@charlieangus104.bsky.social is right of course. What I don't understand is how he seems to be incensed about this but had nothing to say when someone tried to commit a massacre in an Ontario synagogue Sept. 20. And of course, when confronted on this, he blocks me. Gutless.

Hey @charlieangus104.bsky.social This is what real leadership looks like. Meanwhile, still not a single word from you on what happened in Belleville last week. Can't believe I used to look up to you. No more.

A bicycle kick goal in a full blown blizzard. Forge FC vs Cavalry FC in the 2023 Canadian Premier League final was the most Canadian moment soccer has ever produced.

I keep seeing posts about big tech trying to get access to vital water sources to cool data centres. If the very pro data centre current administration are intent on allowing these things to be built, why not allow the use of the giant tap they keep talking about to cool them and leave rivers alone.

This is the way a game should end. Two teams showing their love and respect for each other. I’m not crying, you’re crying.

Just saw a post on FB from Cam Cavitt (R Michigan) where he's coming down hard on Ontario Premiere Doug Ford over money he shifted that was originally set aside for fighting wildfires to things like a private plane for ford. Michigan Republicans are now siding with the Liberal Party and the NDP.

For fuck sake. If Tuchel had subbed in Toney and Rashford 15 fucking minutes ago maybe things would have been different. Why the fuck do England wait until they’re behind to suddenly take the fucking ball forward.

Am I the only one who thinks Argentina's win is tainted. Yeah, they made a great comeback but that second ball in the net from Egypt did not need VAR intervention. That goal should have stood and the game should have gone into extra time. The level of corruption in the WC this year is disgusting.

Belgian player goes down. Gets booed by American fans. He spends the rest of the game using crutches. I’d say something sarcastic like “stay classy America” but fuck it. Even without the sarcasm it’s apparently impossible for these people. Goodbye and good riddance.

Yesterday we watched Cape Verde play an inspirational game. Today we saw Paraguay play one of the most disgusting games I’ve ever witnessed. Paraguay should be banned from the next WC and the referee should be investigated. Thierry Henry after : “Football Won. I don’t want to talk about Paraguay.”

Hey Alexi Lalas, you fucking overrated piece of MAGA shit, if Canada having an American coach is so special, why doesn't your country have one instead of an Argentinian? Fuck you and the shit gun that is your fucking mouth. We'll watch Telemundo from now on. There's a reason Thierry Henry mocks you

Kudos to Rebecca Lowe for calling The Democratic Republic of Congo by it’s proper name instead of saying “DR Congo” like rest of the Fox people.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 24/06/2026
That Fox refuse to say the words “Democratic Republic of” before “Congo” is some straight up racist MAGA bullshit. Is there not one fucking on air person on that shithole network that can show even a modicum of fucking respect for the players by naming their country properly? Fuck Fox.

Hey Fox Sports. If you’re going to preempt one game so you can pick up the other that was weather interrupted, maybe fucking tell people that if they want to watch the other they should switch to another channel. We set our dvr to watch Norway after The France game but all it recorded was France.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 22/06/2026
So VAR doesn’t even bother checking a possible penalty, referee just gives a corner, then denies Cape Verde a free kick after being fouled. Uruguay basically playing rugby the last 14 minutes. Yeah, sure. Fuck FIFA. Glad CV got the point at least. Good luck against Spain Nuno, you arrogant fuck.

Yeah yeah, Messi and Haaland were great today but….having said that, is it just me or are the real stars this year the goalkeepers? I cannot believe the number of truly amazing saves I’ve seen this year. Some great goals too, to be sure, but goaltending this year….stellar to say the least.

The first three games of this World Cup had British announcers and were enjoyable to watch. These American announcers on the US/Paraguay game are nothing short of painful to listen to.

Mark G @markhg.bsky.social · 12/06/2026
Someone should tell Fox Sports announcers that the guy to Ryan Reynolds’s left, in the bucket hat, is Mike Meyers. A real fucking Canadian, the guy who started “Elbows Up”, as opposed to Reynolds who I have yet to hear anything from about the 51st state bullshit. Fuck Fox. Fuck Reynolds.

Wait. For. It. NASA animation shows Global temps warm slowly at first, then rapidly. Warming is accelerating! Here’s the truth. It’s real. It’s us. And we have to come to terms with it, and deal with reality, rather than deceiving ourselves, and hoping it goes away. It won’t… without intervention.

Can we stop rounding it up to $1.8 Billion. It's 1.776 billion. 1776. Similar to the year 250 years ago. It's not a random number. It's him, and all of them, pissing in our faces and laughing about it. And why am I not seeing anyone else pointing this out.

Yes there's way more important things going on that soccer and maybe you're fine being focused solely on the stuff that brings you down. I cannot do that. Some attention elsewhere keeps some of us sane.

Getting sick of the continued mishagoss around the Arsenal v West Ham game on Sunday. People can argue about that call all they want but it doesn't change the fact that WH had an absolute shit season and it's their own fault they are where they are in the table.

Here’s my take on what happened with Arsenal today. Two years ago a Wolves player threw Havertz to the ground and then held him there with his hand on Havertz’s neck. Ref did nothing. Same player shoved his hand up Jesus’ arse later. Ref did nothing. What happened today works for me in that light.

I’m reading old Optic Nerve comics by Adrian Tomine and someone in one of the letters pages complained about somebody’s mom using the word “party” as an action verb and I thought “Hell yeah. I hate that too. Who started that shit?” But then I had to flip the record over and forgot about it.

Max Dowman’s goal yesterday was a thing of beauty, yeah, but how about that cross field pass he made that led to that first goal. To my eyes it was every bit as beautiful as his run that came after.

More of this, please. The folks in this grassroots group are heroes. Haven Watch lives by the promise, “No One Walks Alone.” Day or night, they show up. When people are released from ICE detention, volunteers meet them in the cold, disoriented, and exhausted. Beautiful and devastating all at once.

When an average gigging life includes permanent damage to financial, physical and mental wellbeing, it’s time to re-evaluate what the business is doing to the people who stand on stage

This is Winston Churchill visiting Washington DC to request assistance in the war against Germany. Notice he is wearing a "zip suit" and not a traditional suit. This was to honor the British troops--the same reason Zelensky dresses the way he does.
