@ImmaGonnaWeen@craigforrest1 I was at a watch party yesterday for Canada vs. Bosnia in Kitchener, ON. I counted at least six visible ethnicities. There were many others. A guy who helped me fix my flat tire was Croatian... All cheering Canada on.
We're better with diversity.
This is what a home World Cup should look like. By all means, cheer for your country of ethnicity too, but cheer for the country you make your home in first!
Allez les Rouges!
@WakingtheRed This is what happens when a high press gets exposed. We didn't have our usual speed to be able to play as high as we were.
Miller is slow and it showed. We adjusted in the second half and looked good until Tajon got a silly red.
@AuschwitzMuseum This is a stark reminder that not only Jewish people were rounded up and put in camps and sent to their deaths. Irena was a political prisoner as indicated by her red inverted triangle.
We need constant reminders that hate holds no bounds. It only sees enemies.
@nexta_tv Oh how history repeats. WWI The Treaty of Versailles punishes Germany and forces them to cede huge swathes of land and punishes them for a war they didn't start, sending their economy into the doldrums. Fast forward a few years and a nationalist leader lays claim to Europe...
If we crack the top 30 in the lead up to #WorldCup2026 at home in Canada, I will be very happy.
The sport in this country has grown leaps in bounds in terms of support and the quality on the pitch. We're now beating or drawing the best nations in our region.
@WakingtheRed@DiMarzio@ShaunReports I pulled a hammy when I read that. His delusion is incredible. He'd struggle to make Podunk FC's roster in a third tier Sunday pub beer league.
@jamessharman Berna was never the problem for me. He truly did the best he could with what he was surrounded with. The issue was Insigne and his lack of grit, injury prone and over-inflated ego. I'm genuinely going to miss Berna, but don't blame him for wanting to move on.
@CanMNTonly It was always going to be a gamble listing him on the roster with Porto being in the Club World Cup, but I understand why Marsch did it.
This is less the fault of Marsch and more the fault of the powers that be trying to squeeze every last dying minute out players for profit.
@craigforrest1@FIFAWorldCup@footy_prime The City of Toronto is out at the corner of Queen and Spadina begging for spare change just to put the event on due to budgetary shortfalls, yet FIFA are charging obscene numbers for early bird ticket access.
@TrentTelenko I can't believe I'm agreeing with him. That said, I don't think Ukraine should cede their territory like he does. If they capitulate and cede that land, Putin effectively wins and it won't stop him from taking other neighbouring countries because he knows the odds favour him.
In what universe is this not a penalty kick? @CNationsLeague, that's where. @Concacaf need to do better. The fact that this wasn't at least checked by VAR is absurd. I can understand why the ref missed it due to his positioning, but what's the point of VAR if we don't check?
