2019 Cavalry FC season thread

[shermanator]

Pretty big praise for the Spruce Meadows crowd from Steven Sandor.

I have been to Canadian Championship games at BMO Field and BC Place. I’ve seen the Impact play at home in the CONCACAF Champions League.

But, in terms of atmosphere, the fans at Spruce Meadows really made a Cup night in Calgary a special, special thing — unique in Canadian soccer. When Cavalry walked out, and an entire stadium belted out “Caval-RY, Caval-RY, Caval-RY,” the goosebumps were soon to follow. The crowd was boisterous throughout, urging on every chance, cat-calling at every whistle. It was everything you could have hoped for in this very unique venue.

One of the reasons Cup nights are so special is because of the atmosphere that comes with a winner-take-all affair. And in an era where Cup games are often met with lukewarm receptions in MLS venues, Cavalry reminded us what a midweek game is supposed to feel like.

The poor lady when I called her was flustered. Could not have been a fun day at work.

I'm so nervous I'm not going to get a seat for some reason, maybe I need to double up my CBD haha

[Muta]

It looks just dead at York Stadium today, good lord

[Slava]

I think that was a handball by the Y9 keeper at ~38 minutes?

Otherwise, pretty solid half for the Cavs and hopefully they can pot a couple and cruise home in the second half.

[Slava]

And now it's just a circus....ref has completely lost control.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Escalante gets a straight red for something? The announcer is saying a punch but I didn’t see it on the replay and they’re not showing it again

[Thunderball]

And just like that, a decent game is totally ruined. Why are these refs such garbage? Totally ruined this match.

[The Big Chill]

Escalante is such a poop disturber

[Thunderball]

Oh look, all 12 York9 fans are excited...

[Ozy_Flame]

Mavila off now, two ejections.

[The Big Chill]

Down to 9. If we lose any more York might almost have a chance against us!

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Oh boy.

That said I still fancy us two men down. Id be stunned if York9 finishes with 11 men. Telford is gonna get another booking for sure

[jayswin]

Does anyone know if CBC is planning to air the finals?

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The nice thing is this pitch is so narrow it’ll be tough for York to use the width to stretch the Cavs

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Yessssssssssss

NICOOOOOOOOOO

Suck it York

[Thunderball]

GOALLL!!! Suck it ref! Suck it York!

[Kipper is King]

Nico Pasquotti! Oh, wow!

[Thunderball]

I'm surprised Pasquotti didn't get a card for scoring... this referee shouldn't get a U6 game after tonight. How Ledgerwood's contact was a foul, let alone a yellow, is beyond me.
