An interesting day today for Canadian soccer. It is hard not to read into these match ups.
CPL vs. USL - with the Ottawa saga, this is kind of a statement game not just the clubs, but the leagues. Not being very familiar with Ottawa and USL, it is hard for me to gauge this one, which will make it especially interesting.
CPL vs. MLS - Cavalry and Whitecaps are in different leagues, but are also on different trajectories. Tonight we get to see how a strong CPL team does against a fairly poor MLS side. Cavalry still officially the underdog, but if things go right for Cavs, this could be close especially at home. Vancouver are in shambles right now, so this is as good a time as any for this.
Oh yeah - and York9 and Montreal - meh. Unless Montreal rests practically everyone, I can't see York9 being able to contain them. Anything can happen, but I think this is the one pairing that has a clear favourite.
