gator Posted February 15, 2022 Share Posted February 15, 2022 I was hoping for a cool clear evening, cold enough to affect the Mexicans but not too cold for us fans in the stands, it's going to be 7C with very high winds and rain! https://www.theweathernetwork.com/ca/hourly-weather-forecast/ontario/hamilton narduch and Pottsy3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoccMan Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 I remember they tied that Haitian team in the first leg away last year in the CONCACAF Champions League 0-0 . However , won the second leg game at home rather easily. Incidentally this was the same Haitian team that had eliminated Forge from advancing to the Champions League , in a game Forge dominating and were unlucky to win. I’m looking for a very close game and won’t be surprised if this game ends up tied at the end or hey even a win for Forge . It’s that second leg game that these Mexican teams seem to usually go all out and show their superiority . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pottsy3 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 (edited) I'm really interested in who we start in the midfield today. Without Cisse, this role has a bit of a gap. Hojabrpour might be the guy, but he seems to be a lot more attacking minded whereas Cisse was closer to a holding midfielder. Sissoko might be a closer comparable. Bekker is a lock, and I would think Achinioti is as well. Morgan, Samuel, Krutzen, Borges, Browne are all obvious starters tonight (and Grant if fully healthy, due to lack of positional depth) but Bobby has never been afraid to trust some of the more unheralded players at the start of seasons. Metusala, Krutzen both broke into our lineup a bit unexpectedly in their first seasons and I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Pianelli or Triantafillou does the same. EDIT: Jordan Wilson mentionned on OneSoccer today that Krutzen has been out with injury. Pianelli/Metusala surely sliding into that spot?

Shway Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Henry is good, like all goal keepers mistakes happen. Clearly he lost his footing/slipped. It just sucks when it’s on the big stage. Edited February 17, 2022 by Shway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acid-Tone Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Damn. How many brutally bad goal will Henry give up in continental play! Uhg, Forge were playing pretty well too.

Trois Reds Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Considering how stacked Forge has been in all other positions, I wonder when Smyrniotis will realize how bad Henry is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe in year 1 He’s been in the top 3 ranking for Gks the past 3 years. Hugo Loris in a week gets paid double what he makes all year….and he’s had the same amount of howlers, and it still the number 1 for one of the best countries in the world. Hes made some big saves last year, but again the mistakes on the big stage don’t go unnoticed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 Just brutal. You just can't make those mistakes at this level. Real shame with Forge playing well. Unfortunate/freak occurrence, either way when it's happened several times it starts to stick. Hopefully he sorts his head out quickly. He looked shaken after and not communicating with the defence. Forge have done really well so far in general. king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acid-Tone Posted February 17, 2022 Share Posted February 17, 2022 I'm watching the Fox sports spanish broadcast, and the commentators have actually been pretty complimentary of Forge. They noted how Cruz Azul's squad was worth 65m and Forge FC was only worth 4m, but that the play on the field did not reflect that at all.

I seen this comment made before, not making an excuse….but it’s such a relative statement. I watch premier league games and say that comment lol. So when I miss a sitter in my Sunday league, it hurts but I’m like sheit it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
