Plus, a breakdown of Forge's win over Vancouver FC, and a loooong list of candidates for U-21 Player of the Year.

With just one CPL match over the weekend, the Newsroom gang took this opportunity to switch things up a bit and discuss who they think is leading the charge for the 2025 CPL Awards at roughly the midway point of the season. Plus, Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic tries to figure out Forge's best starting XI, Charlie O'Connor-Clarke has a hot take for U-21 Player of the Year, and Mitchell Tierney is loving the goalscoring talent this season.

Here's what's inside this week's CPL Newsroom, presented by Volkswagen:

  • 2:01 — Forge vs. Vancouver: How long can Forge remain unbeaten?
  • 11:34 — Midseason awards predictions: Who's leading the pack?
  • 28:30 — Is this the CPL's best ever Golden Boot race?

The CPL Newsroom presented by Volkswagen is available every week at YouTube.com/CPLSoccer, with the full show available in audio form on Apple, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
