Screw it: World Cup 2026

This is actually one of my favourite sports things - kind of annoying that the times are all so much later than usual. I absolutely love just turning games on at 9am and working through it.

Anyway, I went to the Canada/Bosnia+Herzegovina game and it was an absolute blast. Had a smile on my face the whole time - was helped by having seats not far behind the net where both goals happened AND was among a ton of Bosnian fans who were bringing it.

Had never seen live soccer/football whatever before, it's so great to watch them do crazy ball shit up close.

I thought about not watching it because the US are doing so much fuckery as hosts but I don’t have anything else going on. The US team was a lot more fun than I anticipated.

I watched a lot of the Canada BIH game — the BIH defenders all looked like bouncers and Canada was getting thrown around for a lot of it. Seemed like there were empty seats at that one, which I was surprised by. Hope you didn’t have to sell a kidney to get tickets.

Didn't see empty seats personally, not sure what the attendance was. I was able to buy my ticket via a resale site for less than 50% of the face value which *was still objectively too much money and basically spent my entire year of personal "doing stuff" money) but it was worth it, imo.

Still got two kidneys - I need to keep 'em in case Eugene Melnyk gets ressurected and needs one.
