I was an Expos fan in their day, and probably would still be. But just look at the Jays gear, and the fans going to Seattle for games when the Jays come. I never had any other team but the Expos as a kid, have never really supported any MLB team apart from them. Though there are some dynasties I liked, Cardinals with Pujols. Montrealer UT Expos, nos amours 💙❤️🤍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started to watch MLS because of CBC back in the days. And I'm starting to watch CPL because of CBC! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applying for Canada does not count, since he was thinking, "hey, I can stay home and do that job". That is not serious. I think people underestimate his lack of ambition, or if you like, that possibly the extent of his ambition is Forge. RJB and ahmedou 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe his ambition has always been to stay in Canada and strengthen Canadian soccer in some way. Otherwise why come home from coaching in Greece to start an academy in Toronto? Now he has a professional platform to practice his craft. He's obviously done very well bringing players along with both Sigma and Forge. gator, Ivan, kacbru and 2 others 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt he would get a shot in either place other than at a very low level to start off (think non-league in England or something at League One or lower in Scotland). His CPL reputation likely means little in either country. ahmedou 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ahmedou Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 Does the CPL have an official phone number? I didn't find anything. There's only a form on their website. With no guarantee of getting an answer from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kingston Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 I heard Ahmedou almost got a team but the 6000 seat, fully covered, soccer specific stadium he proposed to build in downtown Quebec City had grey seats instead of blue so the CPL told him it didn't meet their standards. ahmedou, Sonny Heung-min and CDNFootballer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shermanator Posted October 20 Share Posted October 20 Disclaimer: a few pints in after the Cavalry / Valour watch party. But here are the view counts for the 4 games on YouTube as of this minute: HFX Wanderers vs York - 2.700 Atletico Ottawa vs Vancouver - 3,800 Forge vs Pacific - 6,000 Cavalry vs Valour - 5,100 For anyone thinking there is enough audience to get on a national broadcaster, these numbers say otherwise.

Where did you hear this? I posed the question as to who gets the 2nd spot on a CPL post on Facebook but got no response. I haven't seen anything official still. If you are correct, this means Cavalry have a greater than 50% chance of winning it now, because there will be at least one finalist that will clinch it for them if they win. I guess there is also a 50% chance that the loser of 1 v 2 wins the semi final, so it's a 75% chance Cavalry gets the 2nd spot. The only way they don't get it is if the winner of the 3 v (winner of 4 v 5) wins the whole thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
