My view for tonight’s Portugal vs Croatia match from the press tribune at BMO Field in Toronto.

For the 2nd game in a row, Alistair Johnston wins the "Gianluigi Buffon anthem singing award" for #CanMNT.

Pre-game falafel. #CanMNT

My view for today’s #CanMNT match.

Quite the walk from the SkyTrain station to BC Place. #CanMNT

Yes, I made and brought my own sandwich into the press tribune. Don’t judge me.

Started covering Canadian soccer in 2000. First #canMNT and #canWNT game was in 2001. Had you told me then Canada would be hosting a men's World Cup, with the team's opening match in Toronto. I would have laughed pretty hard. We've come a long way. My view for today's game. 😀

Coach Jesse Marsch also says Koné is totally fine. Bombito will be ready for tomorrow if needed. #CanMNT

Coach Jesse Marsch says Alphonso Davies had an MRI that was positive. Still won't play tomorrow. #CanMNT

And so it begins. #CanMNT

The Canadian women’s team showed no signs of rust on Tuesday as it steamrolled a familiar Concacaf foe. #CanWNT

Canada kicks off its campaign at the 2026 FIFA World Cup when it faces Bosnia and Herzegovina on Friday at BMO Field (3:00 p.m. ET/TSN) Here are some news and notes from Monday's practice at the BMO Training Ground. #CanMNT

In the first part of a multi-instalment series, TFC Talk breaks down Toronto FC position-by-position through its first 14 matches of the 2026 MLS regular season alongside reporter James Grossi. This week: We look at Toronto FC goalkeepers. Listen to the full audio clip below. #TFCLive

Jonathan Osorio came off the bench to score his 10th goal for Canada, who made wholesale changes at the start of the second half to turn a tight game on its head. #CanMNT

"Both guys have been amazing and are a big part of the success we've had, and they will be a big part of the success we have in the tournament as well," Marsch said. #CanMNT

#TFCLive practice today. Good news: Corbeanu and Gomis involved in training. No sign of Sargent. Will get a full injury update soon.

Not often we're at BMO Field on a Tuesday. Views before kick-off vs. Ottawa. #TFCLive

Ongoing injury crisis will be a serious test of TFC's depth In a 1-on-1 interview, Apple TV commentator Blake Price talks about Toronto FC's injury situation, and much more. #TFCLive

On April 12, 2021, TFC Republic was born. Five years later we're still going strong, providing daily and in-depth coverage of Toronto FC. I just want to say thanks to everyone for their support of TFC Republic over the last five years. It has meant the world to me.

Should TFC move Deandre Kerr to winger? With Theo Corbeanu out injured, this is the perfect time and opportunity for Kerr to get some reps as a winger. #TFCLive

Old habits die hard. Ex #TFCLive captain Michael Bradley examines the pitch at BMO Field.

Some random thoughts I had on Toronto FC ahead of Saturday's home opener vs. the New York Red Bulls (1:00 p.m. ET/TSN & Apple TV). #TFCLive

#TFCLive coach Robin Fraser says Josh Sargent will be available for selection on Saturday.

It’s been far from smooth sailing for Zane Monlouis since he came to MLS. TFC signed Monlouis last February from Arsenal on a two-year deal through 2026 with options for 2027 and 2028 in a move that gave the English defender an opportunity to finally kickstart his club career. #TFCLive

#TFCLive coach Robin Fraser walks into the press room at TQL Stadium, sees me and says, "F--k yeah, John!" You can tell how much this result meant to him.

I have been on holiday since Dec. 22, so I'd just like to take this opportunity to extend my very best wishes to all of you for 2026 and say once again how grateful I am for your continued support of TFC Republic. Here's what's in store over the next seven days:

TFC Republic's reader mailbag column is where I answer questions from subscribers about Toronto FC and Canadian soccer in general. Here we go:

The calm before the storm. My view from the press box at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale ahead of tonight’s #CanMNT vs. Venezuela match. (Taken at 7PM)

Here’s what you need to know about Tuesday's contest between Canada and Venezuela at Chase Stadium in Fort Lauderdale (8:30 p.m. ET/TSN & OneSoccer). #CanMNT

Headed to Florida to cover #CanMNT’s match vs Venezuela. Really looking forward to this weather.

The broadcast booth here in Ottawa.

My mom’s observation is that the snow makes Tommy Wheeldon, Jr. look like a Christmas caroler. I can see it!

I don’t know how well it’s coming across on TV. But the amount of snow on the pitch at TD Place here in Ottawa is quite something.

In Robin Fraser’s first year in charge, Toronto posted a 6-14-14 record and collected 32 points as it finished 12th in the East in 2025. That’s actually worse than 2024 when TFC was 11th in the East with an 11-19-4 record and 37 points under John Herdman. #TFCLive

Rather than raise the level, the Canadians maintained the status quo en route to losing consecutive matches for the first time since 2024 prior to Stoney’s appointment in January. #CanWNT

After three and a half months off, the Canadian women's team returns to action during October's FIFA international window with a pair of high-profile games against European opponents. #CanWNT

Thoughts on SJ at #TFCLive: - Doesn't necessarily mean he won't return. Reds could still sign him to a cheaper deal. - He's coming off his best year for TFC. - If not re-signed, he'll be a free agent. Do they really let him walk away for nothing in return? #TFCLive

Full analysis to come as the day progresses. #TFCLive

In this one-on-one interview with TFC Republic, Stoney reflects on her time in charge thus far, the challenges she's issued to her players and Canada Soccer, and much more. #CanWNT

My full recap of today's year-end media session from #TFCLive with lots of news and tidbits. It's also out from behind the TFC Republic paywall so it's free for everyone to read! This will give you an idea of the in-depth coverage that subscribers get. #TFCLive

Let's look at the 16 players who could leave Toronto FC this off-season and evaluate whether the club should pick up their contract options (or sign them on a permanent basis) or allow them to walk away. #TFCLive

"It's a really important win and performance for us at home. The fans here, they've experienced really dark days until 2015, and they've experienced unbelievable highs up to 2019, 2020, and they've suffered for a number of years," coach Robin Fraser said. #TFCLive

Instead of finishing things on a sour note, TFC deviated from the script and put forth one of its best efforts of the campaign by carving out an impressive 4-2 win over playoff-bound Orlando City before at BMO Field. Here's what's in store over the next week for TFC and TFC Republic. #TFCLive

Final #TFCLive game of the season for me to cover from the comfort of seat #12.

Some random thoughts I had on Toronto FC ahead of its regular season finale against Orlando City at BMO Field on Saturday (6:00 p.m. ET/Apple TV) #TFCLive

Toronto FC is now winless in 11 games following last week's road loss against Los Angeles FC, and has one final chance to close out the campaign on a positive note in this weekend's season finale. #TFCLive

Canada showed why it has climbed to No. 26 in the FIFA world rankings (its highest ever position) by going toe-to-toe with the South American heavyweight, who is ranked No. 13. #CanMNT

My view from the press box at Sports Illustrated Stadium in New Jersey for tonight’s #CanMNT vs Colombia match.

Toronto FC's regular season draws to a close when it hosts Orlando City on Saturday (6:00 p.m. ET/Apple TV). Toronto is coming off a 2-0 loss away to LAFC last week, a game that further highlighted the team's toothless attack, which has been the team's main problem all year. #TFCLive

Stoney on Monday released her 24-player roster for October's international window that will see Canada play a pair of high-profile European friendlies, and included in her roster is Hunter, a 17-year-old forward who has taken the NSL by storm.
