5 h. ago Canada could play against Italy in Toronto at FIFA World Cup

It turns out that Canada does not yet know its FIFA World Cup opponent for their first-ever match on home soil.But on June 12, 2026, Canada has a shot at taking on one of the most successful soccer countries of all time.Canada knows it will play Qatar and Switzerland in its final two group-stage matches at the 2026 FIFA World Cup, with both games taking place in Vancouver.In Toronto, though, they await one of four opponents for their opening match of the tournament: Italy, Northern Ireland, Wales or Bosnia and Herzegovina.And while they've missed out on the last two World Cups, it seems hard to say the Italian side is anything other than the team Canada would least like to see coming out of the final round of European qualifying.Italy is ranked 12th in the FIFA World Rankings, and is a four-time winner of the FIFA World Cup, one of only three countries to win at least that many times. Wales is ranked 32nd, Northern Ireland is ranked 69th, while Bosnia and Herzegovina are ranked ...

8 h. ago Dodgers star gets booed out of Toronto kids hospital in hilarious new commercial

Toronto Blue Jays fans don't appear to have forgiven the Los Angeles Dodgers just yet – even if it's for a good cause.The Dodgers, as you surely know by now, broke just about all of Canada's collective hearts last month when they topped the Blue Jays in an epic seven-game World Series.And one of the heroes for the Dodgers in that series was Freddie Freeman, hitting a walk-off home run in the bottom of the 18th inning of a long Game 3.Given that Freeman represents Canada internationally in baseball due to his Canadian parents' roots, he'd usually be a natural pick for many Canadian commercials.But in a recent holiday spot for SickKids hospital (alongside none other than Ryan Reynolds), Freeman didn't exactly get the warmest of receptions.Rub some dirt on it @FreddieFreeman5! And thank you for being such a good sport supporting @sickkids. Everyone who can, please donate before December 24th and all donations will be matched up to $1,000,000. pic.twitter.c...
