24 hours ahead of Croatia’s 2nd match in the Qatar 2022 World Cup, the mood in the country could be described as ‘cautiously optimistic’. Croatia opened their World Cup campaign with a 0-0 draw with Morocco which only amplified the main concern fans had about Croatia entering the World Cup – the lack of a true […]

Canada head coach John Herdman made headlines following his team's 1-0 defeat to Belgium on Wednesday, headlines a Croatia newspaper jumped on.

Belgium went top of Group F of the World Cup after a narrow 1-0 victory against Canada.

Canada could be dealt a major blow for their World Cup group opener against Belgium on Wednesday as left wing back Alphonso Davies is set to miss the game through injury. It would be huge setback for the North American side when they take the field in what is deemed as the biggest game in […]

The USA mascot for the 2026 World Cup emerged today in early designs and logos. The tournament, co-hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, is the first tournament to involve three countries hosting games. It is just the second tournament to have more than one host.

No road wins this season. A minus 22 goal differential. Six games lost where they gave up three goals or more, including a 4-0 loss and a 6-2 loss. Nineteen points, the third lowest in the league. More trades than a Wall Street stock broker. To be blunt, there has been little for Toronto FC […]

I have mixed feelings on the eve of the United States' opening match of the 2011 Gold Cup. Everything that I was afraid of happening in the Spain match (except injuries) happened, and now Bob Bradley's team has U.S. fans nervous and somewhat pessimistic the day before they face the 76th ranked country in the […]

Have you ever questioned rooting for a team? It doesn't even have to be a soccer team – maybe you watch pro football or baseball, and your hometown/local team is just bad. Because you love the sport and the team, you support it through think and thin and you buy season tickets even though that […]
