The World Cup is amazing because so many countries participate, however it could never happen in hockey. Could you imagine what the group stage would look like 😭
@CanMNTUniverse Is this a "who lost the least" competition? No. All three hosting countries should be proud of what they accomplished regardless of who they faced.
@KMbappe Merci de dénoncer ces propos racistes et inacceptables tenus par une dirigeante occupant un poste élevé. Encore une fois, Kylian, tu te démarques non seulement par ton talent, mais surtout par ton attitude exemplaire. Vive la France et vive la République! 🇫🇷
Madame Celeste Amarilla,
Vous êtes une femme méprisable et indigne de sa fonction.
Vous ne représentez pas le Paraguay, ce pays qui a transpiré la passion et l’honneur tout au long de la compétition. Par votre inconscience et votre racisme décomplexé, le monde entier a déjà oublié le parcours et l’effort historique que vos joueurs ont réalisés durant cette coupe du monde pour laisser place à une dame incompétente donnant la pire image possible de son pays.
Je ne laisserai jamais aux gens comme elle, la liberté de laisser propager leur haine et leur racisme à travers le monde.
I will never feel bad for athletes going broke.
It is estimated that around 80% of athletes face financial distress or bankruptcy a few years after retiring from their sport on a professional level.
It’s not "bad luck", but rather simply financial incompetence.
Carmelo Anthony explains why a $100,000,000 contract doesn’t make professional athletes rich for life
“$100 million… let’s not get that twisted.”
“It’s not really $100 million.”
“You’re taking 50% to 60% off the top.”
“So that $10 million becomes $5 million.”
“Then you’ve got taxes in every state you play in.”
“You’ve got a house.”
“You’re taking care of your mom.”
“You’ve got a 4% agent fee.”
“You’re not working with $10 million anymore, you’re working with $5 million.”
“That drastic lifestyle change is what messes a lot of athletes up mentally.”
“You’ve got to budget how you pay your mortgage.”
“You’ve got to budget your food.”
“$100 million is not $100 million.”
“You’re not even seeing 50% of that money.”
It was not a game 7 overtime win, but it happened on June 24th. It purely coincidental that this game happened on Saint-Jean-Baptiste Day, but it made the moment even more memorable.
Houston, we’ve got a problem! Canada, one of the hosting countries will once again be playing away during their World Cup. I understand why even if it should have been sorted out beforehand, but why is FIFA not capitalizing off Canada Day for this important event?
In 2021, the Montreal Canadiens defeated the Vegas Golden Knights in game 6 to reach the Stanley Cup Final for the first time since 1993 (which is also the last time a Canadian team won it).
