He gone. Officially official announcement to come soon, I'm sure.

We knew it was happening but it sucks for the team for him to go… but still damn excited for him

Oh okay they don't do anthems and pregame stuff like NHL? Or they do it but just before the listed kick off time?

I'll be pretty tight for time is it worth it getting there early if I can or is it pretty much the teams Come out, line up and kick off?

They try and get the pregame stuff done before.
You don't miss too much of the game day experience showing up just on time. I always like being early so I can have a beer or two before the match, sitting at one of the many patio tables. That said, I could care less to be early for the bands or kids activities ( which I am sure lots of people enjoy, just not me).

They do the anthem, but it's pretty quick and somewhat painless (I'd prefer come out, lineup and then kickoff).

I'd always recommend you get there early if you can. If you can't that's fine too. People are usually still coming in within the first 15 minutes...

Fellas, Which resource are you using to see game day lineups?

The starting 11 is announced 1 hour before kickoff. I use Twitter to look for it at that time.

[shermanator]

@cplsoccer will post lineups 1 hour before the game. It's like clockwork.

[cheevers]

Minor vent: Why is the game at 730? I know it is a half hour later than regular, but for everyone not in the south quadrant it takes forever to get to and from the stadium. Getting home at 1030 or later on a Tuesday night is so annoying.

Anyways, looking forward to the game tonight, anything less than a win would be quite disappointing as York sucks. Zator must just hate his decision to leave everyday.

I can't make it tonight (in Edmonton), so I've got a free ticket in 200 if someone wants it - PM me.

There's an earlier game (Forge v Edmonton) that kicked off at 4:45 Mountain time. Though that leaves almost an hour between games and Onesoccer is showing a "Goals of the Month" episode in between the games so it still doesn't make sense to me why our kickoff is pushed back to 7:30.

Thought I’d catch the first half of Forge - Edmonton before heading down to spruce meadows. What a beat down. 4-0 Forge at half.

I can’t wait until the 27th.

[Swift]

Tommy looking a lot like Mankind from a distance lately.

[shermanator]

Probably shouldn't leave De Rosario alone in the 6 yard box...

[shermanator]

Very frustrating half for Cavalry. Dominant but wasteful in attack. York get one chance and bury it.

Probably time to see Mason in as a sub. Musse not having a great game. I'd swap out Adekugbe for Simmons or Trafford too.

[Muta]

Absolutely frustrating game. How many shots did we have, and ended up being just directly on Giantsopolous? Ughhhhhh.

[Ozy_Flame]

Wtf was that tonight, we lost to York? Who had 10 men? And we had 70% possession AND that's the 2nd loss to them this season?

Musse and Escalante had awful games. No good.

[shermanator]

One of those games where the better team just simply could not win. Cavalry with 73% possession, 13 corners to 0 for York, 19 shots to 5 for York, 6 shots on target to 1 for York. And York scores the only real chance they get all game.

York were happy to park everyone behind the ball and Cavalry just couldn't break them down. Everything just went side to side and nothing came through the middle.

Super frustrating game. Looking forward to watching them in person at Starlight Stadium on Friday.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Well it was a beautiful evening at least!
Frustrating game, shades of last year. Wasted four breakaways!! Four! And no one was willing to play a line breaking pass, just kept going around the outside.

I think Camargo’s brain broke with about 10 minutes left. He’d just get the ball and stand there. Or wouldn’t react to the ball going by him

Game management 101 by York at the end. Can’t fault them for that
