episode World Cup break can’t come soon enough for Canadian MLS teams + Canadians Abroad cover

Description

Before the club game pauses with the World Cup starting in less than a month, certain leagues are heating up over the next few weeks, as most European circuits wind down, while leagues like Major League Soccer are about to hit their halfway point. Speaking of MLS, however, this break could come at a great time for Canada’s MLS sides, the Vancouver Whitecaps, Toronto FC and CF Montréal, who are dealing with injuries, dipping form and more. Can the Whitecaps enter the break still in first place in MLS? Will Toronto FC be able to stop a lengthy winless run? Can CF Montréal leap their Canadian Classique rivals after recovering from a slow start? They’ll all look to make that happen this weekend.  Meanwhile, Canadians continue to shine across the globe - Alex and Ben dive into those CanMNT and CanWNT players who are shining brightest at the moment in ‘Canadians Abroad’.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Canada reach World Cup Round of 16!!!

The CanMNT have made the most of their knockout round debut at a men’s World Cup, as they defeated South Africa 1-0 in their Round of 32 clash after a dramatic late winner from Stephen Eustáquio. On a day when they weren’t at their best, Eustáquio made sure that they’d still get over the line on the day, rewarding them for all of the hard work they put in with a special goal. And, in other good news, Alphonso Davies made his return from injury, with this win buying him more time to play an even bigger role in the Round of 16.  Ben, Brendan and Alex dive into a historic game for Canadian soccer, one that will stand out among great historic Canadian sporting moments - and there could still be more big moments to come, with their tournament not over yet.  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Canada’s World Cup QUEST continues vs. South Africa in Round of 32!

After a successful group stage, the CanMNT's 2026 World Cup journey shifts from Canada to Los Angeles to take on South Africa. Expected to win on paper, this will be a fascinating test for Canada, one where they have a chance to make a massive statement, with most of the country watching Can CanMNT pick up a victory that will forever live on in contrast to the usual frustration and heartbreak? Ben, Brendan and Alex help preview this South Africa match, put into context what this game means and where they think this game could be won or lost for Canada. Against a South African side that is expected to be stingy without the ball, it won’t be an easy match. Canada will need to take the lessons learned from similar matchups as they chase a knockout victory. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
