Didn't want to start a new thread or use the English Football thread for this but wanted to share some info on the CPL. A year ago Canada formed their own football league and rather than using the silly Americanized MLS franchise format, actually stayed (relatively) true to the European club system. Amazing the support it received during the inaugural season and they are already making some huge moves to keep growing.
There were seven teams up until this week when the newest club Atletico Ottawa was announced. The name originally seemed really dumb but the club is actually owned by Atlético Madrid which I think is huge for the league.
Big moves being made for the sport in Canada and I'm very pleased to see it
Also, Go Wanderers!
