Dear
@globeandmail
, I read your paper daily to keep informed about what's going on in Canada. I continually read in your sports section about the sports that aren't happening yet. Any chance you could cover those that are? Your
representation & coverage of womens sports matters.
Although there is not yet an
@NWSL
team in Canada, half of Canada's Womens National Team play in the
@NWSL
, and are in the middle of a tournament in Utah. Right now. This is news, and it would be great if Canadians could read about it.
I'm available for follow up. Thanks
For the past three years Utah has been my second home. I wear a mask because I care about my team and my community.
The risk of contracting covid-19 in Utah is currently higher than ever. Be smart and be safe everyone ❤️
@UtahRoyalsFC
Just so proud of this team, there aren’t enough words. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I’d like to say here too, because it can never be said enough, just how incredible Marta is. The women’s game isn’t where it is without her. Generations in Brazil play because of her. 💪🏻
She's done it. What an absolute legend.
For a Canadian to hold this record is simply unbelievable, but at the same time completely believable that Sinc could do it.
Congrats Sinc.
Maybe a good day to put this back out there - my retirement thoughts on Canadian soccer and a pro league.
If you want to help build the bridge, reach out, because after yesterday there’s no way it’s not happening.
That is an acceptable start…

This is Sinc’s 300th cap friends. I think I’m next closest and I’m like 93 behind that. Two more goals and she breaks the Olympic goal record.
We are so lucky to see her play
❤️🇨🇦
Key things as we build women’s professional soccer in Canada:
1. A domestic league is the clear way forward
2. We have an incredible opportunity for it to be women-led
3. We must build a league specific to our Canadian women’s soccer landscape
4. The sky’s the limit!

Personally, two of the loves of my life won gold, what more could you ask for???? ❤️🥇
I trust that Christian Eriksen will have received the quickest and top medical treatment, and he is in good hands. Like the entire football community, sending my love and thoughts to him and his family. ❤️🙏
In case anyone else is confused about the women’s soccer gold medal game, it is currently:
-Thursday at 10pm ET/7pm PT if there is no change
Or, if they change it…
- Sometime probably (very) early Friday morning ET/PT
Someone will let us know 😄😄😄

Thanks for sharing David. I generally don't read articles about the WNT & Canada Soccer, but... wow, some fairly causal/dated sexism in this one.
@TheTorontoSun
, can we try to dig a little deeper for 2018?
It's always been one of the biggest honours of my life to be a member of
@TeamCanada
, and today I'm more proud than ever to be a part of a team that didn't hesitate to put the health of Canadians and the global community ahead of sport.

Today I pledge to take a stand against transphobia within sport and in my community.
To create a safe space for transgender voices.
And to support trans women on their journeys in sport.
Join me. 💪🏻❤️

A road map to build women’s soccer has been mapped out for us by other countries:
1. Build a women’s soccer strategic plan w/ women’s sport + business expertise at the table
2. Create a position within
@CanadaSoccerEN
to oversee women’s soccer
3. Build!
Like millions of others Maradona was my soccer hero as a kid. I think I always tried to play with just an ounce of his strength, his genius, and his passion. His joy for the game and his memory will always live on. RIP to one of the greatest ever.
