The 2024 Copa America served delivered a black eye to hosts, the United States, both on and off the pitch. An underwhelming group stage exit has left a void for the head coaching role, while the coordination of the tournament with CONMEBOL has raised eyebrows about facilities and security for the future. Or has it? To sift through the smoke and substance, we caught up with Seth Vertelney, managing editor of Pro Soccer Wire:

There was a hint of irony that a Hamilton-based team was responsible for the end of Bill Manning's time as Argonauts' President. While the final straw came on the soccer side of Maple Leafs Sports and Entertainment, it did also occur at the stadium of the biggest rivals for the CFL's Toronto Argonauts. With the season underway, we connected with CFL historian, author and friend of PSP, Paul Woods.

• Nii Wallace-Bruce and Paul Woods discussed the first quarter of the season and progress of the Argonauts offense under Cameron Dukes.
• They also examined the keys to success on the defensive side of the ball.
• With Manning out and Chad Kelly's suspension in progress, Paul gave his thoughts on what the team might do and how the front office may look for the future.
