: The 2025 MLS season is going to be heated right to the end, and it’s tough to pick a leading contender. This week’s @SI_FootballClub see some big shifts in the Top 10, including a new team at No. 1. ✍️My write up www.si.com/soccer/mls-p...

Shana Tova and a sweet Jewish new year. May 5786 bring hope, peace, and safety to those in Canada, the U.S. and around the world. In the Jewish calendar, it’s officially a World Cup and Olympics year too. 🍎🍯

Absolutely no percentage of these changes were made because of comparison to the NFL.” - CFL commissioner Stewart Johnston

BIG changes to the CFL. 2027: - Goalposts moved from the goalline to back of the end zone - End zones to be a standard 15 yards from 20. - CFL fields to shrink to 100 yards from 110. 2026: - Auto 35-sec play clock - Team benches on opposite side. - Rouge is modified...

NEW: As much as the Vancouver Whitecaps look good, LAFC might be the favorites in the Western Conference now. Son Heung-min and Denis Bouanga have linked up for the club’s last 14 goals and look unstoppable. My latest for @SInow www.si.com/soccer/denis...

BLUE JAYS CLINCH The Toronto Blue Jays are back in the MLB Postseason after an 8-5 win over the Kansas City Royals. 90 wins and closing in on the pennant as well in the final week of the season. October baseball back at the Dome.

Canada ends the 2025 World Athletics Championships with five medals and fourth most gold. 🥇Evan Dunfee - 35km Race Walk 🥇Ethan Katzberg - Hammer Throw 🥇Camryn Rogers - Hammer Throw 🥈 Rown, Blake, Rodney, and De Grasse - 4x100m 🥉Marco Arop - 800m USA tops at 26, 16 gold.

Splits from USA and Canada in the men's 4x100m final. Top-notch race from both. 🥇🇺🇸USA Christian Coleman -10.30 Kenny Bednarek - 8.84 Courtney Lindsey - 9.31 Noah Lyles- 8.84 🥈🇨🇦CANADA Aaron Brown - 10.41 Jerome Blake - 8.75 Brendon Rodney - 9.42 Andre De Grasse - 8.97

What a legendary Canadian 4x100m team to podium again. Their 6th in the last 10 years. 2015 Beijing WC 🥉 2016 Rio OLY: 🥉 2021 Tokyo OLY: 🥈 2022 Eugene WC: 🥇 2024 Paris OLY: 🥇 2025 Tokyo WC: 🥈 Could Brown, Blake, Rodney, and De Grasse hold on for LA 2028?

The USA took gold in both the men's and women's 4x100m relays at the World Athletics Championships. But I'll never get tired of watching Andre De Grasse vs. Noah Lyles down the anchor leg. What an electric rivalry.

🥈🇨🇦CANADA TAKES 4X100M SILVER! Brown, Blake, Rodney, and De Grasse on the podium again in 37.55, 0.07 off the national record. The USA figured out the relay for gold. 🥇🇺🇸 - 37.29 🥈🇨🇦 - 37.55 🥉🇳🇱 - 37.81 Same medal Canada won at Tokyo 2021 Olympics.

HERE WE GO! Aaron Brown. Jerome Blake. Brendon Rodney. Andre De Grasse. Running together for maybe the last time in the men's 4x100m World Championship final. Lane 5.

This will be a battle to watch in the men's 4x100m final. 🇨🇦 Canada Aaron Brown Jerome Blake Brendon Rodney Andre De Grasse 🇺🇸 United States Christian Coleman Kenny Bednarek Courtney Lindsey Noah Lyles Lyles has a party planned in Tokyo, regardless. Can Canada spoil it?

A 7th-place finish for the Canadian women's 4x100m relay in 42.82. The track is absolutely soaked as the USA clocked a 41.75 to win gold, Jamaica a season best 41.79 to take silver and Germany bronze at 41.87. 25 Worlds and Olympic medals for Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

Time for the women's 4x100m and it's the Canadians in Lane 2. Sade McCreath, Jacqueline Madogo, Marie-Éloïse Leclair, Audrey Leduc on a rainy evening for Canada. Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce leads off the Jamaicans in her final race www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

It’s a rainy night in Tokyo for the last two races of the World Athletics Championships. Canada’s men’s quartet of Aaron Brown, Brendon Rodney, Jerome Blake and Andre De Grasse won Olympic gold in Paris rain a year ago. 8:20am ET - they’re in the final.

