Jeeze, this guy's been everywhere. Started with TFC (only one appearance), played in Finland, then Edmonton, back to Finland, down to Colombia, Guatemala, back to Finland AGAIN, Sweden, then recently had stints for Vaughan Azzurri and Ottawa Fury.

Anyone else feel the logo looks very... American? The red stripes on the shield just screams USA to me.

I have heard a third-hand rumour that the schedule will be coming out this week. Accurate? Who knows... but my fingers are crossed.

I somehow missed this before. I hope this goes through. Have the St Pierre et Miquelon teams ever played in the French Cup? Edit: I answered my own question. In 2018-19, the islands were represented by AS Saint Pierraise, and joined during the third preliminary round. They were defeated 2-1 by ALC Longvic in the 7th tier. In 2019-20, AS Îlienne Amateurs represented the territory. Again, they joined in the third round, and again they were defeated by a 7th tier team; This time, FC Lyon, by a score of 5-1.

I'm all for rumours... I'm just not a big fan of "something big is coming" tweets. It's not saying anything, it's not even hinting at anything. (This isn't an issue I have with Nef in particular, just that style of tweet in general)

The 2020 CFU Club Championship (which qualifies one team to the 2021 CONCACAF Champions League & three teams to the 2020 CONCACAF League) kicked off last night. Waterhouse (Jamaica) 0-0 Cibao (Dominican Republic) @Kent - Do these games affect your club ranking/index, or is it only CCL/CL games?

Imagine if the 8th team they announce isn't Ottawa...

I was curious, so I looked it up. Source: https://www2.deloitte.com/be/en/pages/technology-media-and-telecommunications/articles/deloitte-pro-league-press-release.html "The average yearly gross salary in G5 is €323,000, well above the K11 (€187,000) and the Proximus League (€90,000)." I'm not sure what the G5 and K11 leagues are. Now, if the average is €90k ($130k CAD), I don't think it's unreasonable that a team targeting promotion would pay considerably more than that.

I will say, I'm not fully opposed to an MLSE-owned team... I just don't want TFCII or anything like that. If it's a completely new team, that just has the same ownership group, bring it on. Same with the other two MLS teams. That being said, I don't really see that happening.

Don't mind me, I'll just be over here, crying about Gorgeous Borges 😢 Best of luck to him in Belgium, but the team now has very large shoes to fill.

Athlétique Ottawa FC or bust.

The link describes Frano as the "alternative captain." That surprise anyone else? He was our yellow card leader last season...

Any word on where Roberts is going?
