The one thing bothering me about the discourse around the Finlandia judging controversy is the implication Zingas/Kolesnik didn’t fully deserve their 🥉. They’ve made such a big leap & I’d hate for them to be discouraged b/c of something out of their control. But I’m not a fan of the 2nd 🇨🇦 team so 🤷🏻♀️

It was a professional win that sent #THWFC into the League Cup QF draw, while #THFC showed a concerning lack of standards in the NLD. It's interesting how the teams' fortunes are starting to diverge despite starting the season in similar circumstances.
