Match-days will never be the same. My son Wyn Alexander Wheeler is here. Born Friday night. He’s backing Canada for the win tonight.

Boogie calls Toronto fans trash. Draymond, who called out KD during the season, calls Toronto classless. Perhaps they should look at their own organization for clearing him to play. They didn't protect KD. This isn't on Raptors fans, at all.

When your vision comes to life. Before World Cup qualifying started, John Herdman asked the Toronto Star to put together a mock front page, dated March 31, 2022. It set a vision: what it would look like after Canada qualified. Some players brought it to every camp. Here it is.

Come to Edmonton. Get 6 points v. two of CONCACAF's best. Still undefeated. Top of the table heading into 2022. Snow. Cold. Perfection. That is the definition of Mission Accomplished. All the credit to the team and all the great fans. An iconic sporting night for Canada. #canMNT

A challenge for Canadians. March 24. I want Canadians in the streets celebrating World Cup qualification. Just like when Italy, Portugal, or anyone else wins a major competition. Time to get behind the 🇨🇦 just like we do for other counties. #canMNT
"Canada, I love you; we're all in this together now. We've always been a soccer nation, but things have changed, because the #CanMNT is up here now."

Some context on the melee at the end of the Canada game. I’m told @RichieLaryea_ was spit at by Panama number 10 Barcenas. Unsportsmanlike and disgusting behaviour. The reaction by Canada came with good reason. #canMNT

Canada has waited 36 years. We’ll wait another 3 days. #canMNT needs just a point, at home against Jamaica, for the chance to celebrate in front of the great Canadian fans and support. It’s still a dream scenario. See you Sunday. 💪🏼🇨🇦

Articulate, passionate and straight to the point. Jalen Rose is consistently outstanding. This is a fantastic, well reasoned stance.

The FIFA World Cup selection committee is in Edmonton and will be at the game tonight. In the interest of making EDM look as appealing as possible, I strongly suggest not entering the field of play. Be loud. Be proud. Make it a scene. But some common sense would be advisable.

Just like that, the Herdman-Priestman era of control at Canada Soccer comes to an end. They leave behind controversy, distraction + mistrust. Right now, Canada’s players need support. As do Augrusso/Blue. The leadership needs time to clean up the mess that predates their arrival.

Immensely proud of Canada. Really brought something to this World Cup. Didn’t sit back. Played with hearts on their sleeves. Went toe-to-toe with the 2nd and 3rd place teams from 2018; a time Canada ranked 79th between Belarus and Lebanon. Simply ran out of gas. One more to go.

Win or draw, Canada advances to the final round of World Cup qualifying for the 1st time in 24 years. Spread the word. The players need your support. Time for Canada to get behind this program. A huge night tomorrow. Coverage begins 830pm ET @onesoccer @CanadaSoccerEN #canMNT
Canada's John Herdman ahead of Tuesday's deciding game v. Haiti:
- need to take the score and clock out of it
- Haiti have a response in them
- groups wants to become heroes and leave a legacy
- both team's got pretty beat up in the 1st leg
- David has come back a new man

Very important message from Eustaquio, on how we need the CPL to continue to grow and thrive to produce more opportunity and more players. Let’s hope stakeholders of the game are listening to Steph; a leader of Canada’s finest footballers. #CanPL
"I'm proud of the boys... to get here, a top four team at Copa America is a very good achievement. We still have one game to go and we're gonna push for third place."

Boom! Canada welcomes Ike Ugbo to the #canMNT. Former Chelsea striker and now Genk player, has chosen to change his association to represent Canada. He was coveted by Nigeria, and is a former England u20. Landscape is changing. Well done by Herdman. Canada continues to strengthen

We are finally here. We've been reporting on this for months. Agent was in Toronto. Kits were sent to Italy for family a long time ago. It was all up to Lorenzo to sign. Life-changing money and a very good opportunity abroad. No other offer came close. And Insigne is 🔴 #TFCLive
Lorenzo Insigne has signed his five year and half contract as new Toronto FC player. Deal sealed and completed in Rome together with his agent. It’s done, no way back. 🔴🇨🇦 #TorontoFC
Official statement expected soon. Lorenzo will arrive in Toronto in July with his family. #MLS

Let's stop saying #WeTheNorth Championship would be 1st since 93. Incredibly ignorant, especially on a network that aired #TFCLive 17 win, that drew almost 2m viewers. MLS 22 team league, world's most popular/played sport. We count Leafs in 67 in a 6-team league. They all matter.

Just a huge win tonight. Commitment and control. Borjan save and David goal are about as good as it gets. They don’t just win; they continue to impress. Another big step towards Qatar. 5 points from 5 games will do it? Proud of this group. Battle with the #usMNT Sunday. #canMNT

Not many gave Canada a real chance tonight. But the players believed. And came minutes away from victory. That group left everything on the field. They are disappointed. But they should be very proud as well. What a game. What a fight. An emotional night, from start to finish.

Rooney taken out after 15 mins of ET. Complete non-factor. Missed 2 really good chances. And was over-run in the mid when dropped back. One of my favourites all-time and a true legend. Simply doesn't have it anymore. Sad to say, a week before his 34th. A coach > player at Derby.
