Playing D&D when a friend drops wing sauce on his character bio paragraph. "It's just flavour text anyway," I say. I'm so sorry.

[John Jacques @Makelevi]

With the lone exception of Carducci, every #CanPL player pictured here has been with @inter__toronto at one point.

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

The #CanMNT World Cup tune-up against Uzbekistan sees several players return from long spells on the sideline.

Jonathan Osorio and Jayden Nelson found the net in a tale of two halves that will leave Marsch with plenty to think about ⤵️

What a roster. Let's go, #CANMNT!

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

The choices are made. The roster is ready.

Here is your #CanMNT roster for the @FIFAWorldCup!

Hearing that SixFive Sports & Entertainment has settled with Afshin Ghotbi. More to come!

#CanPL

[John Jacques @Makelevi]

Toronto not being able to offer a base camp is wild work.

While we enjoy our rise in global football stature, there’s still plenty to do at here at home.

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

The @FIFAWorldCup brought 64 possible base camps to pick from, but only 2 hailed from Canada.

Not the most timely of comments, I'll admit.

@soccersuperpick @northtribune @atletiOttawa @AtletideSanLuis I honestly can’t believe we’re still waiting on an MLS side to bring in Bobby. It is due!

Long bus rides, local pride, and a new future at home in @pplsoccer.

Here's how the @ThunderBayChill revival took place after two decades in a US league - and what the future of football looks like in Northwestern Ontario.

This is a huge moment for 🇨🇦⚽️ and #CanPL accessibility - and something they’ve long been fighting for.

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

The Rogers versus Timeless battle is over: the two must play ball.

So, what does this mean for @onesoccer? Let’s dive in ⤵️

@CaseyToGo @AFC_Toronto @hfxtidesfc @NorthernSuperLg This photo goes hard!

A big thanks to @MsDScott11 and Rob Gale for sharing their vision of a pro women’s soccer team in Winnipeg.

Lots of eyes on Canada for the World Cup, but a lot of growth to come here after it, too.

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

The @NorthernSuperLg is closing in on a move to Winnipeg with next season in mind.

With #CanWNT legend Desiree Scott and #NWSL coach Rob Gale at the helm, here's how the push to bring pro soccer back to Manitoba is taking shape ⤵️

@DisquietPessoa @northtribune @NorthernSuperLg Check the article 👀

[John Jacques @Makelevi]

This is pretty much why I don't gamble.

#TFCLive will be stinging from this.

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

🚨 IT’S OVER! 🚨

@TorontoFC falls to @atletiOttawa 3-1 in the #CanChamp primary round!

A hat trick from Ballou Tabla does the job as the #CanPL champions - currently second last in their league - beat at least one of Toronto’s teams this month:

@SOCCERSTEVE01 @onesoccer @vanfootballclub @footsoldierssg @CPLCavalryFC @CPLsoccer @ForgeFCHamilton @HFXWanderersFC @inter__toronto @AtleticoOttawa It’s Vancouver’s mascot (the eagle) swooping in to eat Pacific’s mascot (the starfish).

IMO this image was great

“But I thought they said they were the best team in league!?”

Ollie Bassett showing no love for his old #CanPL club 👀

[John Jacques @Makelevi]

I just noticed a little bit of website history - this was Article #5,000 to be published on @northtribune!

That means that we have published, on average, two articles per day over the last 2,546 days. But who's counting, eh? 😉

Onto the next!

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

It’s #CanPL club number three for Wesley Timoteo, who now joins the reigning champions.

Thinking 12:30PM on a Tuesday was a good idea was always wild to me.

[Ben Steiner @BenSteiner00]

Tuesday's Haiti vs. Iceland friendly in Toronto has been switched to a closed-door friendly due to "operational considerations related to ticket sales," a Canada Soccer spokesperson says.

Fans will be refunded

Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor is set to make his Haiti debut.

[John Jacques @Makelevi]

The #CanPL isn’t shying away from experimentation this season!

I think captain’s challenges work well in rugby league, and Wenger’s offside rule will boost goals. Curious to see how things unfold.

[Northern Tribune @northtribune]

A dash of rugby, a little Arsene.

The #CanPL is introducing some big rule changes this year!

My apologies for cursing our #CanPL champions in my chat with @615Soccer 😬

[Atlético Ottawa @atletiOttawa]

⏱️ FULL-TIME

A narrow defeat in leg one. We head to Nashville next week.

🔴⚪️ ATO 0-2 NSH 🐺

[John Jacques @Makelevi]

Pros of a parking spot four levels underground:

1) probably very safe

Cons:

1) this I guess
2) seventeen right hand turns to get to surface
