Mortonalia: There's a three-way struggle going on amongst the Cappielow board, majority-owners MCT, and major sponsor Dalrada, triggered by the FIFA signing ban revelation. The only clear winner so far has been 17-year-old Sam Murdoch, who got three starts in goal (for two wins and a draw) when Dougie Imrie was blocked from signing an emergency goalkeeper. Story.

2025 Canadian Championship, Preliminary Round

The dapper TSS Rovers. Source.

It's the preliminary round of the 2025 Canadian Championship. Two of the matches were played last week, but I held off in order to put them all together in one post. There are four CanPL vs League1 matches, two all-CanPL matches and, in a shock, an all-MLS fixture. You can scrutinize the draw here.

Atlético Ottawa 2 - 0 Scrosoppi (April 29)

Scrosoppi FC is from Burlington, Ontario.

Cavalry 6 - 0 Edmonton Scottish United (April 29)

This is the first appearance of an Edmonton club since 2019.

Toronto FC 2 - 2 CF Montréal [Montreal win on PK] (April 30)

These two currently hold last place and second-last place in the MLS Eastern Conference.

York United [5 - 0] FC Laval (yesterday)

Pacific [1 - 1] Vancouver FC [VFC win on PK] (yesterday) 

Valour [1 - 0] TSS Rovers

TSS Rovers are from Richmond, BC. These two met two years ago, and Rovers won. Winner will play the Vancouver Whitecaps in the next round.

Forge [3 - 1] HFX Wanderers

[Halifax goal by Meilleur-Giguère.]
