I agree; the goal really took the wind out of #ForgeFC.
They were playing hard and then just kinda took the foot off the gas. I don't think the squad quite had enough energy to play out the whole match at that level of intensity, something the #CanPL is still continuing to improve.
Every year, these matches vs. #MLS sides look a little better for a little longer. It's only a matter of time until we see another cupset.
Well, that's time. It's not the result I hoped for, but certainly the one I expected.
#CFMontreal 2 - 0 #ForgeFC
If there's going to be a cupset, it's going to come down to #PacificFC against #WhitecapsFC starting in about an hour.
I'll be turning off my phone before the match and watching the recording in the morning. Here's hoping for some great luck.
About 22 minutes into the #CanChamp23 match between #ForgeFC (#CanPL) and #CFMontreal (#MLS).
It's been a very entertaining match so far. I really hope we get to see a Cupset tonight. Forge has a chance to do it, and I definitely wouldn't count out #PacificFC in their match against #WhitecapsFC later tonight.
Loving it!
Half-time!
#ForgeFC 0 - 0 #AtleticoOttawa
So far, the game has gone a lot better for Ottawa than I anticipated. Hopefully, the lads get lucky!
Just saw the line-up for the #ForgeFC vs #AtleticoOttawa match in the #CanChamp23 for tonight.
I'm not looking forward to the trampling... I'm predicting a 5-1 scoreline for Forge.
Hope I'm very wrong!
I love that I called the cupset before we even knew any rosters.
I also love that the next round puts #PacificFC up against #TSSRovers for a second Battle of BC.
Full-time.
#HFXWanderers 1 - 3 #AtleticoOttawa
A good half from both sides, but Ottawa really worked on killing the clock.
Ottawa will host #ForgeFC in the quarterfinals. Can't wait!
Half-time.
#HFXWanderers 1 - 2 #AtleticoOttawa
For most of the half, Ottawa was chasing HFX, just trying to get back in the game. While good to see them catch up and eventually top Halifax, I really hope they don't spend the whole season trying to overturn the other team's lead...
Can't wait for the 2nd half.
Full-time.
#AtleticoOttawa 1 - 1 #HFXWanderers
While some dangerous shots were had by Ottawa, HFX had plenty of opportunities from quick counters.
Good opening match for the year. Can't wait for the rematch in #CanChamp23 on Wednesday.
Although #VWFC performed decently in the first half, the second half against #LAFC in yesterday's #CCL match went more or less as I expected.
On the bright side, this means they're eliminated in advance of the #CanPL and #CanChamp23, allowing me to enjoy watching #AtleticoOttawa earn their way to next year's CCL.
