Apparently the Voyageurs Cup will just be a "finals" game this year, with the CPL champion playing the Canadian MLS team with the most MLS regular season points amongst themselves from August 18 - September 16. Doesn't say if the finals are a one-off or a two-legged affair.

I'm fine with it being a single game this year if we allow the USL League 2 teams and a representative from League 1 BC in next year along with the usual suspects.

I was going to post earlier how I figure everyone is probably cheering for Halifax outside of Forge fans but that it felt pretty inevitable that Forge would win.

That seems even more inevitable now in this second half.

Edit: that last minute goal was... awful.

Incredibly fortunate draw in the CONCACAF League as well. Can't believe Forge will win two separate entrances into the 2021 CCL.

Rowdies fans gonna jinx it by claiming to have clinched Group H whilst Charleston Battery (who we just dropped another three points to at home at Al Lang) still have a game in hand. They just have to beat Loudoun by enough goals....it could happen. It never ends, no matter how well the Rowdies do they never look like a winning playoff team. Not getting my hopes up for the Rowdies to win the Coof Cup. It's a long shot given their current form. :smith:

Edit: My bad. I'm out of the loop apparently; the cancelled Loudoun match with Charleston won't be played so the Rowdies clinched the group when Miami beat Charleston and the Rowdies didn't need to win their final match against Charleston. So we stumble our way into the playoffs in typical 2020 fashion. :bandwagon:

While you all waste money betting against Playoff Louisville, I’d like to draw draw everyone’s attention to Exhibit C that Phoenix is a trash club: Their game winning handball last night, that the refs and the USL are going to just pretend was ok, apparently.
