I assume they'll have Dunfield do color, who adds very little color to the game, just clichéd and getting excited over odd things.
No chance Reed does the Finals.
As for cards tonight, Mal Hamilton and Buscher, so we are in the clear. Does Samuel miss a leg now with that red, or just the next game? Did he get a red because it means missing the next game, whereas an accumulated yellow would mean thr 14 d wait and miss leg 1?
Anyways, nice to wrap up the 2nd half title with a win at home Saturday.

Wheeler is by far the worst PBP guy I have heard on One Soccer. Often I watch the games on mute because of him. He is really good as a host but is just terrible at PBP. Far too much editorializing the play, he gets names wrong, and he talks constantly about everything shown on screen. I hope I get to meet him on the 1st because I would really like to politely tell him that people really can't stand his calls.
Everyone else on One Soccer is decent enough, but not special. I prefer Reed out of the rest because there is just a calmness about his call. Jenkins and Petrillo are decent as well. If it were me, Gareth Hampshire would be the lead guy as I've always loved his PBP, but he works for the Wanderers. It's a shame One Soccer moved away from calling the games live as they had access to a better PBP group.
As for the suspensions. Samuel misses the first leg of the finals as it was a double yellow. Cisse also misses the first leg of the finals due to yellow card accumulation. No one that I know of for Cavalry is missing either leg yet.
