The Detroit Tigers were basically the best team in baseball all season.

The Blue Jays making em look like a Double-A team.

From a Cole Palmer brace, Luis Enrique punching JoΓ£o Pedro, to President Trump putting himself in the middle of the show, the FIFA Club World Cup final had everything.

Blessed to have been a part of it.

My 2-year-old son now speaks English better than I speak Portuguese.

What an agonizing game to watch if you’re a New York Knicks fan. Pacers playing like the 90s Bulls & Curry/Klay Warriors πŸ™„

Just unstoppable.

Oilers need another insurance goal here so I can tap out. I do appreciate the Knicks for being courteous to my early wake requirement.

It had to be Auston Matthews tonight to open the faucet.

His first goal in 50 shots against the Panthers.

Now the Leafs gotta keep it going and cannot let up.

The Whitecaps handled Inter Miami, but is the entire Messi project wasting its potential on growing MLS and soccer?

Absolutely iconic song. It was the soundtrack to basketball when I was growing up. Pretty amazing that my son will hear the same tune as he falls in love with the game

Truly cannot explain it but Crystal Palace have Aston Villa’s number. Don’t know why, but it’s like they make #AVFC change the way they play.

Credit to #CPFC. The better team today, by miles. #FACup

The Leafs playing with a β€œnot f***ing around” attitude tonight.

We’ll see how long that lasts. But exactly what they need.

Are we getting a Jets-Leafs Stanley Cup final this year?

Every team just hoping they get Winnipeg on a bad day. Jets don’t seem to have any

I only had a handful of exchanges with Greg in my time at SN but they were all fantastic and matched all the descriptions you’ve heard from others tonight.

Watched him for years and always loved what he brought to the broadcast. Thinking of his family and friends.

This start just keeps getting better! 2 goals in 2 minutes! You wouldn't think that #AVFC have their eye on a Champions League quarter-final AND a FA Cup semi, would ya!

GET IN!

Jesse Marsch STOOD UP for the #CanMNT against the #USMNT, and it might have just motivated the Canadians.

We outside. Literally.

Hoping that the #CanMNT took all they could this week from training at the stadium where πŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦ triumphed in 2000 to win the Gold Cup.

SoFi Stadium will be a completely different beast tonight. Full coverage from me in LA on @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social
