Mark Carney will become the first leader of a host nation to attend a World Cup match in 2026 when he attends the #CanMNT match against Qatar in Vancouver tomorrow. Trump has yet to go to a game in the U.S.

It's totally fucking dope that this place became the sports app. You need the experts, the beat writers, the nerds teaching you the game, the sycophants, the casual fans, the newbies, and the lookie loos to make it all work and Bluesky has gotten these segments in pretty much every sport now.

if they seriously signed an agreement written in farsi without knowing what’s actually in it i may never stop laughing

Collins: You said you think that Ukraine is going to ultimately win this war. Is that a view that [Trump] seemed to share as well? Carney: We, the Germans, the UK, the French, all are of the view that the tide has turned in this war. It is a matter of time. Putin is going to lose this war.

With regret, here’s the drawing x

One week in, the World Cup in Vancouver is a hit. But can we take the energy and further evidence that the city loves car-free public spaces, and turn that into a permanent legacy on Granville Street? Here's my short video exploring the idea.

Like our national broadcaster has spent the past 12 years funnelling money to Sportsnet on prime Saturday night (and day) TV to promote "some of their own programming". It's the worst "work for exposure" program of all time.

It's easy to be mad at CBC for this, but it's been a shit deal for years. "Under that setup, Sportsnet produced the games, retained editorial control and managed advertising... kept the tradition intact and allowed the broadcaster to promote SOME of its own programming" www.cbc.ca/sports/cbc-n...

Everytime I think about how badly #England screwed up the "golden generation" of Scholes, Beckham, Rooney, etc., I am always reassured to know Belgium's GG still exists.

[turning on a world cup match] oh wow, cape verde, i wonder where that is [55 minutes later] if cape verde wins it will be the greatest day of my life

Me: [Pretending like I even know what continent Cabo Verde is on.]

you know that Yamal is going to score in like five minutes here. #FIFAworldcup #spain

Türkiye and Brazil right now....

Cry harder, Carter Hart.

You gotta wonder how bad the ratings were for this game #stanleycip final. - games sandwiched between the knicks first NBA Championship in 53 years. - starts just as the World Cup begins. - final game on the same night as Trump’s train wreck of a UFC fight.

The Canada supporters group, the @thevoyageurs announce that the March to the Match on Thursday v Qatar won’t be on the Granville strip/Robson like a Whitecaps march. They’ll start near Science World and march the last mile to the main fan entrance for BC Place.

how long do I get to hold it against my three year old daughter for waking up from her nap at the '80 mark?

According to Le Devoir, since Justin Trudeau's departure, the Conservative Party has mentioned him 688 times in the House — with Pierre Poilievre thinking about him more than anyone.

Granville is this right now with every 50 meters a different scene - all organized by the shops. Like the barber shop that put in giant screens to watch the game, or the shawarma place / street disco. The city's doing a good job, but the best thing they're doing is getting out of people's way.

Australia win 2-0, RIP Granville Street.

Seeing that #Qatar and #Switzerland tied 1-1 and now I'm not as confident about Wednesday. #CanMNT

Put this in the National Gallery, eh!!!! #CanMNT

#CanMNT getting a point was the most probable outcome, so I can’t be mad. Getting an open play goal from Latin feels like a massive win. Getting this game out of the way and heading to Vancouver also feels like a win. But still feel like a 2-1 win was within their grasp.

CYLE FRACKING LARIN!!!!!

Is it Ahmed time? #CanMNT

Geared that Canada would be nervy at the start of this game and worst fears have come to roost. Still time to turn it around, but yikes. #CanMNT

Huge boos in Toronto as US flag announced!

CANADA'S STARTING XI FOR THEIR #FIFAWORLDCUP OPENER. 🇨🇦

#allezlesrouges #redout #tousenrouges #canmnt

66' - GOAL - In-Boem gets the tie goal! The former @whitecapsfc.com man shows immense patience to hold the ball up in the box and flick it up and over the keeper. #WorldCup

LITTLE INBEOM! #vwfc #southkorea #fifaworldcup #whitecaps

That’s an In-beom sighting! #vwfc #savethecals #southkorea

Good to see Canada joining the working group to help keep the Whitecaps here.

The thing I love about this ‘skeet’, is that you instantly know what he’s talking about.

The ticking time-bomb that is the world's diminishing oil and gas reserves keeps going while this idiot keeps dropping the ball.

I've been a broken record on this for three years and I'll be a broken record for as long as that fucking website exists: X is a viciously racist far-right organising platform that ONLY WORKS because a huge number of centrists, lefties and progressivs cannot stop propping it up

The government needs to leave X. EVERYONE needs to leave X.

I refuse to believe that Phil Dunster and Sam Witer are not the same person. Therefore, in my world, Jamie Tart voices Darth Maul.

Promise David on what it's like to play against Luc De Fougerolles: "I'm always careful about my well-being, because I don't think Luc gives a fuck about anybody's Achilles or bones or anything, and I think you know that term, 'Brexit', he's a cold cut Brexit player." #CanMNT
