Later tonight streaming on Crave. We are live at 12 noon, three hours before kickoff. Live at the Canada Soccer House, Harborfront Center downtown.
Brilliant, Doogie.
Brilliant. Brilliant toss by Doogie. Brilliant header by yourself. Yes. And we are match day ready. Brian Hayes, the O-Dog, Jeff O'Neill, Jamie Noodles, McLennan. Full steam ahead to 3 p.m. We cannot wait for this match. We've been downtown for hours. There is an incredible vibe down here, and there's a lot of patriotism, a lot of great Canadians down here rooting for their squad. We cannot wait.
I want to personally thank the person that set up this area. I'm very excited for YouTube to be in the shade with fans blowing underneath. And I am basically suntanning on the beach, and my back is dying per every second that this show goes on.
That's what I was going to say when you said full steam ahead. I'm like, that is full steam ahead.
Dude, you might be tarps off within the hour.
I'll do it. I don't care. I don't care. This bit is scorching. This black leather seat. You want to talk about Bob Weeks' chair going in the Butler cabin? This one's going in the... Find out where the Soccer Hall of Fame is.
The Soccer House. That chair will go right in. Right to Toronto Stadium.

Chapter 2: What are the expectations for Canada's performance against Bosnia?
That's right. Instead of the Olympic torch, it's going to be your chair.
Carries out his chair with a flame hanging out of it.
I think that'll be inspiring for the starting 11 and the whole cast of characters here. But we're really excited to be here. We cannot thank everyone enough down here at Canada Soccer House. They're expecting 6,000-plus people down here. We've been downtown since last night. I came down last night. And what I was...
somewhat, I can't say I was surprised by, but I saw a lot of Bosnian kits, a lot of Bosnian supporters, a lot of flags. You think they're going to cause problems in the building? I think there's a lot of Bosnian fans and supporters that are in Toronto.
Dude, there should be, man. Of course, it's the World Cup.
Everyone's going to travel. There were a lot of Canadians that were in Qatar four years ago, but I'm very curious what it's going to look like because naturally a lot of Canadians and a lot of people in the greater Toronto area, they're not staying in the hotels. They're going to take the GO train down or cabs down or TTC or whatever. But there's a lot of Canadian support here.
I know there's going to be a ton of Canadian support once they get to Toronto Stadium. But we'll see what the vibe is going to be like in a few hours.
There are people enjoying themselves. Like, I got down to the hotel a little late after the game last night. And there was a guy, as I was walking into the hotel, security had a guy in the chicken wing and was walking. walking him out. And as he was walking out, he kicked a garbage can over in front of me. Oh, yeah. And they were like, get out of here. And he had a bottle.
But the guy was enjoying himself.

Chapter 3: How significant are the injuries to key players for Team Canada?
And I think the amount of buzz that are going to be around the stadium will be incredible. But I think just people all over the city. Again, I referenced the amount of Bosnian fans and supporters. A lot of Canadian fans. I saw some Yankee fans kicking around.
How about the city of Toronto enjoying a sports day?
If you ever wanted to pick a weekend to check out the city and experience a bunch of different things... I don't know if you could even afford to get to all the venues and do it all, but just what a great weekend to experience Toronto. If you could catch a Yankees game, watch this one on TV, that would be the play if you couldn't get into the football match.
Watch it on TV and then head over to the Yankees game. I guarantee you there is... Hundreds of people doing both. I think so, too. Hundreds of people because first pitch tonight is 737. The match obviously kicks off at 3. That'll be done by 5, 530. And, of course, you can watch it on TSN, CTV, Crave. You can listen to it on the TSN radio network.
So that's going to take, you know, the forefront at 3 o'clock. But if you're leaving Toronto Stadium at 5.30, 6 o'clock, you've got an hour and a half to get to the Dome.
You go right to the Dome. You have a hot dog out front there. You go in through security. Now, security is probably going to be tight, but that's fine. As you would expect. As you would expect. But this is an opportunity for a great sports day in the city of Toronto, you know.
Throw in the Argos had their season debut in Montreal tonight. So if you're couching this evening, you're flipping between the Jays game, the Argos game tonight. Our boy Brooks Koepka is hunting the leaderboard up at Osprey Valley.
Little chat about the putter, and look what happened to Brooksie. It's your vibe.
I think you're right about that.

Chapter 4: What strategies will Canada employ against Bosnia's playing style?
We've got a heart trophy to talk about. He's on cloud nine over there. I'm just saying, but Ryan Fox is eight under. That's the past winner. That's the previous champion. Brooks Koepka, eight under. He's on 17 right now. Do you know who's on 12T as we speak who's also eight under? Zahid DeGala.
How Tong Lee.
Yes! How Tong is 8-under and chugging on Friday up at the RBC Canadian Open. So, How Tong's in the hunt. Brooks Koepka's in the hunt. Mr. Anderson, Matt Anderson, good Canadian boy. He's 6-under. He's still out there hunting. Sahif is playing well. Lowry's out there. Bob McIntyre. It's going to be a great weekend up at the RBC Canadian Open. Great weekend.
afternoon downtown here with uh obviously canada taking on bosnia in just a couple of hours but um that hockey game last night like i came downtown yeah checked into the the hotel went right across the street to a restaurant i pulled your move i have never done this before by yourself sitting at the bar at the bar by myself ordered a steak and sat there and just had a great time watching the game welcome to heaven do you not love it now
it was a phenomenal experience i can't lie to you welcome to heaven the difference is did you spark up conversation and send over because you're very polite and you're very generous but all of a sudden conversation with people over there that are not paying attention to you and you go how you doing over there can i put that on the channel and i'll buy your dinner i do
You didn't break any ice. That was a special occasion. That just wasn't a Joe Blow. That was Teddy Bruschi. Yeah, that's a Super Bowl winner, Teddy Bruschi.
Yeah, but you yelled Teddy when you called him like Teddy. Teddy, can we change the TV? Hey, Theodore, you mind if we throw the golf one?
Yeah, and he was cool. He was very cool. Fine. You know, next year when we're at the Super Bowl, I think we're going to be in L.A. We'll see if we can rendezvous with Teddy. He kind of owes us dinner. He owes us something, right, at a minimum. But, yeah, I pulled your move and just nestled up. A couple of stopping chats. There were some fans in the house that wanted to talk about the game.
What did you make of it? I thought Carolina looked a lot more like Montreal, Philly, Ottawa last night. They looked more like that series last night.

