A bit of personal news from me - I'm very excited to announce that, starting February, I will be taking on a new role this year and will be joining Dome Productions as executive producer for the inaugural @NorthernSuperLg season! (1/3)
Not enough Canadians are talking about this.
The Canadian women are on an incredible run. They’ve outscored opponents 227-50 in the tournament. They just defeated the defending world champions. And they’ll play in the final next Saturday.
I'll just take this time to remind everyone that Canada's women's team has a World Cup in 7 months. They're the reigning Olympic gold medallists and are currently ranked 7th in the world.
I was once again a voter for the women’s Ballon d’Or, and for the 2nd year in a row, my top pick didn’t win. It’s becoming an… interesting experience.
FWIW - my top 3:
1. Caldentey
2. Russo
3. Putellas
I'm going to get ahead of this now - Ronaldo is the first *male* player to score in 5 different World Cups.
Christine Sinclair & Marta have already done it.
Just when you think this can’t get any worse. According to the report:
- Rubiales pleading with Hermoso to appear in his “apology” video - she refused
- Vilda approaching JH’s family THREE times to convince them
- JH’s statement downplaying the incident came from RFEF and not JH
#NoticiaRelevo ‼️ Rubiales le rogó a Jenni Hermoso que aparecieran juntos en el vídeo de las disculpas.
📌 Vilda también intentó mediar con los familiares de la jugadora.
❌ Ella se negó.

I just found out that the upcoming Rugby World Cup dropped “Women’s” from its title, and that all Rugby World Cups would be differentiated by their year and not by gender.
It sure would be great if FIFA followed suit.
Christine Sinclair has released a statement. She states that in her 23 years with the national team, players were never shown or discussed drone footage.
I couldn’t find Quinn’s original comment and thought they may have deleted it, but that turns out not to be the case. This is really something the league can’t ignore.
On SportsCentre now - Janine Beckie & Christine Sinclair tell Rick Westhead that the team will not take part in any team activities until this is resolved, which includes participation in the SheBelieves Cup. #CanWNT#CanXNT
