Here's a fun fact for the "US doesn't need anything from Canada" crowd. New data this morning from Statistics Canada: "In May, exports of electricity to the United States rose 70.4% year over year to 4.6 million MWh, the highest level since January 2025"
I’ve had higher-scoring moves in Crossplay, but never one that made me as happy as this
UEFA countries have won 13 of the 23 World Cups. Europe has the best club competition and leagues — by far. Objectively, UEFA does not need FIFA.
