Ooh! Aah! Uzbekistan, yeah?

Ooh, that was a pretty goal by Colombia…

There’s the dagger, that’s the match.

Ooh, gut punch with the last kick of the half!

Harry Kane doing Harry Kane things…

Ooh, that was a bullet! Both into English hearts and their net.

Oof, almost had to listen to Alexi Lalas… didn’t realise I was watching by the Fox feed and not the CTV one. Managed to switch before he started saying something else stupid…

I wanted to like this show… gave up half way through the first season as he spends a good chunk of his time complaining.

Not surprising, given 90% of what’s posted there is engagement-farming rage bait from bits and fake accounts.

Hockey fans are Big Mad about not getting games for free on CBC, finding out what it’s like to be a fan of literally any other sport in this country.

4 games, 4 draws… not going to attract a lot of the non-fans this way!

With a surname like ‘Just’, I’d be amazed if that Kiwi player doesn’t have a Nike contract…

Lukaku is only 33? Damn, thought he was 40 by now…

Ahh, and Vegas lost the hockey. Good - no annual snowfall, no hockey glory. Also, stop stealing teams from other cities, douche canoes! #SaveTheCaps

First blood to IKEA!

Didn’t take long for the first pummelling of the tournament… but I don’t think anyone is surprised. Running up the score may seem unsportsmanlike, but when goal differential is a tiebreaker, it’s going to happen…

Australia win 2-0, RIP Granville Street.

Looking forward to being at the two Canada games at B.C. Place… (Still have a lower bowl seat available for the Qatar match if anyone is interested)

Daaaaaamn, lovely goal by the Soccerroos!

All of Australia is at B.C. Place right now… I guess that means they left the Irish to run things in Whistler?

Gonna take a lot to wipe that smile off of Stevie Caldwell’s face…

Fack, that should have been far more than a 1-0 result…

How far we’ve come when Coke’s ad for the World Cup is centred around Peter Drury announcing a VAR goal dis-allowal as the point of celebration…

Beauty of a dink from the Moroccan striker!

Damn, bullet of a header for Qatar! Neither of these teams are looking amazing, gives me hope for the next two games at B.C. Place…

Before kickoff I would have loved a win, been happy with a draw, and resigned to a loss. I’m moderately satisfied. Looking forward to being at the match against Qatar next week!

CYLE FUCKING LARIN! Aaaaand I just doused my phone in beer celebrating that goal…

Jeebus, as a Whitecaps fan I miss having Ahmed on the wing…

This is getting painful…

100% should be 1-0 for Canada.

FORMER WHITECAP SCORES IN A WORLD CUP MATCH!

It seems that I’ve come full circle. My early club team support came from only watching international tournaments, and finding teams with players I recognized/liked. Now I find myself supporting international teams in World Cup matches based on where their players earn their paycheque.

Korea is really all over Czechia in this one…

Oof… South Africa isn’t coming back from this… Also, ‘Sithole’ is an unfortunate surname.

Winning the World Cup ticket lottery is all fun and games until you have to try and unload a single ticket for a match or two… Anyone looking for a single lower bowl ticket for either of the Canada matches at BC Place for face value? The FIFA resale site typically comes with a significant markup…

This season of Clarkson’s Farm is a lot more… graphic… than the previous ones.

There’s vegan, and then there’s ’tofu knuckle tattoo’ vegan…

The announcer for this Germany-US match is terrible…

(No relation)

Finally watched Sinners, and was… disappointed? Went from ‘devil at the crossroads’ to ‘mass market Blade flick’ and back to ‘crossroads-ish end’. Feels like a great idea that decided to make money instead…

Aaaaand the Painter/Drywaller/Cocaine/Bukkake kit makes its debut… #CMNT

Oof. Alibi Room has fallen off of a cliff… what was once a local beer destination how has a limited tap list, reduced menu, and a trendy-ish lounge vibe that doesn’t work with the neighbourhood.

An Italian-themed Scotch whisky event at an Irish pub in Canada… how international!

Aww, I’m going to have so many sad Quebcois coworkers… That said, go Carolina? For all intents and purposes, fuck Vegas. That city shouldn’t reasonably exist for environmental reasons, never mind their penchant for acquiring under performing sports teams…

Looks like the Hurricanes are blowing the Habs away…

How in the corrupt bullshit is that a goal?

Other than being raging NIMBYs, it’s quite clear that the people in my local Facebook community groups have no clue how taxation works…
