Thanks for paying attention lol

This is a big one for me, the chance for Forge to potentially play an MLS side is intriguing, this is with all due respect to Halifax as they may upset Montreal! The matches are coming fast and furious for Forge with the Concacaf match in less than a week! I'm hoping Forge will have some injured starters back because the team has struggled as of late, the return of Welshman should help, it's a nice evening for football here in The Hammer!

Silva???  Booooo!  Wheres Sirois?

Question what happened to Jakovic?

Forge definitely looking like the better team ATM.

And both Choinierre brothers in action tonight - David here and Mathieu for CF Montreal.  Wonder who the parents are watching…

[dyslexic nam]

Forge almost get the opener.  

[Shway]

Haven’t seen possession stats but it’s easily 80% forge.

Valour look like they are playing for penalties. Especially when you factor the weapons that Forge has on the bench.

[dyslexic nam]

There it is.  

[dyslexic nam]

That should open things up. Valour will have to go for it.

Both bros on the scoresheets too.

[Shway]

Game done lol

[dyslexic nam]

This could get ugly.  Pacius with the 2nd on a really pretty goal.  

[Big_M]

how many times you gotta say gale out...

[dyslexic nam]

Valour definitely looking disorganized.

I'm watching both, on two screens lol  Both brothers scored within 15 minutes of each other.

I am trying to watch both (laptop and phone) but it is hard.

Ricci looks like he just suffered a serious knee injury on that play where he scored off another Henry mistake.

Able to walk off, but we’ve seen that with Priso and Akinola.

2-1 forge.

[dyslexic nam]

Valour within 1.  Ricci injured on the play and subbed out.  They may make a game of it yet.  

[Big_M]

killer welshman is in

[dyslexic nam]

Deserves win by Forge, despite the questions around their 2nd goal.  They were the better team tonight for sure.

I am pretty conflicted about the next two games on this side of the table.  I definitely like Montreal for the CanCon they are fielding (and winning with) in MLS, but it would be massive for Wanderers to beat them next week and the crowd would be hysterical.  Having said that, a Forge vs Montreal semi would also be pretty exciting since Forge generally has to be considered the consistently strongest CPL team over the last few years.  And with the way TFC are playing, it isn’t inconceivable that we could have an all-CPL final.
