Shout out to the players for all the work they put in and for @pfacan.ca helping the players have a voice

What a game!!! Terrific work from #HFXWanderers: clutch tackles, smooth passing, and three goals - in the face of some terrific play from Pacific FC in turn! Also, Elcid Parrot was a hit and he mostly stayed in place like I hoped he would. No doubt he'll be back soon.

A magic moment that first touch… Stellar atmosphere & a tremendous on-the-pitch performance underlining the determination of the @nsl.ca to be a destination league & secure 🇨🇦‘s position as a global ⚽️ football power while nurturing the next generation on it’s pitches. Bravo to all involved!

So pleased & proud to have witnessed the first ever @nsl.ca goal along with the other moments of a match marking an important development in women’s professional soccer & sports in 🇨🇦.

Since Thatcher, UK politics have lurched ever more to the Right. So much so that a moderate socialist like Jeremy Corbyn was portrayed by @bbcnewsnight.bsky.social as a Putin asset, at the very time when Russian oligarchs wives were paying £100k+ to play tennis with Boris Johnson.
