Kent Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 Yeah, my concern right away was weather the fans will care. But I suppose if they get some crowd fillers to come out on the field in front of the band and have them bouncing around then it should look ok for the cameras, even if many of the fans at the game are getting concessions.

Unnamed Trialist Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 That looks specifically like Forge and Pacific colours. They are not playing in the near future. It is true that Pacific is vs. York9, so that is close to Toronto and after the 17th Kiss has a three day break, so could do another gig. I don't get how they might do a concert at the CPL finals, but clearly it would not be halftime. Before or even better after a match, that could work. It's odd but as I see it, it would be a fine way to draw in fans, if buying for the final gave you a concert as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CanadaFan123 Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) Maybe this is CPL getting ahead of the ball in case York 9 makes the final and it doesn’t sell out. You have to think that league HQ wants Cavalry v Forge. OR, KISS owns a team? They owned a football team before.. so not far fetched. They could see this as a way to refurbish their brand.

And painting your face that way is directly inspired by Kiss? I mean, that is fine, depending where they want to go with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

m-g-williams Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 So . . . the big KISS reveal was just a video at their concerts in Montreal and Toronto. 🤔 Well, that was overhyped for no reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cronaldo7 Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 Been following CPL by watching all the OneSoccer game highlights but admittedly haven’t watched a full match (seen a couple second half’s here and there type of thing). Out of curiosity from the guys who have followed very closely, what’s an All CPL Starting 11 look like? What about a All- Canadian CPL Starting 11 look like? Know enough about the guys who have really stood like Borges, Campbell, Pasquotti, Camargo, etc Apologies in advance if this has been talked about which I’m sure it has but too lazy rummage through the thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve watched every York 9 FC game so far, and given what I’ve seen from them and from their opponents, I can list a few players I’ve been impressed with: (in no particular order) 1) Ryan Telfer 2) Nathan Ingham 3) Luca Gasparotto 4) Borges 5) Verhoeven 6) Kodai Lida 7) Mason Trafford 8 Jose Escalante (I couldn’t put the “)” on this one because my bloody phone keeps making it into an emoji...) 9) Sergio Camargo 10) Manny Aparicio 11) Michael Petrasso I don’t know... I’m still thinking of standouts who should be on the list! Maybe I should’ve done a top 20. cronaldo7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KW519 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 (edited) I'd add Kyle Bekker, Terran Campbell, Elimane Cisse, Amer Didic and Easton Ongaro to my list Edited August 20, 2019 by KW519 cronaldo7 and youllneverwalkalone 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 What a league this is. Allows guys like this to play in front of home fans, and allows us a chance to see it all evolve - all while giving them a great place to hone their craft (in a surprisingly competitive environment) while putting them in the shop window to help advance their career.

Bison44 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 ^^^ This. I like to look at the scoring race, mainly CDN, and youngish CDN at that. Not 33 year old Swedes. And we finally have a solid, 5-6 CDN keepers getting minutes at a decent level. There might be a future #1-2 in there. But in the meantime we dont have to choose a back up MLS/EPL champ keeper with no minutes as #2-3 for a camp invite, there is actually guys who are playing. dyslexic nam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazlo_80 Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Zator stands out to me on the few Cavalry games I've seen, but what do actual Cavalry fans think of him? Would be curious to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would be curious to know. He's a beast. Solid defensive positioning, confident with the ball, can go for a dribble, reads plays well, wins a lot of balls in the air and has scored a few goals off of corners.

toontownman Posted August 20, 2019 Share Posted August 20, 2019 Zator is arguably league MVP this year. Certainly no shortage of choice and competition for that spot though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