The Canadian women's 4x100m team broke the national record yesterday. They'll have to do that again, and more to contend for a medal in the final against 🇵🇱🇬🇧🇺🇸🇯🇲🇪🇸🇩🇪🇫🇷 at 8:06 am ET. Sade McCreath. Jacqueline Madogo, Marie-Éloïse Leclair. Audrey Leduc.

🏃‍♂️☕️Happy Sunday folks, It's almost time for the men's and women's 4x100m relay finals at the World Athletics Championships. 8:06 am ET Upstart Canadian women and maybe a last run for the quartet of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse.

Canada is up to 4 medals at the World Athletics Championships heading into the final day. 🥇Evan Dunfee - 35km Race Walk 🥇Ethan Katzberg - Hammer Throw 🥇Camryn Rogers - Hammer Throw 🥉Marco Arop - 800m Both men's and women's 4x100m race finals tomorrow morning.

Marco Arop fell short of his golden defence today in the 800m final in Tokyo, but added to a stacked resume on his 27th birthday. 🥇Budapest 2023 Worlds 🥈Paris 2024 Olympics 🥉Tokyo 2025 Worlds 🥉Eugene 2022 Worlds A season best 1:41.95 today.

🇨🇦🥉MARCO AROP TAKES BRONZE! The birthday boy wins his third Worlds medal in the men's 800m and a season-best 1:41.95. He was second for most of the race, and nearly made a pass down before fading at the end. 🥇🇰🇪Wanyoni - 1:41.86 🥈🇩🇿Sedjati - 1:41.90 🥉🇨🇦Atop - 1:41.95

Pierce Lepage pulls out of the 2025 World Athletics Championships after four events in the men's decathlon, Athletics Canada announces. He was far from medal contention at his first international meet since winning Worlds in 2023.

Nova Scotia's Sarah Mitton falls short in the women's shot put final with a best mark of 19.81m. New Zealand's Maddison-Lee Wesche threw a personal best 20.06m to take third.

Canada will race the 4x100m final World Championship tomorrow at 8:20 am ET. FINAL: (Heat times) 🇬🇭 - 37.79 🇨🇦 - 37. 85 🇳🇱 - 37. 95 🇺🇸 - 37. 98 🇯🇵 - 38.07 🇩🇪 - 38. 12 🇦🇺 - 38.21 🇫🇷 - 38.34 Brown, Blake, Rodney, and De Grasse seek gold like the 2024 Olympics and 2022 Worlds.

So many marquee moments on the big stage from a 4x100m team with at least three of Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney and Andre De Grasse. 2015 Beijing Worlds: 🥉 2016 Rio Olympics: 🥉 2021 Tokyo Olympics: 🥈 2022 Eugene Worlds: 🥇 2024 Paris Olympics: 🥇 They're back in the final tomorrow.

The Canadian men's 4x100m team is such a seamless team; the exchanges are just so smooth– even at their age. Second fastest time in the heats only behind Ghana. Splits today: (37.85) Aaron Brown: 10.44 Jerome Blake: 8.86 Brendon Rodney: 9.85 Andre De Grasse: 9.10

🇨🇦Canada TO THE FINAL! A great 4x100m relay semifinal for the reigning Paris 2024 Olympic champions as the Canadians win the heat with a season-best 37.85. Brown, Blake, Rodney and De Grasse like a well-oiled machine around the track. Jamaica is out on an exchange mess.

For the first time in World Athletics Championship history, the U.S. will not be in the final of the men's 4x400m. Failed exchanges sees them crash out in the semifinal heats. There's always something with American relays.

It's a stacked heat Canada's men's 4x100m relay team is in– and it won't be easy for the aging, underdog yet reigning Olympic champions. 🇨🇦🇰🇪🇯🇲🇫🇷🇵🇱🇩🇪🇺🇸🇧🇪 De Grasse, Rodney, Blake and Brown hoping to be top three in the heat, or the next two best times to qualify for the final.

🇨🇦2023 World Championship silver medalist Sarah Mitton is in the women's shot put final in Tokyo. She's been resilient after struggling on a rain-slicked day at the 2024 Olympics and after being stripped of the Diamond League Trophy last month. Final at 6:54 am ET

🇨🇦 Marco Arop will run for gold at the World Athletics Championships to close out the action on Saturday. Men's 800m final is scheduled for 9:22 am ET. A battle likely between Arop, who won Paris 2024 Olympic silver, 🇰🇪Emmanuel Wanyoni, and 🇩🇿Djamel Sedjati.

