The Maple Footy Podcast

I went to Canada's First Home World Cup Game, here's my match recap

Oh, Canada, I have chills thinking of the atmosphere around Toronto Stadium. It was unreal. Our boys went out there and did us proud on the biggest stage in sport. What a day it was, and what a moment when Cyle Larin bagged his first-ever World Cup goal to help us come back and get our first World Cup point. While there are tons of positives, there were still some things to learn ahead of Qatar... so let's talk about it all.

Canada World Cup Friendly vs Uzbekistan, my reaction of the tale of two halves

Canada has now played 1 of their 2 Pre-World Cup friendlies, this one being against Uzbekistan. It was definitely a tale of two halves. In the first half, we looked rusty and off the pace, due in large part to many of our guys not being fully match fit following some injuries. Then, once we made changes, I thought the second half squad looked pretty good. Still leaving some stuff to talk about as well, like who takes the Vacant spot and who will be our number 1?
