Canadian men can play footie!! Really!! World Cup 2026

[Mendalla]

Not sure if it is home advantage (well, home continent) or what, but we are having our best men's World Cup ever. Won a game for the first time, made it to the knockout stage for the first time, now we are in the second round of the knockout stage. While Canadian women have historically done well, our men have lagged. But this year, we have really stepped up our game. Unfortunately, our next game is going to be against either the legendary Orange, aka The Netherlands, or Morocco, both top rated teams. So making the Round of 8 seems unlikely. But anything is possible in a sudden death tournament like this.

I watched the goal yesterday. Screamed like a madman.

Not super invested in football, but that was a great moment.

Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of any spectator sports but I do tend to watch a bit of footie during the World Cup and Olympic tournaments.

And we are playing Morocco in the Round of 16. They beat the Dutch on penalties yesterday. Interestingly, Germany, another World Cup perennial favourite, also went down yesterday, to Paraguay. Less unexpectedly, Brazil beat Japan. Shaping up to be an interesting tournament, actually, now that the politics and economics are taking a back seat to the actual sports.

Are there times when there are great moments in what is otherwise consumptive? May accomodate that gnawing sensation that I should be doing more when my labors bave been curtailed and censored ... as it is hard to tell much in a difficult surrounding ... so we often don't say ...

Some philosopher once said if you don't care ... something fades ... an abstract? Incarnates as if it isn't ... so really in the absolute ... we are told to limit your care and just sell the industrious ... thus the infernal buzz of burning will ... can we escape it? There has to be ways ... since we did get into it ... thus outies!

Ever encountered an outDais ... when your lights were off somewhere ...

This is the only sport I ever pay any attention to, and only during the World Cup. But it's always a clusterfeck of missed moments. Canada's only goal on Sunday? I had nipped into to the kitchen to turn off the kettle...

Sounds like a safety issue if Andy Cap did more of that he wouldn't have suffered so many scrapes ... troublesome? Aye 'll do it ... as Hebrew Ayl bounded along ... bubbly?

Watch someone get distraught although it refers to Bambi ... the double ambient ... requiring extensive elaboration ... but alas no one goes there ...

Good match tonight. I was sorta hoping Croatia would best Portugal, but they didn't pull it off. Massive good try. Portugal the better opponent for the 16.
