This is what Bounga said ahead of the #LAFC-#VWFC game after last night: “I don’t think there’s any rivalry in a geographic sense. They are a good team, it’s true that we often play them, but they’re not a rival more than any other team.”

The worst part is he called a double pass on a 3rd-and-1 inside the red zone
Government is shut down. Chaos in airports. 42 million going hungry. 24 million face skyrocketing healthcare costs. Economy in turmoil. And the president of the United States is in the Fox broadcast booth calling plays for a football game.

Sandwich Guy, Thrower of Hoagie–Or Hero?

There have been once homeless Olympians, Olympians turned homeless, but never has a formerly homeless athlete become an Olympic gold medallist and two-time world champ. This is the story of Canadian hammer throw queen Camryn Rogers (of Steveston) and her mom, Shari.

Credit to FIFA for one thing. I can go into their re-selling platform right now & buy a ticket for the final. That was never an option for me in 2014 or 2022. There's one ticket available at Cat 4 for C$2840. Cat 1, 2 and 3 also show one ticket available. Cat 1 is $9240.
