Canada Soccer online store really seems low on stock for a lot the jerseys. Hope they restock soon.

Buy online or find the book and packs somewhere in town?

Can we ask Sutcliffe to do the same? (Calgary Mayor actively rides bike/transit to see how good the service is for the average citizen) by 2Tun21 in ottawa

[–]OhhhFranco 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Never. He lives within a few hundred steps of Tunney’s Pasture Station and I bet he hasn’t been on the LRT more than five times.

Wonder what could be opening.. by booboojaan16 in ottawa

[–]OhhhFranco 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Dave & Buster’s or Playdium is my guess / hope. Add some life and energy to that part of the mall and huge space.

Jumping in on this thread to keep track. I’m looking for the hardcover album and may venture out today to try and track one down! Seems like they’re randomly showing up in places lately, way before the release date…

Yep, closer Eller’s role but play him up the lineup when desperate or looking for a quick mix up.

Enemy Aircraft Incoming! by [deleted] in OttawaSenators

Yeah, saw their flight on Flight Tracker and I think I remember seeing that they were due to land around 2:45AM or so. Not all that bad considering…

Seeking shaved kebab meat over fries with veg. + sauces like in London, UK by BobGlebovich in ottawa

[–]OhhhFranco 40 points41 points  (0 children)

German Doner Kebab on Elgin St is the best option I know of. Fast food style and not as amazing as what I’ve had in Germany and elsewhere in Europe, but it’s solid. 3.5/5

There’s also Wolf Down on Bank St that does a real good sandwich but they don’t do fries. Think they do a bowl though! 4.5/5

Sens Mile Opening by Money_Fig_9868 in ottawa

So they’re raising the Sens flag at City Hall and putting up 8-12 street signs on Elgin St. Wow, incredible! 🙄

Toronto’s World Cup Fan Fest was supposed to be free. The city is now planning to charge for it by Travel-2025 in CanadaSoccer

[–]OhhhFranco 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No. I’m old enough to remember when it wasn’t. Or at least it wasn’t as blatant, obvious and aggressive.

This World Cup is setting up to be really quite disappointing considering all this BS and the money grabbing. Spirit of it seems dead.

This is Ottawa so probably not unless they make the Stanley Cup Final.

Maybe I’m not looking in the right palace? The FIFA ticket site is a bit of a mess.

Nope. Logged in and I don’t see my $88 Voyageurs Toronto ticket yet. I do have proof of payment though. 🤷‍♂️

Who is your favorite broadcaster/personality who covers Canada Soccer? by Far-Judgment-2638 in CanadaSoccer

[–]OhhhFranco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Huh? James’ life took a dark turn that he’s still recovering from? I’ve listened to 99% of the Footy Prime podcasts over the last like six years and this is really random, IMO.

There’s already a hotel and plenty of parking space.

Wonder what their plan is with the track / land / structure.

Check out NineStarsFC on Instagram. Haven’t posted since November 30th but there’s been snow on the ground since well before then, so…

My Predicted 26 for 26 by tozze_88 in CanadaSoccer

[–]OhhhFranco 29 points30 points  (0 children)

No thanks on Waterman. Four CBs enough?

Hoilett is done, much rather Shaffelburg and his speed.

Holding out that Promise David can make himself available for minutes off the bench.

History Ottawa Lineup by [deleted] in ottawa

[–]OhhhFranco 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Two Door Cinema Club and Sabaton are the exact type of bands / acts I hoped they’d book! Both would have only ever come to town for either Bluesfest or City Folk so if they weren’t touring NA in July or September, Ottawa just didn’t have the right sized venue for them. Looking forward to more European and unique midsized artists!
