I've authored seven publications on various pop culture subjects (television, film & music). All are available on Amazon in Print, Ebook and Kindle formats.

@SheikMaha1998 @Sportsnet These are standings not rankings. They are ahead of Egypt because they had more points than Egypt overall

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@ESPNFC I hadn’t realized Spain had played all 47 other teams in the tournament! 😉 (I think you left out “they played” or “they faced” from the graphic).

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@Geeky_ng @FIFAWorldCup @McDonalds The Dutch didn’t even get to the round of 16

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@CANMNT_Official Promise David’s goal

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@thejacksvn He needs the re election votes from smaller nations who didn’t make the World Cup because the larger ones, especially UEFA, have lost faith in him even more after the Balogun red card debacle, that’s why he wants to “examine” this possibility

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@RichBucciarelli Not just old news, but out of date and no longer accurate, and was never an issue in the first place

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@stuholden The worst performance of any Concacaf team in the whole tourney was by the US in the game that mattered most. Even Curaçao losing 7-1 to Germany wasn’t as bad given the context. No way can they be ranked 2nd

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@fiago7 Obviously Canada. Mexico and the US got to the same level they usually do, but this time with home advantage for all matches and adversity on their side. Canada got to an unprecedented level for them & bowed out at the same stage overcoming adversity to do. They will be happiest

[IceFieldFC @IceFieldFC]

How is that a penalty for Mexico 🇲🇽 but this wasn’t when we faced them in the Nations League??? #CanMNT

Not even checked by VAR too btw

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@CCanmnt86101 $$$ is the usual answer, sadly

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@TSN_Sports @CANMNT_Official @CanadaSoccerEN Well said Phonzie. The assholes criticizing you have the intellect of a demented hedgehog, just ignore them.

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@iMiaSanMia Why are you giving any oxygen to a bunch of bots and Twitter trolls?

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@capnsnow @CBSSportsGolazo @ChrisWittyngham It’s so obvious that Marco hates Canada, he was predicting that Qatar was going to give them a hard time, now he is saying that everything worked out as he predicted.

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@Mike_Leach1976 He could have mitigated the horrifically bad optics of cheering on our #1 sports and soccer rivals (a country he told Cdns to boycott) as they scored had he worn a Canada jersey, t-shirt or some kind of prominent Cdn symbol. Can he not afford a Canada shirt?

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@WallyWhitsett @Poppy_Teryy What’s more, Jessica has dyed her hair blonde for various roles, including her breakout performance in The Help

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@FCBayernEN Davies went straight to the locker room?

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@CanadaSoccerEN @Berto_AJC It is throwing shade. This will just entrench any feelings already held. I have been regularly attending Canada matches since World Cup Qualifying for 1986 along with my Italian-Canadian family, we don’t need “reminding” via an insult. Do better next time.

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@BenSteiner00 It’s a highly insulting initiative. I say that as someone who has been attending Canada matches since 1985

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@AroundTurin @SkySport A little context please. That's not true overall, the screenshot says "The last three games".

[Gian-Luca Di Rocco @ProgRocco]

@BianconeriZone @SkySport Over what period of play? There is no context to these numbers
