dyslexic nam Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 Managed to pull it off. Crazy after conceding twice so late. Sirois made an important save but man that almost crept in. PegCityCam 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I will admit it has been a lot more interesting than I expected. The teams are taking it seriously and for the most part the atmosphere has been good. But I'm still mostly interested in the MLS v Liga MX games the most. The thought of RSL v Seattle or Portland v San Jose bores me PastPros, Ruffian, dyslexic nam and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted July 23, 2023 Share Posted July 23, 2023 I was at the CF Montreal game and the atmosphere was great, lots of Pumas fans there and a wild finish. Entertaining enough I might sneak back on Wednesday but I’m not expecting many DC fans 😀 Watchmen, gator, Kadenge and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thought of RSL v Seattle or Portland v San Jose bores me Yeah, going in I was really interested to see how seriously they all took it. And while we've seen a few youngsters (which is still fine), teams seem to be taking it seriously. You're right, the group stage MLS games definitely hold less appeal though I think the knock out games might be good. Have enjoyed it so far.

Gotta say this season CF has consistently brought the best footy atmosphere in Canada.👏 Edited July 23, 2023 by PegCityCam jonovision and Lurker 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least Portland fans showed up for their all MLS match Saw someone on another forum suggest that maybe they should look at more East/West MLS match ups for this competition, just to give fans some more variety. I don't think that draws as much as the Liga MX games but it might help a bit. Goal_Kick, masster and narduch 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie_the_parrot Posted July 24, 2023 Share Posted July 24, 2023 ^^^normally I just ignore this guy but occasionally it's worth pointing out that the ironic thing in all of this is that he is a TFC season ticket holder while I haven't been to an MLS game in around 15 years. A self-loathing TFC fan might be the best way to describe him given what he posts on here. My crime appears to have been daring to suggest on here back around 2017 and 2018 that MLS and CanPL should work together for the greater good of soccer in Canada because that ran counter to a nationalist agenda some posters have including this poster who ironically enough has told us that he is still a TFC season ticket in 2023 while it's unclear whether he ever actually bothers to actively support York United. For clarity, I'm happy whenever a soccer game in North America fills a stadium regardless of whether that is this preseaon friendly game in New Jersey, Messi making his debut in Fort Lauderdale or a CanPL game in Halifax. I'm not hugely bothered how it happens in a Canadian context as long as our sport actually does succeed as a major spectator event, which is why I would rather see the stakeholders in our domestic soccer scene working together constructively rather than at cross-purposes. Now back to just ignoring him again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
