Yes, Tauro *should* theoretically be a tougher game for Forge. I'd even have the hammers as underdogs here. I can't say I'm an expert on Panamanian football, but I know as much as this: their sides tend to be a coin toss in continental competitions. You can either get a really weak side who just embarrass themselves, or a surprise package such as Arabe Unido in 2016-17 who beat Monterrey home and away, and also Independiente in 2019 who slaughtered Toronto FC. Teams from El Salvador aren't good. I've seen their league a couple times a while back, and the standard is lower then the Canadian Premier League. Barring Alianza who I think could beat any one of our teams, their league isn't great. What is clear to me is that the Honduran and Costa Rican sides are heads and shoulders over everyone else in this competition.

Apparently even the best losing quarter finalists qualify for Champions League. So Tauro is honestly a final boss for Forge. If they win they are in a very good spot. Imagine how gutting it would be for Forge if they reach the champions league and draw blooming Toronto FC 😂

I'm amazed at the chances Forge have to reach the semi-finals. First Tauro, a tough game but not impossible. Then a Haitian/Belizean/Jamaican side. Forge should be winning that. Mind you that semi-finalists qualify for the Champions League.

OMG ONGARO!!!

Losing Ugarriza is when our season died...

Not gonna lie, but I like what I'm seeing for the first time in this tournament. We actually look competent in attack for once.

Telfer isn't the same as last year. Become just another player now.

God I would love to knock out Cavalry. Sadly we have a horrible record against them. Think they are the only team we've failed to beat so far since the inaugural season. They have such an effective playing style. It's horrible to watch and have the antics that everyone hates but that's why they are amongst the best in the league. That's the kind of things that wins you games and championships.

So nervous for this.

Unconvincing again. But we avoided the banana skin for once. Take it and run. I don't think we will get away with losing to Cavalry though, I think we NEED a draw or we're going out, looking at Pacific's last 2. Also think Valour and HFX playing each other doesn't bode well for us. Thankfully they are in poor form but I'm not holding my breath. York 9 has nothing to be confident about.

Best free kick taker in the CPL. Please please please score the 2nd goal. No more of this last minute shite.

Awful, awful awful. I was expecting to hold on given they had 10 and we were a goal up, but we honestly showed nothing. We could have played 200 more minutes and we wouldn't have scored again. I think it's clear that Telfer isn't the same as last year. Don't know what's happened really. Rivero seems to switch on and off but I'm going to keep the faith in him. I've also been unimpressed with that Halley. Edmonton becomes a must now. I hope the boys don't get overconfident. There's nothing to be confident about.

We always struggle against these (barring the 6-2 obviously) and they look way better this season, so it won't be an easy one in the slightest. I missed the last game so I can't say how the lineup performed. I just hope we do enough to win.

I thought he was awful when he was given a chance, but I could see he had something. Just didn't work for him here.
