could line up some better friendlies than these smaller nations. Sick of playing low level teams who can’t even make it out of the group stage at Copa America. Maybe someone bigger then USA like Panama would be a better test

I’m massively impressed in Marsch so far. In the 3 days since Canada was eliminated, he flew to Canada, went to Hamilton to watch a forge game, met with Voyageurs supporters, did an interview and is now in Montreal.
Very impressive stuff

People like Rick westhead or

are like vultures. They were never anywhere to be found when the bricks were being laid, when the program was irrelevant they had nothing to say.
Then finally the work pays off, relevancy achieved and they’re waiting to tear it all down
I always find these posts weird because imo, seeing such a diverse group of people standing proud and belting out the national anthem should fill you with pride. Seeing these guys unified and wearing the flag and talking about their love for Canada fires me up
#CanMNT
A CHANCE FOR HISTORY!
Should Canada pull off the monumental upset vs Argentina, they would become just the 2nd concacaf team to reach the Copa America final. Joining Mexico (1993, 2001), the

Who could it be?
Small detail that is really cool: June 6th is the anniversary of D Day when over 380 Canadians gave their lives to begin the campaign that eventually resulted in Canada liberating Netherlands. Ever since Canada and Netherlands have maintained close relations, really cool friendly
Toronto FC, where 🇨🇦 prospects go to DIE:
JMR traded
Jayden Nelson sold for just 1m $
Ralph Priso traded
Hugo Mbongue on loan
Jacob Shaffleberg , JRR & Liam Fraser all had to go somewhere else to shine
Okello, Dunn and Peruzza have all flopped as well

🚨🔵⚪️ EXCL: Olympique Marseille agree deal with Malmö to sign Derek Cornelius for 27 year old defender.
Understand fee will be over €4.3m, including add-ons.
Cornelius will be in Marseille this weekend to sign for OM. 🇨🇦
🚨🔴⚫️ EXCL: Moïse Bombito to OGC Nice from Colorado Rapids, here we go!
Deal in place after exclusive story on interest to replace Todibo.
€7m fee plus add-ons to Colorado Rapids for the CB.
Bombito will sign for Nice until 2028, four year contract — travelling this week.
The worst part about this game isn’t losing; Croatia is a world class team. It’s the reaction of the casuals, fairweather fans & dual nationals who are going to relentlessly crap on that team despite having 0 idea what they’re talking about. We need to back the boys today

Exciting times indeed
Here’s the reality: we are not the same team that ran concacaf for 12 months anymore. We have never been able to replicate that level. The quality and potential is clearly there but to pretend we are a top 20-40 nation in our current state is delusional.
#CanMNT
The two biggest winners tonight:
Kone and Bombito
Two young players who absolutely balled out against the best nation in the world. They have put themselves on the radar for big moves

I don’t know who needs to hear this but Portuguese speaking Portuguese-Canadian Stephen Eustaquio who grew up watching the Portuguese league with his Portuguese family, now married to a Portuguese woman isn’t going to leave Portugal, especially not for

#CanMNT
That game made me sick. USA gets 5 minutes of extra time when it shoudlve been 3 and then score in the 96th minute on a play that was clearly offside in the build up. All in their gazillionth straight tournament hosted at home. Frauds of the highest order
#usmmt
#nationsleague
As I’ve said before, I would be shocked by an Eustaquio move to mls. He’s lived in 🇵🇹 a good chunk of his life, his wife + her family lives there & I’m not sure how much family he has in Canada after the tragic passing of his family. Would be a massive downgrade too

Lionel Messi is reportedly "not satisfied" in Ligue 1 and has been "recommended" to Toronto FC.

One thing I picked up on in this interview and absolutely love is that Marsch said he was actually in the stadium for Nice vs Toulouse for Bombitos opener. Really cool that he went to France just to watch the kids big moment, my gaffer 🫡

Can’t overstate how massive a win this was. Just from a sporting perspective, beating the host team and number 2 in the world without a coach is such a massive result.
Add in the outside noise and it’s a legendary performance
This team will medal
#CanWNT
Hopefully the rumours about playing the

Eligible for Canada, Croatia and Bosnia
I would call him up asap, a guy scoring goals in the Dutch league is good enough for us… but also for Bosnia
#CanMNT
Morning after thought:
I really hope we roll the A team & go for the win Saturday. Medalling at Copa America would still be a massive achievement, only Mexico has done it before in concacaf. The loser of the other semi will be demoralized & we should take advantage of

