Elliot Panicco damages knee ligaments — 45 days out

The words a physio says slowly. 45 days is what the club will announce and everybody who has heard this diagnosis before knows the number is the least of it: the knee comes back before the player does.

Squad30 Nov 2026

Samuel Piette keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” CF Montreal may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market30 Nov 2026

Matty Longstaff is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at CF Montreal is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Brayan Vera puts it in writing

“This is not anger. I have thought about it for months, and nothing that has happened lately changed my mind.” The request is on a desk at CF Montreal, and it is not being withdrawn.

Match26 Sep 2026

No end in sight to CF Montreal's wait for a win

4 matches now without a victory, and the excuses have worn thinner than the patience. Somebody at CF Montreal has to find a result from somewhere.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Both jobs done by Daniel Ríos — 6.47

A midfielder is measured on whether the team functions when he is on the pitch, which is nearly impossible to see and completely obvious in retrospect. 16 actions, 6.47, and a manager who will not be substituting him again in a hurry.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Tempers go at CF Montreal

Dagur Dan Þórhallsson was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market28 Sep 2026

CF Montreal may not be able to give Tomás Avilés what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Tomás Avilés wants continental football; whether CF Montreal can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Words at CF Montreal training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Iván Jaime is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match29 Aug 2026

CF Montreal leave it late against New York Red Bulls

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 85th, and New York Red Bulls spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Both of them Iván Jaime's — 8.00

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.00, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Match29 Aug 2026

Iván Jaime sends CF Montreal past New York Red Bulls

It finished 3‑2, and it was Iván Jaime’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to CF Montreal.

CF Montreal supporters have found a favourite in Tomás Avilés

There is a particular warmth a ground reserves for a 22-year-old it feels ownership of. Tomás Avilés has it now, and everything he does for the rest of his time here will be measured against the goodwill he was handed for free.

Player ratings31 Aug 2026

Tomás Avilés was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.29. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Ethan Finlay

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad31 Aug 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Prince Owusu's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Sebastian Breza dropped after a run of poor form

The one version of being left out a player cannot argue with, and the one he takes worst. Somebody else has been better and the team sheet says so, in public, every week until it changes.

Market3 Aug 2026

SuperSport United come back empty-handed

The bid was some way short and CF Montreal did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Samuel Piette signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Samuel Piette and CF Montreal agree another 3 years.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Tempers go at CF Montreal

Sebastian Breza was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market3 Aug 2026

Tomás Avilés wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Iván Jaime falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Market3 Aug 2026

Sebastian Breza is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at CF Montreal has been clear about where Sebastian Breza stands, which is more than many ever get.
