Match Thread: April 23, 2023 - Pacific v Cavalry

[narduch]

Game is at 1pm PT (4pm ET) on One Soccer and Fubo. 

The clubs met earlier in the week in the Voyageurs Cup. Pacific advanced on penalties

Hopefully Aparicio is okay to go today. If TMG and Vliet are also starting I think Pacific is in good shape.

I'm guessing Cavalry fields a similar starting XI to their first two games.

why are there so many empty seats? bad weather? too much soccer for a week?

[Ozzie_the_parrot]

Was stunned by that as well when I started streaming. It's back to a 2019 season sort of crowd level. They had that issue then of numbers falling away in a big way when a series of games came in quick succession.

I'm stunned it took more than 3 posts before the crowd was commented on.

3 games in a week. Bad forecast. I bet there are still close to as many as any other CPL games this weekend though

Cavalry goal came out of nowhere. I think Pacific will dig there way out of this

this game was the faking show lol

Another poor game between these two teams. Right at the second half kick-off Kobza takes down Reid who was trying to run past him to press. This was while Reid was a good 10 m away from the ball. What kind of soccer is this?

No, not exactly easy on the eyes.

Has to be said, in these early days of the season Cavalry aren't exactly looking gang-busters are they?

You could say that. You could also say that they've taken points on the road against the likely two other best teams in the league (I'm not a big Ottawa believer).
