The Final of '94. I was staying at my cousins at the time and they were big soccer fans, a rare thing back then.
I don't remember details of the game tho.

It's actually my 2nd sports memory, the first one being the Habs Stanley Cup victory a year earlier.

My hatred for Italian football did start then.

The whole WC sucked in 90, not just Italy.
Cameroon is a good memory, beyond that, not much to remember.

Plus, the best African referee, a Somali, being denied entry, after national team staff members from Iran (not that surprising) and Iraq (bit more).
Havn't heard from Gianni about those cases.

From the Globe

Mr. Poilievre said Canada must be prepared to have honest conversations about what led to separatist sentiment in Alberta, citing federal policies that stymied provincial authority and autonomy, along with a "destructive ideology" that saw Canada's common history and identity downgraded and denigrated.

Right on, about time the right had an honest discussion about the destructive MAGA ideology that has infected the Canadian right.

Although, that might not be what PP is talking about.

That is almost certainly due to the number of "mark as spam" reports that ACTS has received from the people who signed up for it over time and didn't just unsubscribe from their emails. It's 100% safe and tons of people use it on a daily basis.

I'll research options though.

NGL having recently thought that we should nationalise Denby to prevent it from going into administration to today thinking we should nationalise Tate & Lyle to stop it from being taken over by Ingredion (who, I assume, were originally founded as a team on The Apprentice) I realise I'm slowly spinning into late 70s Tony Benn territory

(Although I legit think that Denby which has been making household goods on the same site since before Waterloo, pays its taxes, takes on and trains apprentices every year should be saved - and its products are good quality and will last a long time.)

The first one I remember is 1990, more specifically the Argentina-Italy penalty shootout.  I loved the penalty shootouts back then, because that seemed to be the only way goals were scored back then.

Especially when Italy was playing.
