And Jordan Hamilton, who has played 731 minutes for Toronto FC this season, was down in USL this past weekend, but it was his goal that spurred TFCII to only its second win of the season, a 1-0 decision over Richmond.

As the Vancouver Whitecaps and Toronto FC prepare to do battle in the first leg of the Canadian Championship final, both teams took very different routes when it came to prepping for Wednesday’s game.

Davies got back into the Whitecaps lineup Saturday and showed us more shimmies and shakes than the Electric Circus. Two jaw-dropping goals and two assists later, Davies and the Whitecaps were celebrating a 4-2 home win over Minnesota United.

A neat little Canadian drama unfolded in Saturday night’s game between Toronto FC and the Chicago Fire.

So, as consolation goals go, Alphonso Davies’s strike against D.C. United will go down as one of the greatest in MLS history.

It’s been another goal bonanza for Canadians this week in MLS and USL.

Many Canadians in the USL celebrated the week leading up to Canada Day by providing  fireworks of their own.

In hockey, it’s called a natural hat trick. That is, three goals are scored all in a row by one player. One. Two. Three. With no one else getting a goal in between.

So, it’s a good time to analyze the numbers: So far this season, 27 Canadians have played in MLS matches.

Well, that was a hell of a weekend for Canadians in MLS and USL.
