Canadian Soccer Part II

[Tuggy]

Makes sense. Especially against lesser opposition.

Yeah, this wouldn't be the lineup against a better team.

 

[Tuggy]

Tabla officially capped! He's on the field.

 

[Tuggy]

And ZBG is on!

You can tell the team doesn't have a lot of chemistry yet.

Agreed. All part of the process though, excited fo see the cohesion get better and better hopefully every game.

 

[Natey]

Decent game. We dominated. Dominica sat 11 back. Felt a little underwhelmed with the result.

Thought Davies was really poor.

Osorio, Hoilett, and Teibert were all great.

Tabla had a few jaw dropping moments.

David and Cavallini both scoring again is nice. They're big parts of this offense and they're contributing.

ZBG just missed scoring in his debut.

Millar was fine. Got zero service.

Shout out to Borjan for his clean sheet against Liverpool.

He was really active too, made some absolutely huge saves

1-0 Canada mid second half. Hutchinson scored in the first.

 

[Tuggy]

1-0 FT. Job done.

Canada had a ton of chances but couldn't finish. More goals would have been nice, but 3 points on the road in Central America is good any way you get it.

 

[robertmac43]

Agreed! They lacked that finishing touch yesterday, but I'll take the W and move on !

Great White North represent!

Nike now representing Canada Soccer and supplying all of our equipment, jerseys, balls, etc. Solid acquisition for the team

Extremely excited for this competition this year with all the new teams. Pretty cool that Forge could host an MLS team if they get through one round. Don't want to get my hopes up but I would love to host TFC @ Tim Hortons Field.

Nothing but praise so far for Davies over in Germany. Plenty of articles with the same sentiment as this one:

Alphonso Davies already impressing his teammates at Bayern Munich

 

[Wee Baby Seamus]

f***ing awesome. I'm so bummed the Wanderers didn't exist while I still lived in Halifax.

****ing awesome. I'm so bummed the Wanderers didn't exist while I still lived in Halifax.

That would have been cool. I imagine that there will be plenty of support for the team out east. I have never been out that way and I'm hoping to go when Forge is playing.

I know multiple people who purchased season tickets, the fanbase is gonna be strong

Pacific Football Club bolsters lineup with trio of Canadian youth internationals – Pacific FC

I think my favourite part of this league is seeing the youth movement come through. Quality player signing contracts.

I'm really excited for the CPL; still quite disappointed Fury stayed in the USL.

 

[Pouchkine]

It's a matter of time for the Fury. But they should have come this year or been forced.

Why did they end up staying? I think they will make the move to the CPL at some point, so I just don't get why they didn't take the plunge at the initial hype. Also they would likely been the best team just off prior experience with each other.
