Match is at 7pm ET on One Soccer

I hope Pacific bounce back. I think we've played well enough for stretches, but we still concede to easily and sometimes in bunches

Thought this started in 30 mins. Whoops. 

So no crowd, saving it for the Valour game to have the crowd first? Or there is a crowd but they are still showing the virtual stadium not the crowd??

I think they are only selling tickets to Valour games.

Believe the times were changed when they decided to sell tickets

Oh I thought it was every game. That is a shame. I am sure there are sports starved Winnipeggers that would go at just 2k seats available. Know one that is going for the first time tonight, been bugging him for ages to get out to a Valour game. Be good Valour and York, Be good.

Tomorrow is Forge v Cavalry. Would be a decent match for a casual 

But I don't see it listed in ticketmaster

No score at the half

[Ingham]

What a dire game.

Pacific score. Nice work by Bustos to feed Heard

Absolutely thrilled just to get a shutout and give up so few quality chances

Polisi has some nice ball skills, considering he's been in college and amateur until now, I think he has a decent upside.

Pacific really did dominate. Some questions about Mista being a good coach at alll.

Is Mista the problem? Or is the roster good enough?

They are missing Telfer at National Team duty too.

I think Mista, being the only real outsider, probably needs to get a chance to train and play at home in Ottawa. The team is like a lot of okay ideas not very well put together. Not having been at home or even arrived in Ottawa for many on that roster has to be a problem.

Been thinking Ottawa is the team that should change their name to Wanderers.

The bubble should help in some ways as they will be training together regularly full-time with no breaks in that routine caused by long distance travel which is one of the more challenging aspects of CanPL. Two games a week shouldn't be drastically tiring for what are relatively young rosters under that scenario.

I agree with KJ, I thought that right side of Chung and Bustos was strong again. Hojabrpour and Young impressed me in midfield too. We have options there
