I thought he was Forge's best player in any of the defending positions. 🙂 gator and Pottsy3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted May 22, 2022 Share Posted May 22, 2022 I didn’t get the chance to watch the HFX match, how did Rama and Belewu look? Maybe not the best game for assessing defenders but it looked like an exciting lineup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe not the best game for assessing defenders but it looked like an exciting lineup. I only watched the first half, but both looked okay. I thought Belawu looked better, much more mobile, a couple nice runs, but both honestly didn't have to do too much. Pottsy3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Athletic's Kloke put out a piece on Forge/CPL given Saturday's match. Mostly a rehash of things for people less CPL familiar. But here are the most interesting lines: What is certain is that the quality of the Canadian player has increased with access to professional standards of play. That’s why many CPL executives and players are bullish on the league’s future in a way you might not expect from a league playing just its third full season after a shortened 2020 campaign. “I wouldn’t say there’s that big of a gap,” said Ashtone Morgan when asked about the differences between a CPL training session and the training sessions he had at TFC. “But there are a lot of young guys on this team, which is fine. So I think the key thing right now for us, especially, is learning quick and growing up fast.” Throughout these matches (Cdn Championship), multiple MLS employees The Athletic informally polled for this story were continually surprised by the overall quality of CPL players. “Once you understand where you are in the food chain, you know how you can take advantage of that,” said Smyrniotis. It’s the divergent philosophies between the two leagues that continues to come to the forefront, both on Saturday and into the future: is there enough interest among the wider Canadian soccer fanbase in watching largely under-the-radar players, regardless of how much the quality of play has increased? Or are more recognizable stars, which TFC will continue to spend on, necessary to maintain that interest? https://theathletic.com/3348580/2022/06/03/forge-fc-toronto-fc-canadian-championship-final/ Ivan, rkomar and gator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pottsy3 Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 Omar Browne is no longer on the roster on Forge's website, I'd assume that means his loan was cancelled. Ftduck 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if it's official now, but I'd heard that he basically no showed. Panamanian league website doesn't appear to be working/updated, so no clues there. As usual, Forge seems to assume fans have no interest (need?) in knowing what's happening with players. gator, NVsoccer and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ftduck Posted August 4, 2022 Share Posted August 4, 2022 5 minutes ago, Aird25 said: Why do we even pretend there's a salary cap Wish so much all the money involved was fully disclosed for all teams. If Forge is going over the cap its outright cheating, no? If they are are going over the cap and simply paying a fine that's bullshit too. Both scenarios look horrible for any league let alone a new league. Now, if other teams are just under spending significantly, that's different. Fans can call out the owners on that, and in turn the owners can call out fans for not having enough asses in seats. I'm in Hamilton and will be pretty much devastated if Forge is cheating. Takes away from the continental accomplishments. If Bob Young is just spending the limit then we are lucky I guess? Lots of Hamiltonians don't have good things to say about Young and his underlings. Fuck I want this league to work but it needs parity. red card 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
