I think AFC Toronto surprised a few people today who aren’t familiar with Canada’s Northern Super League.
They’ve been playing really well all tournament for the #WorldSevensFootball and came close to winning most matches.
They took KC Current down with them in style today.
Wouldn’t be surprised if a few teams in the NWSL scouted a couple players on the Toronto team including 17 year old Kaylee Hunter.
Broadcast for World Sevens Football Day 1 starts at 4:30pm ET.
Each match is an hour.
1- First match 5pm between KC Current and Flamengo
2- Deportivo Cali vs SD Wave 6pm
3- Tigres vs AFC Toronto 7pm
4- Final match of the day between Club América and Nacional 8pm

#NWSL and #NSL seasons might be done but World Sevens Football tournament is back for a 3-day tournament in Florida starting tomorrow (December 5-7).
The first W7F tournament happened in Portugal earlier this year and it was very fun to watch.
Players looked relaxed and were having so much fun (the celebrations were on full display so expect KC Current’s Lo’eau LaBonta to prepare the team to compete in that).
Available free on DAZN’s YouTube in most regions. Airing on HBO Max, TNT, truTV, and Univision in the US.

5 years ago who could have predicted that Lionel Messi and Thomas Müller would face off in an MLS Final?
Messi captaining Barça 2.0 (aka Beckham’s Inter Miami) and Müller captaining Western Canada’s club where his Bayern teammate, Alphonso Davies, became a teenage sensation while I lived in the city.
Vancouver Whitecaps might become the only other Canadian club to win an MLS Final next weekend and if they do they’ll join their Northern Super League compatriots the Vancouver Rise in winning a playoff championship.
Müller was seen attending the NSL semi-final win in Vancouver before the Rise went on to win it all in snowy Toronto.
He referred to the Rise as “we” and “us” in an NSL interview because he clearly feels like he belongs in Vancouver.
I want to know if Phonzie convinced him to go play there when so many teams would gladly have welcomed him.
YOUR 2025 NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONS! 🏆🤩
