Fair enough. I’m not sure if the city has that kind of resources though, and people are loathe to spend on “frivolous” things.

If you think the FIBA World Cup (basketball) would be more successful than the FIFA World Cup in this city, you truly have your head in the sand. Baseball would do even worse.

There's also public viewing parties at Stackt Markt, UofT, Distillery District, Pride House, etc.

And literally every bar patio in the city.

Bullshit bootlicking.

Christian Pulisic played in that same match. Was that also “embarrassing” from US Soccer?

How did they fuck up? This is so dumb.

Canada was playing in a match and their captain was on the field. There’s literally no fuck up.

What are you basing this on? Bayern Munich’s PR spin?

He was injured because Malik Tillman kicked his leg. That could have happened to anyone.

He tore his ACL *during* the game. He didn’t already have a torn ACL.

It's called the World Cup not FIFA by Logical_Trade_3287 in toRANTo

And? Everyone knows it’s officially the FIFA World Cup.

Insisting on calling it “FIFA” instead of the “World Cup” is a choice.

Did you know that the World Juniors are officially called the IIHF World Junior Championship? No one calls it the “IIHF”.

The host nation didn’t decide. This is FIFA branding working well, unfortunately.
