We were at a Bolton game (and stayed in the Devere White, the hotel attached to the ground) in 2013. My son’s academy also got a training session with the then-head of international youth development, and at the time it seemed not too bad for a middling Championship setup. Back two years later with my younger son’s…

And this from a CONCACAF president who is Canadian.

Also, why the fuck am I in the greys again?

Because of family bullshit, this is the one religion that when they come to the door they get some serious shit from me before I remind them to pass on the word to not darken my door again. Too bad he doesn’t live here so I could see how I would do with him instead of a pair of housewives in vaguely shapeless dresses…

“Recap!”

I frequently cheer when we get shade thrown on us because Canadians are constantly on their high horses about being superior to Americans, while ignoring all the shit that goes on in this country,

It was only a fucking hour because his typing style has to be 2 finger hunt and peck.

The show is utter perfection and completely baffles my wife. My fits of laughter may also put her off, of course.

Yeah yeah!

First and most obvious, we now have a domestic league. Early doors, yet, and lots needs to be done, but it’s there and looks to grow (although I hope to hell not so fast it falls apart).

We had a good run for a number of years. Not ever the real heights, of course, but there was a spell when we were indeed better than the US, way back in the day. And I think it was 1996 when we jumped 22 points in FIFA rankings, which was way too generous, but that was nonetheless a good year. We made life difficult…

The info. 2016 was a very different time.

To expect Canada will be as good as Mexico this early in the process (or ever: I am realistic) is ridiculous. Hell, I’ll even grant Canada isn’t as good as the team in this tournament that had the boots put to it by Venezuela and lost to Jamaica and Trinidad & Tobago. But the starting XI and formation made it clear…

Boy howdy is that ever out of date.

Having just come in from mowing the lawn: good thing you’re not my neighbour.

Every single one of them overreacting.

Considering Kaelyn Kyle has now received death threats, this certainly stands out. Because of course she has.

‘...but I also think part of it was a “fuck you” to U.S. Soccer. Like, “You saw your boys last week; now look at this. Fuck you, pay us.”’

I wish I could find video of this, but an old NY Times article will have to do. “That loss in the 1995 World Cup was a bitter defeat for the Americans, some of whom felt affronted by the Norwegians’ post-game celebration.”

Or recall Rangers fans cheering on the new Flyers goalie after Pelle Lindbergh died...
