@MattDoyle76 What a run. Thanks for everything and all the best, Matt!

Fifteen years ago, I got my dream job writing for MLSsoccer. Last week, that came to an end.
I'm off on my own, and it's time to build something new – with a little help from all of you.

That race was amazing. She's amazing.

Summer McIntosh becomes the first Canadian to ever win 3 gold medals at a single summer olympics. 🥇🥇🥇
English
We often hear about teams/athletes persevering "against all odds." It's usually hyperbole. Not in this case. What a story.

DON'T COUNT THIS TEAM OUT ‼️ #CANWNT IS QUARTER-FINALS BOUND AT #PARIS2024

Reigning Olympic gold medalists Canada were minutes away from elimination with a 1-1 draw against France. They were on -2 points due to the 6-point deduction from the drone scandal. Then, in the 12th minute of stoppage time, Vanessa Gilles stunned the home crowd to give Canada the 2-1 win. Their title defense stays alive 😱
English
This team never ceases to amaze me. The fight, the heart, the togetherness. Truly special.

NO QUIT IN THIS SQUAD! Vanessa Gilles’ late-game heroics earn us a vital victory! #CANWNT #Paris2024
English
That was actually such a quality finish from Gilles. Inch-perfect.

@michaelegger Yeah, pretty much. If they win all three games, they only end up with three points.
English
@farhandevji What does 6 points mean? Is a win 3 points so they automatically lose 2 games?
English
Thought it might be 3 points.
6 seems harsh.

@farhandevji Just win all three and hope Zealand and Colombia draw and you'll finish 2nd in the group.
Big ask. But slightly doable.

@count_gema @AlexGangueRuzic If I understand this correctly, he needs to be in Canada for two years as a permanent resident before he can become a citizen. As far as I know, he's not a PR yet, so wouldn't happen in time for the World Cup.
Unless there's an exception!
English
@farhandevji @AlexGangueRuzic Ridiculous he doesn’t get the call for Scotland. Can he become 🇨🇦 in time for World Cup??
English
I'll never get tired of watching Ryan Gauld do stuff like this. Two goals up, in stoppage time, and he's still fighting tooth and nail to win back possession. Then, he casually drops a perfect through-ball.
Unreal.

@Shovelthird Good question. This is all speculation, but let's assume he's hit the maximum of 365 days in Canada as a "temporary resident." If I understand correctly, he'd still need 2 more years as a permanent resident, which he's not yet (as far as I know).
Unless there's an exception!
English
@farhandevji Serious question, how much longer until he is eligible for 🇨🇦 citizenship?
English
@newwest4life @fbref I've heard this is a good intro to xG, or expected goals, which is one of the most commonly used "advanced" stats in sports like soccer and hockey: amazon.ca/Expected-Goals…
A couple others:

@farhandevji @fbref Any recommended sports stats book for beginner interested?
English
Just combed through some of Canada's player stats from #CopaAmerica, courtesy of @fbref. Will share a few that stood out in this thread.
Let's start with Ismaël Koné, who led the tournament with 14 carries into the final third. Those marauding runs through midfield 🔥

Representing #CanXNT in ‘08 was one of the proudest moments of my career.
Never thought I’d get the chance to cover the @CBCOlympics but
It’s. All. Happening.
You can find me alongside legends @AndiPetrillo+@_shireenahmed_
Stuff of dreams.
CAN’T. WAIT. 🇨🇦🔥

I am ELATED to announce I will be alongside @AndiPetrillo and @amy13walsh for commentary on the broadcast panel for CanWNT/XNT for @CBCOlympics I will also be doing special commentary for the Olympics because there will be A LOT to discuss. I'M READY. 🔥🔥🔥

@CanMNTonly @undont He deserves some credit for getting into the right positions. But yup, gotta score.
English
@undont @farhandevji Ya, having the most xG/90 and no goals is actually a huge indictment.
English
Same disclaimer as above. Limited minutes, and often came on when games were more open. But Tani Oluwaseyi finished the tournament with the most expected goals/90 minutes.
He also had the fourth most expected goals overall (2.3).
If only one or two went in!
#canMNT
English
Small sample size with this one, so can't get carried away. But Ali Ahmed had the most expected assisted goals/90 minutes in the tournament.
Also had six key passes (passes that lead to a shot), tied for the team lead.
Definitely made the most of his limited minutes.
