The draw for the 2026 FIFA World Cup was this afternoon. What a shitshow! It dragged on and on and on before picking... The FIFA President made up some ridiculous Peace award and (LOL!) gave it to Mango Mussolini! For real! FIFA awarding a convicted rapist! I hear Putin in high in the running for the next Peace award. What a joke! Then Wayne stumbling over nations... SMH.
Anyway, the draw. Canada did so-so. Could have been better or worse. The Swiss will be tough. A draw would be a result. Qatar should be a win. And the final team is TBD, but there is speculation it could be Italy. Italy isn't the Italy of the past... it would be bonkers if it was in Toronto. I'd imagine the "Italian-Canadians" would cheer for Italy so... I just assume not have to see that...My guess Canada could end up with anywhere from 2 to 7 points. Not much of a guess...haha.
Hockey Semi final tonight. As usual, whichever team gets a better turn out could decide things. I know we are missing at least three tonight...so... could go either way I guess.
UPDATE Dec 6 @ 5:07PM
The Semi was intense. We were short four players - I think they were missing one. So it was a tall order. And we fell behind early by 4-1. But we stayed at it and slowly clawed our way back. Eventually taking the lead and holding on for the win! So we'll play in the final! And Christmas miracle, I should be able to play as the final has been pushed back a week! No goals for me but as the ball bruises all over my body will attest, I had a strong defensive game. (Goalie even said I'm her best D-man!) Another great team effort. Their tender made it a lot closer than it could have been IMHO... He was great.
Awww Whitecaps... So close. A ball off both posts??! SMH...
