It's the largest availability report we've seen in sometime and thankfully, it's mostly on the RBNY side. #AllForCITY with no surprises, Hiebert and Pompeu continue to recover and Downs is with the USMNT.

How do you build an identity? It starts with a plan. But that plan has to be put into action and then carried forward by the players. (1/2)

#AllForCITY 2 has their opponent for the first round of the MLS NextPro Playoffs. The Boyz in Blue will battle Portland! Here's a look at the match up and what head coach David Critchley said earlier today about facing Timbers 2, his time as CITY's first team coach and the organization as a whole.

Whew! I think that's the longest episode of @redsmokerising.bsky.social ing yet. Covered everything from the Open Cup Final berth, the win over Toronto, where CITY 2 stands heading into the playoffs and touching on the trip to face Red Bull this weekend. Pod out in the morning.

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 21/09/2026

Haven't had a chance to dig into the stats until this morning and they really matched the eye test for me. If you take out that last set piece, #AllForCITY is dominant defensively with an xGA under .60.

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 19/09/2026

Let's talk a little about Toronto. The Reds sit 12th in the East but don't let their record fool you. They have points in four of their last five, including wins over Miami and Nashville. (1/5)

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

Great stuff here from Arman. Give him a follow. Based on his calculations, #AllForCITY still has plenty of GAM to work with as the roster retool continues under Corey Wray footyanalyticmusings.substack.com/p/fall-2026-...

More #AllForCITY news as the updated roster profile has dropped from MLS. - Célio has been placed on SEI. - Downs isn’t classified as a U22 - Glover moved into slot 31, which was previously not allocated.

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 17/09/2026

This may be the most I’ve seen Damet pushback when asked about a performance all season. To be fair, the question was a reasonable ask as #AllForCITY only had 8 shots in the match. But, it’s nice to see the gaffer with some fire after a massive win.

#AllForCITY head coach Yoann Damet with some fire tonight after the game. When asked if the club was opportunistic in the win, he pushed back...

T'S A ROCKY MOUNTAIN HIGH FOR #ALLFORCITY!! St. Louis does the work to beat Colorado 3-0 and CITY is heading to its' first ever FINAL! Job well done, it's all to battle for on October 21st!

One of my favorite parts of the conversation with @stlsoccernews.com last night on @redsmokerising.bsky.social was getting a reminder of why the U.S. Open Cup matters so much to St. Louis

One other big thing that Wiebe touched on without using the buzzword was the alignment within the organization and how that has brought results St. Louis under Damet. #AllForCITY

Really excited to talk Open Cup with @stlsoccernews.com tonight on @redsmokerising.bsky.social! It's a packed agenda but we'll make plenty of time to discuss what may be the biggest game in #AllForCITY history!

A CITY2 starting XI that fans will be interested. The penultimate match of the season and #allforcity just need a point to stay out of the play-in match. Zengue scored a brace last time out and the Jorgensen-Lillington-TRB back 3 is one to keep in your back pocket for later.

We heard Carlo Holse talk about understanding "rules" in the system after the win on Saturday night; but I think he really meant to use the word responsibilities. #AllForCITY head coach Yoann Damet talked about the various midfield looks used this season during media availability today. (1/2)

#AllForCITY head coach Yoann Damet discussed the competitive nature of his group and reiterated the importance the club has placed on the Open Cup when speaking to the media today.

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 14/09/2026

The challenge of integrating new players during a period of fixture congestion is real. But with three goal contributions from Holse and a second consecutive brace from Navarro, we're seeing their natural talent and abilities shine for #AllForCITY. (1/2)

Was happy to have the chance to get insight from Navarro post game. I asked him about his acclimation to the system Damet runs with #AllForCITY. His answer is included here.

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

A closer look at Mățan’s impact last night via Futi. FotMob credited him with 3 chances created, 7 passes into the final third and overall 94% of passes completed. #AllForCITY

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

The draw leaves #AllForCITY tied for 5th place on points, but sitting in 6th. Two points out of a spot that would get them a home playoff game.

It's that man Navarro again!! He's go the brace with a header from close range!! Mățan makes a helluva run and then gets a cross into space for a tap home. It may have taken a deflection but Mățan is MAGIC again! #AllForCITY leads!!

040

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

#AllForCITY with a dream start that evaporated over the last 20' or of the half. Level at the break but could have just as easily been behind. Data from Opta over the last 25'. CITY get the ball into the final third more often, but fail to get into into the box on most occasions.

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

It's been a rough 20'+ for #AllForCITY who haven't registered a shot during this stretch. .

020

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

David Da Costa appears to be coming off due to concussion. it's a loss for Portland, he's their leading open play chance creator with 35 on the season coming into this tilt per Opta

020

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Navarro!! One start, one minute in, ONE GOAL!! #AllForCITY with a turnover and an immediate attack -- Navarro gets onto the end of a ball played in front of goal and St. Louis leads!!

080

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 10/09/2026

Navarro gets his first start for #AllForCITY! That's the headline in an XI featuring, perhaps, a little more rotation than expected. Not shocked to see Sangbin slide in for Holse who continues to build fitness. The pattern of rotation also continues at RCB as Orozco starts again. (1/2)

Our projected #AllForCITY XI sees our new DPs starting together for the first time! Is it realistic? Maybe not, given Damet's history with rotation but we are hopeful. And our predictions are optimistic coming off a statement win last weekend.

It's the second time Damet and his staff have been recognized in MLS this season, third overall after they earned a similar honor following the US Open Cup win in Bridgeview. #AllForCITY

041

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Adding additional insight. The highest volume of opportunities for Vancouver were considered "poor" in terms of xG. A testament to the way that Yoann Damet has his #AllForCITY side playing a two way game.

030

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

#AllForCITY's attack was more efficient In a big way last night with a ton of credit to the defensive work done. The team defending prevented Vancouver from getting much of anything on goal and a relatively low xG/shot against.

070

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

After a correction, #AllForCITY finishes with 1.6 xG according to FotMob. According to American Soccer Analysis, it'd be the fourth highest xG allowed by Vancouver all season. A very strong performance by CITY who allowed just one goal on .92 xG in the contest.

0110

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

#AllForCITY earn their first win at BC Place, running the unbeaten streak to 14 in all competitions and 13 in league play. St. Louis is now tied for fourth on points (37) with Dallas.

0110

Jeremy Clements @jxclem.bsky.social · 06/09/2026

Looking at the data, #AllForCITY with 1.55 xG in the opening half per FotMob. According to American Soccer Analysis, this is only the third time all season Vancouver has allowed 1.5 xG or more in a game at home this season. #AllForCITY lead Vancouver 3-1 at the break