Chapter 5: What is Jason DeVos's perspective on Canada's World Cup journey?
If they can eliminate the nonsense and get back to Carolina hockey. And did you guys not just get the sense, just a little bit, that Vegas could possibly be just running out of steam a little bit.
They didn't look sharp. No. The one thing I kind of earmarked last night, they weren't making passes. No. Their passes were off. It was all hell.
It's getting windy down here.
A little windy down here.
It's all good. We like a wind. That's actually your best friend.
That's going to cool you off. He's back with a wind blow. Their passes were off to me. They just weren't crisp. And Carolina squeezed that. I thought they were a lot better in the neutral zone. Their D were trying to move the puck through it. They weren't having it. I just thought Carolina was the better team.
That's what I saw. Let's cut to the chase. We talked about this before we came on air. And the idea, and I know Torch kind of brushed it off last night and said it was a crazy idea. You're not going to win this thing and come back if you're giving up four a night. And if you're going to put this in, you're almost conceding.
You're saying, guys, you have to get five because he's giving up four a night. Five games in a row. Literally every game. It's not going to happen. Carolina will not. They're not going to do that, man.
They're not playing that game. I think Torch, correct me if I'm wrong. They probably talked about it and thought about it, but he was... In the event he comes back with Hart, he's not going to go, we're thinking about it. He went at the reporter hard, unnecessarily.

Chapter 6: How does the Canadian fan base feel about the World Cup match?
Switching lineups, switching lines, goaltender, all of that type of stuff. Because if they lose in Vegas, they're done.
That's it. They've got to do something. The Cup's in the building. William Carlson's done. He had been playing well. He's out of the lineup. So there is going to be a mandatory adjustment on that front. That puts more emphasis on Eichel, who isn't even close to scoring. Like Aiko, I don't find his... He had a couple apples last night. He had a beautiful assist on the power play goal.
But in terms of scoring goals, he literally doesn't score goals.
So, Brian, yesterday we talked about on both sides. I said the game before, didn't hear Ajo's name three, four times.
Yep.
Scoresheet. Svechnikov. You know, they're big boys.
They showed up last night.
Woke up last night and got going. And that takes the pressure off the Stankovans and Halls and all of that.
Big time.

Chapter 7: What challenges does Canada face in their World Cup opener?
Now, he doesn't have a center anymore. Carlson's hurt. But I didn't love Marner's game last night.
But there is a counter to that. Because when Marner was doing his thing, and almost single-handedly, like the game in Vegas, winning... winning the game for his team. Right. He deserves someone else stepping up. I'm pretty sure somebody around the hockey world was saying, man, Jack Eichel stunk tonight. Yeah. You know what I mean? But Mitch Varner carried the mail.
So where is the guy, whether it be Jack Eichel or somebody else, Dora Fae, I've had a couple goals, but somebody else to step up and say, don't worry, Mitch, I got this one. And then we're not going to talk about it.
That is 100% valid. And 100% true. And I am talking about his individual game because he's deserved the platform and the spotlight. But you're right. He's probably looking at his own teammates saying, hey, Carter, maybe a big night tonight. Yeah. Don't be afraid to steal the show. Exactly. Steal us a game.
Someone else show up. You know, you need Mark Stone didn't have a great night. Like a lot of those guys I didn't think had their goods. But you're right, it can't just be the Mitch Marner show every night. That's what Vegas has basically, the reason why they got to the finals is their depth. They could go 1, 2, 3 and be really good. We haven't seen it.
Now Carolina deserves a lot of credit on that. A lot of credit.
I like their game, and it's interesting. You look at the fan duel odds for the cons. Mike, Jordan Stahl all of a sudden a favorite.
I was going to bring up Freddie the Goats guy.
He scores every game. He's been Jordan Stahl.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of a win or loss for Canada in this match?
It's a beast.
Tort said it. Tort said it. We can't stop this guy in front of the net. We cannot handle him. He's a massive problem.
They don't have an answer for him. And he finds a goal. I thought Vegas had a really good start yesterday. That was the first time I saw a team out shooting Carolina early on. I thought they had a good start. They get the goal and I'm like, okay, maybe Carolina is a little tight. Jordan Stahl pulls it out of them.
Right when he scored, everything changed.
And the game took over, and it was literally Carolina that was the better team the rest of the night.
I think the cons might, again, we're down to one or two games. I think it's warranted if Carolina wins, Stahl should get it. If Vegas wins, Marner should get it. I think those are the two safe bets right now.
But a week ago, it was Marner. It felt like Marner on both sides.
Mike Johnson on this program said he's getting it no matter what.
I did not agree with that. You didn't? I love how you don't agree. No, I did not. I did not agree with that at the time. I've said this multiple times. This has not been the equivalent of what McDavid did two years ago. Right. It's not the equivalent.
