So all that talk from Ottawa Fury fans and organization claiming USL was leagues above CPL went flying out the window tonight

To be fair, the Fury did something neither MLS side could do.

9 goals scored on the night and I'd rank the MLS goals 8th and 9th.  The runt of the litter and it's ugly twin.

 I think Ottawa would definitely be top 3 in the CPL, and a strong contender for 1st. Based on watching that one match of course. They knocked the ball around well and their finishing was clinical. Not super strong at the back though.

Where would you place the MLS sides, based on a single match?

Well I'd place at least one near the bottom of MLS.

And based on what I saw, I think that is fair.  But to me that simply proves @Ansem's point that there is no categorical difference between the Fury's quality and the quality of CPL teams (keeping in mind that Halifax finished exactly mid-table in the Spring season).  Small sample size acknowledged, but I think this was a good advert for CPL.

Of course it was a bogus offside , that’s why I love VAR , yes it has its problems but it would have most likely called that a goal if it went to VAR it’s 2019 not 1919 bring on technology!

You are right about the offside .If you freeze the video it's obvious that the Fury defender in middle kept Bona onside
