Martin Nash didn’t mince words about what Vancouver FC needs to do if they’re going to get results. He also wasn’t shy in his praise for Mauro Eustaquio, who was once his assistant, either. (h/t @thomashewitt.bsky.social for the Q)

🆕 Forge and Inter Toronto battled difficult opponents and harsh weather, but emerged with good results. 10-man Forge battled to a draw, while Inter’s resilient defence closed out a huge win. ✍️ for Waking The Red wakingthered.com/2026/04/20/2...

Also asked Nash about seeing Mauro Eustáquio managing Inter, the first big success to come from Nash’s coaching tree: #CanPL

Martin Nash on his FVS challenge on Gabriel Bitar's goal, and the system as a whole: #CanPL

That’s FT from YLS, where Inter Toronto have their first win of the season! Players are gassed after quite a few end-to-end sequences. Not a pretty game by any means, with a lot of offensive frustration on both sides. Vancouver falls to 0-0-3. #CanPL

Hard to make it out, but flurries of snow here at York Lions Stadium that are slated to continue through the first few minutes. Similar conditions to Cavalry’s home opener last week. Inter/Vancouver goes at 5pm. #CanPL

people keep telling me there’s something called “nhl playoffs” happening but #canpl still takes priority

Finished Big Mistakes today and man this is such a good show. First 4 episodes were unbelievably funny but the second 4 leaned into the dramatics and this rising tension. So so good and so happy Dan Levy has still got it

Forge FC and Kyle Bekker have released a statement that Bekker was diagnosed with testicular cancer earlier this year. Fortunately, Bekker has already undergone a successful surgery. Wishing the best for the Bekker family in this time. #CanPL

🆕 FC Supra got deserved headlines, but Inter Toronto and Forge played great games, too. An Altobelli brace gave way to Inter crumbling on set-pieces, while Forge eked out Vancouver with a late winner. ✍️ 905 Deep Dive for @wakingthered.bsky.social wakingthered.com/2026/04/13/2...

🐎 Cavalry is cooking right now! 2-0 up on Ottawa 25 minutes in with a brilliant Daan Klomp header and great team play culminating in a Harry Paton goal. Their attack has sensational chemistry #CanPL

Adds that he "110%" would want the whole team, together, but was happy with the performances from Tomasz Skublak and Gabriel Bitar in their place. Eustaquio noted that Bassett and Badibanga played through knocks against HFX. #CanPL

Mauro Eustaquio is hoping to have Inter Toronto's full squad together in "10 to 12 days." Raul Lopez, Sebastian Gonzales, and Ariel Almagro all missed Saturday's match with visa issues, while Kembo Kibato was injured. #CanPL

Inter Toronto's Julian Altobelli: "I do think we deserved to win. Their goals were our mistakes." H/T David Parkes #CanPL

New logo, same Julian Altobelli. 2 goals today, one a great right-footed finish and one a header. Fantastic cross from Max Ferrari to set up that header. Back-to-back years where Altobelli has scored a brace in Inter/York’s season opener. #CanPL

Out of context #CanPL

No Bassett or Badibanga, two of the offseason’s biggest signings, in this first match of the Inter Toronto era. Two-striker formation with Altobelli and Skublak. #CanPL

Oh we’re BACK #CanPL

Mah Moud is easily one of the best young artists in Toronto rn. Magical album, please go support it!

FORGE FC WITH THE FIRST WIN IN 2026! Brian Wright and Ben Paton seal the deal for Forge. Ottawa had more possession, but Forge was much better, even after missing a bunch of chances. #CanPL 📸 Jojo Yanjiao Qian

BEN PATON GOAL! 2-0 FORGE FVS taking a look at it though. His second CPL goal is right in the mixer, great outswinger from the corner by Borges and the ball falls for Paton, who smashes it home. Forge has wasted chances today, but that was clinical. #CanPL

WHAT A PENALTY BY BRIAN WRIGHT 🔥 He won it, and he absolutely buries that shot. A few minutes of FVS review didn't psyche him out. Crampton guess right, but nothing was stopping that top-left shot. #CanPL

PENALTY STANDS! After like 4 minutes of reviewing with the fourth official, Yusri Rudolph awards the penalty to Brian Wright. Needs to be faster, but happy to have FVS. #CanPL

WE'VE GOT AN FVS CHALLENGE! Brian Wright goes down in the box after a free kick vying for the ball against Tristan Crampton and a penalty is called. Diego Mejia challenges. #CanPL

#CANPL STARTS IN LIKE 12 HOURS EVERYBODY GET HYPED!!

🆕 #CANPL STARTS ON SATURDAY!! I've got you covered with previews of every club for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social , complete with each team's strengths, weaknesses, X-factor, and more. Halifax, Supra, Ottawa, Toronto, Forge: canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/04/02/c...

