Mostly talk football - sometimes music and gaming. Canadian in the UK. Host one of the UK's biggest ghost story podcasts, check it out in link below! YNWA
So could England and you'd have the added bonuses of..
The oldest football nation on earth with fans able to walk up to stadiums rather than being located 20 miles outside of the city in a former swamp. Walking past houses, cafes, pubs where you can feel the energy build.
Enjoy that pint and a sing song in a real pub in a real housing estate next to the stadium rather than 12 different concessions that all sell burgers at a mall/airport stadium concession centre.
Pricing that demands ALL fans can realistically attend rather than a cock waving wanker telling everyone he paid a million dollars for his ticket.
Communities that live a breathe the game instead of pretending they know what they're talking about for a month every 4 years.
Stadiums that are built for the game, generate noise rather than spaceship sized Disneylands that generate zero football atmosphere.
A chance for supporters to visit any one of 100 professional clubs stadiums in one small country, many within a 10 mile radius, where 150 year old rivalries have played out. You'll end up buying the shirt of a shitty club in a random town you've never heard of and it'll hit like crack for the rest of your life.
A travel experience by car or rail that could see you get to any ground from any other in 4, not 14 hours.
An opportunity to have jellied eels before going into the London stadium, jerk chicken or jollof rice at Arsenal , world class Balti pies at Villa Park or homemade top class pies at Anfield by @HomebakedBakery then sitting on the world famous Kop or beautiful new Everton stadium for a game.
Let the American mind boggle as St James's Park sits squarely in the City centre of Newcastle, not 20 miles out.
Stay in London and visit 15 or 16 professional clubs in one city.
Visit the @NFM_Shop and understand 150 years of English football culture, footballs and shirts that are half the age of your country, the world's most fascinating collection of football history.
Not everyone wants bigger, more expensive or corporate. Most fans across the globe proudly campaign for affordable pricing so that EVERYONE can enjoy and be a part of this sport.
I'll invite you to Spain and Portugal and Morocco , as my guest, for the next edition. Football cultures that from Seville to Barcelona to Bilbao to Marrakech to Lisbon to Porto to Vigo highlight difference in cultures, regions, cities and football experiences. A 24/7 living and breathing passion for the sport that unless experienced, cannot be fully comprehended or appreciated.
If you like big, corporate, burger concessioned, greed driven pricing, sure, America wins.
But if you want your mind blown, you'll go to a World Cup in Italy, Spain, England, Germany, Brazil, Argentina. I guarantee, even in jest, you'll realise how naive your comments are.
I still maintain that, as a host country, #CANMNT should have had two shots to stay in Canada in the knockouts.
Second place in this group should’ve played in Toronto.
That result is a massive gut punch, Canada were more than good enough to get a draw at least.
Such a costly mistake by Crépeau decided it.
It’s probably a massive compliment to the team that I’m disappointed we didn’t top the table, all things considered.
Lumumba Vea — real name Michel Kuka Mboladinga — is a former baker turned impersonator who pays tribute to DR Congo's first prime minister, Patrice Lumumba.
He is in position in Guadalajara for his country's game against Colombia.
“He has this special aura. He’s a proper statue.” - DR Congo fan Louis Mukoma.
@diegobromfield Why can't they have a "3 seconds in the paint" type rule instead? Like, obviously you can't just sit around the goal for the easy lay up. But if I steal the ball, I should not have to wait for everyone to get in position for me to go score.
Wow Mark Carney gave an incredible speech to Team Canada after they beat Qatar 6-0….and the guy knows ball….🇨🇦💪….imagine having this….Trump would go in there talking about his ballroom and drone port
For those that are unaware, Canada made it to the semi final of the Copa America, going out to eventual winners Argentina.
I’m not saying we are going to win the World Cup, but I back us to get something against the Swiss and top our group.
I’m absolutely gutted for Kone, he’s been fantastic so far.
That said, he is clearly hard as nails with how chill he seems about his leg being snapped in half.
Hoping for a quick recovery.
These hydration breaks are really starting to piss me off.
Let’s be honest, they are nothing more than an ad break opportunity. Also, blasting music through the stadium during them - it’s so weird people can’t sit for 3 minutes without constant stimulation.
My 14 year old son is teaching himself to play guitar by using tutorials on YouTube.
Can the @DCMS explain to him how he can carry on using these videos on his smartphone? He’s very annoyed.
Typical sledgehammer to crack a nut approach as usual!
This is like a punch to the gut. Me and my son love his music, watch his YouTube together all the time and he was counting the days until old enough to see him live.
The world can be a cruel place, 32 is no age.
RIP

I feel like people must be talking about a different Saka to the one I’ve been watching the past few years.
He genuinely hasn’t progressed much as a player at all since the 2021 Euros. If anything, I think due to injuries he is a worse player now than he was then.
This couldn’t be further from the truth, world class is top 3 in your position:
Harry Kane is a top 3 CF
Declan Rice is a top 3 CM
Jude Bellingham is a top 3 #10
Reece James is a top 3 RB
Bukayo Saka is a top 3 RW
At the very least, there’s 5 world class players with players like Marcus Rashford, Elliot Anderson and Nico O’Reilly all on the fringes.
