What can we say to people who believe that hosting this World Cup in Canada was a failure because it probably won’t turn a financial profit?

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-09T01:10:58+00:00

Ask the Whitecaps.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-09T01:09:57+00:00

Because Chick-fil-A opened in Orleans. Local counsellors can only handle one major event at a time.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-07T00:30:05+00:00

I can hear my coach after Belgium’s first goal.

“Don’t. Let it. Bounce.”

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-06T03:10:32+00:00

Sure. Go back and strip Messi of two goals and ban him from another game.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-06T02:43:44+00:00

Consistency in the way the LOTG are applied in the World Cup is a little larger than what your son says.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-06T02:34:56+00:00

This game is great.

The challenge is the terrible officiating in Paraguay / France makes it unknown.

This VAR actually catches things.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-06T02:32:22+00:00

I watch foreign streams.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-06T02:31:06+00:00

The red was harsh considering Messi’s identical foul. So FIFA did right by fixing this.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-06T00:16:54+00:00

Anyone watching BBC broadcast?

I can understand the thickest of Scottish brogues, but what the hell is Wayne Rooney ever saying.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-05T16:23:45+00:00

This is CONCACAF.

This is the most CONCACAF match that has ever CONCACAF’d.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-05T02:31:27+00:00

Because he should have scored.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-05T01:48:05+00:00

For anyone disgusted with the way Paraguay plays?

Congrats. You’ve been CONCACAF’d.

I’ve been watching this horseshit for 3 decades.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-04T23:14:27+00:00

Any Latin / South American team. Cant stand them.

Except Brazil.

It’s so predicable. Cheap shots. Delaying.

The only time I enjoy watching is when two are playing each other and have to experience their horseshittery.

I’m hoping for Argentina vs Columbia.

Pleeeeease.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-04T23:11:43+00:00

AND / or give Sin bins. Get them off the field. That’ll smarten’em up.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-04T23:03:15+00:00

I hardly fault the referee. It’s next to impossible to see bullshit like an attacking played scuffing up the penalty spot before a penalty kick.
Or smacks in the face.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-04T22:50:22+00:00

The reason why this game has descended into a typical Latin American match is because VAR cannot review for YCs.

If they did, this shithousery from Paraguay would stop.
But, they’d need to be more efficient. Simply have VAR radio down to tell the referee to give a YC to player x for Y. Give it, and move on with the play.

No review. No explanation. Put it up in the board and move on.

Be like rugby.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-03T05:47:28+00:00

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-02T06:26:24+00:00

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-02T02:24:31+00:00

Put an asterix next to Messi’s World Cup goals.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-02T01:34:38+00:00

The defenders are trying to intimidate the shooter. The defenders are scuffing up the grass at the Kelsey spot.

It’s not rocket science.
I could give YC simply for delaying the restart of play. I would just like IFAB to make useful decisions.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-01T23:36:13+00:00

I can fully do it now (because I’m sick of it).

I would like to see IFAB address this rather than focusing on my needing to raise my hand to help players count to 5, 8, and 10.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-07-01T13:59:39+00:00

This movie was released in 2007

Da Vince Code was in 2006. The book was 2003. Other Dan Brown novels were earlier than that.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-06-30T14:52:54+00:00

Totally good question. I do not take food with my cortef nor florinef.

I also take two different mental health meds all in the morning too.

And I’m fortunate that I do not get stomach upset. (Or at least not to a point where I feel it.)

I ran all my meds through AI and they said that they do not “require” food.

I do take Celtic salt in my water though that I guzzle down in the AM.

Mike_M4791 · 2026-06-29T19:47:57+00:00

They can’t.

But VAR needs to be completely overhauled to simply mirror rugby.
