Truly atrocious piece, too. Screencapping so you don't have to give them the traffic.

Literally just an emotionless, robotic summary of the game sheet, with a note telling us that they couldn't even bother getting an editor to skim it

The race to the bottom is such garbage

How Nathan Ingham and Atlético Ottawa’s core set new standards for the club

Huge match for Atlético Ottawa today as they continue their chase for the CPL Shield. The kids, and the club’s new attacking philosophy, have breathed new life into long-time goalkeeper Nathan Ingham, who continues to develop as a leader.

Promise, and frustration too, following CanMNT’s loss to Australia Promise, and frustration too, following CanMNT’s loss to Australia

New: Oh, yes, there were moments of promise for the @canmntofficial.bsky.social in Montréal.

The evening, however, ended in disappointment as Canada ran out of ideas against a low block. Given their real test is less than 10 months away, the time is now for them to figure out their challenges.

I feel like the biggest thing is more is expected of them now. That, and the club having never won anything taking its toll.

Lorenzo Callegari left in the match by the good graces of referee Ben Hoskins. Valour still trail by one.

Between the look off and trails, it’s really a spectacular visit. One of my favourite stops while in the city.

Only a few hours until kickoff and Koné’s return to Montreal with @canmntofficial.bsky.social. Will he take a step towards finding the consistency his coaches — be it with Canada or Sassuolo — crave? Have a read below 👇

Jesse Marsch, CanMNT revisit history in Montréal as they build toward World Cup Jesse Marsch, CanMNT revisit history in Montréal as they build toward World Cup

New: Montréal is a city that remembers. It's fitting, following Alphonso Davies' CanMNT debut at Stade Saputo in 2017, that @canmntofficial.bsky.social should return to the city ahead of the most important tournament in program history. But time is fickle.

CanMNT head coach Jesse Marsch confirms during a press conference with media that goalkeeper Maxime Crépeau and Ismaël Koné will start tomorrow. Huge match for many Québec-born players as they'll be playing in front of friends and family.
