It’s VERY smoky in Osoyoos, BC right now, with smoke from the Kaiser Canyon fire blowing up from Washington State. If you won’t manage your forests to prevent these fires there’s no telling what we’ll do. *see how stupid that sounds?
The decision to shut down SN650 is seismic. Losing another major sports media voice in Vancouver is a devastating loss.
That station has produced an incredible amount of talent and gave so many young voices a platform.
A sad day for sports media in this city.
@SadClubCommish They were in the 1st half, but only got one really good chance in that half, so you can't say they totally dominated the half.
Then Morocco was the better team in the 2nd half. Canada had moments where they pressed, but didn't generate enough Grade A chances.
@GrizzlyAdyms@danriccio_ Yes, not having a fully healthy team in general is the story, but Davies is the face of that group of unhealthy players, so he ultimately becomes the biggest part of that story.
@nuckshawks@RandipJanda Larin is a good finisher, so I wouldn't say he's miles better than him there. He honestly didn't look very good at all in this tournament aside from the Qatar game, where everyone looked good.
@GrizzlyAdyms@danriccio_ Both are equally defining stories. Yes, Canada did great to advance to the round of 16, but they also didn't beat anyone that they weren't supposed to beat. They got a favourable draw in both the group stage and the round of 32. Not sure if they'll move up the rankings much.
@nuckshawks@RandipJanda He looks to be no better than Larin. Decent finisher, but very little one-on-one ability and not much speed. He's entirely dependant on others to set him up to be successful.
@lepage_stuart@FarhanLaljiTSN@JayJanower But don't forget that Bayern Munich rushed him back for the Champions League semi-finals and he re-aggravated the injury.
Yes, we'll look back at this World Cup as a success for Canada. But in the moment, this feels like a huge disappointment and wasted opportunity.
They couldn't capitalize on a good first half and their best players didn't show up both figuratively (David) and literally (Davies).
@Ryley__Delaney I'm curious as to why Kamal Miller still isn't on the team. He's only 29, played every minute at the last World Cup and was arguably their best defender, and still plays a prominent role for the Portland Timbers.
A charter boat sank in BC’s Georgia Strait yesterday with 10 people aboard and 6 are still missing 💔
4 were rescued but 1 is in critical condition after several were found in the water without life jackets