New: They say the cult of the manager is dead but it feels very much alive in Halifax thanks to Vanni Sartini. His time with @whitecapsfc.com is reflected across @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social's pre-season. But is it enough for the club to win some silverware? My latest for hfxfootballpost.ca.

🆕 What do we know about #CanMNT after their final match before the World Cup window? For one, Marcelo Flores is a baller ready for the starting XI. Flores and Canada can match a quick tempo—but scoring remains a problem ✍️Takes for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/04/01/c...

FT: 🇨🇦0-0🇹🇳 #CanMNT keep a solid clean sheet, but waste away too many good chances. Far too much hesitancy from the guys off the bench, JRR and Jebbison need to make moves quicker. Props to Sigur and Co. for staving off those Tunisian counter attacks.

HT: 🇨🇦0-0🇹🇳 Not a bad half of football, all things considered. Breakneck pace to this game, teams are trading chances. Oluwaseyi missed a volley he should've scored on, but that Millar block is the play to remember. #CanMNT

Remarkable defensive play from Liam Millar, who tracks all the way back to deny Tunisia the opening goal! Kamal Miller couldn't stop the counter-attack, and Max Crépeau had no chance of a save, but Sayfallah Ltaeif's bad pass gave Millar the time to make a block. #CanMNT

Ralph Priso comes off the pitch in anguish. Maybe a hamstring injury after another great tackle. Really feel for Priso, who was really asserting himself in this one. Meanwhile, Kamal Miller is in and can make up for mistakes on Saturday. #CanMNT

1 HOUR AND 30 MINUTES AFTER THE ORIGINAL TIME, WE HAVE FOOTBALL AT BMO FIELD!

Canada Soccer says they have “every intention to play this game tonight.” Next update will come at 8:30. Plenty of fans still here. #CanMNT

Kickoff will not be happening for a good while. Half-hour countdown has restarted after more lighting in the sky. We’re in for a long night. #CanMNT

📍 Inside BMO Field for #CanMNT’s final March match! 🇨🇦v🇹🇳 is the last Canada game here until the World Cup opener against 🇧🇦. Plenty of change from Saturday: Flores, Priso, Koné, Millar, Oluwaseyi, Crépeau all start.

Jesse Marsch has promised a few changes to #CanMNT’s starting XI against Tunisia. Ralph Priso, Tani Oluwaseyi, Ismaël Koné, and Maxime Crépeau will all start. This is the last game before Marsch has to unveil his World Cup squad. MORE: canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/03/30/c...

🆕 The sprint to the World Cup is on, and #CanMNT experienced a speed bump against Iceland. The comeback was electric, but Canada won’t be wholly happy: defensive errors and offensive stumbles prevented a win. ✍️ 3 takes for @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social canadiansoccerdaily.com/2026/03/28/3...

That’s all from me on a really gorgeous day BMO Field. #CanMNT match had a bit of everything. Good and bad. Jesse Marsch promised 4 or 5 changes to the XI for Tuesday’s game against 🇹🇳. Should be another fun one. Takeaways soon on @cansoccerdaily.bsky.social

FT: 🇨🇦 2-2 🇮🇸 A well-fought game from Canada in the second half to recover a draw. Penalty brace from Jonathan David cancels out Orri Óskarsson’s double. Very mixed performance for sure. #CanMNT

26,328 in the stands at BMO Field today. Looks and sounds like more tbh. #CanMNT

JD DOES IT AGAIN! Another penalty, and the Iceman drills it into the exact same spot seven minutes after the first. Canada asks questions of Iceland, and their youth gets the better of them in the box. David on a heater now #CanMNT

JONATHAN DAVID GOAL! The Iceman scores against Iceland from the penalty spot. BMO Field finally allowed to come alive. Still 2-1 Iceland, but much-needed life for Canada. #CanMNT

The instantly iconic red hair is here: Marcelo Flores is about to make his #CanMNT debut.

HT: 🇮🇸 2-0 🇨🇦 Rough first half for Canada. Óskarsson and co. dominating the disjointed backline. 🇨🇦 attackers struggling with the low block and finding space. Hope for a comeback, but a lineup refresh might be needed. #CanMNT

Iceland score AGAIN Óskarsson is having himself a day. Great through ball from Ellertsson, and the striker evaded a slide from Waterman to beat St. Clair. #CanMNT has had more control... but this is getting ugly

Iceland draws first blood in this one. BMO Field stunned. Óskarsson snaps up a weak back-pass by Kamal Miller and slots it past St. Clair on the breakaway. Far from an ideal start for #CanMNT.

WORLD CUP FEVER HITS TORONTO A raucous rendition of O Canada sets the stage for #CanMNT vs Iceland. Fantastic atmosphere here, kickoff just moments away.
