  • Anyone got a drone I can borrow?

The Canadian women beat France yesterday in injury time - 2-1 despite all of the hullabaloo surrounding the drone scandal.

The Canadian Olympic Committee has appealed the 6 point deduction at the Court of Arbitration For Sport. We’re due to play Colombia next and if we win - regardless of the points deduction or not - we’re through. If we lose against Colombia, it gets a lot dicier and we have to vie for one of the best third placed teams.

If we win the appeal and get some of or all of our points restored, it gets a lot less complicated.

I agree that Canada Soccer (as in the federation and not the team) and the coaches should be sanctioned and fined, but I don’t agree that the players should suffer for the decisions other people made that were entirely out of their control.

Cheers for that Loopy.

Why are Canadians so self-absorbed in everything Canadian? Right now they’re all shiting on about how ‘brave’ Celine Dion is to perform at the Olympics, when the rest of the world still awaits your apology for inflicting her (and Avril Lavigne, and Bryan Adams) on us.

    You’re preaching to the choir there, Loops. Not much this board doesn’t know about Canadian women’s football.

      We have a massive inferiority complex. When you have the cultural behamout that is the U S of fuckin’ A to the south of you constantly blowing in your ear, we’ll take any chance we can get to mention that so-and-so is Canadian or Canadians did x successful thing.

      We’re normally a pretty reserved bunch until one ours becomes successful at something and then we’ll go to great lengths to pat ourselves on the back that x is Canadian.

      Also, for the record Celine Dion is shit. So is Bryan Adams, Avril Lavigne and Nickleback are the world’s worst abonimation to music.

      On the upside we’ve been responsible for some great musicians like The Guess Who, The Band, Neil Young, Rush, Nelly Furtado and Richie Hawtin to name a few.

          loopdokter So is Bryan Adams

          Sorry, but not having that the ‘Groover from Vancouver’ is shit.

          ‘Tragically Hip’ on the other hand are/were not just a shower of shit, they were like standing underneath Niagara Falls with slurry cascading over it.

              Her name is Nelly Furtaaaaaaado, Loopy.
              Least you could do is Say It Right.

                  Mad_Cyril not bouji enough for you? I’d take a cup of their dark roast (no milk or cream) over any of the swamp water the likes of Nero, Costa and Starbucks serve over here (I accept that’s a low bar to start with)!

                      There’s no love like Canadian love. And no country could give more love. There’s nowhere unless they’re there. All the time. All the way. Right, Loopy?

                      I don’t expect anyone who isn’t Canadian to get the hip, but your opinion is still objectively incorrect. Gord Downey was a national fucking treasure and one of the best front men to ever live. Carry on.

                      Also, no one here likes Celine Dion or women’s football.
