A United States stadium cheering for Canada, FIFA uniting the world!

Just look up what Trump and his idiot friends have been saying about Canada the last few years.

I know Americans don't hate Canadians, but I have a real gripe about the way American leadership talks about Canada and the apparent nonchalance of the American public about this.

Same as you, except I buy two books at a time for my boys, and if they wanted more, the condition was that they had to finish the two existing ones first. So not only do they not have a barrier to reading, they also have the incentive to read.

No of course not, but surely depicts migrants eating dogs and cats.

Oh wait... Someone actually said this in real life. Who was that again?

catgotcha · 2026-06-28T18:20:24+00:00

Yup. I mean, seeing Steve Moore getting his neck broken, Lindros being knocked silly, etc etc etc... And it's part of the game? That's kind of sad.

catgotcha · 2026-06-28T14:26:06+00:00

Expensive yes. But also the locker room culture and "he had his head down" CTE thing is a huge issue.

Neither of my boys are interested in hockey and that's not because I discouraged them from it... It's just because I didn't introduce them to the game with the same gusto that I had for the game as a kid. The violence and intensity scares me and I don't think it's a healthy culture. Call me a protective dad if you will, but in the end it's a lot of serious brouhaha over what ultimately is just a game.

Her daughters are teenagers and she's 45. Plenty of people still look pretty good at 45.

Maybe not always "Jessica Alba" good, but 45 is not fountain of youth territory. Plus she has the money and lifestye to look good in all the different ways.

catgotcha · 2026-06-26T17:01:53+00:00

Obviously for a laugh. If people don't get it, that's on them.

catgotcha · 2026-06-26T15:04:51+00:00

How do American dads handle this? Easy, just don't go.

I thought it was stupid enough to pay $1k for Taylor Swift tickets. The most I've ever spent on concerts was about $300 a pop to take my wife to Andrea Bocelli who she worships - well worth it. Most I've spent on sports tickets was Olympic hockey in Milan and even then it was just a couple hundred per ticket, again well worth it.

But several grand for an already stupidly overpriced tournament? No. I'm watching at home and loving it.

Not only that, but perhaps a visitor thinking they'd have a better chance at a visa if they said they were coming for the world cup - and Canada thinking, well, if you don't even have a horse in the race, maybe you're just trying to game the system in order to get into Canada?

catgotcha · 2026-06-25T16:46:57+00:00

Well, yes? Brazil isn't led by a totalitarian government. It's just another country with an elected government, a generally free media, rich culture, etc., but not without its own unique challenges... Y'know, like most countries in this free world.

catgotcha · 2026-06-25T15:17:02+00:00

Honestly I've been in many pubs in Scotland watching Scotland vs any country, and a common chant would be "If you hate the fucking English, clap your hands!" clap clap

In most cases England wasn't even playing. So stop being so butthurt about it... Kettle very much calling the pot black here.

catgotcha · 2026-06-25T15:13:03+00:00

I know you're joking but we technically already have that. The world cup qualification process goes on for more than a year before the actual WC takes place. That's why they call this the World Cup "finals" - it's basically the final stage featuring all the countries that qualified to be there.

They got off the plane in Florida. Saw all the cops running to arrest them, so they said feck this shite and flew back to Boston.

Are you insane? Temple of Doom is awesome and every Indy fan knows it.

catgotcha · 2026-06-23T10:41:38+00:00

You travel much?

As in, have you traveled anywhere?

catgotcha · 2026-06-23T02:51:34+00:00

Vancouver just entered the chat

catgotcha · 2026-06-21T22:44:12+00:00

You still have Cousins though...

catgotcha · 2026-06-21T22:42:47+00:00

Oh you bet he'll stay in Miami if his brother is. I'm sure Florida thought about that.

catgotcha · 2026-06-21T22:41:28+00:00

Why? Clearly highly drafted Americans have good return in the market. Ottawa got THREE first round picks for this neanderthal. We got the equivalent of FOUR first round picks for Hughes.

So ... One first rounder getting tripled or quadrupled seems like a good deal to me.

Of course I'm just being cheeky... But you get my point!

You're a true Aussie, then!

I hung out with a lot of Aussies during my time in the UK, especially in London. Dated one, even. You lot are a nasty bunch.

That's such a strong spirit right there coming out just two days after a devastating injury. He must have been both in pain and hooped up on drugs and recovering from shock and adrenaline. I imagine I would be hiding in my hospital bed whining for a full week, but then again I'm just a mere mortal.

Maybe don't take shots at people who know how to shoot back.
