Carl Robinson landed a 3.5 year coaching contract with Newcastle Jets in A-League. They are 2nd last in the table so will see if he can right the ship. All in all its a step down from managing the Whitecaps.

Onesoccer has a lot of good Canadian soccer content right now
“Years have gone by and I’ve finally learned to accept myself for who I am: a beggar for good football.
I go about the world, hand outstretched, and in the stadiums I plead: ‘A pretty move, for the love of God.’
And when good football happens, I give thanks for the miracle and I don’t give a damn which team or country performs it.”
-Eduardo Galeano

Giovinco's team Al Hilal got booted out of the Asian CL after most of the team came down with COVID-19. Apparently Giovinco was one of them.

This is a different CSL than the rogue league. It's completely sanctioned by the Ontario Soccer Association.
The youth CSL is called the Central Soccer League and runs up to U18. www.cslsoccer.com I played in this league when I was in youth soccer. It's the competitive rep youth league for the GTA region (from Toronto in the west to about Peterborough in the east up to about Muskoka in the north). There are leagues for different regions in Ontario (SRSL - south, ERSL - east, WRSL-west).
Completely different from the Canadian Soccer League.

good story about ex TFC loanee John Bostock and unfulfilled potential, he's only 28, I would have thought older:

Hey, raise your hand if you knew that Ashtone Morgan had the assist on RSL's lone goal in their last exhibition game... 35 second mark of video
https://www.rsl.com/post/2021/04/08/...n-over-phoenix
Sounds like Ashtone has a real shot at becoming a starter

Ryan Telfer started and played 62 minutes for Trinidad last night against Bahamas in WC qualifying. Could be his last call for Trinidad, as the link below describes, this was the “Nassau nightmare” - they bizarrely couldn’t win, so Trinidad went out, and St Kitts is the shock winner of that group.
Our USMNT players will be silently glad to see T&T gone.

So underrated it's criminal. Smart player, hardly ever sets a foot wrong.
We've had a few guys over the years who didn't meet their potential because it just wasn't recognized. Sam Cronin was such a good passer; my lord. That guy could drop a ball on a dime from sixty yards, but everyone used him as a DM instead of a number eight or in the hole. Just wasted. Ended out shortening his career, too.
For those wondering how Nik Hagglund is doing these days
Griffin Dorsey has signed with Houston following his release from the Reds.

Here's a great piece about Rick Titus and the work he does.

^ That's cool. Thanks!
He only played 1 game for TFC on loan in 2007, but that makes him a Red .
I actually remember him playing for the Lynx.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
