Canada’s Historic Clash with Morocco | MLS News

Canada’s men’s soccer team is set to face Morocco in a historic World Cup Round of 16 clash — their first-ever knockout game at this stage. Coach Jesse Marsch calls Morocco “zero weaknesses,” describing their film study as a “gory, horrible nightmare,” while defender Alistair Johnston stresses leaving everything on the field to fuel Canada’s growing soccer culture. After their record-breaking win over South Africa — watched by 11 million Canadians — the team knows they must deliver an extraordinary effort. Though they lost 2-1 to Morocco in their last World Cup meeting, the squad has evolved dramatically under Marsch, earning scoreless draws against France and Colombia and showing they can compete with the best. With a philosophy of being “unrelenting” and making opponents “feel like hell,” Canada aims to disrupt Morocco’s relentless style. Marsch has minimized distractions by relocating players’ families, focusing on a strong defensive foundation led by veteran fullbacks and young center-backs. The players are laser-focused, determined to turn pressure into performance — and if they succeed, they’ll be writing a new chapter in Canadian soccer history.

Diego Rossi Leaves Crew for Monterrey | MLS News

Diego Rossi’s MLS chapter ends as he heads south to CF Monterrey for up to $8M — a move that caps a stellar run with Columbus, where he led the charge to two titles and topped the scoring charts this season. His departure coincides with the Crew’s strategic reshuffle, bringing in Brais Méndez to fill the Designated Player spot. Though Rossi’s legacy in MLS is solid — four All-Star nods, MVP honors, and stints with LAFC and Fenerbahçe — he’ll still face American foes in the Leagues Cup this summer. For Columbus, now sitting just outside the Eastern Conference playoff race, the focus turns to their upcoming clash with NYCFC on July 22nd.

Onana Returns to Trabzonspor | MLS News

André Onana is returning to Trabzonspor for another season-long loan, this time for 2026-27, as the club bets big on Senne Lammens—who just won Premier League Goalkeeper of the Season—to anchor their defense. Trabzonspor will pay up to $1.3 million in loan fees, with no buy option, but they’re covering most of Onana’s salary, easing United’s financial burden. Onana’s strong 2025 campaign helped Trabzonspor win the Turkish Cup and finish third, securing Europa League qualification. United’s short message? Wishing him well. With Onana gone, United must find a new No. 2 keeper—likely a free agent like Darlow, Johnstone, or Gunn—while Altay Bayındır is expected to leave for more minutes. Tom Heaton’s contract is already extended, but United needs depth behind Lammens to protect their No. 1.
