Was at one of the many #yeg watch parties for #CanMNT. I. Am. Emotionally. Spent.
Here is my story on today's game. And, yes, I was lame enough to quote Nick Hornby.

Seeing @TSNScianitti on the sidelines in Toronto brings me back to when we were both much younger, covering a very new Toronto FC team. So happy to see him do so well in his career. Enjoy every second.

watching soccer is not fun. It is 90 minutes of hell that test your patients and your will to live.

I am at the ICE District tent for the #SomosMéxico canMNT match… bars downtown are full. I love how the World Cup just imposes vacation days on us.

Almost 1000 tickets still for sale on the official FIFA website for Canada’s 1st-ever World Cup match on home soil. I know because FIFA’s website says so. They aren’t budging on price - you’re not budging on giving in.

Not a wide swath of empty seats for the second match of the World Cup, but a noticeable amount of empty seats, nonetheless.

I am set to arrive in Hungary in late July. I do not currently smoke. How long will it take me to be up to a pack a day?

I would volunteer for many, many things. One thing I'd NEVER volunteer to do is to help a FIFA World Cup. That event generates billions. No way should anyone be working for free.

If a Canadian pub doesn't have a deal with FIFA or with one of the official sponsors, it can show games, but can't do much else (no admission fees, no special promotions). #CanMNT #FIFA edmontonjournal.com/news/loc…

Thanks to @TSNScianitti's kind words, I've picked up a bunch of new followers... so, here's a shameless plug for my 2025 book on racism in hockey, from the grassroots to the NHL

From @stevensandor — Canada’s expected World Cup starters survived a poor first half against Uzbekistan. But the expected reserves, who came into Monday’s friendly at halftime, stole the show. #CANMNT #FIFAWorldCup #yeg
