🆕 FC Supra has been the talk of the #CanPL season. Their 100% Québécois policy made headlines, and now they’re in the thick of a Cup semifinal. So I went behind-the-scenes at Supra HQ to see how the club ticks. ✍️ feature for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/08/31/b...

Crazy day for new Atletico Ottawa coach Gustavo Leal, who arrived in Canada hours before taking the touchline in a 1-1 draw. Told media he had been watching from afar, but it was "a really hard situation" in recent weeks, not being able to be with the team. #CanPL
🚨 From Forge FC/CPL: Forge vs Pacific match delayed to 8 PM ET due to wildfire smoke. The CPL consulted medical experts to make the decision, and will be updating throughout the night. #CanPL
Taking nothing away from Spain, France have been poor so far…

🆕 You guys ready to do a #CanMNT World Cup again? 4 years is a long time, but it comes quickly. So I’ve predicted the starting XI for 2030. Lots of carryovers - Koné, LDF, Bombito - but I think there’ll be some change. ✍️ for @wakingthered.bsky.social wakingthered.com/2026/07/08/2...

Beautiful letter from Ismaël Koné in The Players’ Tribune. “They were carrying me off — and it must have been magic. Because all the quiet in BC Place, suddenly it became warmth. And I swear it’s like for two full weeks that warmth has been carrying me.” www.theplayerstribune.com/ismael-kone-...

'The thing I couldn’t stop thinking about, it’s how disappointed I was not to get to help our team on the field anymore, while we’re on this mission together.'

Lots of Atletico Ottawa news today: -GK Garissone Innocent has mutually terminated his contract amidst personal matters keeping him out of team since May 5 -Santiago Lopez loan has expired -Former HFX defender Julian Dunn has signed through 26 + option for 27 #CanPL
#CANMNT TAKEAWAYS It was a complicated, emotionally turbulent night in Vancouver. But Jonathan David’s rebirth as a true No. 9 and Canada’s composed brilliance in wake of a tragedy ensured a euphoric feeling at BC Place. ✍️ for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/06/19/3...

This is that scene where the guy waves the sword around and then Indiana Jones pulls out a gun
Qatar GK Abunada on a ridiculous run of saves. Reckless challenge led to the Embolo pen but he is tremendously tough to beat, keeping 🇶🇦 alive v 🇨🇭 🇶🇦 backline not offering much space for Swiss to go direct to goal. Very compact in the box. Could be trouble for #CanMNT
#CANMNT TAKEAWAYS A draw against 🇧🇦 could’ve been more, but Larin heroically, theatrically, made up for J David and Olywaseyi’s misses. Meanwhile, Eustáquio and Koné set a brilliant tone. ✍️ for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/06/13/3...

Have to commend Jesse Marsch's management of the bench today. Larin, Promise, and Ahmed all turned the tide in #CanMNT's favour Marsch was clear that he wanted more from starters, but the self-belief from all in the second was the desired mentality canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/06/13/j...

Not a great half from Inter Toronto. Backline is really suffering without Leon, Forge has too much space to go straight at the goal. Forge's fluidity also feels a lot cleaner. Attack isn't generating much either, Badibanga looks solid though. 2-0 Forge at HT. #CanPL
MARKO JEVREMOVIC WITH A SCREAMER OFF THE FK 905 Derby opens with a bang as the Forge fullback drops a bomb on Inter Toronto. Pace, movement, accuracy, what a shot. Diego Urtiaga did well, but nobody was stopping that rocket. #CanPL
📍 York Lions Stadium for a massive 905 Derby Day! Inter Toronto looking to course-correct and recover form against Forge, aiming to go clear at the top. Big crowd expected for this one! #CanPL
It’s a huge #CanPL derby day between Inter Toronto and Forge! 🦝 Béni Badibanga gets a start to round out the attack, great seeing Kembo Kibato fully recovered in the XI ⚒️ Max Filion starts over Brian Wright again K/o at 2!
#CanMNT’s match against Ireland was there for the taking. But a lack of lethal finishes left Canada short. Jesse Marsch wasn’t going to be negative after, but he acknowledged that 🇨🇦 has to be cleaner in the final third. ✍️ for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/06/06/j...

#CanMNT summoned an interesting performance in Montréal: high-energy quality first half before puttering out in the second. A few big offensive chances missed, but Max Crépeau conjured an all-time performance. Onto the World Cup! MORE: canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/06/06/c...

MAXIME CREPEAU, THAT IS A WORLD CUP LEVEL PLAY He denies Troy Parrott from point-blank range with the gloves. Another outstanding stop on the day. #CanMNT
Phenomenal reading on a good pen by Crepeau, unfortunately not much you can do about Ogbene's follow-up Wasn't a good challenge by Larin, and Ireland punish - next 30 minutes will show character #CanMNT
Loved that half from #CanMNT. Silky passing sequences, confident, sharp, everybody very assured in their role. Winning the ball back extremely efficiently. Eustaquio, Kone, AJ all brilliant Can't even fault the finishes. Buchanan, Millar, and David all knocking at the door.
That MTL crowd... wow man. Need to get out there to cover a Canada match sometime soon.
Considering Marsch will probably play around a lot with the XI, not mad at just the one change. LDF was mad impressive on Monday so great to see him given another hour of leeway to prove his worth. #CanMNT
Canucks Abroad@abroad.canucks-abroad.ca · 5mo ago🇨🇦 Jesse Marsch opts for a single, lone change as the #CanMNT run down to their final pre-World Cup friendly tonight against Ireland. In many ways, this XI could very well be close to, if not how, Les Rouges line up on June 12.
🇨🇦🚨 JESSE MARSCH IS STAYING WITH #CANMNT Canada Soccer has extended his contract through the 2030 World Cup. Arguably one of the most transformative figures in the men’s program sticking around is needed assured stability. So happy for Marsch, he truly loves Canada!
Inter vs Halifax right now is the epitome of #CanPL bangers only. Julian Altobelli and Isaiah Johnston traded absolute SCREAMERS to have this game at 1-1
#CanPL will be silent for days, and then BAM two head coaches leave from 6:00-7:30 PM on a Thursday
