We really sold our souls for that Raptors championship. Jays are unwatchable, Leafs have reached their ceiling, and TFC have been the worst team in the league for most of the time since 2019 (slowly changing now).
What a miserable time in Toronto sports.
Canada and France are developing quite a bit of a rivalry in these Olympics.

fans that 4 years ago, Morocco finished dead last in their group with 1 point. Like Canada, they were in an incredibly difficult group and probably deserved more. 4 years later, much of that core just led the team to a group win. This experience matters!
Costa Rica doing a firework show during our anthem has to be the most disrespectful thing Iโve ever seen in my life. Classless and embarrassing.

Itโs crazy to me how Montreal isnโt a World Cup host city in 2026. Easily one of the coolest cities in North America, and Olympic Stadium was long overdue for an update. Would have been a great excuse to get it done

Also another thing. He carries his championship ring around with him quite a bit. If you ever run into him, ask if you can hold it. Heโll insist you try it on and tell you, โthis isnโt MY ring, this is OUR ring. My job is to just share it with as many fans as possibleโ
Herdman says โif we want to become a serious football nation, we need the fundingโ. Heโs 100% right
You know what else serious football nations do? They question managers who call 2nd division players from Belgium over players who play 90โs every week in a better league.
#CanMNT
Rumours that the 2024 Copa America will be held in the United States, and that Canada, Mexico, and a few other CONCACAF nations will be invited.
Fingers crossed that this comes to fruition, because it would be huge for the entire region

I actually feel for Ricardo Pepi at this point. He must feel the weight of the world on his shoulders. Itโs not his fault that he was sold for $20mil. He was overhyped from the jump as MLS and the USMNT were desperately searching for their next young American prodigy

This is, without exaggeration, one of the best moments of my life.
I remember struggling to find a single person to talk about our national team with. Seeing this rise, witnessing most of it first-hand, I canโt even put it into words. Itโs the ultimate satisfaction.
#CanMNT
I realized a lot of the confusion in interactions with
#USMNT
fans is because of the language barrier.
Iโve taken the liberty of translating USMNT to english so we can more easily communicate going forward. If Iโve missed key terms, help fill me in!
So I listened the to Berhalter press conference, and I can confirm, that dude is clueless ๐. Found myself scratching my head throughout.
Probably a decent dude, but a very poor manager. I understand the frustration and hopeless feeling from USMNT fans
Iโm really worried about this Apple TV deal for MLS. They will reap the immediate financial benefits of the deal, but I canโt help but think $20 CAD/month will destroy viewership in most markets.
A league that was JUST starting to gain real traction. Iโm skeptical.
Let me get this straight. Chelsea sub out their world class keeper for a โpenalty specialistโ who lets all 11 players score against him, and then skies his own penalty.
Honestly, that takes a pretty special talent

Unfortunately, yesterday, life happened. Was dealt a pretty sobering bit of perspective. Suddenly, the biggest game in Canadaโs history feels pretty inconsequential. If Iโm not very active on here today, that would be why.
Just remember, win or lose, this is just football.
This SHOULD be our current player pool. Everything is building towards 2026. Players will emerge between now and then but this is the core group of players we should be learning about and testing now

If CONCACAF is going to show better in this tournament, we need to address some of the things holding us back. Our confederation is pretty bush-league sometimes. We need:
- Quality pitches
- VAR in all competitions
- a higher officiating standard

In all seriousness, this stuff is completely unacceptable and needs to be disciplined way more severely.
Donโt chalk this up as something that happens in a rivalry. It shouldnโt. It canโt. We co-host a World Cup in 2 years. This is a joke.
I went to my first US/Mexico soccer game. US won Dos a Cero.
Game ends, Mexico fans start throwing beer. Someone threw a battery?beer can? who can tell for sure. Bleeding profusely, run to the first aid station. Five staples later, I have an awesome war story.

Watching other teams defend like this is genuinely like watching a different sport. Canโt wrap my brain around how differently our series is being officiated
So apparently:
- the Raptors donโt have a true alpha dog
- the Raptors donโt have more talent than the Celtics, Sixers, Heat, etc.
- the Raptors donโt have the best coaching staff in the NBA
Just trying to figure out how theyโre 47-18, cuz that math donโt add up