So when the wild does it, it’s fine and Noble. But when my buddy eric does it, it’s “a crime” and he “can’t go within 500 metres of a school”. The hypocrisy 🙄🙄
I find it crazy how, without fail, Rick drops negative articles about Canada soccer just before camps or tournaments. It’s been going on since we qualified, when he started publishing articles on the labour disputes before every window
Never solutions, never positive

This guy went through the effort of liking every positive comments from fans on his ig post. These little things which may not seem significant but just show his passion for the club. The mismanagement of club legends like him and seba is baffling

fans may have expected the club to decline Víctor Vázquez’s contract option for 2024 before this disastrous season even ended.
But when the club did this week, it broke the hearts of many Toronto FC fans, and Vázquez himself.

Canada soccer in a nutshell
Keep in mind Jesse hates Gregg with a passion & is chomping at the teeth to prove to US Soccer they made a mistake not hiring him. He also knows American soccer landscape & national team better than most. If anything else, this hire gives us a better chance at beating USA soon
There’s a lot of smoke around Sigur and Jebbison this window. Not guaranteed but looking possible.
If they both commit, the competition to make the team will be absolutely absurd. Adekugbe and Hoilett should be healthy as well
A few good players won’t make it 👀
#CanMNT
I legitimately cannot say enough good things about biello and his dedication to Canadian soccer. He is not a good head coach but as an assistant/ staff member he is invaluable. Guy bleeds red and white, I hope it doesn’t go unnoticed by our fans

Cool article about a dual nat on the u20 roster. A Bolivian-Canadian living in Bolivia who chose Canada because he said that’s where his heart is. So nice to finally be on this side when it comes to dual nats 🇨🇦
#CanMNT
If this ends up happening Canada will play the world number 🇦🇷 1, 🇫🇷 2, 🇳🇱 7, 🇲🇽 14, 🇵🇪 32 and 🇨🇱 42 plus potentially 11 if the USA game happens as well 👀 have we ever had such a good run of games in our history? And we may get more if we make knockouts

Impressive from shaff and Davies. Would love to see them on the wings, decent from David, not great from Larin.

🚨 Messi will leave Paris Saint-Germain at the end of the season. There are no doubts about that anymore.
Behind the scenes, it’s now understood that Leo’s father Jorge communicated the decision to PSG already one month ago due to the project.
It was the final breaking point.
Shrewd move by the gaffer. Good to see we’ve become ruthless in pursuit of talented youngsters. We’ve been on the wrong end of this too many times

What a brilliant individual effort from 16-year-old Shola Jimoh to put York United ahead against Ottawa!
That’s now his third goal of the season and York’s first goal since Sep. 13 — and who scored their last? Jimoh.
Next 🇨🇦 star in the making?
Konés move to OM means we will have 5 guys in the xi in top 5 leagues. Plus rumours always swirling around guys like bombito and Eustaquio could make it 11
USA has 11 and Mexico has 3ish as of Copa America

Increasing chatter about Jovan Ivanisevic. 19 year old centre back who left the TFC system last year to go to Croatia
Has already played in 5 games in the Croatian first division, type of player we should be looking at capping sooner then later

Unlike the USMNT, who Canada seems to face on an annual basis. Matches vs Mexico are few and far between, with just 4 since the beginning of the Davies/Herdman era
🇨🇦 is 1-1-2 vs Mexico since 2019. Both losses coming in the gold cup (19,21) and both results in wcq

@brfootball
As an honest USMNT fan I have to say I’m furious at the lack of mls players. Where is bradley and altidore?? They are by far our best players, clear of penkennie and pulishit. I’m taking my fandom to Canada where they know how to run a national team
Kinda disappointed honestly. No dual nats and a lot of old faces back in the squad. After all this talk of an expanded squad, there’s only 26 guys. Also no Ahmed is wild to me

I’m so sick of Insigne. Guy is the biggest piss baby ever. In the article it’s mentioned he’s frustrated at not getting the “Messi treatment” 💀💀💀 BRO YOURE GARBAGE IN MLS. You’ve done nothing at all to earn it other then get injured and whine
