the mad sports man

 That was a heck of a tournament. Canada had a few firsts. First draw, first win, first time in the knockout round, first win in knockout round. Prior to the tournament, nobody heard of Cape Verde. After tying Spain and giving Argentina a handful in the round of 32, everyone was looking up where Cape Verde was. Norway knocking out Brazil. Spain giving up one goal the whole tournament and never trailed. The finish to the third place game was insane. This was a tournament to remember. Until 2030 (in Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Argentina, Paraguay and Uruguay. The 100th birthday of the world cup), cheers. There's the 2027 womens world cup in Brazil.

 This went to extra time. Spain got the only goal of the game to claim their second world cup. Spain also won 1-0 in extra time in 2010 against Netherlands. Argentina lost 1-0 to Germany in 2014 in extra time. Congratulations Spain.

 This ended up quite a finish. England was up 4-0 at half time, and hung on to beat France 6-4. Wow. England takes 3rd, France finishes 4th. Tomorrow, the finale. 1pm Prince Albert time 

 Argentina scored two late goals to beat England 2-1 to play Spain in the championship game on Sunday at 1pm. England will play France on Saturday at 3pm for third place.

 Spain beat France 2-0 to go to the championship game on Sunday. France will play for third place on Saturday. Both games begin at 1pm

 It's gotten stormy the last couple of nights. Last night was really stormy. Had a tornado warning (red level), hail, even a power outage. Some of Alberta got it too. Quite happy I was indoors. Summer fun haha.

 This went into extra time. Argentina scored two in extra time to beat Switzerland 3-1 and will face England in the semis on Wednesday. I think this is the first time an all champions final four has happened. NOTE: it's the third time it's happened.

 This went to extra time and England got the goal to win over Norway 2-1. They will face either Argentina or Switzerland in the semi final game on Wednesday. Argentina vs Switzerland is next tonight.

The world cup ends in 8 days. But don't fret. The summer is not over.  From July 23 - August 2, the Commonwealth Games in Glasgow, Scotland will be happening.  The break in between may be needed.
