First of all, let me put all you Forge fans at ease. Sparxy is ok. This was simply a metaphor, and the perennial thorn in the side that is Valour FC is the dragon in question that Bobby's Boys slew. As most Forge fans know, Valour is always a tough nut to crack for the … Continue reading Forge Slays Their Dragon: Beating Valour in Terrordome
With over half the season behind us, most of us are tired of the same worn-out opinions from the Onesoccer commentators and want a fresh opinion on their team. So there was no one better to ask than the fans themselves. I asked one fan from each team in the CPL the exact same 4 questions … Continue reading A CPL Fans Opinion on the State of Their Team
The last time York United travelled to Winnipeg, the conditions were more than unideal with outright brutal heat and humidity. This time around, even without suppressing conditions, it was as if something was chaining York down, even though they won 2-1 over Valour FC. There were, to put it briefly, a few miscommunications and lapses … Continue reading York Takes the Win From Winnipeg, but it was Certainly a “Weird One”
Well, a lot of Forge fans got a little ahead of themselves after the dismantling of York. (Sorry, total dismantling) Forget it, Jake. It’s Valour FC. (Ripped off from the classic Jack Nicholson flick, Chinatown) I’m not saying that Valour FC is practicing witchcraft, but they definitely have some mystical ability to raise their game … Continue reading Forge Vs Valour: An Expected Dip in Results, If Not Form
Usually, when you do this kind of thing, you're looking for an even number of winners as losers, but this season in the Canadian Premier League, there have been far more disappointments than there have positive things happening. You'll notice Vancouver FC has been omitted from this list entirely, and that's mostly because their launch … Continue reading The CPL’s Winners and Losers After 8 Weeks
A muggy, hot day in Winnipeg with the potential of thunderstorms coming certainly made the circumstances strange in York's third match in the past week. The humidity and temperature had shortened some players' fuses and energy levels as the match came to its conclusion as a 1-1, well-fought draw. The ambition from both sides wasn't … Continue reading Brilliant De Brienne Has Valour and York Splitting the Points
Remember last season when it seemed like every single week left the Canadian Premier League with a new leader? It was a lot of fun, right? Well, are you up for a second round of that? So far this season - albeit only three weeks in - that's what we're getting, as you can't really … Continue reading CPL Power Rankings Week 3 – Forge Rise, Ottawa Falls Hard
The second week of the Canadian Premier League season has come to a close, and once again, it was an incredibly interesting week. Here's how things shake down after two weeks, and a Canadian Championship window. 8. York United Last Match: Vs. Vancouver - Loss (1-2) Last Ranking: 7th Average Vote: 8 Next Match: @ … Continue reading CPL Power Rankings Week 2 – York Tumble, Vancouver Gets Club’s First Win
It wasn’t the result either team wanted but if I was Valour I would be happy. Valour managed to salvage a draw against an undefeated Ottawa team, in a cold and empty Winnipeg IG Field. Valour managed to strike first in the 3rd minute of play which knocked the wind out of Ottawa for a … Continue reading Atletico Ottawa and Valour Remain Undefeated
The offseason in the Canadian Premier League is long, but still, it feels like time has flown by after Forge took home the championship at TD Place at the end of October. While the fifth season is now underway, it comes with many changes being made. FC Edmonton is no longer, British Colombia has a … Continue reading CPL Power Rankings Week 1 – Valour Surge, Ottawa Faulter
