Mid-season review: Toronto FC, CF Montréal, Vancouver Whitecaps + Halifax Wanderers drop points to Atlético Ottawa in heartbreaking fashion and #CanMNT gears up for Netherlands and France!
As we reach a halfway point in the Major League Soccer season, the crew does a progress assessment on all three Canadian clubs and determine who's underachieving, exceeding expectations, and performing as predicted.
Plus, we dissect the shockingly similar circumstances that resulted in TWO last-minute capitulations in two separate matches in the Canadian soccer sphere this weekend (hello Halifax Wanderers and Toronto FC). And last but most certainly not least, the #CanMNT gathers in Rotterdam to prepare for one of the biggest international windows in the federation's history.
