My hatred for Argentina in ⚽ is truly immeasurable

[fan @NoodleHairCR7]

VAR CHECKED THIS BUT DIDNT CHECK THIS

[David Paxton @DavidDPaxton]

The disgrace about trying to start any debate on the Falklands again is that it ignores what occurred in 1982. All debate ended there with the choice Argentina made. Took a gamble and lost. To try and crawl back to legitimate means is pathetic. Shameless and shameful.

[Matt Ilich @MattIlich]

This kind of brain dead thinking condemns countries to mediocrity.

[Daily Hive Vancouver @DailyHiveVan]

Opinion: #FIFAWorldCup was a reminder of BC Place Stadium's enduring and irreplaceable value ⚽️

Anyways.

@HoCStaffer Definitely beat me with this one

Man reinvents Qualifiers from first principles

[Mike Janela @MikeJanela]

Hear me out: FIFA should let every team on Earth into the World Cup

-Start with geographically based groups
-Spread the matches out over 2.5-3 years
-Have the top 32 or 48 teams from those groups meet in a single country for one last tournament to determine the winner

Thoughts?

@HettrickMichael The Embolo card was a very good example of what to do

One of the most stupid dives I’ve ever seen

[Ned Donovan @Ned_Donovan]

The problem with chanting “Ten Argie Bombers” is that the Argentine Air Force hasn’t got ten bombers.

@CdnElectWatch The PR China team is so bad that there’s legit no chance they’d get in without either it being hosted on the Mainland or if Japan and/or Korea host (which is exactly what happened in 2002; got knocked out in the group stage)

@DamianPenn28819 @HoCStaffer Tbh I didn't even know the reference, had to look that one up

[皓岩居士 (Gentleman-Scholar of Candid Rocks) 🌳🍁🇹🇼 @GMSaxCandid]

The flag of Calgary

A good example of “modernist flag done right”

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

Back to Canada for today's #FlagOfTheDay

[皓岩居士 (Gentleman-Scholar of Candid Rocks) 🌳🍁🇹🇼 @GMSaxCandid]

Just means we haven’t done enough.

And at least in my experience, a lot of it is wait times, esp in the suburbs. A 15min bus wait is *okay*, but 30min upwards is usually if not always absurd.

[Smirkley @Smirkley]

Transit takes about twice as long as driving in both Canada and the US

I’m actual a fan of public transportation but it’s cope to say having to drive to work is a tax on your time.

[Friends of the British Overseas Territories @BritishOverseas]

The people of the Falkland Islands are not an “artificially implanted” population. They are a permanent, democratic community with the internationally recognised right to determine their own future.

Repeated attempts to dismiss their identity or ignore their clearly expressed wishes do nothing to advance constructive dialogue. The Islanders have spoken unequivocally: they wish to remain a British Overseas Territory.

Their right to self-determination is not negotiable.

[皓岩居士 (Gentleman-Scholar of Candid Rocks) 🌳🍁🇹🇼 @GMSaxCandid]

Ah yes, the monstrosity that is the flag of Lethbridge AB

[HoCStaffer @HoCStaffer]

Today's #FlagOfTheDay is also in Alberta. A different municipality.

Jerusalem really isn’t a bad hymn

[George | 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 @itsgeorge05]

AND DID THOSE FEET IN ANCIENT TIME WALK UPON ENGLAND’S MOUNTAINS GREEN

[皓岩居士 (Gentleman-Scholar of Candid Rocks) 🌳🍁🇹🇼 @GMSaxCandid]

For all the people who are saying Argentine refs again:

Those flags are for 2 Salvadorans, 1 Nicaraguan and 2 Swedes…

[FIFA @FIFAcom]

The match officials for @FIFAWorldCup match 101 have been appointed. 🤝

[nostalgia hub 🇫🇰 @IL0VEthe80s]

FACT: British Captain John Strong and his crew were the first to ever walk on the Falkland Islands in 1690.

Anyone else who has tried to claim the islands since then has been an invader.

[🏳️‍🌈 Gavin Barrie 🏳️‍🌈 &✂️TQ+ @jammach]

Fun fact. The Falklands islands have never belonged to Argentina nor was ever settled by Argentina.

It’s been a British territory, named since 1765 when claimed by an expedition by Captain John Byron for George 3rd.

It has been British longer than America has existed.

@Prominent_Bryan France will do it trust

[皓岩居士 (Gentleman-Scholar of Candid Rocks) 🌳🍁🇹🇼 @GMSaxCandid]

@Prominent_Bryan Yeah Embolo is the war criminal of the match, easily
