Looks like One Soccer is doing a half hour pre game for this one.

Thisis going to be a real interesting game, Ottawa have made some big moves for the league during the break, but are a bit of unknown quantity coming into the season and Calgary are one of the better sides in the league with a quality coach and a nice set up. Will be interesting to see how Ottawa do and maybe get a bit of a better idea with how they match up with the stronger sides.

So Nike can't make Canada a new World Cup jersey but Macron can create a special yellow jersey for Ottawa

Looks like OS has a golf commentator filling in

He has more experience in the game then probably the rest on OS combined

Oh man I like Alf de Blasis.

Probably doesn't help that he is calling the game remotely 

[Nello]

So use to Wheeler and Jenkins this feels sleepy. Not complaining

[gator]

I think Alf is a nice change not just from other OS commentators but NA soccer callers in general, the man of less words is welcomed by me sometimes and as @jordan mentioned he is more experienced than most!

[jordan]

Cavalry will dominate the league in complaining to the officials, with Brennan gone it won’t even be close

[JamboAl]

Pretty good crowd here at TD Place.  And the quality is better than last season too - although it’s early.

[narduch]

Scoreless at the half

[jordan]

Looks like Ottawa has all the tools to be a very good team this year, need to be crisper and need to make a better decisions at times.

You mean a mental health crisis  line operator. Omg this guy needs some excitement, He’s so soft and to calm . OS can’t go 100 to 0 on us like this. 

[narduch]

Tabla doesn't last an hour. Didn't think he was that bad.

Calgary seem to be getting closer to scoring now

[narduch]

Beckie red carded for a stomp.

 

[narduch]

Atletico win 1-0

[jordan]

He’s really doubling down on Camargo’s flop being a pk

Not sure if they're both on the same meds but both Jenkins & De Blasis have been much more subdued this week. 

Jenkins barely seemed interested in what was happening on the pitch for both CPL & Canada women. A welcome change from his hyperkinetic calling style more suited for hockey. But his transition into and out of dead air was awkward or ill timed. 

For De Blasis, he barely mentioned AO player names - though it didn't help that it was hard to see white numbering on yellow in sunny conditions.

I called the game on TSN1200 radio in Ottawa and can confirm it was impossible to read the white numbers on the yellow kit.  😳
