To all of the Winnipeg footy supporters:

You deserved better and hopefully someone will treat you, the city and the sport with more respect next time.

Hopefully it's the NSL.

That is now called a "Commonwealthico".

It's like an Olympico, just not as good. #NSLfinals

TFC more than held their own against Lionel Messi and Inter Miami by recording a come-from-behind 1-1 draw on Saturday before an announced crowd of 28,855 at BMO Field.

Now, here's a glimpse of what to expect at TFC Republic in the coming days.

“I guarantee if you get me, Napoleon, and 5 guys in a Buffalo Wild Wings he’d be like ‘this is way better than the Iberian Peninsula’.”

No exaggeration, if Elon Musk had a half dozen dudes to get wings with every Friday night, Twitter would still be a functional website.
