So we could conceivably see Canada in with Croatia or Uruguay as second seeds. Then Norway as third seed and Italy as fourth. 😬

AFC Toronto start 8 Canadians in the NSL final. Rise start 7. Good to see that when it matters most there’s this many Canadians on the field.

Tuned in for the penalties in the Canada v Ireland U17 WC R32 game. 9-8 loss for us in 10 rounds of spot kicks but the testosterone-fuelled shit-talking between the two teams was off the charts.

From The Economist. Never thought I’d see a survey that conveyed this.

So the same day the current issue of BTP came out I went to an all-club BCCSL meeting. Discipline was on the agenda. We were told that the day before a U11 girls game had to be abandoned because parents from both teams got into a large fight. 😐 gregors-newsletter-aefa0e.beehiiv.com/p/behind-the...

That’s 3 games without a goal now for #canmnt and still very few locks for starting positions on this team. From gk to striker, still tons of uncertainty as few have grabbed the chance to make themselves invaluable ahead of the World Cup.

U17 Men’s World Cup; Surely there’s never been a round robin group that finished this tightly. Hard lines Uganda and Chile!

Watching Liverpool v City and enjoying Gary Neville having to be complimentary towards both of his most loathed teams. 😂

“Free” speaks to the integrity of this club. Many charge significant amounts to attend an “open” tryout. This stuff matters and contributes to perception and credibility. Well done Rovers.
Want to play for the mighty TSS Rovers? We have a free open tryout for men’s team players November 30. Come join our club and give us another name to sing.

Surrey, BC’s own Jenn Gardiner on the Vancouver Goldeneyes name ahead of the 2026 PWHL season.
“When I think of the Goldeneyes, I think of the landscape of British Columbia: the mountains, the ocean, and the grit that comes with growing up here.”

Six players from Brampton and only two from all of BC. We’re clearly punching below our weight here.

Ucluelet is stunning. Another absolute BC gem of a place.

If you’re not watching this Clasico, you’re missing one of the most dynamic, technical games of the season. Incredible pace the entire first half. RM
full value for their 2-1 lead. This is our game at its best.

I mean, when you frame it this way….!
Manchester United are three points off second place and six off top after playing Arsenal, City, Chelsea, and Liverpool in the opening eight fixtures.

Eight games in and Celtic is in second place and Rangers sixth. What the hell is going on in the Scottish Premiership?

Hard to imagine the day would come when Liverpool desperately need a late goal against United…and they take Mo Salah off.

Tricky scenario for the Caps at half time. 1-1 and down to 10 men. They’ll take first in West as it stands but three teams in the East will finish ahead of them making it unlikely they’d host the final if we make it there. Bring in Gauld and go for the win or settle for draw?

Imagine being one of the most insecure, needy desperate people on the planet with a craving to be told every minute that you’re great, but seeing millions upon millions of people take to the streets to vent their repugnance with you. lol. #nokings

Yeah, can’t believe he didn’t get the Nobel Peace Prize being such an incredible humanitarian and all.
That's twenty-seven flat-out murders. That's twenty-seven lives taken without even a semblance of a legal justification under domestic or international law.
