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!😀

Sure didn’t look to be a lot in that Borges card.

A good open half, I am so bummed we didn't host this at THF in front of our home crowd!

Forge were really sloppy on the set piece goal they conceded, I think Forge can score in the next leg but another "away goal" would obviously hurt!

[gator]

Another real nice goal!

[Trois Reds]

That was nice.

David Choiniere! That front 3 has done very well!

[dyslexic nam]

Well that isn’t ideal.

I don't know what the rules are on matches that have to be abandoned due to weather or power failures, you would think a back up generator to power field lights and safety essentials in the stadium would be mandatory in these stadiums!

Well a bit of a weird one, but a 3-1 win isn’t a bad way to open the series.  Should be enough if they can keep things steady in the away leg.   Good job to Forge.

A good performance but you feel they could have had more if they had better options off the bench. Son was really poor and we couldn’t get anything going once he came on despite many chances to break.

I think I would have been pleased leaving THF up 3-1, there's still work to do but as you say it is a good start!

I thought he was poor as well, hopefully Babouli's is precautionary, Bekker will be back so there will be options, I think Forge have another goal in them !

Well considering we just beat them 3-1 away and now have a break while they play away (and we get our best player back) I would expect another win.

But that is contingent on Babouli coming back or someone else stepping into the CF role. He’s excellent at this level. Strong and a great dribbler. I wonder why we can’t get Omar Browne this week? Considering we’re away and could use him.

Surprised to see Robert Chen on FAS. Only 27 with 20+ caps for Panama - I remember watching him in the 2011 u17 tournament vs Canada and he was the best player on the park. Unsurprisingly he then went to La Liga and made a few appearances as a teen. Quite the fall from grace.
