Zlatan Ibrahimović on Canada qualifying for the FIFA World Cup Round of 16 for the first time ever:
🗣️ “This is why people fall in love with football. Today wasn't just about Canada qualifying for the Round of 16 it was about an entire nation creating history that nobody can ever take away.”
“I looked at the faces of the Canadian players after the final whistle. Some were crying, some couldn't believe what had just happened. Those weren't tears of weakness; they were tears of people who had spent their whole lives dreaming of this exact moment.”
“To the supporters, never let anyone tell you football is just a game. I saw families celebrating, children hugging their parents and fans singing with tears in their eyes. These are the moments that unite a country forever.”
“People will remember the goals and the result, but they'll never understand the sacrifices behind it. Years of criticism, disappointments, injuries and pressure have all led to one unforgettable night. That's what makes history so beautiful.”
“For every Canadian player wearing that shirt tonight, remember this feeling. You are no longer just footballers you are the generation that changed your country's football story forever. Every child who picks up a ball tomorrow will believe because of what you achieved today.”
“The knockout stage doesn't care about history, reputation or big names. It rewards courage, belief and those who refuse to give up. Canada earned this moment because they never stopped believing when the rest of the world doubted them.”
“And to the fans, celebrate like there's no tomorrow because nights like these don't come often. Years from now, people won't ask where you watched the match they'll ask how it felt to witness the night Canada reached the Round of 16 for the very first time.”
“This is bigger than football. This is the night an entire nation stopped dreaming about history and started living it.”

So I drive the 401 from Ottawa to Toronto a lot. It's bad.
It's bad because of transport trucks. Let's stop blaming the drivers of them and start blaming that we haven't restricted them to the right lanes permanently.
It's time.
A year ago, I won the lottery to play Augusta National.
It was the craziest, least believable break of my life. It was also, strangely, one of the loneliest.
But then I arrived at Magnolia Lane on Masters Monday, and realized I had it all wrong https://t.co/AQUxhUaZUI

36 years ago today: Kirk Gibson's pinch hit homer in Game 1 of the 1988 World Series.
Every future broadcaster should be shown this as an example on when not to talk.
Vin Scully didn't open his mouth for MORE THAN A MINUTE.
Our newly introduced seventh hole on The Valley is built on land previously used for our short course.
This hole plays to an infinity-edge green with the sea in the distance, offering breathtaking views from an elevated position.
