Is this a One Soccer issue?

Or stadium design? The field is sort of a wind tunnel and is empty at both ends

 

Move the team to where McMaster plays , put up seats on the other three sides temporary stands if you want , put 5 to 6000 a game in that stadium and you will have some incredible atmosphere.

hojabrpour does it

Well that changes things up.  Forge will have to go flat out.

Goal, and a nice one, Without outplaying Forge, we are simply not relying on the tactic of Browne and Babouli hotdogging. Sort of an unjustified cockiness, if you really have not had any decent chances with all that possession and that supposed superiority.

I fully expect Forge to take it to us, they have been until now and we are surely to sit back a bit now.

I dunno - that was really well placed in the top corner and Henry had to guard the centre of the net. I think it is just a great hit.  

[grasshopper1917]

Not to harp on Henry but he always seems to also be cussing his defenders out. Multiple times in the last few games he has been caught cussing and having hissy fits on his defenders. Ok im gonna lay off the guy now  lol

[Unnamed Trialist]

I'm surprised how sprite Pacific have been since the goal, and keeping the pressure high. 

[Big_M]

get navarro and nanco in...nothing to lose...put a tall guy up front in the final minutes

[Big_M]

Pacific are 2021 CPL champs...CONGRATS

Is this the end for Bekker...turning 32 next year...we've seen many in this league retire before that age

Welshman can barely keep his eyes open. It’s obvious he can’t put more of his chances away. Congrats pfc.

Congrats to PFC.  Under pressure in the first half but Forge couldn’t cash in their chances - and Pacific took the one opportunity that mattered.

I hope folks on the isle appreciate what this is going to mean. We probably deserved to have that semi final of the Voyageur Cup at home, which was inexplicably taken away from the CSA. So now the visitors will be even bigger--who might it be, and when does it start?

macnaughton should have opportunities in europe and mls...very good performer and born in usa, austrian mother and raised in belgium 

[grasshopper1917]

Full credit to Pacific they deserved the victory today. I think Forge is the better side for sure - just not on this day.
