#CanMNT is set to replace Moïse Bombito on its World Cup roster after the team determined the centre back's surgically repaired leg is not healthy enough for him to compete, multiple sources tell @TSN_Sports Sources also say decision meant to prioritize Bombito's long-term health
Félicitations à la FIFA pour avoir attribué la Coupe du Monde à un pays capable de retenir pendant 7 heures un joueur qui n’a jamais fait parler de lui autrement que par ses performances sur le terrain.
Quand le meilleur buteur de l’Irak, qualifié pour le plus grand événement sportif de la planète, peut être traité comme un suspect à son arrivée, difficile de ne pas s’interroger sur l’accueil qui sera réservé à certaines sélections (Iran) et à leurs supporters.
Pendant des années, chaque aspect de l’organisation au Qatar a été scruté, commenté et critiqué. J’espère que les États-Unis feront l’objet du même niveau d’exigence et de la même couverture médiatique.
Bravo, Monsieur Infantino.
@EyeDoug1874@RaeComm Good point. I always watch them leading up to a tournament and think they look outstanding. Somehow it rarely translates to the big match.
HALF TIME: Bolivia 0-4 Scotland.
A fantastic four for Scotland at the break, courtesy of Lawrence Shankland, Scott McTominay and a Ché Adams brace.
Lovely stuff in New Jersey.

@GarethWheeler Scoring in open play will be a struggle if this continues. Starters up top not getting it done, and hopeful long shots into row 4 don't help from Millar et al.
One of the strongest first halves #CanMNT has had under Marsch (Ukraine, Honduras, Romania). Finishing is lacking(again), but Canada controlled and pushed the pace and Ireland looked bagged as the half went on. That and the 'O Canada': can't ask for a better start @TSN_Sports
Every year, we're forced to do the 'could a random guy beat an LPGA pro' so I will again remind everyone that Michelle Wie played a PGA Tour event at 14, and beat three of the Top 25 in the world. She was a child and she beat Adam Scott who would win the Players two months later.
@CantonaCymru@cw_131007@owskie81@forestmad80 Now now, I am not trying to get into a pissing match on Wales vs Canada, just that it is silly to think they would "smash" the group given they have not beaten the two weaker sides to the Swiss. I love watching Wales, especially N Williams as a Forest fan.
WE'VE GOT A GOALKEEPER ✅
After much deliberation, Jesse Marsch reveals Maxime Crépeau will start on Friday vs. Republic of Ireland, and, thus, will start for the CanMNT 🇨🇦 at the World Cup 🧤
Marsch: "This is the hardest decision I've had to make in my coaching career"
