FIFA TV Spectacular

Anybody seen any of this train wreck from the Kennedy Center?  At one point it looked like a WNED TV fundraiser…I’m sure FIFA’s Mike and Goldie will thank you for your $25 donation with a tote bag and a Grass Roots compilation CD. 

Bizarre.

Re: FIFA TV Spectacular

No I haven't watched any of the "trainwreck" I am mildly interested in who our opponents will be. Canada still holds the dubious honour of being the only country not to score a goal in its opening round. That happened in 1986. In 2022 we were able to score two goals! Maybe in 2026, we will obtain a draw or maybe one victory. Advancement to the next round... Well Leaf fans know all about that. Face it Canada is to soccer what hockey is to Italy.

Re: FIFA TV Spectacular

I recently read that because does not permit any stadium sponsor names not associated with FIFA. So all the games will be played at Toronto, Vancouver, Dallas, Boston, NY/NJ Stadium. All references to the stadiums actual names must remain covered at all times during matches. Now it has been announced that bars/restaurants that will hold watch parties are forbidden from using any symbols or wordings dealing with the tournaament. You cannot have a "World Cup" watch party. Customers could be invited to watch today's "Beautiful Game" match. The NFL does the same thing with the Super Bowl. Electronics stores always have great deals on big screen televisions to watch "the big game"

Wayner really covered himself with glory. He certainly showed the value of a high school education.

We certainly learned that he failed geography

What a horrendous effort

Wayne Gretzky couldn't pronounce one country name properly. His lack of formal education was glaring.

I would have to see the diploma, or at least a photo-copy of it, to believe it, or for Paulina.

Re: FIFA TV Spectacular

The FIFA broadcast was anything but a “TV Spectacular”, I liken to it to a steaming pile of you know what. From the get go it was lame, Hart & Klum were fairly pathetic with no chemistry, the fixed draws by the three host leaders, the absolutely pathetic FIFA Peace (Piece?) award to the Trumpster fire and the fifth incarnation of the Village People performing YMCA, (I don’t think Trump quite gets the meaning of that song) made for a total tasteless waste of two hours that I’ll never get back. And to top it off, Gretzky only embarrassed himself, (but not Canada since we’ve disowned him), now go golf with your best blockhead buddy Wayne. And believe it or not, I’m in a good mood this morning!
