In several surveys, the overwhelming first choice for what makes Canada unique is multiculturalism. This, in a world collapsing into stupid, impoverishing hatreds, is the distinctly Canadian national project.

Being lazy is bad; unless you still get what you want, then it's called "patience".
Hubris must be punished. Severely.

Getting ready to make IEDs against American Occupation Forces.

"But I didn't vote for him"; they cried.

Would have preferred a different result, but better then a loss.

I think second half canada was a chance against the Swiss, and definitely Qatar. However watching their air game leaves me as anxious as I was in 2004 with portugal :lol:

BBC host ended their broadcast with saying Bosnian fans were "in full throat until they got hit by a bit of Larin-gitis" :bleeding:

Fun game though.
Let's bomb Russia!

America is better in their front 1/3 than I expected. Or Paraguay is worse.

Like 94, a USA hosted World Cup forces FIFA to evolve quickly.

Is US a lot better than we thought, or is Paraguay a lot worse?
It is far better for the truth to tear my flesh to pieces, then for my soul to wander through darkness in eternal damnation.

Jet: So what kind of woman is she? What's Julia like?
Faye: Ordinary. The kind of beautiful, dangerous ordinary that you just can't leave alone.
Jet: I see.
Faye: Like an angel from the underworld. Or a devil from Paradise.

I find The Soccer Guy sometimes hilarious. Here is his take from the USMNT win.

QuoteAs expected, USA kick the Para Guys' sorry Mexican asses real good as soccer finally comes home, dropping bombs of soccer awesomeness like the president just launched a headline-grabbing operation overseas to make everyone quit talking about the questionable things he's been up to.
USMNT instantly begun to go dominize, with Christian Pulisic and Poncho Tino's offence guys asking a bunch of questions of the deefense. And the answers, my friends, was blowin' in the wind for Bobadylan, who inserted the negative equity goalshot into the SGI.
The Para Guys sucked real bad, and were kinda lucky when the denial flag denied Folarin Balogun another goalshot. Too bad for the Mexicans, Balogun did double the lead real soon after. And in overtime at the end of the first quarter, he doubled it again to make it 3 to 0 when he found the upper 90, ending the contest before the halftime show.
With the W confirmized, Poncho Tino called Balogun to the subshack in the second quarter. Even though the Para Guys made the constipation insertion, Gio Reyna made it 4 to 1 after the overtime verdict tablet erection.
SOCCER. IS. HOME.

He's moved from X to Facebook, by the way.

England's kit has been stolen https://www.theguardian.com/football/2026/jun/13/england-world-cup-boots-stolen-before-first-training-session-in-kansas-city

How bad is this? Will they end up limping around the pitch in badly-fitting boots bought from Walmart or is it not a big deal?

Norgy

I reckon they have plenty of backup kit ready to be delivered.

Although the training sesh might be bad. FIFA have of course implemented strict rules as to what brands can be used and when and where national team sponsors can be visible (as in mostly not at all).

On a different note, Alexi Lalas has become a small hero of mine after calling James Corden "a full kit wanker" on US television.  :lol:
