Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Another weekend in the books for our Canadian boys and we're seeing the best of some of them. Liam Millar now has 7 goals and assists in 7 matches for Birmingham. While Larin exited his match early in England (another injury concern, it seems). In France, Russell-Rowe grabbed an absolute banger of a goal, Davies remained an unused sub for Bayern and Jonathan David continues to show he's a Diego Simeone guy. In the MLS there were some big play off results like both Orlando and TFC winning. And the CPL has set the table for a big finish. Let's talk about it.

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Midweek football nights. We had some Canadians shine on the biggest stages over this past week. Tani grabbed himself his first goal of the season in style, while Jonathan David helped Atlético Madrid to a big win over Manchester United. While Davies was brought on to to try and save Bayern's disastrous performance vs Viking. Elsewhere in the EFL Liam Millar continued his red-hot form. While in the MLS, guys like Waterman and Kamal Miller logged important minutes. TFC, Montreal and the Whitecaps had themselves mixed outings. And the CPL playoffs are taking shape.

Liam Millar & Cyle Larin EFL Player of the Month, Davies logs 90, David assists, TFC beat Montreal
2026/10/12
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Club football is back, and we have a bit to talk about. Larin & Millar are both up for the EFL Player, while Theo Bair scored his first for Bolton in the league. Elsewhere in Europe, Alphonso Davies continues to show why he's the best left-back in the world. Jonathan David is loving Madrid, and Nathan Saliba was at the centre of a big-time call which saw Vinicius Jr grab himself a red card. In the MLS, there were some huge moments, especially for Maxime Crépeau, who made a crazy 12 saves for Orlando in a 3-2 win. While Toronto FC grabbed a last-gasp winner in their derby vs. CF Montreal. Let's talk about it all.

The international window is over, but that doesn't mean we won't milk one more episode out of it. I wanted to chat a little bit about what we learned over this international break, and some of it is the same stuff we've already discussed in the pod before. Some of it is new, and of course there are many great things from this window that will leave us with a lot to look forward to. Let's talk about it.

Tani & David don't mesh as sluggish Canada loses to the USA in a friendly match, my reaction
2026/10/07
Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! We finished our friendly window on a bit of a sour note in a 1-0 to the USA. While the States didn't look great, they were also wheeling out a majority-unknown squad. While Canada struggled in many of the same areas. A lack of creativity, not capitalizing on our chances, Tani and Jonathan David not complementing each other well, and being punished when we shut off. So we talk about it all in this episode.

Jacob Shaffelburg & Liam Millar shine in 2-0 for Canada vs Peru, Piette is honoured, my reaction

It's another win and another clean sheet for our boys. They looked sharp and on it vs. Peru in Montreal. A lot to like, especially in that first half. Jacob Shaffelburg and Liam Millar looked at their best for Canada on the night. Jonathan David and Daniel Jebbison were a pairing that really worked for me. Elsewhere or defence looked quite good, Goodman made his debut and we potentially bid farewell to an underrated legend in Canadian soccer, Samuel Piette. There were still some things to talk about like some of those second-half subs and what I thought of their performances. So let's talk about it.

Jonathan David strike sees Canada beat Chile in Junior Hoilett's swan song, my reaction

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! Christmas isn't the most wonderful time of the year. It's an international break, that is. Our boys were in action against Chile in our homecoming friendly in Toronto. It was a decent showing from our guys I liked a lot of what I saw but there was some things that left a bit to be desired. Jonathan David, Richie Laryea, Nathan Saliba and some of our fresh faces stood out. Certain other guys didn't quite replicate club form, but that's alright. We talk about it all in this episode!

Cyle Larin will be honoured with the keys to the city of Brampton; he won EFL Player of the Month and grabbed himself a brace at the weekend... not bad at all.

Got something to say to this podcast? Send a voicemail, and you might hear yourself on the next episode! One of my favourite conversations I’ve been lucky enough to have through this podcast. It’s a pleasure to welcome Joseph Holliday who’s a great character on the field and even better one off of it. We talk about his Holliday Play Foundation which is a not for profit that has done initiatives in Uganda and Zimbabwe. On the pitch he’s spent time with FC Edmonton through out the early days of his career. And now of course playing with one of the CPL’s most successful clubs in Cavalry FC. He talks in depth about his debut against Supra earlier season, his future ambitions, and more. It’s well worth the watch/listen.

Alphonso Davies logged a full 90' and played very well in a 0-0 draw with Schalke. While the result isn't much to write home about, he looked top class, which is hugely positive news. Elsewhere, Liam Millar left Hull on loan to join Birmingham, which left us at the hive a little down that our Premier League isn't going to get a full season of Premier League football. Other big transfers went through as well, Bair, Sigur and LDF all have new homes. Some big performances in the past week as well. So let's talk about it all.
