Hey, folks! 👋🏻

As some might’ve noticed, I’ve been less active on here lately. In my professional life, I started a new job as a TV journalist here in Halifax which has taken priority.

I hope to resume contributing to this awesome community once I find that ideal balance. 🫡🇨🇦

This explosive run and assist is Alphonso Davies in a nutshell. Brings so much to the table offensively (scored yesterday too) and made some brilliant tackles in Bayern’s 5-1 route of Leipzig.

🇨🇦 players are entering peak form these days. Right on time.

Cyle Larin is really back. 🇨🇦

Another winning goal for Mallorca today, this time from the penalty spot, gifting his side a 1-0 away victory over Getafe — pushing Mallorca back into fifth in La Liga.

Larin now has 3 goals in his last 2 matches, bringing his season tally to 5.

CYLE LARIN BRACE. 🚨

Mallorca, despite being down a man, is up 2-1 against Girona thanks to two goals from the Canadian striker!

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

In other news, Cyle Larin is slowly heating up. He grabs his third La Liga goal of the season to equalize against Girona!

I swear Larin finishes are so satisfying to watch. Clinical touch.

@LFCYussef6 Appreciate you dude. 👊🏻

It’s official: Jonathan David is currently the top scorer in Ligue 1.

That’s 11 goals in 14 matches in France’s top flight, 17 goals in all competitions.

And it’s only December.

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

Niko Sigur wins a battle, turns, and fires home the winner for Hajduk Split over Dinamo Zagreb!

The 21-year-old recent #CanMNT debutant now has 3G in 11 matches for Split. 🇭🇷

Two goals for Jonathan David this morning against Montpellier, officially cracking the top three of Lille’s all-time goal-scorers.

It took him less than five seasons.

Cyle Larin acknowledgement on the official La Liga account. 🤝🫡

The big man up top snagged his second goal of the season for Mallorca this afternoon, bringing his side back into an ongoing 1-1 clash with Valencia.

Larin now has 2G/2A in 11 appearances for sixth-place Mallorca.

[LALIGA @LaLiga]

CYLE LARIN. 🇨🇦

@matt_lamers I’m with you on that.

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

I can’t lie, the John Herdman downfall has been disheartening to watch.

[Toronto FC @TorontoFC]

Toronto FC announced today that John Herdman has resigned his position as Head Coach of the club, effective today.

What a time to be alive. 🇨🇦

Canada’s men’s national team has officially achieved its highest-ever FIFA ranking in program history.

I think this classifies the Jesse Marsch era as a major success so far. Now, let’s crack that top 30 in 2025. 🚀

[CANMNT @CANMNT_Official]

#CANMNT conclude 2024 with highest FIFA Men's World Ranking in program history 📈

Canada have moved up 4 spots to #31 beating the previous all-time high of #33 in February 2022.

See you in 2025! 🇨🇦

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

That looks about right. 🇨🇦

Canada tops the table following CONCACAF Nations League quarterfinal action. Largest goal difference + conceded zero.

Bring on Mexico.

[Concacaf Nations League @CNationsLeague]

How the numbers look after the Quarterfinals 📊

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

My bad. I mean things ARE looking shabby. Not good. Discouraging. Yikes. Uh oh

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

Things aren’t looking too shabby for Daniel Jebbison 🇨🇦/🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 since joining Watford on loan from Bournemouth.

He wasn’t in the match-day squad yesterday during a 2-2 draw with Plymouth and has received limited minutes in recent weeks.

Would he even crack the 🇨🇦 squad right now?

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

It was a short but encouraging season debut for Tajon Buchanan in Inter’s 5-0 route of Hellas Verona. 🤝

He completed 12/12 passes and 1/2 dribbles, including an impressive run from deep where he applied the trademark TJ step-overs to his advantage. A few decent crosses too.

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

After suffering a fractured tibia in July which sidelined him for five months, Tajon Buchanan’s resilience has paid off as he finally gets his first taste of Serie A action this season. 🚨

He’s been subbed on in the 74th minute for Inter Milan, currently up 5-0.

[Canadian Soccer Talk @CANFutbolTalk]

Inter Milan is currently up 5-0 at halftime against Hellas Verona.

Tajon Buchanan is available on the bench. After picking up minutes across two international fixtures in the past two weeks, surely this is an ideal scenario for Inzaghi to give him a look in the second half?
