You know why there’s a Mexican duck and not a Canada Goose at this World Cup?

Because no Canadian would be insane enough to try putting a shirt on a Canada Goose. #FIFAWorldCup

Iraola will lift the gloom encircling Anfield. He’s likeable & knows the league. My question is whether the Reds have the kind of players who can deliver the style of football he wants. He’s definitely more of a gegen press type like Klopp. Maybe we’ll get a hint in the transfer window.

It’s been over 24 hours and Virgil Van Dijk & Ryan Gravenberch are the only Liverpool players to post their reaction to the dismissal of Arne Slot.

I suspect in the season end review, something changed. Maybe one on ones with the players exposed how much Slot had “lost the room.” I also wonder if the club was getting the hint from certain player agents that Slot was an obstacle to them joining Liverpool. Mo, Robbo, Ibu, gone. Summer of change.

A day after Mikel Arteta won the Premier League title, the man he succeeded at Arsenal, Unai Emery wins the Europa League. Maybe he wasn’t such a bad manager after all. Well done by both men.

Need a break from the gloom?

Walking through the neighborhood, I spied this tiny miracle of nature.

Tulips that look like burning flames.

Spectacular.

Quite an indictment of the Liverpool culture by Mo Salah. Timing before his final game is well…awkward. Could he have waited? Maybe. Either way he’s kneecapped Slot for the second time this year. There’s already blood in the water around Anfield but the King just added a lot more.

When Szoboszlai fell after Liverpool tied it and Villa scored, I gave up. The season in 2 minutes. It can’t end soon enough. #AVLIV

A month before Canada opens the World Cup, I got an email from MLSE as a TFC season ticket holder. I could buy a ticket to the opener vs Bosnia at BMO Field - the price range is $1150 to $2955.

The most significant match in Canadian soccer history is not sold out.

Wonder why.

If nothing else, the Arsenal VAR decision should be the impetus for the league & the PGMOL to get tough on the clutching & grabbing. It’s been rampant in recent seasons & only getting worse. Start circulating video to the clubs saying what’s allowed & what isn’t - with zero tolerance.

What’s especially disheartening is I’m more surprised by victory than defeat. Disappointment is the most common form of expectation with this Liverpool club. Hard to fathom after last year’s exhilarating performance. #LFC #MUNLIV

Some images from our footy trip. 4 matches in 4 days. At the Etihad, Selhurst Park, Loftus Road & The Valley. Our band of merry men.

Watched Liverpool win the merseyside derby in the concourse of the Etihad. Then me & my 🇨🇦 mates watched City beat Arsenal to tighten the title race even more. This sign unfurled after the match was “pitch perfect” #LFC

One photo is from Orion, taken in 2026.

The other is from ‘2001: A Space Odyssey’ made in 1968.

Pretty remarkable really. #artemis

Another blowout to PSG next week and these final weeks will feel like a death march for Liverpool. Mo will be glad to see the door. #FACup #MCILIV #LFC

My friend & former colleague Susan Bonner will host her last newscast today on “Your World Tonight”. A dedicated & principled journalist whose career spanned 4 decades in both radio and television. Reporting from Washington and Ottawa. A tremendous legacy that will be hard to replace.

The first #OpeningDay game I ever saw, I covered for CBC Radio Sports in Montreal. The Expos hosted the Phillies. Leading off Pete Rose, who delivered his 4000th hit off Jerry Koosman, a double to RF. Still have the scorecard from that chilly April day at the Big O. #openingnight

Makes you wonder if the emotional impact of Mo’s departure will drive Liverpool forward into a stretch run to a top 5, maybe an FA Cup, maybe even a Champions League title. Some sort of special farewell gift. #LFC

I know he played elsewhere before coming to Liverpool but it’s hard to imagine Mo Salah in another kit. He’ll always be a Red to me. Long Live The Egyptian King. #LF. #YNWA

Alisson is officially a reason for concern. Missed 30 matches from 2017-18 through 2022-2023. Missed 61 from the start of 2023-24 until today. Double the missed matches in half the time. He’s approaching 35. Transition time.

Hard to know how to interpret this Liverpool performance. It’s against a team they should hammer but unlike other times this season, they actually did it. Mo & Hugo may have some chemistry tho the King has a knock. A different set up seems to have made a difference. More of this vs Brighton. #YNWA

There are reports Liverpool chairman Tom Werner was over visiting from the US & was in the Anfield directors’ box on Sunday. He usually only comes twice in a season, at home opener and last home match of the season. An omen?
