Yup, Cavalry didn't show up against the worst pro club in the country and got knocked out. Forge beat an MLS club in both legs.

Draw for the semifinals is in.

Whitecaps / Valour vs Forge in the first semifinal. Winner of that series hosts the final. Ottawa vs Vancouver in the other semifinal.

Vancouver FC were desperate for a home match against Whitecaps and they didn't get it. RIP

I was momentarily losing my mind when Valour scored late and that match was headed towards penalties. "Could there be 4 CPL clubs in the semi final and Cavalry not one of them?!" No, Whitecaps score and move along. Now hopefully they dispatch of Forge and Vancouver beats Ottawa so they get their Lower Mainland derby

Exceedingly disappointed. They were awful in Langley and not much better in Calgary. Squandered a fantastic opportunity with 2 of 3 MLS clubs out of the picture and having favorable draw with the worst CPL team.

Watch Forge win the Cup and forever gloat over us as the first CPL side to win it.

Side note, loved watching my kids freaking out over PKs like it was Croatia in a major tournament final. They were 100% invested. I'm pretty sure that is the first professional PK shootout I've ever attended.

I hate shootouts. It doesn't matter who I'm cheering for, it's a guaranteed loss.

Shootouts are almost more fun at the CPL level because the shooters and goalies have such variety in quality.

Warschewski is proving to be streaky. 6 games without a goal right now. As long as he gets hot in October / November it's all good.

The cavs are getting too cute around the box. against Ottawa they could have hammer 2-3 goals in if they didn't pass once too often.

Feels like a terrible missed opportunity
I wouldnt be so sure about that.

I know you have a hate on for the guy. I don't know him as well as you do, but his track record would indicate otherwise for this statement. He's done a hell of a job with the Cavs, and he did so with Foothills as well.

Hey man...I'm doing my best here to support a local team that I like, despite harbouring a grudge, gimme a break!

How does this league survive after next season? I don't see it. It looks like there are maybe sixty people in the stands on a perfect weekend evening for football.

I think most of the fans are on the camera side, but attendance has not been good for them.

You’d think they’d position the cameras or people on opposite sides to make things look more full.

Mezquida sent off. These are going to be a big 30 minutes for Cavalry to get 3 points.

We are really lacking any creativity or drive forward from our midfield. Tobias has to drop deep to provide the creativity, but he’s also the only real goal threat.

Vancouver down to 10 now, hopefully we can find a goal.

Not a great job by the Cavs so far despite having the extra man.

Still 4 minutes of stoppage time. Hopefully they can find a goal here

Goal scoring seems to have really dropped off.
