Is there going to be crazy wind in Edmonton tomorrow?

[yothat2]

Light rain it looks like ... This team can't catch a break 

[TheDoon]

Great weather this weekend so of course FCE is playing midweek, the only day it’s raining and cooler.

More rotation from Pacific. Young and Habibullah get their first starts. Not a good sign that Dada-Luke isn't even on the bench. I'm guessing one of the CBs will be playing RB instead of Mukumbilwa (or Mavila). 

[Big_M]

what is not a good sign is that mukumbilwa doesnt get a start even with dada-luke out

Apparently the CPL is worthy of being streamed illegally on hesgoal.com.  I subscribe to Onesoccer but was surprised to see it.  I also learned that BT Sport subscribers that can't sleep at 3AM are enjoying this game

Cool news on BT sports following the Mexico TV news. 

Good game so far even if pacific should be winning. Edmonton don't look horrific.

Manny will move up a level if he continues playing the way he has been this season. Unreal break early on down the left and a cross Bustos simply should have buried.

I thought Georges looked pretty good at RB after all.

Eddies are a home draw machine.

They are a team of cult legends. 

A beneficial situation for all Eddie's players when the expectation was finishing last. It's not there yet the back line of Higgins, Loughrey and Singh looks potentially solid, Vaikla too although they each have silly mistakes in them. Potential is there.

Midfield is just lacking a real difference maker or two. I'm liking what I've seen from the Eddie's, last weekend aside haha.

A minute and a half for highlights… I’m guessing not much happened?

Nothing on Youtube from Onesoccer so far which is unusual.

Yep yep yep. Solid defensively, and Tobi up top can be a difference maker. The midfield just doesn't have much flash going forward, especially outwide. I've been wanting to see what Ousman Maheshe can provide for that reason, but he's not been in the 18 since the season opener.

Not much in the way of finishing, that’s for sure.~ 85 minutes of passing around the horn from left to right and not finding any penetration. ~5 minutes worth of nice build up with no finish.

Bit longer from Onesoccer:

Bustos gets all the hype on Pacific FC team but I love how Aparicio seems to be involved with every chance Pacific get.

[jonovision]

Classic Bustos highlight: wide open goal off of a rebound, but just hopeless on his right foot.
