He did. He is a baller.

But man, Rodriguez earned those plaudits!

The first was a worldy.

But the second, in the snow - to have that kind of touch on a chip at speed…wow!

I don’t want to belong to a club that would have me as a member!

Nothing like a little shout out from one of my favourite sports writers!

#TheRivalry

I think Müller is a different case, kinda.

VWFC have never been this close to glory in their MLS history. With Gauld and so much other ‘local’ and international talent, they have to strike now.

Having a certified winner on a team that’s never won, is huge.

After watching Tavio score, then hit the bar from a free kick late, I’ve gotta wonder why he hasn’t found his way onto the HFX bench more regularly.

Was he the wee man in the player of the month’s shadow?

(Honestly, how’ve y’all stayed friends with me this long?).

*the 2nd jersey pull (though maybe tug fits, lol)

I’ll have to assume I’ve also lost Gary too, unless the piles/cholera/scurvy have already done him in 😆

I don’t watch your man as much as you, obviously, but I was excited to see him do his thing

After tug 2nd jersey pull & a few “who me?” late legs stuck in, I was like…this guy?

A one off?

Great episode. Solid podcasting, but as fans you must be tearing hair out!

I agree that the double starting strikers w/ no one on the bench is 🥜

But

Playing guys out of position CAN work (see Bobby’s work w/ Poku, AAJ, Borges, etc) but it is a delicate job

🥵 take - Callegari a bit overhyped?

The Eagles.

1. Because it looks menacing

2. They are my team! 🦅 (unapologetic bias)

3. And it also fits my politics…the only one that leans left 😉

Mine too!

I remember being really moved by “Horse and Train” when I first saw it at the Art Gallery of Hamilton as a kid.

Me too

Plus, the fact that Vancouver connects to so many other places, the island, the US, the metropolitan city and its suburbs - makes it all the more generic for the fans in the valley

And it’s a constant reminder that they are Vancouver’s 2nd choice (3rd after the Rise) not the Valley’s first 🤷🏾‍♂️

2/2

Agreed, there are bigger things than names

But seeing yourself reflected in your chosen team is such an easy first step

I would’ve still watched CanPL under the Founders name (🤮) but as a steeltown guy I connected with Forge

(And I never felt a draw to the Toronto Rock at Copps) 1/2
