SpursFlu Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Why with about 20 seconds left and you win a free kick in their half you play it backwards and not just send one in to the box? I'll never get that king1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

longlugan Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 I will say this about Forge FC...they have something that all other Canadian pro clubs lack...an identity. I'm convinced that Bobby Smyrniotis is one of the best coaches in CONCACAF. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s tough no matter when they have it these top Mexican sides are just very good , what the Leagues Cup showed us was that there are a lot of mediocre Mexican League teams . However , but the top sides like Chivas ,Tigres , Club America and so on are top notch with incredible passionate fans . narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fitness is also no contest. I think Forge could easily have played this team much closer in different conditions, as much as I enjoy watching them lose.

Mihairokov Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Don't want to dwell on it too much but Hamilton had the largest crowd of all five matches this matchweek.

Forge backs were gassed twenty minutes in. Game is much closer if it's played in May. Dom and Belewu were struggling for sure. Thought Belewu looked good until a few minutes before the third goal, had played Cowell well, but then he went over a cliff and looked out of it. It's always interesting to see who can up their game. In the yes column: Jonsson, Belewu, Borges (somewhat, still frustrating at times), Metusala. In the no: Hojabrpour, Samuel, Choiniere, Badibenga. Bekker and Campbell always leave me on the fence. Tavernier looks promising. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I think his results make a pretty compelling case that he does, but sometimes in the season I find myself wishing for a forward pass or a corner into the box.

Hmmm four championships and very respectable results in CONCACAF competitions say otherwise. One of the best coaches in the region...in my opinion.
