Still, the fact that, with only six or seven games left, every team could still make the playoffs is encouraging for fans of the lower ranked teams. Even last place Halifax is only six points out with a game in hand. K Edgar, Unnamed Trialist and Cheeta 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meh. No one was expecting them to win the league anyway. Still have a reasonable chance at that wildcard spot. I don't think anyone is in the driver's seat for that one yet. My money is on Valour or Vancouver and I think Valour has the favourable schedule by a mile. We're going to know after the next 6 tests. Or sooner.

Big_M Posted September 12 Share Posted September 12 we shouldnt be looking at how many points away they are from fifth but rather the playoff line which is between 35-38 points...which means valour needs 4 wins and 1 draw or 5 wins in the last 6 which isnt happening Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheeta Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 ^ Oh for sure. I think if any of the bottom four have a run that gets them to 35+ points they'll finish 5th. Absolutely. I'm just cynical that any of the bottom four will peg 35 points. I'll play. Vancouver are currently best-of-the-rest and on 26 points with two home dates left, Forge and Valour. Otherwise they're away to Pacific, Cavalry, Wanderers and Ottawa. Is their 9 points in there for Vancouver? I'm not so sure. (There better not be if Valour still have a chance of closing the distance). To my mind, and I guess it goes without saying, it really is going to come down to those head to head fixtures.

Bison44 Posted September 16 Share Posted September 16 What mystery?? Herdmans kid has done nothing but play for New Zealand for the last few years. I know the rules are pretty fast and loose, but it doesnt seem right he is a domestic. Especially when he just finished up repping NZ at the olympics...hense 1 guys sad emoji i guess.

Wonderful tolerant inclusive environment we have on here sometimes. Thanks for noticing. A domestic should be able to play for OUR national team in case you do not know what domestic means. And of course it does not seem to bother you at all that he's taking a roster spot of a real domestic player.

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted September 17 Share Posted September 17 Jay Herdman has played for the Canada U-20 team in the past. That means he is a Canadian citizen. It is nonsensical to suggest that a Canadian citizen should not be a domestic player in the context of Canadian soccer. If CanPL attempted to apply the sort of roster policy you seem to want they would be prevented from doing so by employment legislation. nolando and Ivan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What if all the "Canadian citizens" ( as you like to call them) in the CPL decided to play for other countries, how great would that be for developing players for our national team? I do not think the CPL is there to develop players for other countries. Edited September 17 by MtlMario Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also leaves out the approximately 10% of the population across Canada (will be higher in the major cities) who are not citizens and who are often some of the people who are most likely to be interested in following a pro sport other than baseball, gridiron or hockey.

Wow you should roll that all up in to an Argentinian chant. So now people not born here can't consider themselves Canadian? You've hit a new desperate low in your trolling. Only people born here can be Canadians and can like baseball, football and hockey.
