Canadian teams:

  1. Vancouver Whitecaps | Previous ranking: 11 Vancouver has two impressive wins to start the season after beating last year's champions, the LA Galaxy, 2-1 on Sunday. Left back Sam Adekugbe opened the scoring in the second minute with his second goal in as many games, and New Jersey-born striker Brian White sealed all three points in the 87th minute.
  1. CF Montréal | Previous ranking: 19 Jonathan Sirois' five saves weren't enough in a 1-0 loss to Minnesota, as Montréal held 65% of possession but failed to put a single shot on target.
  1. Toronto FC | Previous ranking: 27 Toronto has some potential and were solid in a 2-2 draw Week 1, but after losing to Orlando 4-2 in their opener, the Reds have allowed six goals in two games now. That's tied with three other clubs (including Orlando) for the most in the league.

My god is Vancouver carrying Canada right now. Toronto and Montréal have potential, but there a clear flaws.

Hi everyone, (French follows after)

I joined Lemmy today and would love to have a place to talk about CF Montréal here, but the Lemmy community for it here is really dead (no posts in 2 years). I decided to created one for it so if you’re interested, please join and chat about the team! For what it’s worth the team needs it with its recent struggles. :c The link should be just here 🔗 https://lemmy.ca/c/cf_montreal

Bonjour à tous,

Je viens de rejoindre Lemmy aujourd’hui et je voulais avoir une place pour parler du CF Montréal. J’ai trouvé une communauté, mais elle est très inactive (aucun post depuis 2 ans) donc j’ai décidé d’en créer une. Donc si vous êtes intéressé de rejoindre et discuter de l’équipe, n’hésitez pas! On en a besoin avec les deux premiers matchs. :c Le lien devrait être juste ici 🔗 https://lemmy.ca/c/cf_montreal

As an American, I’m also ashamed. I thank Jesse Marsch for being brave enough to speak openly and honestly about the state of affairs in his / my country. Jesse is clearly a very honest and decent guy.

The inaugural season kicks off April 16th with Calgary facing Vancouver.

Personally, I have to wait for April 27th, when AFC Toronto faces Ottawa Rapid FC.

Can't wait for kick-off!

It's the Whitecaps' fifth appearance in the Champions Cup and their first time facing Saprissa, the most successful club in Costa Rica, with 40 domestic titles.

In addition to qualifying, the CanM17 squad set a new record for most consecutive wins (6).

With the team having qualified for five of the last seven U17 World Cups, it's a good window into the growth of the game here in Canada.

Some lads to keep an eye on!

Noonan talks about player sales, CPL expansion, pro/rel, growth of League1, and a few other things.

Kelowna & Windsor are front runners for 2026 expansion, but Kingston is a strong possibility.

Is this community only for the national teams & news related to Canada Soccer (the organizing body), or should it also include CPL / NSL / L1Canada / MLS (Canadian Teams), and/or youth/grassroots soccer across the country?

I know some Canada Soccer communities (Reddit / FB) tend to be restrictive on that. I don't want to post news about non-national teams here if it isn't welcome, and I also don't necessarily want to create new communities if it is (why fracture an already small community?).
