I do not disagree, although AT&T is right at the cutoff, 80,000.

All the jokey shit aside, it’ll be interesting to dig into the meat of this. Like South Korea/Japan, which took two spots away from Asia, this would take three from CONCACAF. But by 2026 there’s a good chance we’ll be at that ridiculous 48 team World Cup, which means after the three are gone there would still be 3.5…

I’ll buy that.

I’m not sure when Barber started training, but his dad was a vaulter for Canada in the 1983 world championships, so there’s a good chance he got an early start as well.

Think you can slither in with the best pun of the day, do you?

Yeah, it looks like maybe a cover for controlling the sprinklers or something. I imagine the clubs with more money know how to hide those things away.

I had to triple-check to find it myself, so I feel you. So to speak.

It helps that United couldn’t do more than barely squeeze out a point against Everton today, which leaves them with a game in hand but more than 3 points to gain.

I don’t recall concern trolls using crying with laughter emojis. I think she was just having fun.

Where I grew up used to have lots of traffic circles (as they were called locally). The rules depended on what you were doing. If the circle you are coming to is two lane, as most were:

Yeah, I was going to comment on the CSL. I remember hearing about strange dudes perpetually on cell phones at matches in Toronto, sometimes being chased away from games.

Clearly they’re a threat to take away Ben Carson’s job.

Thanks for the correction. I always hesitate to repeat these meme-style things that show up on my feed. But this is the internet, and I cannot help it.

I saw today that NZ beat Fiji only 2-0. In a stadium that holds 35,000 people there were 50. And one WENGER OUT banner.

Not me. I imagined them coming out from behind those hills and joining us in our otherwise mundane existence.

Much of the rest of the country calls them Canuckleheads.

Let me rephrase: They bring money to spend, interest in other teams. This is what the English teams have learned, that girls playing now = women spending money later. The NFL sorta gets it, but more in a “buy a pink jersey” fashion. As opposed to these young women, who are terrific to watch. http://www.saskatoonvalkyri…

If it’s run in the US like minor sports are in Canada (and here I am mostly familiar with soccer, and to a lesser extent baseball), then every time an amateur player signs up to play for a league, a portion of their fee goes to the league, a smaller cut to the regional organization (state, province, what have you),…
