“Here where distance wears down the hearts of the mineral tenderness of the land of stone, forests and cold . We, stubborn, underground and together, let fly our rough and rocky cries to the four winds of the possible future. In the north of our lives we shall live.” song by CANO trans fr French.
Hey @footyprime.bsky.social just to say enjoyed listening to Diche. though I now live in Vancouver, I was at the TfC game where he scored the first goal. My cushion was among those that covered the field. Great memories.! Glad for his success in USFL but would love to see him back in Canada.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social @amy13walsh.bsky.social just listened to episode 1000. Never missed a pod. While you sometimes drive me mad, I commend Wonger’ for his shoutout of Amy Walsh. She has not only elevated the pod, but her work on CBC, TSN and one soccer is top class. Direct and on point.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social . What has happened to the Broadscast. I get @amy13walsh.bsky.social is a busy person. But no NSL coverage in weeks. Perhaps you need to enlist a guest host when Amy is not available, Laura Bryan, Shireen Ahmed, etc?

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social I am often critical of this pod. But just want to say, I never miss a pod. Why because the chemistry and banter amongst all of you is second to none. Keep at ‘er.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social I note JDavid has signed for 6million euros for Juve or 115 k euros per week or 100 k pounds per week. Far cry from what Jimmy B said in a December pod, was 300k per week that he would get. Another example of you guys overestimating the value of our Canadian players.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social may I suggest you listen to today’s ask OTC @otcpod.bsky.social to hear a European view of J. David’s move to Juve. Andy Brassel and Nicki Bandini make some interesting comments, Nicki I think a bit wary, Andy a bit more positive.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social on further reflection I am even more negative than previous posts. The team was so undisciplined. Wound up by Guatemala. These guys have not shown the maturity required of a team to progress beyond the group stage of the WC.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social we just lost to a team ranked 76 spots below us. And tied a team ranked 21 spots below us - like the “minnows” we expect to play in the WC group stage. Are we going to blame this on the heat? Or do we consistently over rate the team, the players and the coaching staff?

Just to say I mourn the loss of Serge Fiori. An outstanding musician. While I’m English Canadian, his impact with Harmonium and his later career is unmatched in my eyes. A musical genius.

A really poor performance. Favorites to win the Gold Cup? Please don’t blame the heat, deal with it.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social you seemed a bit defensive today when I criticized your punditry and the impact I felt it has on your brand. Obviously my opinion only, you did talk about Cruz Azul. Amy gave some stats , you said they were a great team and won a bunch of Championships.

Hey @footyprime.bsky.social You all predicted a Whitecaps victory v Cruz Azul. None of you talked about Cruz Azul and I bet none of you has seen them play this year, yet you could confidently predict a VWC victory? You have an entertaining show but as analysts you are hurting your brand.

Just listened to the latest addition of @footyprime with Diana Matheson. Terrific intvu, great insight. She is a dynamo. Imagine having a dream, a vision and a goal, and no money, and being able to ( with help) create a league from scratch. This is Order of Canada stuff!

Shame on ctv news for not covering the part of the PP press conference today where PP called ctv reporter, Judy Trinh, a protester when she tried to ask PP why he has not obtained a security clearance. I also note CBC news did a story of the incident and how PP is trying to muzzle/manage the media.

So, Stephen Harper endorsed PP today. This is the same man who endorsed Trump and is a friend of dictators Orban of Hungary and Modi of India. And Jenni Byrne who advised Harper and now advises PP is a Trump and MAGA supporter. So what should we expect from PP?

Jesse Marsch- you’ve elevated the CMNT but also committed to soccer in Canada - youth clinics and engagement with all levels in this country. Thank you for what you have done and will do.
