Case in point, Montreal has been talking about building a new stadium for at least 10 years. Vancouver hasn't had plans to build a football specific stadium since their inception into the MLS.

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 12h

I don't want to get hopes up, but Vancouver and Montreal would be ideal. But considering both won't have owners that build stadiums, it's all talk.

I heard the Fox commentators were horrible

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 1d

Sunderland is a fluke. I mean part of me thinks the team is tired and its showing. They had a busy schedule this year. The talent is totally underperforming right now.

Am I the only person who didn't like the fact they brought the dancing church choir instead of having Canadian talent singing the national anthems? This is not an American game FFS.

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 1d

Now there will be questions of Maresca after this performance if they lose this game. We have the talent but not the finish. This isn't looking good.

Pre- Union*

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 2d

I've been to three games. One Jays v Dodgers. The others were Mets and Angels. I know one of the games we talked from a bar on Sunset. The others we drove. This was obviously pretty Union Station shuttle.

Ya I noticed he surfaced on MLB Network.

Dodgers stadium is aesthetically nice. Getting there is an absolute disaster.

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 2d

Ha! It was laden with a combo of arrogance and idiocy

I was curious to see the @ktla.com news cast. So fucking amateurish reporters. Called our turf Astroturf. Talking about our roof. My God!

Cannavaro, Ronaldo and Zidane for sure.

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 4d

I didn't realize the Dodgers were hated that much. But I guess after hearing Dave Roberts mention they have "ruined baseball", I see why.
The Jays won't be swayed by them. Can't wait for Friday night.

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 4d

I have been flipping between the Chelsea and Juve games. I missed the Red card and the 3 goals before Estevao's PK. He did a pretty good sell job after already getting taken down in the box and not awarded the penalty. Anyway Amsterdam must be fuming.

André Darmanin 🇨🇦 🇹🇹 🇲🇹 🇪🇺 @andredarmanin.bsky.social · 5d

Well folks, this was for Game 7 tickets as a non season ticket holder. Only resale tickets. I knew there was an offchance but nope. Anyway safe to say, I will be watching the games from home or at a bar.

@zygie24.bsky.social Dodgers beat the Brewers. Chelsea is owned by the Dodgers. So who you got?

Have the Raptors and Leafs asked the NBA and NHL for time/date changes yet? Raptors home opener is Friday night. Leafs are in Buffalo on Friday and play Buffalo here on Saturday.

Let's Gooooooo!

LOL! Sportsnet warns about vulgar language.

Why isn't Schneider swearing on Fucks? Was he warned?
