I might try and find a pub to watch the first match against Belgium, on the off chance Canada can make a dent, but I'm just naively hoping they can make it out of the group stage.

Never heard either of those. This is one IMO:

if you want one before the world cup most places likes sportschek finally got them in stock after a year of no stock for replicas.

authentics are good loving luck unless you want to pay 300$ from the canada soccer store to get it in time, and only get it in white

I struggle to see how Davies doesn't play in the WC but it sucks we probably won't have him at 100%

Where are people watching the games? The official watch parties in Toronto are all at pretty lame bars imo ( sorry Voyageurs / Jamie, love you anyways ) so I'm going to head to the Cloak and Dagger on College. It's suitably dodgy for football supporting and getting day drunk imo ( RIP Duke of Gloucester )

Also, I had a dream that I'm calling a premonition that I was in a Niagara Falls casino sports book watching Canada in the round of 16. I'm in Niagara for a conference around that time and gosh darnit I think it's going to come true.

I don't want to lorepost too hard, but I had not one but two ex-girlfriends decide later to move to Canada with dudes who had major emotional or substance abuse problems that they made seem mysterious by being polite and passive-aggressive (do not post that they have a type, they do not have a type)

anyway, I got talking to one of these dudes and he said they were going to live in kelowna, which was "just outside vancouver"

it turns out that kelowna to vancouver is a five-hour drive through nothing and I had to point out that if I drive five hours from my house I can either get to Scotland or France

the other one somehow did worse and ended up in St John's, lol; lmao
