@joshforjosh17@JeremyAppel1025 Money is always the issue since there are any number of issues that require our attention (roads, police, hospitals, parks etc etc)
Is our money being allocated correctly? Maybe not, and corruption is always a problem, but our society does not value schooling nearly enough.
@BenWoodfinden But, many conservatives attack intellectuals all the time.
Many conservatives also *enjoy* attacking intellectuals, & label anything intellectual as “elite”, & worthy of disdain.
What is the conservative intellectual foundation?
More gov = bad is not a coherent argument
Are we sure that when they come back from halftime the score won’t have been suddenly reversed?!
What’s polymarket saying on the odds there will be a change on the scoreboard?
Can’t be 0
#FIFAworldcup#polymarket
@CowboyCoffey Or how conservatives talk *endlessly* about how they can’t afford anything, & then turn around and donate in record amounts to the Conservative Party?!
Their money ends up funding advertising with spelling errors or full caps, or funding CPC MP’s kids private education.
@jaredbook I agree that attacking Davies is silly, of course.
Did he reaggrevate his injury, becuase he wasn’t costing the team vs South Africa.
The optics are bad.
We know how Bayern feels about their asset, but other nations wouldn’t have been pushed around by clubs.
Sucks for CAN
@JasonGregor It sucks because if he picked up an injury before the match, we didn't hear about it (Unfortunately, for obvious reasons).
It reeks of Bayern's interfering with their "asset" and feeling like they can bully "lowly" Canada. That's the narrative that won't go away.
@JasonGregor That's...not the same at all!
If the Penguins had a history with Hockey Canada & were heavily involved in his injury history, & Crosby played the semi-final, but suddenly couldn't play the final & we didn't see or hear about an injury, *then* we can compare the two!
@RobertoRojas97 Nah.
“You try to win at *all* costs” is a choice.
We are allowed to criticize the way football is being played, by all players and all countries, including our own.
@ScottBilleck Just means that this will be an issue 4 years from now, and *every* tournament in between.
Club > Country.
Why get excited?
Oh well,
Had me for a moment there 🤷🏻♂️
@vivekmjacob This is great, but too much success may result in more players opting out.
Delicate balance of developing talent who *also* commit 100% to the country *over* club.
We’ll see.
@cbctom With soccer, and basketball before it, we will continue to struggle with players being *available*.
It’s maddening, but that’s the deal with a sport catching up to capitalism.
*sigh*
It was fun, but I’m no fool.
@MattYoungCTV Yeah but who knows who’ll be *actually* available 4 years from now? It sucks but that’s the reality we face.
Some players will choose their club career over country, & for reasons that are understandable.
We fans of *Canadian* soccer will always take a back seat.
#capitalism
@trito_king@staysaasy#NeverCheer
It’s exhausting being a sports fan these days, isn’t it?
Even some of the players themselves immediately look to referees to see if it’s being called back.
Offsides reviews in hockey after a goal was scored 30 seconds after, Or goalie interference etc.
@David_Moscrop 1. Nah, It’s far more of an interesting story for England to beat Mexico at Azteca with all the playing at altitude advantage the Mexicans will have.
2. No, you *almost never* cheer for the team that takes you out!
3. 🤷♂️
