Americans currently recovering from the most expensive turkey comas in recent memory must now prepare for complications in Christmas tree markets that will lead to higher prices.

Families pining for a real tree to spruce up their living rooms should have no problem finding their desired conifer. Approximately 86% of individuals responding to a survey from the Real Christmas Tree Board said that they had no problems finding a place nearby to purchase a tree, representing a level comparable to last year.

“We expect this year to be no different,” Real Christmas Tree Board Executive Director Marsha Gray remarked. “The grower survey tells us demand is healthy. Retailers see steady consumer interest in real Christmas trees and right now supply is pretty well matched to that interest.”

Roughly 67% of wholesale growers expect to sell all of the trees they harvest, while 55% expect to sell the same number of trees as last year. With respect to input prices, however, the vast majority of wholesalers foresaw cost increases. Growers are therefore increasing prices for end buyers, with 71% planning to raise prices between 5% and 15%.

Supply chain bottlenecks and the impact of consumer demand upon sales are among the primary risk factors confronting growers. Roughly 44% of respondents identified the former issue as their greatest concern, while 35% mentioned the latter.

“There are no plot twists in the real Christmas tree story this year,” Gray continued. “While our grower survey tells us wholesale prices are likely to be higher for real Christmas trees this year, our consumer survey tells us people expected as much. The good news is fans of real Christmas trees say they believe the trees are worth the price and they are willing to pay more this year if necessary to get one — and that’s not a surprise either.”

The higher expected Christmas tree costs occur after Americans spent record amounts on Thanksgiving celebrations. The cost of the meal has risen 20% since last year, according to an analysis from the American Farm Bureau Association.

“General inflation slashing the purchasing power of consumers is a significant factor contributing to the increase in average cost of this year’s Thanksgiving dinner,” Farm Bureau Chief Economist Roger Cryan remarked in a press release. “Other contributing factors to the increased cost for the meal include supply chain disruptions and the war in Ukraine. The higher retail turkey cost at the grocery store can also be attributed to a slightly smaller flock this year, increased feed costs and lighter processing weights.”

The most recent inflation report from the Bureau of Labor Statistics appears to indicate that contractionary moves from the Federal Reserve are causing price level increases to slow. President Joe Biden nevertheless claimed that the lower headline inflation number showed “a much-needed break” in rising price levels because of his aggressive legislative agenda.

“Today’s report shows that we are making progress on bringing inflation down, without giving up all of the progress we have made on economic growth and job creation,” he said in a statement from the White House. “My economic plan is showing results, and the American people can see that we are facing global economic challenges from a position of strength.”

American soccer fans trolled the World Cup during the U.S. Men’s National Team’s match against England.

Toward the end of the first half of the Group B matchup between the U.S. and England, fans in the stands erupted in chants of “it’s called soccer!” Videos from social media showed fans participating in the chant. American soccer fans used the chant to troll England on Twitter after the two countries played to a draw.

FOX Soccer shared a clip of the chant during the game.

Even before the U.S. matched up with England, U.S. fans were trolling other countries. Fox Soccer shared a video of former NFL star Chad “Ochocinco” Johnson leading the chant at a watch party on Monday.

Snack giant FritoLay even stepped into the debate, producing a commercial about the “football” vs. “soccer” debate, directed by Michael Bay and starring NFL legend Peyton Manning, English soccer legend David Beckham, Mexican soccer player Javier “Chicharito” Hernández, and American soccer legends Mia Hamm, Julie Foudy, Brandy Chastain, and Tim Howard.

Twitter users jumped on the bandwagon after the matchup ended in a draw.

“[I]t’s called soccer till y’all can beat us at the world cup,” entrepreneur and former The Athletic Soccer managing editor George Quraishi wrote on Twitter.

“[I]t’s still called soccer,” DraftKings sports book tweeted.

“It’s called soccer!!! 🤣🤣🤣” legendary former MLB pitcher C.C. Sabathia laughed.

“It’s called soccer now idc🤷🏿‍♂️🇺🇸,” wrote American soccer player Daryl Dike, who plays professionally for West Bromwich Albion of the English Football League

“IT’S CALLED SOCCER!!! 🗣🇺🇸” the Philadelphia Union tweeted.

Contrary to popular belief, the word “soccer” being used to describe the game otherwise known as football actually comes from England. According to Encyclopedia Britannica, students at the University of Oxford in the 1880s differentiated between association football and rugby football by calling association football “assoccer,” which was later shortened to “soccer.” But the nickname didn’t stick, and by the 20th century, rugby went from being called “rugger” to “rugby,” while association football became known as simply football.

When gridiron football emerged in the United States in the late 19th century, it quickly became known simply as football, and soccer was used to differentiate between the two sports. The organizing body of American association football became the United States Soccer Football Association in 1945, and later dropped “football” altogether.

Outside the U.S., association football is called “soccer” in Canada, Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Canada, South Africa, and Ireland.

The U.S. and England dueled to a draw in their group stage matchup Friday. The game was defined by defense, as neither team was able to score a goal in a game that went into extra time, though Christian Pulisic and Weston McKennie both took shots that hit the post outside the goal. The end result leaves the U.S. in third place in Group B, but the team could still find their way to a berth in the top 16 if they defeat Iran in the final game of the group stage on Tuesday.

England remains in first place in Group B, and can advance in the tournament by defeating Wales in the final game; they can still make the top 16 if they lose by less than 4 as well.
