Episode 85: A Cagey Match Sees Canada To The Gold Cup...

The Maple Footy Podcast ·

2025/06/25

Another cagey-CONCACAF type of match in our final group stage game in the Gold Cup 2025. It definitely wasn't pretty, 2 players sent off for El Salvador, a member of staff too, a missed Penalty for the Ice Man, but still in the end Canada gets the job done and that's what matters. A quarter-final match with Gutalmala awaits on June 28th, and Canada will have to be on their A-game, find that resilience and get the win. No time for slip-ups now, so let's talk about it.

The Maple Footy Podcast ·

2025/06/22

Not a great outing for Canada in game 2 of the Gold Cup against Curacao. It's made all the more disappointing after their performance against Honduras. Many of the same issues reared their ugly heads again and the team, coaching staff and manager fails to learn from them each time. I love this team and always back them, but this game called for a bit of a rant... so lets talk about it.

2025/06/18

A statement victory from Canada as they dismantled Honduras for 90 minutes and ended the game 6 goals to the good. If ever there was a great way to start a tournament, it was this. The boys need to build on this, continue building their chemistry, and hopefully build up momentum. Every player that stepped onto the pitch looked up for it, this as the perfect start to a campaign where a lot will be expected. It also leaves us with a lot to talk about! So lets!

Canadian Shield is done and dusted... does it count as the end of the trophy drought for Canada? I'm not too sure. But it has at least gotten us prepped for the Gold Cup! What is a shame is that the Ivory Coast match wasn't as good a performance for Canada as it was against Ukraine. But you know me, we're still going to talk about the game and then preview the Gold Cup! So let's talk about it!

2025/06/08

Yes, the professional players play way too many games, and that schedule is extremely crammed... with that being said, I need more of the national team in my life. I love watching this team play, and it's the reason that Maple Footy even exists. The Canadian Shield a nice little precursor to our Gold Cup run, started well with a win against Ukraine. Canada looked strong, and 4-2 makes this game feel a bit closer than it was. Guys like Tajon Buchanan, Jonathan David, Maxime Crepeau and Luc De

Episode 79: PSG Embarrass Inter In The UCL Final 5-0

The Maple Footy Podcast ·

2025/06/02

The Champions League Final is always looked at as the pinnacle of club football. And this year saw two extremely deserving teams playing for the honour. Inter fell short in every competition this season... sadly for them, the UCL Final redemption arc wasn't to be. They lost, and were embarrassed in the final 5-0... Something that has never been seen before. PSG, on the other hand, got over their UCL demons and were deserving winners. They had a great season, winning a treble and throughout the

2025/05/12

It was one of the last weekends for the Premier League this season, and there was a lot to talk about, especially when we're looking at those European places. Some teams dropped points and some gained... Nottingham Forest, Manchester City & Chelsea all dropped points. Aston Villa kept their UCL hopes alive, and Newcastle probably will be the happiest of the bunch. In this episode, we talk almost exclusively about the UCL race as it's brought us with the most talking points. We also chat a bit

3/4 ways to 100!? Already?? That's wild... but let's chat about more about the prem this season, more specifically matchday 35! Some big matches of course with a good few teams chasing Europe. Villa, Chelsea, Newcastle, Manchester City, and Forest all needing results to get themselves into the UCL next season. That leaves a good little but to talk about when it comes to those teams! With relegation already confirmed and the same with the title that's where it feels like all eyes should be. In

With the Prem the title has been wrapped up by Liverpool, something we've all known for a while but it's now officially official. The 3 teams have been confirmed relegated as well...

2025/04/25

April 24th, 2025, something special happened inside of BC Place. Count me as someone who is jealous for not being in Vancouver to witness this historic night. So many records on the night, broken. History books were tossed out and rewritten. The Whitecaps recorded their highest attendance of the MLS Era, Brian White climbed their all-timer goalscorer charts to 4th with 65 goals across all competitions & last but not least, Messi has lost to his first-ever Canadian Club. It was truly a perfect

It is a genuine honour and pleasure to have had Noah Jensen on the podcast. He's a player I've absolutely loved watching play for Forge pretty much since the day he arrived in Hamilton. It was amazing to sit down and chat with him about his journey in football, some of his career highs, his idols, what he loves most about Forge & Hamilton and so much more. I have a list written down of guys I want to interview... Noah Jensen was on that listen, so this was simply incredible. A massive thank you

70 Episodes in... CRAZY! In this episode, I'm taking a look at the second weekend of CPL action, where Forge took on Pacific and left with 3 points. York hosted Halifax in a well-fought contest, and Ottawa offered the first true blowout of the season against Vancouver. But Terran Campbell wrote his name in the history books as he became the first player in league history to net 40. In the English Premier League, Liverpool pulled off a big win against the Hammers, Manchester City turned it around

The footy don't stop around these parts! The Canadian Premier League is BACK! So we take a look at the results at the weekend, Forge FC started their season off right. York United equally so with a big-time super sub! Ottawa and Halifax put on an entertaining draw and Valour fell to Pacific. The English Premier League also continued the action but it feels like everyone fighting in the top half outside of Aston Villa dropped points. Liverpool put on one of the worst defensive showings of the season,
