Jonathan David looks to have found his new home by way of Atlético Madrid. Is it a good move for the struggling striker? Time will tell, but I give my opinion on the matter as well. Eustáquio has also found a new home with Swansea. Elsewhere, Davies logged some vital minutes, and Millar had a huge week. There's even more to discuss so let's talk about it.

It's great to welcome Celeste Gordon onto the podcast. She just completed Richmond Hill SC's inaugural campaign in the OPL. She was a big part of their success, grabbing herself 7 goals in the process. She talks about the season, developing her playstyle in Canada and England, future goals and much more.

Promise David is a Seagull! After months of wondering where the striker would go, it's Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League that has snatched Promise up. It's a great move for him. Elsewhere, more transfer news for Saliba, Nelson and a lack of transfer news (and game time) for Eustáquio, which is both frustrating and concerning. There's also an MLS round-up partnered with a CPL one too for good measure, so let's talk about it all.

Absolutely pleasure to welcome Marco Bonofiglio onto the podcast. He is the first-ever Ontario-born man to coach a senior men's national team outside of Canada. He talks all about his journey to get to this moment in his career. Coaching with the U17's and U20's, learning and developing as a coach in different systems & federations, and so much more. It's a great chat with a great man currently representing Canadian Football and doing us proud. Let's talk about it.

After a bit of a break, we are so back. Discussing some possible transfer spots for Jonathan David, who is reportedly no longer in Juventus' plans. A number of clubs have shown interest, mainly Aston Villa, PSG, Paris FC and Hull City. I give my two cents on this. Plus some more transfer news, an update on Dayne St. Clair & our other goalkeepers lighting it up at the moment. We also discuss Ali Ahmed's season ending injury and more.

Absolutely ecstatic to welcome Rezart Rama to the podcast. One of my favourite players currently in the CPL and a man who's enjoyed quite the career thus far. 2 Time CPL champ, along with a regular season in Hamilton, also a Kategoria Superiore, Albanian Cup and Albanian Supercup winner. He spent his early days in the Olympiacos and Nottingham Forest Academies. He even captained the U17 & U19 Albanian teams. We talk about all that, his winning mentality and his love for the game.

It's time for a little transfer news for some of our Canadian Boys. Owen Goodman confirmed a loan move to Dundee, where Promise David kind of sort of basically confirmed a move to Germany. Whereas Eustáquio & Johnston could be Olympiacos and Everton/Fulham bound, respectively. Potential CPL expansion is also on the way! While MLS is back in full swing Dayne St. Clair has found himself as the number 2... while TFC continue to struggle. Let's talk about it all.

As we finish our World Cup 2026 episodes, there was only one way to end it: to reflect on the tournament. I drew up a list of my top 10 favourite moments from this World Cup, some great stories, beautiful tributes, underdogs punching up, and teams making their countries believe. To bid farewell to the World Cup, let's reflect on some of these great moments.

And just like that... the World Cup is over. The greatest sporting event bids us farewell with a pretty lacklustre and frustrating final. Argentina didn't show up to play football; they were just passengers in this one-team race. Players like Messi, Fernandez, Mac Allister and Alvarez all struggled to get into this match. While Spain totally controlled this match and were more than deserving winners of the prize. Their substitutions changed the game and even linked up to help them win it in the end! There's a lot to talk about so... let's talk about it.
