Match Thread: CONCACAF League - Preliminary Round - Leg 1: Forge FC v CD FAS - August 12, 2021

[narduch]

Match is at 8pm ET on One Soccer.

The game was originally scheduled to be played in Hamilton on August 4 but was moved to El Salvador due to Canadian covid restrictions.

This will be the 2nd time Forge have faced a Salvadoran club in the Concacaf League. Last year Forge eliminated Municipal Limeno, also in the Preliminary Round.

Fantastic, so FAS get credit for an away goal if they score in their own stadium tonight. Hopefully the stadium is at least empty for the Forge home leg?

Does OneSoccer have this game or where can it be watched?

This is a match where the captain will obviously be missed, hopefully Forge can get things done without the captain and manger in an away match that is a home match!

Doesn't seem to be - canned program about their coach. At least on Roku and on my PC.

Oh wait - it's on, on Android. That's really weird. And annoying.

Edit - if you press on the game, on the PC or Roku, it does play.  But it's on the main One Soccer feed - I assumed it would come on after One Soccer.

Odd, I haven't seen them do that since 2019 - I wasn't sure they had the capability of two simultaneous games any more.

Not on the 24 hour channel. You have to select the match

Go to the menu and you should see the live event, I thought it would just continue on the same feed as the pre game show!

This is most likely the same stadium where Canada will play El Salvador in February 

[nfitz]

It's also on YouTube, free on Concacaf's channel.

I'm going out on a limb when I say this ref *may* be a d-bag.

He has been ok so far but FAS are up to the tricks and I feel it's a matter of time until we get Concacafed!😀
