CANADA WITH OUR FIRST EVER WORLD CUP WIN!!!
And it’s one of the wildest wins ever.
Just to put this in perspective, Canada has only ever scored 7 goals in the #WorldCup. 6 of them were scored today.
Jonathan David scored a hat trick. The last time a host country ever scored a hat trick was in 1966.
Canada is now at the top of Group B—ahead of Switzerland. All we need to do is tie our next game and we move out of the group stage!
This is actually the greatest victory for a CONCACAF country ever!
Canada 6-0 Qatar
JONATHAN DAVID HAT TRICK!!!
Unbelievable. First ever #WorldCup win for Canada. And it’s the best win possible.
LOL. We still have 7 minutes left.
Canada 6-0 Qatar
Regulation time over. 9 minutes added. Probably should be more, but officials are likely being merciful.
I’m really beginning to think that Canada wants to win this game.
I CAN’T BELIEVE THIS!
Before this #WorldCup, Canada had never scored a single goal in the tournament. Today, we got five!
And this last goal was a Qatari own goal!
Love this for Canada, but god damn, Qatar must be crushed!
Canada 5-0 Qatar
GOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAL!!!
HAHA! RIGHT OFF THE FREE KICK!
Sucks what happened to Koné with his broken leg. But we’re wrecking Qatar!
Canada 4-0 Qatar
Qatar knows they’re not winning this, so they’re fouling as much as possible.
Wouldn’t surprise me whatsoever if they manage yet another red card.
2nd red card for Qatar after a foul results in Canadian player getting a broken leg!
It’s now 11 Canadians vs. 9 Qataris.
Qatar foul results in a Canadian player breaking his leg!
That was absolutely brutal to see, and now there’s medical staff all over the field.
Yellow card for Qatar—at least for now.
HALF-TIME.
Canada is looking really good. Doesn’t even have our best players, Bombito and Davies. One more goal, and we’re ahead of Switzerland on the leaderboard.
I’m pumped! We’re winning this game big in my hometown of Vancouver! Maybe I should have spent that $1,000 on a ticket! But whatever, I’m home—drinking my tea—so this is good!
Canada 3-0
AM I DREAMING?!
CANADA SCORES AGAIN!!!
1st Half isn’t even over! This is the best #WorldCup game in Canadian history! Only way it gets better is if we score one more goal!
Canada 3-0
Compared to Qatar, Canada looks like Argentina right now.
Qatar being down 2-0 and getting a red card before the 35th minute is so harsh!
It will take a miracle for them to come back from this.
No penalty kick, but a free kick!
Qatar just got a red card!
YEEEEEEEAAAAAH!
CANADA SCORES AGAIN!!!
I LOVE THIS GAME!
Canada 2-0 Qatar
GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAL!!!!
CANADA SINKS IT IN AT THE 16TH MINUTE!
Canada 1-0 Qatar
That finish of Switzerland vs. Bosnia & Herzegovina was disgusting!
Bosnia had to get a red card. Switzerland had to continually pour salt on the wound.
Now Canada has to beat or tie Qatar in order to stay in contention for Group B. And then we have to play Switzerland afterwards!
Switzerland 4-1 Bosnia & Herzegovina

Rashford gets England’s 4th goal in the 85th minute!
I think that just about seals the deal for England—I would be shocked if Croatia comes back from this.
Probably the best opening game that England could have had.
England 4-2 Croatia
Two minutes into the 2nd half, England scores again!
The goals just keep coming—and I suspect this won’t be the last one!
England 3-2 Croatia
Half-time.
So many games have been low scoring affairs, but this one already has four goals in the first half. Definitely anyone’s game right now.
England 2-2 Croatia
Croatia scores again!
This is getting intense!
England 2-2 Croatia
That was beautiful!
Kane gets a header off a corner kick with pinpoint accuracy!
This game is awesome!
England 2-1 Croatia
Great goal by Croatia! England had no chance to save that one!
Well, I may not want them to win but at least Croatia keeps things interesting.
England 1-1 Croatia
I’m cheering for England.
Not because of the Premier League or colonialism or because the #soccer was invented there. I don’t even know any of the players on the English team.
Nope, the only reason I’m cheering for England is because I like this song.

Human trafficking awareness campaigns around the #WorldCup and other sporting events are well intentioned, but not backed by research.
Social workers say increased reports may reflect a "flashlight effect" — more people looking, not necessarily more exploitation.

Best #WorldCup game so far!
And I can’t believe I’m saying this about a scoreless game.
Cabo Verde—an island African country with a population of 500,000—came into this match ranked 67th best #soccer country in the world by FIFA.
Spain, meanwhile, is ranked 2nd in the world by FIFA and are favourites to win the whole tournament.
So what happens?
Vozinha, a 40-year-old goalie playing in the 2nd tier of Portuguese pro soccer, puts on the performance of his life. It was god-like. He stopped everything—all that Spain could dish out, he just smothered.
We have ourselves a legend!
RE: atomicpoet.org/objects/82aa7e1…
Everyone has stopped talking about Gaza. Everyone is just completely consumed by World Cup news, as if football is somehow more precious than the human lives fighting daily just to survive.
those injured and wounded children left on waiting lists, lingering until Israel grants them permission to travel abroad for medical treatment.
Why is all of this happening!

The 2026 World Cup final could cost fans around $10,000 to attend.
For comparison: ticket prices have climbed roughly 1,000% since 1994, while incomes have barely kept pace. Who is the #WorldCup for anymore?
