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.

Mathieu Choinière says he was at the match last time CanMNT were in Montréal back in 2017.

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.

Maxime Crépeau back at his best for Canada ahead of World Cup In a 1-on-1 interview, Crépeau discusses his battle with fellow goalkeeper Dayne St. Clair to be Canada's starter at the 2026 World Cup.

In this one-on-one interview with TFC Republic, Crépeau discusses his battle with St. Clair to become Canada's starter next summer on home soil, coming back from a broken leg that ruled him out of the 2022 World Cup, and much more.

Sean Rea prepares for first playoff experience with Wanderers, with an eye on a higher level Sean Rea prepares for first playoff experience with Wanderers, with an eye on a higher level

New: Sean Rea is playing his best football in a @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social shirt. Yet it still feels like his full potential hasn't been realized. On the eve of the playoffs, and with his contract running out, can he reach the next level for Halifax?

After opening his Serie A account, can Ismaël Koné finally find consistency for club and country? After opening his Serie A account, can Ismaël Koné finally find consistency for club and country?

Ismaël Koné’s first goal for U.S. Sassuolo was a thing of beauty. But can the midfielder, who possesses so much talent, find the consistency his club and @canadasocceren.bsky.social hope from him?

PREVIEW: Halifax Wanderers vs. York United FC | CPL Match #101

There's been a rivalry forming between @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social and York United going back to the off-season as Riley Ferrazzo and Massimo Ferrin traded their blue kits for green. Tomorrow, they'll battle for a chance to host a home playoff match.

My preview for canpl.ca.

As per @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social head coach Patrice Gheisar, Reshaun Walkes is injured and likely to miss tomorrow's match versus York United. Although not named specifically, it sounds like Tiago Coimbra and a few others are matchday decisions. Jason Bahamboula, of course, is out for the season.

Clinical finishing propels Atlético Ottawa to 3-0 victory over Cavalry FC | MATCH ANALYSIS

New: Ballou Tabla was a difference maker as he scored a brace to propel Atlético Ottawa past Cavalry.

"I think that Ballou deserved this kind of performance. He's an amazing player, an amazing, amazing player for me and a player that needs to play at another level," Diego Mejía’s said post-match.

HIGHLIGHTS: Atlético Ottawa 3-0 Cavalry FC | 2025 Match #97

It was a statement win by Atlético Ottawa over Cavalry, propelled by goals from Sam Salter and Ballou Tabla. Initial match recap below 👇

What a steal from Sam Salter to strip Laing and then dribble by Carducci to put ATO up 1-0. His 18th of the season.

Lots of rotation as players like Vallerand, Frémaux, Miller and Allen are on the bench to start.

Thanks, Matt! Hope to see ya soon

Appreciated, Mike

And on the club's road form:

“My target is to say, if our ambition is to reach the finals, we’re going to play the finals on the road. We need to start showing that we can win on the road.”

I missed @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social head coach Patrice Gheisar's pre-match call yesterday but he pulled no punches discussing his expectations.

“I think last time we played Vancouver, we underestimated ‘em. We ended up losing at home,” he said. “We've got to get this. It's important."

Thanks!

Joaquim Coulanges, who did so well against Forge last week, is out with injury for Atlético Ottawa's match versus Cavalry FC. Kévin dos Santos slots into his spot.

Shamit Shome draws in for Sergio Camargo. #CanPL
