Quintessentially Canadian Power Rankings, MLS Week 12/NASL Week 8 24 May 2015 Off the field, there was some good news as well.

Cosmos score early, often in 4-2 triumph over the Eddies 10 May 2015 Crazily, that marks only the fourth quickest goal the Eddies have given up this season in NASL or Canadian Championship play.

Late Minnesota penalty spoils another comeback-win attempt by FCE 3 May 2015 Then, it all changed on what looked to be an innocuous play. Minnesota fullback Justin Davis got into the penalty are with the ball, and looked to have run himself into a corner; he wasn’t facing goal and he didn’t have a shooting angle.
