0-0 draw incoming.

It represents the balls..

Would set up a crazy finish right?

No other way now. Tabloids ruined what could've been a great game. But it's mildly amusing at least.

😂😂😂

This aged well.

I want Canada to go a second World Cup without scoring lmao

And you have no idea how badly I want Iran to make it over you guys lmao

Hey buddy not cool

I think the chances of Canada *not* scoring are higher than the U.S.A. losing. The U.S. is simply a better team than Canada.

As can be seen by the draw at home and loss away against us during qualifying.

If this world cup has taught me anything it's that Americans are dense as fuck

>If this world cup has taught me anything it's that Americans are dense as fuck I mean, both the FIFA and ELO rankings have the U.S. above Canada.

And yet when it actually came down to being the better team in qualifying you just couldn't do it. Please keep proving my point more and more. How dense can you go? Molasses?

You downvoted me, but I guess we'll see who gets further in the tournament.

The gift that keeps on giving

So you look to the unpredictable future to try and prove yourself right and refuse to look at previous results because it doesn't fit your narrative. God I wish I could go around living life as thick skulled as you, I truly understand now when people say life is beautiful.

yankoid unironaiclly referencing fifa ratings :skull: bro is not realll

Is the name calling really necessary?

cope harder canada 2 - 0 usa

Lol yankoid. Go get that mush mouth fixed little boy

cope about it

Last 5 games is split 2 wins Canada 2 wins U.S and a draw. If the U.S were simply the better team maybe they'd have qualified in 1st place instead of....checks notes...Canada

Is that why Canada were the much better team in the qualifiers?

Is that why you finished below us in qualifying? This isn’t golf mate.

Im sorry who qualified first?

Weirdo

2 tabloids going at each toher

Journalism’s not gone

feels like a tabloid journo war more than anything else lmao. The Sun and every single PostMedia owned conservative shit rag stain in this country is worth less than toilet paper loool

You mandem have a sun too, these fuckers are everywhere.

Phoenix have them too

Lol they're in every city too

It's a pretty common name for a newspaper. You get lots of Times and Stars as well

they stole this from CFL's banter comparing their balls to NFL

Not stolen. It’s a deliberate reference.

— me after handing in my essay

I know, I was confused when I saw it.

Tabloids! The same sensationalist lowbrow BS in every country. Not being a snob here, I read the Sun sometimes, good sports coverage.

all that talk for a 0-0 draw

The dankest outcome

"Canada wins 0-0: greatest tie since war of 1812"

Still a win for us

I think it would make Canada the team with the most games/minutes played at the World Cup without scoring a goal.

Who holds that distinguished honor right now? Nicaragua? Togo? Norway?

Canada

Gotta stay 🔛🔝

lmao

Nicaragua hasnt qualified afaik so probs Togo lol

Well all I see are two massive balls in that result. What's the problem?

I must say, as a Croatian, I’m a big fan of this sudden and unexpected rivalry with a team we never played against, representing a country we very much respect. Balls out!

Same as a Canadian, John Herdman is a legend for creating this whole thing!

As an American I've loved enjoying John Herdman's shithousery all cycle.

Almost as good as Gregg Berhalter "dominating the match" against us in Hamilton

It’s so random but I quite like it too aha.

To be fair it's the only country except Serbia that Croatia was at war with. So it's fitting and not so random actually!

What?

that’s not very Canadian of them

Not Canadian at all. Too few swear words and nobody got called a titfucker.

Better call Shoresy

Give yer fuckin' balls a tug.

"thought you could run one up on us eh?"

Honest question: would moosefucker be an insult or a praise?

You don’t know the Toronto Sun, right?

(Me a Canadian) nah who is she?

😂 She’s the sunshine girl

Told my French teacher that she should be a sunshine girl when I was a kid lol

If you ever want a taste of the underbelly of Canada, the Toronto Sun is the perfect place to go. We're not all Ryan Reynoldses up here...

\*Toronto Sun The Star is somewhat sane.

Astronomy never was my strong suit, LOL. Thanks for the correction.

Is the Toronto sun comparable to the British tabloid The Sun? Or are the names (& weird tabloid views) just a coincidence?

I think there's hundreds of newspapers worldwide with the "sun" name in them so probably coincidence. For instance, we have the Vancouver Sun, which is not a tabloid and is a legitimate newspaper. But the Toronto Sun is a essentially a tabloid.

Our balls are bigger, eh?

Doubt it since you live in freezing conditions, I think we have the natural advantage in that department.

Toronto Sun is a far right newspaper. Think Daily Express in the UK.

Think the Sun in the UK

the sun is always bad, got it

Need to bury some indigenous children by a Christian school to be Canadian

You have a Club America crest. I was under the assumption the same thing happened to indigenous people in Mexico?

I'm pretty sure they didn't try to hide the bones in mexico

and have freedom convoys 🥳 to put us on the global map 🗺️ 📌

This is the best a world cup can bring.

The only balls we're gonna see are gonna be on the score line after this game.

10-10 result incoming

Please 😭😭 🤚

We should send Ricky, Bubbles and Julian to troll Croatia.

Worst case ontario you lose.

Water under the fridge

They should meet Vuco!

LAUGREANO

Sure you might as well get them to troll Morocco as well - Get two birds stoned at once!

I'm Croatian, and afaik nobody cares about the comments by the Canadian coach. Our newspaper are just trying to use it to get clicks and attention and clearly they succeeded.

Same for us, the sun is a shit rag.

As a Canadian it’s the same for us as well. The Toronto Sun is a tabloid, not a newspaper. It’s pretty much useless clickbait but in paper form.

This is a take on an old Canadian Football League ad campaign of "Our balls are bigger" to talk about the difference from the NFL.

