A hard matchup but doable for Forge who has eliminated the highest seeded team in Tauro in Panama. It felt like Forge was playing down to Arcahaie's level. If they come out strong like they did Tauro, they could take this game.

Side note,pitch aside. I thought that was a decent venue. If DR get rolling im sure that would be a pretty decent atmosphere in that stadium 

[Cheeta]

Cricket oval..ish.

Looking forward to this one tonight.

I'm glad I get to watch another Forge match, I didn't expect them to go this far, I am still gutted from last week's debacle and am fearing the worst tonight as Forge take on a much better opponent on their home turf!

The good thing is that there won't be any fans and I believe it won't even be Marathon's stadium.

I don"t like Grant at RB instead of Samuel, a little bit of a shuffle in the back 4, mids and forwards, it's hard to question Bobby, he usually gets strategies and lineups right! There are some nice options off the bench!

Please share if you have a stream.

Sprinklers out, more White Stripes and it looks like there is a bit of a breeze!

[dyslexic nam]

So, Seven Nation Army is the official song of this competition?

OK, I've seen everything.

Half the players on a visiting team from Canada are in long sleeves, in Honduras, in December.  

Oi...

Haven’t they been down south for a while? Even Canadians can acclimatize 

[Gian-Luca]

This Honduran team looks surprisingly tiny

Ya. The Haitians were taller.

Every touch Tissot has taken so far the ball has bounced six yards away from him in the opposite direction

LOL.  The crosses footballers have to bear.

Have a pic in my livingroom of the Little One happily splashing about in the Pacific ocean with her Baba when they went to L.A. to visit family years ago.  In February.  They're in shorts and tank tops and all these locals in the background are bundled up looking at them like they have two heads each.  It's hilarious.
