Love me some Jesse Marsch. What a Godsend he has been

Big shout out to Bombito and Kone for repping Montreal boroughs with their jersey numbers at Nice and Marseille. Long live the STM!

Cyle Larin is on a run!! Another start, a goal and another Mallorca road win. This one over Valladolid.

Really in form..

I am an old man... still play FIFA with my two boys.. No Canadian National Team in EA FC 25.. Is that down to the CSA not being able to get a deal done?

Hmmm that's a good question. I swear we were in games of the past?

We were in 23 if i remember correctly.

Canada was in every game from the original.(92?).. save for 24 and 25. Certainly made sense given the game was mainly worked on in Vancouver... and the national team had many years we were one of the weakest in the game.

So it stings a bit that it's not included yet again.

Hat trick for JD today.

Bombito 90 minutes clean sheet 0-0 draw.

I watched Marseille and Strasbourg.. Corn and Kone started in a 1-0 loss on the road. Kone left injured on 60 and man he was distraught. We have to hope this is not going to be the way forward. Be hard to imagine him in Toronto next month.

Hat trick for JD today.

Not just any hat trick, a perfect one. Right foot, left foot, header.

Unreal game for JD!

Weekend MLS update, JRR started and scored in a 2-2 draw for Columbus.

The Great Dayne got a much needed clean sheet for Minny. Tani coming off the bench which has been happening quite a bit.

Afrifa started on the left of a front 3 for KC and scored their only goal in a 3-1 loss to St Louis. Hiebert continues to start at LCB for them.

Whitecaps and Portland tied at 1. Creps and Miller in for the Timbers. Miller again at LB and taken out on 70.

Ahmed was injured for this one. Boehmer on the bench for Takaoka

Hat trick for JD today.

Bombito 90 minutes clean sheet 0-0 draw.

I'll add Choiniere starting and playing 85 for Grasshopper in a big road win over Young boys.

I know nothing of all 3, but I'm here for it!

Can't wait to be back at BMO again. It's been a while. Looks like the argos have been tearing up the field.
