    Amazing photo of Christine Sinclair consoling U.S. midfielder and Portland Thorns teammate Lindsay Horan. In one of the most joyous moments of her career, Sinclair takes the time to show compassion. This is what grace, class & dignity looks like. #canWNT

    #canMNT took 8 out of a possible 12 points off Mexico and the U.S. Let that sink in for a second.

    Should Herdman have said that about Croatia? No. Did it serve as extra motivation for Croatia? I'm sure it did. But let's not make it into a bigger thing than it really is. It's not why #canMNT lost. They lost to a superior team with more quality & class. No shame in that.

    If all goes to plan, Christine Sinclair will become the all-time leading scorer in international soccer today, for both men and women. A Canadian. #canWNT Not a Brazilian, Italian, German, Argentinian, Spaniard. A Canadian. Let that sink in for a second.

    I love this photo, because it is quintessentially Canadian. Players of different races and cultures. Players born here. Players who have adopted this as their home. Players who are children of immigrants... One team. This photo is who we are. This is 🇨🇦

    Here's my question: Canada Soccer programs that Bontis mentioned (youth teams, paralympics, futsal, coaching, refs, etc) were going to continue even if #canMNT didn't qualify for Qatar. With WC money now coming in, how can they not afford those programs and also pay players more?

    Did Eustaquio just nutmeg De Bruyne?

    I started covering Canadian soccer in 1999. Never had the chance to write this about the men’s team until now: Canada is going to the FIFA World Cup! #canMNT @CanadaSoccerEN

    19-year-old Alphonso Davies of Bayern Munich is the first #canMNT to win the UEFA Champions League. Unreal. What a great time this is for Canadian soccer.

    I've seen a lot of people dance around this, but let's call this spying/drone debacle what it is: Cheating. Certainly not by the players, who you have to feel sorry for during this mess. But it is cheating. Let's not sugarcoat it. #canWNT
