The Euro is like watching a really talented and fun hip hop dance competition. Fast paced and high skilled. The Copa is like watching a knife fight outside the club at 3am. Not as artful, but they do know how to handle the knife. Not like you’re turning away, either.

Minor news: I have confirmed w/ two different sources that talks have taken place between officials at CSA and CONMEBOL for Canada to take part in the 2024 Copa America. They were unsure if it was as a guest team or as part of an expanded 16 team joint tournament with CONCACAF.

Make no mistake. MLS pulling out of USOC is directly related to the Apple deal. That’s inventory that Apple doesn’t control therefore they see no value in it. This is what happens when you give up sporting decisions to the tv rights holder. Started with the kick-off times…

Let’s be clear: they didn’t win in Tokyo because the coaching staff knew what formation a team was going to play. They won because the players performed. So why in hell did the coaching staff tarnish everything? It’s unforgivable. This isn’t gaining an edge. It’s recklessness.

We are watching how much those stupid FIFA rankings matter, even if they are deeply flawed. A US team that legit finished below Canada in WCQ gets Iran and Wales because they were in pot B. Canada is pot D—Belgium and Croatia… A World Cup is four years long, not 4 weeks…

If you buy a ticket for a sporting contest you are guaranteed nothing but a seat at that game or event. So fans upset that Messi isn’t playing in Vancouver don’t really have a leg to stand on. However, the Whitecaps should not have billed the event as special. That’s offside.

The Fox broadcast starting to sound like a Canadian hockey broadcast during an international tournament. We get it. The referee isn’t to your liking. Suck it up and adjust.

The @warriors broadcast was just completely dismissive of the @Raptors win tonight calling it a “scheduled loss” by Houston and stressing that Rockets jad played 3 games in 4 nights. That the Raptors also had played 3 in 4 was not mentioned. #WeTheDismissed
