Hello fellow Torontonians!

Looking to buy a watch, but I have a dilemma about whether it will fit in my hand properly, so I want to try a couple of watches, see which mm looks better on my hand.

So the question is: Any good places in Toronto to do some fitting test?

TIA

Manchester United fans have accused the club of giving fans a "kick in the teeth" after announcing matchday ticket prices could reach £97.

The most expensive matchday tickets at Old Trafford last season were £66. There are four categories, with the lowest reserved exclusively for "some" cup games.

It means the lowest priced ticket for a Premier League game is £37, for the two category C matches against Sunderland and Wolves. That figure rises to £97 for the highest priced tickets in category A, which involves games against Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, Manchester City, Newcastle and Tottenham.

Club officials argue the £97 applies to less than 1% of the available tickets.

"When the club said they were introducing this new model, we urged them to keep the majority of matches at current levels and only apply the highest price category for a small number of the biggest games and reduce prices for lower demand games.

"Once again, they have failed to consult any of the fans' representative bodies on the details of the decision and once again they're making choices against the interests of fans and, we believe, the club as a whole.

And in a wide-ranging interview with United We Stand published on Wednesday, United chief executive Omar Berrada said the rollout of the £66 decision, which was subsequently reversed, was "not good".

FSG already own various sports franchises in the USA, including the Boston Red Sox, Pittsburgh Penguins and RFK Racing in Nascar, but will look to purchase another football club soon. Already FSG have looked at investing in Real Valladolid, Elche, Levante, Espanyol and Girondins de Bordeaux in France.

They have already looked to invest in Malaga, which was their original choice to buy a club in Spain. That effort failed though, after Qatar Sports Investment won the race to invest in Malaga. QSI are also the majority shareholders in Paris Saint-Germain.

Now according to Marca, Getafe are the preferred choice for the Liverpool owners. They have already carried out viability studies, and the fact that Getafe are an established club in La Liga, with facilities being renovated in the capital Madrid, and have a record of developing and selling players, are the key reasons for their attraction to Los Azulones.

Aryna Sabalenka said she apologized to Coco Gauff for making "unprofessional" comments following her loss in the French Open final at Roland Garros earlier this month. The world No. 1 suggested after the match that her 6-7 (5), 6-2, 6-4 defeat was more about her own mistakes than Gauff's play.

"That was just completely unprofessional of me," Sabalenka said at Eurosport Germany. "I let my emotions get the better of me. I absolutely regret what I said back then. You know, we all make mistakes. I'm just a human being who's still learning in life. I think we all have those days when we lose control. But what I also want to say is that I wrote to Coco afterward -- not immediately, but recently."

"I never intended to attack her," Sabalenka said. "I was super emotional and not very smart at that press conference. I'm not necessarily grateful for what I did. It took me a while to go back and think about it, to approach it with open eyes, and to understand. I realized a lot about myself. Why did I lose so many finals?"

Sabalenka admitted the moment got the better of her -- both in terms of her performance on court and her composure afterward. She had 70 unforced errors compared to just 30 from Gauff.

British No. 1 Emma Raducanu and Wimbledon champion Carlos Alcaraz will team up for the new-look US Open mixed doubles event in August, hoping to secure the $1 million prize on offer.

Former US Open winner Naomi Osaka will team up with Nick Kyrgios, while Britain's Jack Draper will play alongside Chinese world No. 4 Zheng Qinwen. Superstars Novak Djokovic - due to play with compatriot Olga Danilovic - and Jannik Sinner, paired with American Emma Navarro, are also on the list, with this new schedule effectively seeing the tournament become a three-week event.
World No. 1 Aryna Sabalenka will partner Grigor Dimitrov, while five-time major winner Iga Swiatek will play alongside Casper Ruud.

United States Tennis Association CEO and executive director Lew Sherr said: "Seeing the teams that have already put their names on the entry list makes us all incredibly excited.

Italian pair Sara Errani and Andrea Vavassori, winners of last year's US Open mixed doubles title, initially described the decision as a "profound injustice". But they are on the entry list for the event.

The 42-year-old was suspended in November 2024 after the clip showed him making derogatory comments about the German and Liverpool.

Coote was sacked a month later by the Premier League referees' body Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) following a "thorough investigation" into his conduct.

The FA has now charged Coote in relation to rule E3.1, which alleges he acted in an improper manner and/or used abusive and/or insulting words.

It says reference to Klopp's nationality in the video constituted an "aggravated" breach.

However, Coote has been cleared of any gambling misconduct following claims that the referee had discussed issuing a yellow card to a player prior to a match.

Coote, from Nottinghamshire, had denied the gambling misconduct claims, saying the allegation was "false and defamatory".

To save you a double click, here is most important parts IMO.

Boca Juniors' first match at the new-look Club World Cup was as entertaining as it gets, with the Argentine club's fans making the most of their time in South Florida on Tuesday for the team's 2-2 draw with Benfica.

Boca Juniors fans are expected to have made up the bulk of the 55,000 that filled Miami Gardens' Hard Rock Stadium on Tuesday, though that was not the only place they were spotted in large numbers. They were spotted on local beaches and at other nearby attractions during the day, while a group of supporters essentially took over an area Walmart and were in full voice.

One fan even told Spanish-language media that he sold his car to join fellow Boca fans in the Miami area, where the team will be based for a few more days. They return to play on Friday at Hard Rock Stadium against Germany's Bayern Munich in one of the more anticipated matches of the second round of group play.

The early days of the Club World Cup have been ones defined by contrasts, not only in the level of play between opponents but also in crowd size. While some matches, like Chelsea's 2-0 win over LAFC on Monday in Atlanta, will be remembered for their low attendance figures, fans of several teams are showing up in large numbers.

Fans of Brazil's Palmeiras and Tunisia's Esperance de Tunis, for example, took over New York's Times Square ahead of their teams' matches on Sunday and Monday, respectively. Supporters of Egypt's Al Ahly, meanwhile, made up the majority of the crowd in the Club World Cup opener on Saturday against Inter Miami despite the match taking place at Hard Rock Stadium.

Peel police say they have dismantled a violent criminal organization that attempted to extort hundreds of thousands of dollars from members of the community and defraud insurance companies by staging collisions across GTA roadways.

According to investigators, 18 people have been arrested and are facing a total of nearly 100 charges in the probe, which was launched in July 2024.

“They start at the planning stage. These are collisions that are often happening on our roadways, which obviously have a public safety impact, sometimes including police, ambulance and fire attending the scene,” he said.

“They continue the fraud all the way through the reporting and through the insurance industry to reap the material benefits of the fraud.”

An estimated $4.2 million worth of assets were seized as part of the probe, including 18 tow trucks, police noted. The trucks, Lorette said, were “some of the tools” used ”to commit their offences.”

The seizures occurred during the execution of 67 search warrants in Peel Region, Caledon, York Region, and Toronto on June 10, Lorette added. The investigation was conducted with the assistance of other GTA police forces, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).

“This investigation is still ongoing and we anticipate further arrests and charges,” Lorette said.
