That’s my idea of a pretty good day…

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@Gosleepriya It could be 116 by moving the matchstick in the 4…

@rodmickleburgh For a night match, no less…🫤

@RobTheHockeyGuy @HarJournalist He’s only seen about ten square feet of it…😏

@FantasyTactical Needs to be permanent to eliminate that worst element of the sport. Almiron absolutely deserved it…

@jamessharman @footy_prime Prawn sandwich at BC Place Stadium: $21.75 😏

@Pulcys Uh oh, I’m getting old. I don’t know who that is, and I don’t care…🤨

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@HarJournalist Not like the grass is getting any sun right now. Wouldn’t the cool sea air be a relief?

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@MikeMartignago I know you’re lying…🤨😏

@SatireAP @meiselasb A good metaphor for the #Trump presidency, really…🤨

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@Cat5SMASHICANE He’s pretty skilled. Could probably light the match to start the bonfire to follow…😏

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

Now that The Kennedy Center is back, can we get on that Gulf of Mexico issue?

Fuck #Trump.

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@PierrePoilievre But you are not. You’re a part of the government, and your identity on this platform is solely down to that.

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@talkSPORT Absolutely agree with him! As long as it doesn’t slow the match down too much, it’s worthwhile to get this out of the sport…

@Microinteracti1 I’d expect nothing less from a person of your intellect and taste. You MUST be a ⚽️ fan…

⚽️ 🇲🇽 🇨🇦 🇺🇸 I have just had the best day on this app that I can remember. My feed, which is normally a place of grievance and doom, has been taken over entirely by people dancing.

Mexicans singing in the streets. Canadians hugging strangers, which for Canadians is practically riotous behavior. Americans waving flags from countries they couldn’t have located on a map last Tuesday, and meaning it warmly.

And then there’s the video attached here, which may be my favorite thing. A group of South Korean fans arrived at the stadium with tequila, were told they couldn’t bring it inside, and did the only sensible thing: they stood at the gates and drank it. All of it. Together. And then, because joy of this kind cannot be contained, they invited the Mexican fans to join in. Diplomacy at its absolute finest, conducted entirely in shots.

The whole world has turned up in three countries at once, and everyone seems delighted that everyone else came.

There is something quietly wonderful about football’s ability to do this. No summit achieved it. No treaty. Just a ball, and several million people who decided that today, joy was the better option.

So, a small warning to those of you who follow me: the next month will contain a great deal of football. Possibly nothing but football. If that sounds unbearable, the snooze and mute buttons are right there, and I promise not to take it personally.

The geopolitics will still be here when we get back. Sadly, it always is.

@LucasSa56947288 They should’ve sold tickets for that; would’ve outsold the UFC fight…

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@JoJoFromJerz Or a hurricane, or a tornado, or even locusts…🤨

@LeagueOne25 Source?

[The Chambersian One @machambe]

@RpsAgainstTrump Losing his form, I’d say. Lifting too much, I’d say…
