I don’t really like using terms like anti football with tactics like this especially if it’s a smaller nation…. What do people want them to do?? Go attacking and lose 6-0? The only way some nations stand any chance is with this type of tactics.
Has Canada ever been more down bad?
Lost Gold Medal to USA
Eliminated from World Cup
33 years without a Stanley Cup
America 250 going on down south
That must suck. Pour out some maple syrup and a Labatts for our fellas up north.
@HeidiBriones I think you misread it because one wants to be loved and the other couldn’t give a toss if he’s loved or not he just wants to play soccer and help his teammates win.
I’m not a Taylor Swift hater (beyond the obvious billionaires shouldn’t exist etc) but it is amazing how this wedding played into literally every single negative stereotype about her- like her biggest hater couldn’t have designed it better.
Seriously, Canada beet Bosnia and Qatar at home. Beat South Africa in round of 32. Lost to the only good squads they played against. Can we stop acting like they had an incredible run?
I get underdogs are cute but in Paraguay's case I hope they are eliminated as fast as possible
Unlike teams like Cape Verde and DR Congo, Paraguay doesn't play a style that's fun to watch
Every game they play is a slog and the longer they survive the more games they'll ruin
@NoodleHairCR7 To an extent, I agree with you, but they did play cleanly until France cheated with that dive to win the penalty shot. Once that happened , I can’t blame them for the shenanigans.
Canadian multiculturalism in action. Canada loses to Morocco and the street below erupts, not in disappointment, but in celebration. In what other country do some immigrants cheer against the country they now call home?
@MichaelShurkin I would also say our current government is proof positive that Canada needs a second amendment. This is a kind of government the second amendment, was created for.
@JordanSchachtel I know Jesse likes to be super positive but that’s just a bad take. Not to mention factly incorrect. We would rather be Morocco than Canada.
To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

@Keir_Starmer What point are you going to stop lying both to yourself and England. You are a colossal failure who should be prosecuted for your crimes against humanity.
Am I the only one who thinks only a massive self centered narcissist throws their own wedding in Madison Square Garden and chokes off midtown Manhattan on a Friday of a Holiday weekend? Its not like they didn't have the money to fly everyone someplace less conspicuous.
I don't think Australian understand.
If we hadn't spent a single cent on Net Zero.
And hadn't pursued mass migration from the third world.
Just those two things.
We'd be one of the richest nations, per capita, in the world. One of the safest nations. One of the most energy-rich nations. A nation where our own kids are first in every queue - housing, education, employment...
Two mistakes from politicians cost us EVERYTHING.
