Only one Swiss player was drafted in the 2026 NHL draft. They are such a great hockey nation, but prefer to develop in Europe.

I just checked #WorldCup scores and Sweden must have vicious whiplash.

Please baby Jesus let Croatia win.

All the lying (post-truth) that is so commonplace now, makes even silly exaggerations intolerable. No, the Scots did not drink all the alcohol in Boston. In fact they probably did less than a percent dent to the alcohol realistically. A few bars running out of certain beers it turns into hyperbole

We need the Curaçao fans and the tartan army in the same city.

I am loving this Curaçao team and their fans. #WorldCup The videos I am seeing on Instagram and YouTube are fun.

The toddler shot.

Imagine getting to play World Cup game on home soil, and then get this shot lined up at your foot only to kick it worse than a toddler directly to the keeper. #CanMNT

#CanMNT God, we suck. That Liam Millar cross was some u12 garbage.

#CanMNT deserve to lose based on how stupid these short corners are. This is embarrassing.

#CanMNT is on the world stage, and has a beautiful scoring opportunity: *Shoots ball directly at the keeper. Good job guys. #2026WORLDCUP

The last time I saw so many Bosnians rolling around on the ground was 1994. #WorldCup

Oh, those silly Protestants up to no good again.

Norn Iron prods are demonic.

People that authentically love the sport of soccer are boycotting this #FIFA #WorldCup. Egregious corruption and heinous treatment of the athletes, coaches, fans, and officials is far too much to stomach. It is time to liquidate FIFA.

FIFA should be completely destroyed.

The #WorldCup is about to be underway, and even though I hate the USA and FIFA, and I strongly believe the World Cup should have been moved or cancelled, it is still about to start. I would love to see Canada, Belgium, Scotland, or Switzerland win it. I know two of those are unlikely.

I hate the English more than this. #WorldCup

#FIFA #WorldCup

Ah the World Cup, that time where every filthy, inbred Englishman becomes somehow even more arrogant. English fans don't cheer for England, they just jeer everyone else and try to start fights. Hopefully they piss off the wrong yanks. #WorldCup

#FIFA #WorldCup

Another reason why I hate the massive, corporate soccer leagues in Europe: Canadian and US players are discouraged by their clubs to represent their countries. Constantly faking low lying injuries, and then the next week playing a regular season match for their European clubs.

It feels weird cheering against Ireland. It feels very weird. #CanMNT

The internet: "the Dungeon Crawler Carl series is so funny! You should read it!" Ren: "Carl. You're a symbol. You're the embodiment of our hope." Ren: "Carl, make them suffer." Me:

Well, I found a pub that was running the game with sound anyhow. I will use my love of the #CanMNT to support a local watering hole. I am furious that Canada partially gets a World Cup in my lifetime and the absolute corruption is too much for me to stomach. I hate FIFA completely.

I have been a Voyageur since 2009. I haven't missed any #CanMNT matches in Edmonton in nearly two decades. But my conviction about this FIFA World Cup is pretty resolute. I won't attend Monday's pre tournament match, nor will I watch on television. It hurts, but it is the right thing to do.

I hated Claude Lemieux. Hated, disdained, and had zero respect for. Without a doubt he suffered from CTE. The old days of goon hockey that everyone romanticises is leaving behind a trail of bodies. I feel so sorry for his son that found him. I am so sad that he committed suicide.

I went through a phase where I was fairly anti-consumerism. I felt minimalism was crucial to avoid waste and materialism. There is still something to be said about over consuming, however nothing, and I mean nothing, beats physical media.

Victoire de Montréal! Get in you absolute beauts! Deserved champions. #PWHL

I like Scotland, I love Wales, I hate England, but man do I hate "Great Britain" being a team in the IIHF. Just let Scotland be its own national team that beats England like God intended. I don't think I hate any national hockey team as much as I hate Great Britain. Plus the Elite league sucks.

Les Habitants! Le bleu Le blanc Le Rouge! Habs! Canadiens! I am so happy.

PWHL has the most garbage logos in professional North American sports with the exception of Montréal and Vancouver. Seattle's logo looks like it should be a crappy chewing gum brand.

Dear sweet baby Jesus, please have the Suomi annihilate the yanks. #IIHF #IIHFWorldChampionship

I like Celtic, but I wanted a non Old Firm club to win the league. I wanted Hearts to win the league. The Scottish Premiership is poorer because of this.

Great Britain (I feel dirty using that term) is somehow in the IIHF World Championship top sixteen. It will be hilarious to watch them get annihilated over and over. The Elite League is absolute clown shoes.

The IIHF World Championship started this morning and already the games are delicious match-ups. Finland versus Germany Canada versus Sweden I love Swiss hockey and I am glad that they are the hosts. Plus they have some of the nicest hockey arenas.

Supporting this world cup is unethical. It isn't just "shaping up to be the worst," but it already is a celebration of excessive corruption.

You know how Christians who say they believe in grace, mercy, and compassion, but their actions and political preferences are the polar opposite of that? That is anyone who says they love the sport of soccer, but are excited for this World Cup. Hypocrites are disgusting.

Absolutely brutal referee decisions. Could cost the Raiders their season. #WHL

And it will remain so after his presidency. Americans have always been this way.

Watching the Habs and with two minutes left; I don't think I can clench my buttcheeks any harder. Hang on there boys. #Montréal

Since the Sherwood Park Crusaders are out of the BCHL playoffs, the Prince George Spruce Kings are the team I am rooting for.

When the US pulls its head out of Satan's poop chute, we will accept the city of Buffalo as an apology gift.

I was already sold on MLS moving out of at least one Canadian city, but threatening me with the hope that MLS will eventually collapse is just pure icing. Twist my rubber arm. I have petrol and matches. Let's get this party started.

God, Norway sucks at hockey.

US NHL coverage is cringeworthy. Glowing name plates above players, a countdown clock in the middle of the ice for penalty kills, blue streaks for shots. It is a circus of stupidity.

Look, I will mourn the death of Whitecaps for like ten minutes or so, but having one less team from a USSF based league is a win for Canadian soccer. Besides the Whitecaps won't be perma dead. Another reincarnation will arise at some point. Youth programmes will probably still carry the name.
