Hello. Some kid (probs not their fault, but rather the social conditioning from their parents) at camp told Max that boys can't wear nail polish. I told him this was incorrect, but he's still not 100% sure. So, if you are a boy, please send him a photo of you wearing nail polish.

@svupodcast.bsky.social my headphones hadn't connected to my phone yet and I didn't realize when I pressed play. So, VERY LOUDLY, on the subway platform, your voice just booms out: but that's just the devil testing you, Matt. Sorry to any Matts that were at Lansdowne this AM.

This whole snafu has had me defending Blatter and Platini. In my opinion, that's truly FIFA's biggest sin. Anyway, it's been 12 long years since I shot my shot at this. Feels like I'm still screaming into the void.

Since spending the weekend at my parents, Max has taken to saying "what the hell?" Except, he always uses it perfectly and within context, so I'm just going to let it be.

It's Pirate Week at my son's camp and today they got to make their own treasure chests. In his? Jewels and fire. Feel free to use that for your band's name.

Thanks to AMAZING people, I reached my goal so I upped it to $100 for every year I've worked (10 yrs = $1K). But, here's the twist: right now every donation is doubled. So, $10 becomes $20, $50 becomes $100 etc. Every bit helps! I am so grateful for your support (financially or motivationally).

What's been the best change/adaption about this Men's World Cup? And why is it "the whole stadium counting down from 10 to kickoff?" I hope we keep that. It's great. You're wrong if you think it isn't.

Oof. Even if the Toronto photo is edited, it's not that far off. It looks like every warm light in the city has been turned on. Or, that you're wearing high contrast orange coloured glasses. The sinister brother of rose coloured glasses.

RE: last post, this is what it looks like outside. Funny enough, that picture is taken on Lansdowne, 3 streets from me. I realize this is an edited photo, it just hits close to home. Like, literally. Speaking of, I can't take my own photos because my camera keeps autocorrecting the colour.

Just went to Tim Hortons (as in, I was outside) and it felt like we were back in March 2020. So eerie out: seems dead even if you see people, no one is talking or making eye contact. Guilt hanging in the air as heavy as the smoke. Fucking hell.

Article that popped up on my Insta feed that I just can't get over. Am I insane?! He is a fucking child for Chrissakes. 48 hours ago, he couldn't even legally drink in Ontario. If you're putting an entire nation on the back OF A TEENAGER WITH BRACES, you're a joker, bud.

Question for people who know about cards (or pass this along to someone who does) I have this. If I had the chance to get it signed, does it improve or wreck the grade of the card? I realize the value of the autograph, I'm strictly speaking grading. TIA

I don't really have a blog anymore, so I'm putting my thoughts on LinkedIn instead. It will not teach you a life lesson that can be applied to b2b sales though, sorry. Anyway, it would be cool if you read me: www.linkedin.com/posts/sonjac...

I am a soccer writer who doesn't have a blog anymore, so LinkedIn is now my outlet. But, you can pay me to write for you. Or, tell someone that they should pay me to write for them. Or, share this...

My biggest issue with soccer has always been that there were too many incredible goals scored 40 seconds after a marginal foul happened on the other side of the field. So glad they fixed this.

My last thought before bed: I wish we had just gone out on pens last game. I know that's not fair to the players, the staff etc. But at least we'd keep our dignity and not be used as some sort of weird prop. This team is good. This wasn't fair to them. Or me.

Like, imagine being Argentina, scoring that goal, and the world just rolls their eyes and groans? I think that's the annoying part: Not that CH lost, but because this is all stupid. Like, if you're going to play on easy mode with cheat codes, I'm going home. Literally and metaphorically, I guess.

Sonja Cori Missio @sonjamissio.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Don't get me wrong, great strike. But that's not the point, is it? It's not an amazing feat to come back from the brink every. single. time. At one point it stops being the fortune of the players, but rather the fortune of circumstance.

Sonja Cori Missio @sonjamissio.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
Like, at this point it's not even sour grapes or sore loser. This is just like playing a game with my four year old where the rules change every 3 mins, it's cheating if I score a point, and there's a vortex over there suddenly for some reason. What's the fucking point?

Sonja Cori Missio @sonjamissio.bsky.social · 12/07/2026
The only good thing about this game is that anyone who was on the fence about Argentina, has flung themselves over.

"iT wAs A dIvE!" Okay, first, I legit think only North Americans (Canada / USA) and the English dont "get" diving. Second, it's not just about what's being called, it's also about what's not being called. It's cringe.

There are 3 things I do that make me realize I am very much, undoubtedly, my father's daughter: 1 Having irrational anxiety and anger around garbage day 2 Saying "take it easy" as a goodbye 3 Watching soccer on mute because every commentator is an idiot and doesn't know what they're talking about
