Earlier in the match he went down outside the box and the ref clearly thought he was trying to buy a call. I think that was in the back of his head and caused him to not make the call. If this was MLS VAR would've 100% overturned the call and awarded the penalty because it was a clear foul. Also was I the only one who thought the lighting of the stadium was awful? I was struggling to follow the action on the broadcast because it was so dark.Brutal non-call at the end of that game. Borges was 100% fouled and there should have been a penalty to Forge.

Yup, nice start for Canada last night.
Nothing official but I believe when the next rankings come out (soon in September), Canada will jump over Panama and be just a little bit behind El Salvador. Herdman was talking about the points/rankings in the press conference and they are very aware of how big the Oct 15 match is for the rankings.
Salvaged a draw. Probably our worst performance of the entire season in many ways, first 65 minutes were abysmal. Also sad to see such a small crowd. Obviously the weather wasn't good but I wish more people would show up because this is an excellent team and product that deserves everyone's support. Also when The Tim was built did they consider the wind pattern in positioning the stadium? Unless it was absolutely necessary turning it sideways from Ivor Wynne seems like it was a mistake because the winds off Lake Ontario play havoc with both soccer and football matches.Forge looking rather fatigued and slightly off today, they are turning it on now but they may be too late.

That makes sense. I believe it was supposed to originally be enclosed but budget concerns nixed that (much how Barclays was originally supposed to be built to be able to host hockey but costs killed that plan). I'm shocked they didn't do a study that would've shown open ends was a bad idea.Worst game easily. They could have gotten a third easy which is frustrating, would have been awesome to get 3.
I don't know the reason why they switched the orientation of the field, I was always under the impression that one reason was to get a view of the escarpment.
Canada jumped up to the seventh spot in CONCACAF, one outside of the top 6.
BMO on October 15th is shaping up to be a huge game!
What is the significance of 6th seed?
It gets you to the HEX where 3 of the top 6 have a chance to qualify directly to the World Cup.
