Canadian Soccer Part III

Could be a big singing for a CPL team!

Isn’t that the club with really racist fans?

They are considered to be extremely right wing... Without getting too much into the politics, yes, they have some racist fans in their midst.

1-1 after the first half in El Salvador! Going to be a wild final 45 for Forge.

 

[robertmac43]

CONCACAF officiating is one of the biggest jokes in all of sport....

 

[robertmac43]

Forge go down a man and win it late on an unreal goal from Novak!

Through to the next round!

It felt like going down a man actually turned the match in our favor. Thought the yellow was harsh, particularly given it was a second and a sending off but you have to be cautious when you already have a card or you run the risk of being CONCACAF'd. Also with time running out why did one of their players surround Henry and illegally prevent him from distributing the ball, thus helping us kill off the clock? I was laughing at how stupid that was.

Yeah we were definitely feeling the CONCACAF officiating last night. So many yellow cards and fouls called against us it seemed.

On to Panama!

Forge win in another crazy game! 90th minute penalty!

This was really a great game..more entertaining than I imagined it would be...props to the play by play guy as well.

Yeah the quality of the match was awesome, even if the pitch was thoroughly destroyed when all was said and done!

 

[robertmac43]

Wow, this tweet really puts last nights game into perspective!

 

[robertmac43]

Massive domestic move!

 

[robertmac43]

Lights out from the keeper!

 

[robertmac43]

Something to look forward to!

 

[sabremike]

Something to look forward to!

Hopefully right after the border re opens and fans are allowed in.

Holy that would be nice, but I think it's optimistic at this point.

How good is the CPL compared to other leagues around the world?

 

[sabremike]

Forge up 1-0 at the half on a stoppage time penalty.

 

[Gecklund]

How good is the CPL compared to other leagues around the world?

It’s not great. Basically I’d put it lower than the US second division which is pretty close to a semi professional league.

 

[sabremike]

Absolute catastrophe as after one of the worst howlers by a keeper on a backpass you will ever see leads to an equalizer for the Haitian side they in no way deserved.

 

[robertmac43]

That goal against was brutal, I don't know if I'm going to be able to take the PKs.

 

[sabremike]

There is nobody on Earth I feel worse for than Tristan Henry right now.

 

[sabremike]

Play in is vs Saprissa or Managua so yeah, we are f***ed.

 

[robertmac43]

There is nobody on Earth I feel worse for than Tristan Henry right now.

Yeah that is going to sting for him, hopefully it does not shake his confidence too much!

The amazing thing is that as a Metros supporter this might not even be in my top 20 gutwrenching and catastrophic defeats experienced.