It's the start of the men's 4x100m at the World Athletics Championships in Tokyo. The reigning Olympic champions, Canada, are in Heat 1 alongside Jamaica and the USA at 7:25 am ET. Maybe a last time out for Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake, Brendon Rodney, and Andre De Grasse.

🇨🇦Pierce Lepage is in 17th after the first three events of the World Championship men's decathlon. 2474 points through long jump, shot put and 100m –– leader, Kyle Garland has 2927. He won the 2023 World Championship decathlon, but has not competed internationally since.

Damian Warner is out of the decathlon at the World Athletics Championships, he announces on Instagram. An Achilles injury that has gotten worse and held him back from completing his final warmup. Now unable to compete at the venue he won decathlon Olympic gold at Tokyo 2020.

Over 4.5 million fans registered for the Visa World Cup ticket presale and Canadians were third most worldwide. Fans will be notified of their lottery status on Sept. 29 and the first opportunity to buy tickets will be Oct. 1. Top non-host country was Germany.

NEW: When Axel Schuster took over the Whitecaps, the club "didn't believe in something magical happening overnight." Now with Sørensen, a refreshed outlook, and Thomas Müller, they're as close as ever to the MLS summit. ✍️My longform feature for @MLS www.mlssoccer.com/news/vancouv...

Moisë Bombito is set to return to OGC Nice’s matchday squad this weekend as they take on Stade Brestois on Saturday.  Bombito hasn’t played since the end of last season (also against Stade Brestois) due to wrist surgery. #CanMNT www.getfootballnewsfrance.com/2025/moise-b...

It'll be the first-ever Vancouver Derby in the Canadian Championship final. Vancouver FC –– last place in the CanPL defat Atletico Ottawa to clinch a spot in the Voyageurs Cup final vs. Whitecaps FC. Oct. 1 at BC Place. Muller's first chance at a #VWFC trophy.

Marco Arop is into the 800m final at the World Athletics Championships. He wins his heat with an incredibly composed two laps and held off 🇩🇿Djamel Sedjati and 🇮🇪Mark English late. A 1:45.09 gets him into the final set for 9:22am on Saturday.

No Canadian men advance to the 200m final at the World Athletics Championships. Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown and Jerome Blake out in today’s semifinal and will look to the 4x100m relay now — which they won at Paris 2024. Those heats are 7:25am ET on Saturday.

A new record FIFA ranking for Canada. The #CanMNT are 26th in the world. The friendly wins against Romania and Wales move Jesse Marsch’s side up two spots from 28. Their next opponent, Australia moves down to just one spot ahead.

A fun morning awaits at the World Athletics Championships for Canadian athletes. 🇨🇦Marco Arop runs for gold in the men's 800m final and is a contender at 8:45 am ET. 🇨🇦Andre De Grasse, Aaron Brown, Jerome Blake and Audrey Leduc all race 200m semifinals at 8:02 am too.

A last season for a Canadian sporting legend. Brad Gushue emotionally announces that the 2025-26 season will be his last in competitive curling. Maybe, an Olympic farewell in the cards — we’ll find out at Canadian Trials in November in Halifax.

Canada Soccer on reports from Chase Stadium in Miami that the match vs Venezuela had been cancelled. “Parties explained that the match remains scheduled as planned and in accordance with the game contract.” A venue change is possible for the November #CanMNT match.

Thomas Müller sports a Terry Fox Foundation hoodie in the week of the Terry Fox Run. Whitecaps hosting Forge FC tonight in the second leg of the Canadian Championship semifinal, tied 2-2 on aggregate. Match on TSN and OneSoccer at 7pm PT. 📸 @WhitecapsFC

A really good first-half chance was squandered, but other than that, nothing too much of note for Jonathan David in his Juventus Champions League debut. In 60 minutes: 2 shots, 25 touches, 3 touches in the opposition box Juve trail 1-0 v Dortmund as he leaves for Vlahovic.

Promise David SCORES! The #CanMNT man scores from the penalty spot just 10 minutes into the first UEFA Champions League match of the season. Union Saint-Gilloise up 2-0 on PSV at halftime.
