Canadian Soccer Part II

[robertmac43]

There's another $120 I'm going to be spending on the 15th!

You coming back up for that game?

You coming back up for that game?

Yup. Going to Ticats opener, staying over at Hamilton Guesthouse that night, going to Toronto the next day to go to a hostel I booked cheap, then coming back for the Forge game at 5. Then back to Toronto for 11pm red eye back to NYC. Sit in section 213, row 17 seat 16 for Cats games if you go to them.

That is a good looking travel plan. Should be a fun one seeing Forge wear the black and gold.

Well at leas they can watch the CL final fully now....

Well at leas they can watch the CL final fully now....

Why is it being held so early? TV?

 

[robertmac43]

Well a terrible end to the game.....
WATCH: Forge's Roberts sent off in last-minute penalty against Cavalry

This was followed by a mini brawl, Forge cannot continue to concede late goals like this, but the high foot on Bekker has to be called as well.

Escalante is a vile disgusting cheating punk, and if I was at the match I would've had to resist the urge to run onto the pitch and punch him right in his stupid ugly face. Actually their whole team were a bunch of punks.

Cavalry FC Players Accuse Forge FC Assistant Coach of Making Racist Remarks - Northern Tribune

If this is true it would definitely explain some of the end of game commotion, terrible to see in the game and I hope we don't have to worry about too many of these kinds of things coming out in this league.

Has anyone reported what the actual comments he is alleged to have said are? If he went Hulk Hogan here he needs to be sacked, I mean would our black players want to play for the guy if this is true?

That high foot should of been called. Poor job by the officials there.

Would have liked to have seen the goalie go hard for that ball and grab it but, it was a bit of a tough play as he may have been caught in two minds there, go or stick.

All I have heard from the incident is through this article. Not much else has come out yet.

Pretty serious allegations though.

Both keepers have had a tough go for Forge so far. Roberts has been especially indecisive and seems to have trouble controlling himself and the ball. Unfortunate for him as he has a decent pedigree compared to a lot of the other keepers in the CPL

First CPL player to get a sniff of the CANMNT today. Noah Verhoeven added to the pre-competition camp to train. He won't be playing in the Gold Cup though

 

[Tuggy]

Friendly on Sunday for the CANMNT prior to the Gold Cup. Playing Trinidad and Tobago.

Canadian Premier League Statement – Cavalry FC / Forge FC Incident – Forge FC

Statement from the CPL in regards to the racial comments accusations.

Pretty basic, they are going to continue the investigations and then possible refer to Canada soccer for support.

 

[robertmac43]

Frustrating to see things like this especially with how Supporter culture has grown here in Canada

 

[Tuggy]

Didn't get a chance to watch but Canada won the tune up (training match) against Trinidad and Tobago last night 2-0. Arfield with both goals.

Cavalry moving on to play the White Caps after a flat performance by forge. Terrible from Cela at the end there diving for a penalty when he has a real opportunity in the box.

Cela should have his ass nailed to the bench this Saturday for that. Total disgrace, and as you pointed out if he doesn't pull that crap there's a good chance we score. As bad as losing was that play made me absolutely sick. And couple that with the abomination that took place in the Open Cup in NJ tonight and I'm pretty much in a mood to kick puppies right now. I hope the Caps beat the hell out of them as bad as the US beat Thailand today.

Forge looked strong early on but fizzled out after 25 minutes. What a match- Pasquotti was so lethal.

Yeah it was a rough second half. The D struggled and the set pieces looked terrible.

Pasquotti is rapid, one of the scariest threats in the league at this point.

Canada Mens Team announced that they will be playing their Nations League group A games at BMO field. September 7 they will have Cuba and then October 15 they will host the US.

 

[Tuggy]

Gold Cup kicks off tomorrow. Canada against Martinique at 730 EST on TSN3.

Need the 3 points in that one. Hopefully they can have a good start.

 

[robertmac43]

Crazy day today; 3 CPL games and both National teams with games. Canada

Soccer has com along way

 

[Baxterman]

With that win it looks like Canada is almost sure to get the CONCACAF Champions League qualification spot. It's also huge for staying in contention for the spring league Title although Cavalry are looking like they may have it in the bag. I'm not sure it really matter which team wins the Spring, it seems pretty likely it will be Forge v Cavalry in the finals.

We know one thing based on how the league has behaved so far that whether they qualify or not Forge will be in the final no matter what.
