Detailed article about Leon's injury (likely happened to her weeks ago and was aggravated during the game against the USA). Also talks about playing for West Ham and living in London with Zadorsky. https://www.tsn.ca/canadian-forward-adriana-leon-on-comeback-trail-after-foot-surgery-1.1612325

Looks like if you want to watch Arfield in the SPL, you can now do so on the OneFootball app. OneFootball has struck a deal with the SPL and games for the rest of this season will be free to stream on their app for those in Canada. The first match they will stream is the Old Firm derby this weekend. After that, it appears that only two select matches per day will be available in Canada, so not sure if we will be able to see Ross County games or not. https://onefootball.com/en/news/watch-spfl-inc-celtic-v-rangers-live-on-onefootball-32605346 https://www.sportspromedia.com/ne

I expect we will see Hoilett play in the upcoming WCQ. In the past 13 games since Mick McCarthy took over as manager, Hoilett has: started 1 game (the first one where he was taken off after 50 minutes), missed 4 because of injury, and played 0 minutes off the bench. He clearly doesn't fit into McCarthy's preferred formation, so I don't think Cardiff will miss him. https://www.walesonline.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/unluckiest-players-cardiff-city-fierce-20099171

Leon is out for the rest of the 2020/21 WSL season after having surgery on her foot. No recovery timeline is provided, so she may or may not be available for the Olympics. https://www.whufc.com/news/articles/2021/march/16-march/team-news-leon-joel-arnold-and-kiernan

I was starting to wonder if Fisk wasn't returning since the team was taking so long to announce anything. Nacho isn't coming back either. So, no goalies from last season are returning. Here's a list of all the players AO announced today that won't be returning for the 2021 season: https://atleticoottawa.canpl.ca/article/atletico-ottawa-roster-update 1 GK Nacho Zabal Contract expired February 26, 2021 [7] 9 MF Mohamed Kourouma Contract expir

Here's the order for tiebreakers for Ligue 1: 1) Points; 2) Goal difference; 3) Goals scored; 4) Head-to-head goal difference; 5) Fairplay ranking

Herdman has more or less confirmed that Scotty will only receive a call-up to the CMNT for the "big games". Herdman notes that it is a combination of his age, family issues, and wanting to win the title with Rangers. Safe to say, Scotty won't be playing Bermuda and the Cayman Islands. https://www.dailyrecord.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/scott-arfield-reaches-rangers-canada-23475200

Hadn't noticed that Argentina replaced Japan in the tournament. That improves Canada's chances of not finishing last! https://www.ussoccer.com/stories/2021/01/argentina-replaces-japan-at-2021-shebelieves-cup-presented-by-visa

Yeah, I just checked mine. My subscription to OneSoccer was included as part of my season ticket/Collective Membership. Instead of expiring at the end of 2020 as advertised, the expiration date is now August 2021.

CSA announced today that the CWNT will play England in April during the FIFA international window (April 5-13).
