway-Senegal game, @NBCNews’ Doha Madani asked Norway manager Ståle Solbakken about the Golden Boot race between Messi, Mbappé, and Haaland. Here’s what he said:

Norway’s Erling Haaland after scoring two goals today against Senegal, giving him four now in two WC games: “It’s my speciality to score goals,” he said. “It’s like many other things, I’m just really good at scoring goals.” @NBCNews

Man of the match Kylian Mbappé after scoring two goals against Senegal. He took a few questions in French, said “Merci beaucoup. Au revoir,” and then was whisked away @NBCNews

Overall, taking NJ Transit was a surprisingly painless process. About one hour all told, and we got to hear some singing along the way. Reminder, the $98 is a round-trip fare. Look, we made it. (5/5)

—Brazilian fans sing on the train —2:07: train arrives directly outside MetLife stadium (4/5)

—employees at Secaucus station wore special NJ Transit kits —1:49: train departs Secaucus (3/5)

—everyone is given a purple “NJ Transit” wristband, which we’ll need for the ride there and back —1:30: walk through an otherwise empty Penn Station —1:31: board train —1:33: train departs Penn Station —1:41: train arrives Secaucus, need to transfer trains (2/5)
