Right. Didn't realize Pacific has also played 1 extra game on Cavalry too.

May be in tough to get that home game.

We can't make the game today and have four seats available if anyone would want them. They are Club 2, roughly edge of penalty area, south end. Let me know if you want them. Would rather they go together rather than singles!

HFX have only 4 of the 12 players with the most minutes starting today.

Forge with some squad rotation, I would have liked to see more after the huge effort vs Montreal and a very important match this Tuesday!

hfx completely falling apart in this end of the season...might be the end of the hart era

But will York or Valour take advantage?

[Big_M]

awful reaction from baskett and choiniere gets the third...hart gotta make changes or subs asap...stop just freaking watching...act and do something

[jonovision]

Halifax doing all they can to give away the fourth playoff spot. But I don't think York or Valour are good enough to take advantage of the opening.

[Big_M]

Both Pacific and Cavalry have lots to play for. Otherwise I could see one of the underdogs stealing a result.

[Big_M]

garcia marshall salter in...riggi polisi camara out...good subs now players gotta get it done...play for your lives nothing to lose

[Big_M]

garcia offside three times in his first eight minutes...wake up

[narduch]

Wow nice response by Marshall. 3-1

[Big_M]

oh myyyyyy marshall what an incredible strike

[Big_M]

garcia offside again...wowww....sit him down and explain to him what he needs to do to not be offside....and do a ton of drills...back to basics

[Big_M]

this time hes not offside, goes around henry but puts the ball too far and dives to try to get the penalty as he knows hes not scoring...yellow card and free kick for forge

[narduch]

Forge win 4-1. Look destined to host a playoff game.

Needless to say a must win next week and hope for two York defeats against Forge which is possible.

A Valour win would put them level with Halifax on 37 points and they would get in I believe?  I forget the tie-breaker.
