Well lookie here. @TorontoFC jacked the price of supporters section tickets to $259 face value for the Inter Miami game this weekend… Season ticket holders can’t sell their tickets for more than $42 though. #TFCLive

@TorontoFC @onesoccer It isn’t even on OneSoccer’s channel on Fubo. We need a separate OneSoccer subscription to watch it?!

[James Kennedy @jmkca]

@onesoccer @MLS_Canada This is embarrassing. Can’t even watch it on Apple or Fubo and now we need to get a 3rd subscription to watch TFC.

We are Americans.

We are the most powerful nation on the planet.
What defines us is not our power to dominate the weak.
What demonstrates our character is not our capacity to traumatize the afflicted.
What speaks our truth is not how we taunt, deride or belittle the embattled, broken or battered.

We are:
The country of the Marshall Plan
The nation of The Berlin Airlift
The nation whose leader said, “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.”

We are at our best when we are resolute against evil -- not when we kowtow to those who perpetrate it.
We tell our truth when we defend the weak -- not when we do it only if we get protection money.
We are America when our leaders call the dictators dictators and those who fight to defend democracy against tyranny what they are: heroes.

Donald Trump and JD Vance didn't show strength today -- they showed weakness.

They belittled a giant and showed just how small they are.

They have the most vaunted titles in the world: President and Vice President of The United States of America. But the title doesn't make the man. And today both men brought shame to their titles.

A weary warrior was before them. A beleaguered man who has lost thousands of his friends and comrades to the unjust and illegal aggression of an authoritarian leader.

They showed no grace; no magnanimity of spirit; no diplomatic acumen. They were small bullies with big titles and they disrespected the history and legacy of the nation they lead.

Today, Donald Trump acted more like Russia's Putin than America's President.

⚽️🇨🇦 This is what "moving the game forward" looks like at @OntarioIsSoccer...
⬇️ A good friend and coaching colleague of mine recently sent me the 2024 Halton Region Soccer Association U14 Boys Integrated Model (IModel) Qualification Tournament schedule (see below). As you can see, the team from his particular club will play 11 games in 14 days, including days where there are back-to-back 80-minute games at 8am and 11am on the same day.

⬇️ The link here:
https://t.co/usw8JuXVNf
will direct you to the page on Ontario Soccer's website, where they outline the "intentions" of the IModel program, which include the "goal to unify the soccer community and continue moving the game forward by introducing modern solutions and concepts." Incredibly, listed amongst these "modern solutions and concepts" is "seasonal periodization."

🙄 My question to anybody at Ontario Soccer, but specifically President @PeterAugruso, CEO @Jmizz20, and/or "Director of Development" @matt_f90, is:
Do you actually believe that a U14 boys' competition schedule in which teams must play 11 games in 14 days, plus back-to-back games on the same day with less than 90 minutes' rest between games, is aligned with your stated mandates of "seasonal periodization" and "moving the game forward"?

⬇️ The fact that the leadership at Ontario Soccer accepted this competition schedule is evidence that they neither care for, nor value the health and safety of the young soccer players competing in their sanctioned "developmental" leagues. Change my mind.

I condemn Thursday’s incident in Gaza in which more than 100 people were reportedly killed or injured while seeking life-saving aid.

The desperate civilians in Gaza need urgent help, including those in the north where the @UN has not been able to deliver aid in more than a week.
