Ams1984

Bye everybody! I’m signing off. The politicization of this league has become unbearable. I’m going to cancel my season tickets and find something else to spend my money and time on. I genuinely wish you all nothing but the best.

He really is a workhorse. I think he’s under appreciated by a lot of people, probably because he’s not a flashy player, but his contribution on the field is substantial.

Wow... that’s fantastic news! Any idea how many viewers the match got?

Oh dear... let’s hope not 😕

Wow... Halley is tearing it up!

Where in the world is Carmen San Diego... I mean Gabriel Vasconcelos! I get that he wasn’t stellar in game one, but to have not seen him since is a bit odd.

I think that there are lots of good Canadians in the CPL, but it’s not so much about who is the best Canadian in the CPL... it’s more about who is the best Canadian in the CPL at a position that the CMNT needs filled. I really like Gasparotto, Abzi, and Aparicio, but I’m a Y9 fan, so... of those three? Abzi has the best chance of making the national team because of the fact that he’s a left back. I’d also say that any good GK in the league has a shot.

The problem for Babouli is that the CMNT is absolutely stacked up front right now! I can’t see him making the 23 man squad.

Aparicio is a lucky boy with that tackle... he’s already on a yellow.

Is it just me, or does Aird kind of resemble a young Steven Caldwell?

Is Vasconcelos injured? Why wouldn’t he come in for Petrasso?

Does this mean that they are getting rid of that stupid running track?

Yeah, that looks like a pretty good lineup

I’m on the same page with you there. I think it should be a 4-2-3-1, maybe something like this: Ingham Doner - Thompson - Gasparotto - Abzi Murofushi - Aparicio Vasconcelos - Ferrari - Telfer Rivero I’m not sure about the CAM spot, but I like what I’ve seen from Ferrari so far.

This one really is a must win for York 9 now. They’ve looked solid enough, but they’ve lacked that incisive attacking play in the final third. In a way, it’s pretty similar to what they were doing last season. I’m hoping that once the new guys settle in (hopefully in time to make a dent this season) that will turn around. I haven’t seen enough of Vasconcelos to really have an opinion on him, but Rivero looks good. That finish last game was top level stuff. He’s also got a great work rate, so I have high hopes for him.
