This game already started late enough, I didn't need a lightning/lighting delay!

That pitch is disgusting lol

Forge a bit lucky not to have conceded again. Can't afford to give another goal up. They have enough of the ball in attack but can't find the killer pass or finish.

This field is brutal. There's nothing worse that hitting a ball along the floor and having it stop dead in a puddle.

Canada will be playing here on February 2.

Hopefully the pitch isn't so bad, but this kind of rain would be helpful.

[JohnnyFranchise]

Sh*t, that's a hell of a free kick

[JohnnyFranchise]

And a huge goal for forge there. That might be enough to put it away.

Our fullbacks continue to be great this year. A big game out of Johnny Grant and a pretty good season out of Kwame so far. We’re really missing the steadying presence of a Daniel Krutzen or a veteran Jakovic (if he hits form) in our CB pair. I love Dom and Metusala has had his moments but together they take too many risks on the ball and their challenges haven’t always been well-timed.

Well done to Forge, after a shaky start and weather delays the team settled well, I figured they would score at least once against this team! I sure hope we can actually host the Panamanian team in the next round, this was impressive to win in playing 2 away legs!

Forge really needs a striker to lead the line. They can't just rely on Babouli.
