Too many people have stopped judging faith by its teachings and started judging it by its extremists. That distinction may matter more than ever. #Faith #Perspective https://grumpa.ca/2026/07/06/the-quiet-courage-of-belief/

The US in-studio soccer guys sound like lunatics. So dramatic at all times. Really unintentionally hilarious. They act like it’s a world war and they never ever crack a joke; zero evidence of a sense of humor.

Crazy ass, great game. Still think Cape Verde game was the best game thus far, though.

Is that a Mexican player lying out of bounds offsides

Another nutso game. Felt England sitting back a little dangerously but seem to be getting away with it.

I don’t like Trump or his government, but I like most actual Americans. Wouldn’t live here if everybody was a prick. Massachusetts is great. So is basically every US city I’ve been to. We’re having a moment but I’m not going to shit on the place.

US player shouldn’t have received the red flag but it was upon review. Ergo no way it should be overturned. Terrible look for terrible organization. Does it change anything about my rooting for US, which I have barely done in any sport in the past? Absolutely not.

I fully agree with this but I can’t believe it happened and it’s going to make people mad

Alternatively, I sign and figure out trade options even if I have to retain some salary. That isn’t the way most NHL GMs think but it’s okay to consider options that aren’t emotional and give you some time.

If I’m Anaheim I let Carlsson walk. Can’t have that kind of cap structure. Let Philadelphia live in that fuck up. Don’t become vengeful. It sucks but sign the other guys, live with it, find another C. No hockey player worth that much cap; been proven again and again.

I will be pleasantly surprised if Canada loses by two goals or fewer to Morocco

It was a great 240 years. I’m not letting that fucking idiot ruin the recognition of that. And I’m not listening to your bullshit protestations it wasn’t a great country before him.

This shit makes the Habs culture and cap management even a bigger differentiator going forward. Lot of them could have demanded a shit ton more had they not signed.

I'm on Cape Verde Zillow. I want to live among these legends.

Man I can’t remember being this upset about a team I have no history with… what a tournament they had. Really special group. Ugh.

(Argentina, 46M; Buenos Aires metro area 11M)

Cape Verde population in 2021: 491K people.

Booooo

WHO SAID SOCCER IS BORING?! (I mean, other than me before this World Cup)

Cape Verde is my favorite soccer team of all time

I am not going to answer the question but I will say that Nick Paul looks like claymation

Crazy crazy goal. How was the game not over?

Team USA very impressive in this tournament. Sucks to lose the player for a game on a bs call but likable team.

Man that’s a rough call. I don’t like the red card stuff in general due to the magnitude of the impact… but this one is really problematic for US.

Lebrun said it best “Demidov is buying into the Cap Culture in Montreal”.

Minnesota will be paying Kirill Kaprizov $17,000,000 million this season.

Imagine waking up at 3 am to watch your team get beaten. I’m enjoying this World Cup because it’s within reach of my schedule.

That was a sensational night of soccer

How does that not go in holy crap

What a goal

While we wait for trades, a reminder that the #Habs are building a complete machine… habather.ca/2026/06/29/t...

I can simultaneously say that this is a really fun game and that I’m enjoying the World Cup a lot while at the same time believing that this is all way dull than any playoff hockey game

This is a great soccer game. I realize I used every uncool term but it’s a start for a guy who hasn’t watched many matches on the pitch and doesn’t own a kit. It’s nil-nil.

That was really quite something.

Woohoo

Here’s my take on Hage: he wasn’t guaranteed a roster spot in NHL and between Michigan and Laval he prefers Michigan. Gorton comments just reflecting he was just finished with elimination and feelings can change with time. He’s not a 2C in NHL and needs size and it’ll take some time. That’s all.

Europe's resistance to AC is driving it insane

Tired: ‘don’t draft Russians because they may not be able to leave their country’ Wired: ‘don’t draft Americans because they’ll demand a trade’ What an embarrassing group of Team USA guys. Glad Lane and Cole didn’t get exposed to those prima donnas.

Tonight used to be the Canadiens playoffs. I no longer watch the draft and I love it.

NHL GMs: ‘MOAR BIG’ Habs: ‘no’

Four of six teams in the World Cup today scored zero goals and the last two are tied 0-0 early. The beautiful game. For insomniacs.

Wilco concert tonight in Portland Maine with one of my sons. Happy Father’s Day!

I run into this issue constantly with AI. Often wrong. Never in doubt. The confidence with which it provides wrong answers gaslights you into thinking you’re wrong. It’s a big issue.

Angry man have nukes/the largest military on Earth, and is crazy enough to use them for little reason. The pivot away is quiet, but definitely happening.

Does it feel like world starting to push back on Trump bullshit / minor change in US or just my feeds? So hard to tell these days. Every country with democratic ideals should have an emergency meeting and figure out plan for post-US world order. We can beg forgiveness later but others must act now.

The fake injuries in soccer are really a problem

I’ve concluded two things from watching World Cup soccer: 1) It reminds me of a lot of the Habs circa 1995-2020 - hoping we could somehow eke out a win with very little action, and 2) I did not enjoy the Habs circa 1995-2020

I remember when I was in my late 30s and early 40s I looked around and I found a lot of women very attractive. I attributed it to me being older and just finding youth attractive. How to explain that I’m in my 50s and everybody in Boston is ugly? My new theory is low T.
