mistake in the hfx image as they were missing volesky on the bench...yesli starts in net for ottawa and zapater and salter on the bench...tissot in at lb and de brienne looks like is at wing with bassett dropping to midfield...for hfx you gotta test yesli and go at twardek after what was seen last game from him...for ottawa you see hfx is sending out a lot of very offensive minded players telfer ferrin daniels timoteo probo so you try to catch them on quick counters and also take advantage of the minimum one blunder per game of fillion

Casted the game on to the TV at the brewery and no one has noticed yet

callegari straight red...hoskins strikes again

[phil03]

Red for HFX at 20th minute.

[Ozzie_the_parrot]

That's a bit harsh on the red. He was obviously going for the ball and not trying to injure his opponent. 20 years ago that would have been an indirect free kick for dangerous play with nothing more said on the subject.

[Big_M]

hfx goes to a 4-4-1 with probo dropping to cm

[phil03]

Del Campo make it 1-0 for ATO at the 39th minute.

[Big_M]

del campo makes it 1-0 at 39'

[Big_M]

weak again by fillion...telfer looks super tired and daniels keeps turning it over including on the goal...maybe bring in volesky and or lapare at the break

[Big_M]

nimick heads it off the bar...corners are a big opportunity for hfx...yesli is huge but not controlling his box

[jonovision]

I don't think Halifax can challenge Valour for Wooden Spoon honors, but I do think they have the inside track on 7th.

Easy to tell why Barcelona didn't work out for Ballou Tabla.

[Big_M]

aparicio 0-2 56'

[phil03]

Aparicio put it in at the 56th. IMO ATO should be comfortable going forward.

Now that's too harsh IMO, and I was there for all his shenanigans at the Impact... He might not have the greatest start but its still early and he still enough of a problem for other teams that he free spaces for others.

Really too bad that the league's big success story has such a perennial underachiever of a team. Somebody was very lazy on tracking back on that second goal. No way should Aparicio have that much time and space at the top of the box.

59' zapater in for twardek

Was referring to greedily taking a low percentage shot when he had two team mates square with a wide open goal. He has the athleticism and his ball control is not bad but decision making in situations like that is nowhere near Nou Camp level.

[Big_M]

man fillion is terrible

[Big_M]

64' a single sub lapare in for ferrin who just hit the bar

...in an 8 team league with only six more points than sixth place.

On another completely unrelated subject maybe The Kitchen could be persuaded to keep megaphones away from people who are completely tone-deaf and extremely inebriated if they are going to be mic'd up like this.

probo instead of giving it to a wide open daniels takes a shot right at the keeper
