I just spelled marshmallows as marschmallows by accident.

Is it possible to spend too much time around Canadian soccer?

Found a birthday present for my mom and a Christmas gift for my brother within 20 minutes at the mall and didn't need to spend all day here 🙌

One of the greatest #CanPL success stories yet 👏

Another pathway is open for Canadian talent.
York United made #CanPL history today, as they named 31-year-old Mauro Eustáquio their head coach, making him the 1st former CPL player to become a bench boss in the league

He makes the jump after spending 3 seasons as an assistant at York

GOAL🍁

THE ICEMAN STAYS RED-HOT!🥶

Jonathan David slots home his 31st for the #CanMNT with a tidy finish inside of the box to put his team up 1-0 in the first half

Very strong half from the #CanMNT - that third goal was called back, but they have a commanding 2-0 lead going into the break and a 3-0 aggregate advantage.

Of course he will ✅

Nick Arbuckle takes home the #GreyCup MVP 🏆

From looking for high school coaching jobs in preseason to leading his team to the championship after the injury to Chad Kelly last week.

What a story 👏

2024 is the year of the Brissett brothers 🏆🏆

A late TD from Most Outstanding Player Brady Oliveira trims Toronto's lead, but it's too little too late 🏈

From 17-16 to 41-16 in the blink of an eye.

This fourth quarter has been a clinic by the Argonauts, especially the defence. And the #GreyCup is heading back to Toronto for the second time in three years 🏆
November 18, 2024 at 2:54 AM
That was almost another pick six, wow. Collaros is really struggling out there with the glove on.

#GreyCup
November 18, 2024 at 2:46 AM
Another pick from Collaros, this time ran all the way back into the Winnipeg end zone by Robert Priester!

18 point lead for the Argos after the made kick. This #GreyCup    is over 🙅‍♂️

And on his very first throw, Collaros throws a pick.

Huge chance for the Argos to extend their lead!

#GreyCup
Nick Arbuckle is 26/36 for 252 throwing yards. He's putting on a show and has the Argos eight points up with seven minutes to play.

Zach Collaros is back out now looking to respond, throwing with a glove for the first time ever after that cut on his finger.

Zach Collaros' throwing hand is leaking pretty good. Not sure what caused that blood/cut on his index finger but he's running down the tunnel for some repairs.

Nick Arbuckle is playing very well in his first CFL playoff start, and now has a touchdown pass to give Toronto the lead in the #GreyCup!

Great play by Kevin Mital as well to run it in 🔥
November 18, 2024 at 1:55 AM
Good first half from both teams - especially Toronto kicker Lirim Hajrullahu who seemed to be injured on his second of three made field goals.

This is anyone's game 👀

In June, news came out that Dylon Powley passed away in a tragic accident. From this point forth, and with the blessing of his family, the Foot Soldiers player of the year award will be known as the Dylon Powley Memorial Trophy.