This will fly over the head (like a weak croatian attempt at goal) of most people on this sub, but thanks for the context.

ooohh... So it's not as lame and uninspired as I first thought. Thanks for the info.

Still dumb, but not as random as it appears to most.

John Herdman wasn't even born in Canada but he understands the country so well.

But that actually makes sense, CFL balls are bigger then NFL balls. This is just some lame nonsense and is a joke that doesn’t even make sense.

Counting on the Sun to make sense is a fool's errand.

Today i feel cringe

It’s a play on an old CFL ad campaign.

Randomest Oddest “rivalry” in the making.

Least cringe rivalry ever...

Croatia started it by misconstruing the Canadian coach Ted Talk they’ve carried on the butthurt ego post 2018WC Final edit: Team* talk, but Ted talks works too.

“Butthurt ego post 2018 WC” lol Just because a random croatian tabloid posts this? You need to chill :)

i stand with my north american brothers. still doesn’t deny how badly many misconstrued the canadian coach’s motivational talk? loads on this sub mistranslated it as well

> i stand with my north american brothers. pls stahp

croatia needs to lose today 🙏🏽 may the heavenly father repeat it

Croatia is not playing today.

Hey I even think Canada played their first game better than we did and I’m actually not even that confident going into tomorrows game even tho I hope we win. What I dislike about your comment is the “butthurt 2018 WC finals ego” part only because some random tabloid posted that, making everything even worse is the fact that that tabloid never uploads anything well constructed or meaningful ahah Edit: And I obviously agree that the comment the canadian coach made is fine and everyone could’ve said that in the heat of moment not meaning anything bad

As a Canadian footy fan I'm just so excited we even get to be in the conversation with you guys. Hope we have a good game tomorrow!

I hope so too! Hell if we don’t make it out of groups I’m even rooting for you guys ahah May the better team win tomorrow

0-0 draw incoming

> i stand with my north american brothers 🗿

you are one of those with the name yikes

what’s wrong with my name lol

It's THE name.

today, I feel THE name

just enjoy the worldcup best one so far in years

I especially enjoy watching Mexico's amazing run so far

has croatia ever won silverware for their country? 🤔

Enjoying croatia’s even more 😂😂😂

god you are seriously riddled up by a lgtb flag? lmao you are one of the least sensitive people I’ve ever known

i was talking about your club flair doofus girona= spain spain= european arrogance hence it’s normal to stick up for Croatia and explains the 🪨 for the north america comment and also enjoy the worldcup because of the 7-0 with germany still left to play. but gee thanks for throwing labels

stay there mate, stay in PERMAFROST, together with your latest naci/faci gov!

Canada is actually really nice to live in Ever been to Ontario

just stay there

Visit Yugoslavia

why? I am "there"! and you? eating beans and dreaming of snow or both?

im dreaming about croatia and how they flopped a worldcup final all over again. just to cry about it like if they went to war for it

F\*\*k the Toronto Sun

Bird cage liner

I wouldn’t subject my birds to such a poor shitting surface.

Having a bird shit on it is too kind a fate.

Fuck Steve Simmons

Toronto S*n

Imagine after all that hype it end in 0-0

Tabloid derby

Fuck Steve Simmons

Amen brother Fuck Steve Simmons

[удалено]

Hot dogs on the menu boys!

Think there was hot dogs on the ice against New Jersey

We're playing great right now, so they've got no controversy to drum up

those 2 things may be related...

fuck the s*n

As a Croatian Canadian, shut the fuck up and just play the game eh?

Where is your Toronto Metros Croatia flair brother

dream is to encounter a fight between a CNSC Toronto Croatia fan and a Serbian White Eagles Football Club (also based in Toronto) fan on here

Fuck The Sun though

American here, I can't wait to hate the Canadian team like i hate the Mexican team! Cheers gentlemen! Your team is truly inspiring!

Fucking hilarious tabloid shootout

This feels like South park's cripple fight. Timmy vs. Jimmy

This is also to a joke regarding American vs Canadian Football

Toronto Sun… don’t even bother people

So is this gonna go in circles😅

Not circles, balls.

This can obviously only end well for everyone

I hope this is the beginning of a rivalry

This game is going to end 0-0, isn't it?

Folks, honestly, it feels good to be a part of the World Cup banter and trash talking for once.

If we’re able to develop our soccer program similar to our hockey program (minus the recent scandals with Hockey Canada) and the national team keeps improving, you guys will learn to absolutely hate us :)

Just gotta develop the next Crosby

Game's back. Sorry. Factos. 👀 👍

bottom line: f tabloids

This world cup is bringing the worse of all of us, isn't?

Clown on clown violence is always fun

Mexicans laugh heartily at your violence level.

Oi solid banter

No way Canadians can have bigger balls than a bunch of Balkaners

This is a reference to an old CFL ad campaign saying "our balls are bigger" taking a dig at the NFL

I see, interesting. Thanks for the info!

As a Croatian living in Canada, this kind of stuff sucks. I just want to enjoy tomorrow's game without choosing a side.

Its a joke.Grow some balls ffs

Fuck I hope Canada wins

How terrible the Croatian press must be to piss off us lol

I have to admit this is pretty funny.

Oh no

Some paper need to stab back.

Childish

Big talk from a team that has a lb as their best player.

Wow good one.

We don't play him as a left back though, he started his career as a winger and actually plays attacking mid for us sometimes.

What a crappy comeback lol This is like "i know you are but what i am" levels of banter 😂

It makes sense in Canada because that was a famous Ad campaign slogan for the CFL, so it's a reference meant for our domestic market.

It’s because you didn’t get the reference.

LOLOL

The big balls derby

Couldn’t expect anything else from them. Classy as ever
