Squad7 Sep 2026

A fracture rules Juan Torres out for 40 days

Bones knit. That is the one merciful thing about this injury and the reason CF Montreal will talk about it more openly than they would about a knee. He will be back, and roughly when they say.

Match5 Sep 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for CF Montreal

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. FC Cincinnati kept coming because nothing stopped them, and CF Montreal will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Up for the corner, and Tomás Avilés delivers — 7.28

Centre-halves are allowed forward twice a season and are judged on what they do when they get there. Tomás Avilés scored, was marked 7.28, and got back before anybody noticed he had gone.

Market7 Sep 2026

Matty Longstaff has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around CF Montreal they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Kwadwo Opoku runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 23. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Diego Fagúndez in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at CF Montreal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Iván Jaime has a hand in both — 7.93

One scored and one made, which is a different afternoon from scoring twice and an easier one to overlook. Marked 7.93, and involved in 2 of his side's goals.

Match5 Sep 2026

FC Cincinnati take the points off CF Montreal

Beaten 2‑3, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Squad7 Sep 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Juan Torres breaks a bone — 59 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 59 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Both of them Iván Jaime's — 7.96

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 7.96, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

Market24 Aug 2026

Daniel Ríos’s move to Kashima Antlers falls through

The deal that would have taken Daniel Ríos to Kashima Antlers has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to CF Montreal with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

No sign of nerves from Noah Streit at 20 — 7.83

The hardest thing about being 20 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Noah Streit did not need any: 7.83, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Match22 Aug 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.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Dagur Dan Þórhallsson in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at CF Montreal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match22 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for CF Montreal against Orlando City

3‑4 to Orlando City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Match22 Aug 2026

Iván Jaime among the goals in a wild afternoon

7 goals in one match, Iván Jaime on the scoresheet, and a scoreline that will look like a misprint. Neutrals could not have asked more of CF Montreal and Orlando City.

Squad24 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.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Juan Torres breaks a bone — 66 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 66 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Match12 Aug 2026

CF Montreal out of the cup

Houston Dynamo ended it 1‑2. The season narrows to the league now, and everyone in the ground knew it before the final whistle.

Player ratings17 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Noah Streit

Successful dribbles: 30. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Market17 Aug 2026

CF Montreal turn down Minnesota United FC for Victor Loturi

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad17 Aug 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.

Squad17 Aug 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.

Match15 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for CF Montreal against New York City

0‑2 to New York City, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad17 Aug 2026

No hiding place for Sebastian Breza

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Sebastian Breza, and the manager let it.

Match12 Aug 2026

CF Montreal hit back inside 3 minutes

Houston Dynamo held the lead for 3 minutes, which is not long enough to enjoy it. CF Montreal answered before the celebration had properly finished, and the shape of the afternoon changed with it.

Market10 Aug 2026

Leeds 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.

Player ratings10 Aug 2026

Both of them Prince Owusu's — 8.22

2 goals, and the second was the one that settled it. Marked 8.22, and he could have had a third with better luck at the near post.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

The ground has had enough

“We travel everywhere and we get this.” 7 of the 28 senior players heard it walking off, and the ones who did not hear it were not playing.

Market10 Aug 2026

Matty Longstaff has one foot out of the door

Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around CF Montreal they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

CF Montreal to lose Matty Longstaff for free

There is no worse way to lose a footballer. Matty Longstaff has pre-agreed a move away, which means every appearance between now and June is made by a man the club can no longer sell, and somebody upstairs will be asked why the contract was allowed to get here.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Iván Jaime stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Iván Jaime and CF Montreal agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Aaron Long in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at CF Montreal this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match8 Aug 2026

Prince Owusu’s goal not enough for CF Montreal

Prince Owusu scored, and precious little else went right: 3‑4 to Inter Miami CF, and a quiet walk to the dressing room.

Match8 Aug 2026

Nobody could stop scoring

7 goals. Both benches spent the second half looking at each other rather than at the pitch. Purists will complain about CF Montreal and Inter Miami CF in equal measure; everybody else had a wonderful time.

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.

Market3 Aug 2026

Sunusi Ibrahim attracts admirers

The name of Sunusi Ibrahim has come up in conversations CF Montreal were not part of. Nothing formal, nothing signed — but nothing about it accidental either.

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.
