@ploddercfc As a Brit living in Toronto with dual citizenship, I am very excited about this. Canada are playing well. I just worry that tempers are going to get further frayed so please Canada keep your heads and keep 11 men on the pitch
@WakingtheRed@BTFR17@ShaunReports I have 6 - the 6 times I participated in the pre match ceremonies helping carry one of the huge flags. If I had to pick one: Canada’s first game, knowing my son James was in the crowd and hearing Alannis Morissette singing the anthem - moved me to tears
@AntiWar804@TorontoStar i wish we had spent more money on it but it has been a fantastic venue, and I say this as a volunteer who had the privilege to be on the pitch for all 6 games. Electric atmosphere and the fans were completely engaged.
@iamkennethchan Why is this an issue? It went brilliantly. Roberto Martinez said he loved it here and wished there were more games in Toronto. You are talking nonsense.
@1960Boz@henrywinter It is not in his skill set. Not sure what is actually in his skill set. Very little. Arsenal are welcome to him and he should never be playing for England.
@fabiotb@nickverlaney Yes. Play him FFS. He’s solid and reliable and the rest of the defence isn’t. And why Tuchel didn’t bring Colwill is completely beyond me.
Tomorrow marks 32 years since the killing of Andres Escobar following an own goal the then-Colombia defender scored at the 1994 World Cup.
His brother Santiago wants him to be remembered for more than that.
In an exclusive interview with @FelipeCar, he speaks about his unbreakable bond with Andrés and his continued grief.
"I don't understand the death of a person who only did what he loved most, which was play football, entertain people, give joy to his fans, and give everything for his country, for his city."

A poem from Charles Bukowski's "On Cats", published posthumously, 21 years after his passing in 1994.
My Cats
I know. I know.
they are limited, have different
needs and
concerns.
but I watch and learn from them.
I like the little they know,
which is so
much.
they complain but never
worry,
they walk with a surprising dignity.
they sleep with a direct simplicity that
humans just can't
understand.
their eyes are more
beautiful than our eyes.
and they can sleep 20 hours
a day
without
hesitation or
remorse.
when I am feeling
low
all I have to do is
watch my cats
and my
courage
returns.
I study these
creatures.
they are my
teachers.

🇨🇦 O Canada! 🇨🇦
Where pines and maples grow.
Great prairies spread and lordly rivers flow.
How dear to us thy broad domain,
From East to Western sea.
Thou land of hope for all who toil!
Thou True North, strong and free!
In 159 years, Canada has never been more united. That’s because an adjudicated rapist & convicted felon threatened to make us the 51st state.
From coast to coast, we’re proud to be Canadian… and interested in the daily obituaries.
🇨🇦 Happy Canada Day.
FUCK DONALD TRUMP.
