Balloon on the pitch! C’mon...

My girlfriend is the coolest.

Aid worker who organised World Cup screenings in Gaza killed in Israeli strike

Run your mouths now.

quick, somebody photoshop Paul Bearer holding the Gold Cup.

OneSoccer literally does not miss an opportunity to put a player accused of or charged with violent sexual crimes in their graphics. Just Google Achraf Hakimi to see what I mean.

Time to score that Japan jersey on sale, everyone.

I really wish OneSoccer would do ANYTHING to cast any sort of critical eye toward players accused or charged with rape. In this case, Sano publically apologized for it!! Instead, they consistently highlight the likes of Ronaldo and Sano because it’s easier. Hold them accountable! Set an example!

Google Kaishu Sano to find out what else he’s done

Listen, everything else is gravy from here on out, but I hope the boys give whoever they play absolute hell.

Some BIG calls here. I expect Tani to be set out to press that back line. David in that 10ish role to follow that up & the wingers to go direct. Hope Bombito can put a good performance in from a fitness standpoint & build from here.

I don't want to hear another word about how much white European visitors are enjoying ranch dressing while team officials, Africa's top referee, and now one of the world's most celebrated fans are turned away from the World Cup. The USA is an utterly unfit host — it's as simple as that

I just noticed that the fourth official has a Degree ad on their shirt under their armpit…I hate it here.

Are they on his payroll or something

Colombia - I love you.

Is the ink even dry on his 4-year extension? www.bbc.co.uk/sport/footba...

Canadian media is trying to make a big deal out of this Alphonso Davies stuff to engagement farm because they have no idea how to cover the sport to begin with AND don’t know how to engage with an audience that overall isn‘t familiar with the sport. Absolute hacks.

I have a lot of downtime this summer: is anyone looking for someone to do any writing/analysis/research about Canadian football? I have plenty of experience having been a coach, scout, and analyst, and covering the game for a couple of outlets. Please give me a shout if you’re looking!

“Shameful”! I’m sorry that you’re not the manager’s special little guy and you're not getting your cookie. Good grief. A manager isn’t supposed to be our friend, he’s supposed to win football matches. He didn’t do that yesterday, but we got through. Focus on that, not this piddly stuff.

Icky, ucky, stinky, stupid Switzerland #allezlesrouges #canmnt

fuck that ref, man

ACAB also includes Poch.

I’ve seen a lot of non-Canadian takes on Jesse Marsch post 6-0. What each failed to understand is that Marsch is also tasked with selling the game to a country that has largely been resistant to football. Outside of a few pockets, there is no real footy culture here -> he also has to GROW the game.

Bielsa is going to need to buy more hand grenades after these last two matches.

@canadasocceren.bsky.social sell me a track jacket already

I hate this prick so much. Once again, an American Commissioner is putting his thumb on the scale to relocate a Canadian team.

If I’m head of recruitment at a CPL team, I’m running the numbers on him.

I genuinely got a little emotional yesterday once Canada started to put the match out of sight. There was a time when I never thought we’d see the CanMNT in a World Cup, let alone a home one. Here we are in a second one on the bounce and we won 6-0? Unbelievable.

This was on “clearance” for $41 last week.

I hope Carlos Queiroz and Thomas Partey have a bad day.

The closed captioning on my feed just captioned “João Neves” as ”Johnny Vegas”. He should lean into this.

If you've never read this, or haven't revisited it in a while, today's a good day to remember it

there’s still time for him to follow in his father’s and uncle’s footsteps.

Listen, I’m certainly not one to question Jesse Marsch by any means. But, I do have SOME questions.

Really interesting analysis of Canada - Bosnia. Definitely worth a watch ahead of Thursday if you’re a Canadian fan. youtu.be/RXmCPEMwl2E?...

I should have put money on this

Scottish and Haitian fans after the game last night, lovely stuff.

Listen, I’m certainly not one to question Jesse Marsch by any means. But, I do have SOME questions.

Luc de Fougerolles yesterday (via @futi.live). Impressive display from a 20-year-old starting a match in a home World Cup against one of the more physically imposing teams in the tournament. I was really impressed w/ how pragmatic he was in his approach. He found what worked in tough situations.

What on earth is this

“We wanted to give a pathway to Canadian players, especially in B.C., to make it to the national team and maybe one day play in a World Cup,” Chris Corrigan told The Tyee. “We had no idea it would be this fast.” ⚽️ @martinbauman.com reports. thetyee.ca/News/2026/06...

Tani over Larin doesn’t seem as big a call to me as it seems to be w/ others. Can he hit the goal? No. But it’s not like Larin really has for Canada lately. Tani is more mobile & I think that will be a huge factor coming out of the gates today - I wouldn’t be surprised if the high press is on early.

Did I also buy some Canada Nike gear? Of course I did. But it took me a while to find something that felt relatively fair for the price in this climate.

A big part of my youth were things like Nike’s Total90 line, Joga Bonito campaign, & just their general ubiquity at the top level of modern football. They felt like THE brand. It’s really quite something to see them consistently deliver underwhelming, or just straight up trash these days.

The nerve of this guy.

It’s proving surprisingly difficult to pick up Canada gear. The selection for non-jersey options seems extremely limited for both options and sizes. Really underwhelming so far…it also seems like Canada isn’t getting the same Canada gear that other countries are?
