Must say I’m enjoying the halftime show, the top leagues should arrange 1500m races moving forward.

Ok Canadian footy, we are going to be those people who relentlessly brag that “we saw that massive band when it was just playing local gigs,” right? Good. I hope so, we’re allowed a bit of swagger. We deserve a bit of swagger. @AlphonsoDavies #AlphonsoDavies @footy_prime

Fans obv love Bernardeshchi, and rightly so, he's a great player and fun as hell to watch... but what exactly is a coach to do when your star publicly rips you? You HAVE to send a message, you HAVE to take a stand. #TFCLive Love it or hate it, it is understandable, no?
