In the latest episode of the CanPL.ca Newsroom, the CanPL.ca editorial crew of Kristian Jack, Charlie O’Connor-Clarke, Benedict Rhodes, Marty Thompson, and Brady Reid chat Canadian men’s national team and a busy weekend in the Canadian Premier League. First up, the gang offer a rosy recap of John Herdman’s side and their slim 1-0 loss to the United States in the final group stage at the Gold Cup. There were a few standout performers past Tajon Buchanan, we may add. In CPL play, the story is once again Valour FC, who remain top of the table after beating York United 3-0 on Sunday night. Austin Ricci’s brace is just the beginning for Rob Gale’s side – but what effect will Andrew Jean-Baptiste’s injury have? Next up was FC Edmonton and Atlético Ottawa’s 1-1 draw on late Sunday night – one that Benedict incorrectly guessed to end scoreless. The gang discuss Edmonton’s impressive showing and perseverance and Ottawa’s outlook as they near the end of The Kickoff. Forge FC’s scrappy 2-1 win over Pacific FC is the next big result – and the one that left the Newsroom spinning their heads. Kyle Bekker’s wonderstrike sunk PFC who were left frustrated by the result. Elsewhere, HFX Wanderers were left in a similar mood after being doused by a front-footed Cavalry FC side 2-1. Tommy Wheeldon Jr.’s group broke their goalscoring duck in dramatic fashion, thanks to Anthony Novak and Ali Musse.
