  2. Well … Canada … I apologize for any mockery I may have expressed or implied when you were dumped from the World Cup by a very good Moroccan team 3-0. Because the only mockery should be heaped on the truly dreadful, shameful, display of soccer by the US team tonight. I’ve coached U12 boys teams that were better than the US National team tonight. The constant glaring errors, defensive mistakes, finger pointing, lack of effort, lack of skill, lack of teamwork, were simply embarrassing.

    Yes, Belgium are a good team … but frankly not a great team. They put minimum pressure on our players who were simply too frightened to play. Frightened to be DONE by superior soccer skill. So they literally just stood there … frozen by fear.

    That’s not how we’ve BEEN playing … but it’s how we played tonight. Literally too scared to play. Too scared to try … till the very end when it was too late … and even then, our goalkeeper made an error my pudgy 11yo girls team goalkeeper would never have made … and the most humiliating 4th goal got slow-rolled into our net. OMG. What an utterly embarrassing, horrifying display.

    And don’t get me started on our franchise ‘star’ player, Christian Pulisic who went MIA … until he came up limp … and begged off the field. He had his moment to shine … and instead went and hid … utterly absent among the 22 men. Gawd this was bad. Frankly, I deal well with loss … it’s not humiliating to LOSE … but it is humiliating to play humiliatingly … and get smashed to bits. This was LOSING ugly. Oh well … I can go back to watching quality soccer when the EPL restarts in August. Go Arsenal!

    3. Part of the problem with American soccer – and Canadian – is the lack of songs.
      Chanting “U – S – A, U – S – A” or “CAN – A – DA” is retard level.
      The British do it quite well. Watching Welcome To Wrexham proves that.
      I believe New Zealand fans, or maybe its English – to the tune of Yellow Submarine by the Beatles – sing to Australia Fans, “You all live in a penal colony, a penal colony, a penal colony…”

      1. You’re definitely on to something. Arsenal have a song of praise and one of derision sung to the tune of multiple popular songs … for most every player on their team and in the league. They’re all a hoot! Mexico even sings a BANNED song that mocks the LGBTQueer status of their opponents. Love the NZ song.

        OTOH … the English team rush into the stands after victory and sing the Oasis tune ‘Wonderwall’ … which is maximum cringe.

    1. Even as bad as CA is … I don’t believe that Newsom survived the recall vote with 75% of the vote. And then again in the general election … 75% of the vote. Not believable. Yeah, grease boy is a fan of election FRAUD.

      1. Can’t tell the players without a scorecard.
        Let me get this straight, err anyway, a man who identifies as a woman who identifies as a lesbian gets moved into a women’s prison to have what was once identified as traditional sexual relations between a biological male and a biological female. Afterwards they all play softball together.

        2. Some women have profited from men in women’s prison. Get pregnant, claim sexual assault, and walk away with a million dollars to look after the baby you wanted.

  6. https://www.baystreet.ca/economiccommentary/2857/Economist-Forecasts-Canadian-Dollar-Will-Fall-To-60-Cents-US

    Rosenberg research says the Canadian dollar eill sink to 60 cents by 2030. This is due to our very high national debt (debt by our corporations, government and households): 350% of GDP. David Rosenberg says this expected debt is so high, the Bank of Cansda will finance it by buying up much of the debt. He expects the government portion of the debt to be downgraded to AA.

    1. Meanwhile … our FREE and FAIR elections remain a tainted mess. While Comer calls out the WEAK (R)’s who fiddle with themselves instead of passing the SAVE Act.

    2. I love my 2006 Tacoma.
      It is as reliable today as it was when I bought it 20 years ago.
      Hardly any computer shit in it, which I also like.
      I miss my 2000 Camry, but we had to sell one of our rides when we retired and moved.
      The Tacoma was newer and could hold more stuff for the ride over the mountains.

      I once had an idea for a Tacoma commercial, starring Cheech and Chong:
      Cheech: Hey, man, I love my TACO-ma.
      Chong: Hey, man, it’s pronounced Ta-COMA!

      1. I’m pondering purchase of a 2012 Tacoma. 2012 – 2014 was the pinnacle of reliability in the 3rd generation Tacoma and it’s claimed the 4.0L V6 will run nearly forever.
        Agree completely on the computer/electronic shit. I had a 2002 Sequoia with upgraded stereo and 6 position CD player and it had as much technology as I will ever need or want. I don’t need a game console on my dashboard.

    1. The Federal FRAUD continued unabated … both inside and outside the Federal Govt.
      Yes, we are being looted … and it’s coming from inside the house

          1. You forgot…
            Gimme mo’ o’ dat free shit, which is “infinity” in ebonics.

  18. Stevie … and anyone else who cares … I just got my limited edition WHITE vinyl copy 116/500 repressing, re-engineered Humble Pie Town and Country lp. And it is simply sensational … Sound/Music 5/5.
    https://www.discogs.com/release/35661811-Humble-Pie-Town-And-Country

    I adore early Peter Frampton … and this is Frampton on full glorious acoustic guitar display. OMG … his talent … long before the schmaltzy Frampton Comes Alive … is undeniable. And of course Steve Marriott. This lp died and got little distribution in 1969 because the tiny record company was essentially bankrupt. So this was destined to be a hidden GEM of my generation. The ENTIRE lp is a sonic delight.

    1. Yup, I care,
      Nice purchase. I missed that album along the way, but gonna chase it down.
      My favourite Pie albums are Rock On and Smokin’, but I did like their live effort Eat It.
      Frampton and Marriot, man!

      1. I noticed that Town and Country was engineered/produced by Andy Johns … a pretty impressive family name for such a shit, unknown, label at the time.
        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Johns

        As a vinyl connoisseur… it definitely shows … the younger brother of (more famous) Glyn Johns … learned a thing or two from his brother … although he later engineered Exile on Main Street and Television’s Marquee Moon. And it SOUNDS like it. Frampton’s acoustic guitar is so … present … and Marriott’s voice never clearer … both forward in the mix.

          1. Lucky for me … I didn’t attend enough Who concerts to lose my hearing … so I can still hear a broad frequency and nuances within each one. Cowbell player … did Susan Dey also play cowbell? … oh wait why didn’t the Cowsills play more cowbell? I’m gonna look it up.

      1. That sounds like it came from the CBC!

        But then they would like to see a society similar to Logan’s Run, with those they disagree with becoming part of Carousel, extremely prematurely.

      2. People who know me … can read my sarcasm from 20k feet. No tone of voice needed. They know I would never believe such an absurdity. I mock.
