0-0 at the half, but what a top of the table marquee matchup looks like. I respect the heck out of both these sides. This is solid all over the pitch. Keeping, passing, defending. Well done. #ForgeFC #CavalryFC

Forge is heading to yet another Final. This time it’s for all the marbles versus an old foe. (No it isn’t Cavalry) Let’s go to Montreal!!! share.google/g4U0M10NCcsZ...

Forge are heading to the Finals! Forge advances over a very game Supra side. What a joy to be a fan of a team that takes you on so many of these big rides. #ForgeFC #CanChamp #SupportLocalSoccer

ADVANCED ✅ Forge FC qualify to the TELUS #CanChamp final and will play for the Voyageurs Cup for a 2nd time 🛠️

This would be a massive vote of confidence in the HFX Wanderers experience in Halifax. But it would also be a huge investment in the game in Canada: pro men’s, pro women’s and in youth soccer too. #SupportLocalSoccer

New: Reaction from today’s @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social presentation to HRM council, including from @hfxtidesfc.bsky.social, Halifax Lancers and more. Latest for @thechronicleherald.bsky.social.

I’m kinda tired of the “it’s clumsy” or “no intent” so it’s not a foul from pundits. There is no mens rea in football! 😂 #PitchesNotCourtrooms #CanPL

Jeremovic is killing me early! *breathe #ForgeFC #Ottleti #CanPL

A little preview to get fans ready for tonight’s Forge vs Ottleti tilt. share.google/tDkU9bMAQCPE...

Hey, it’s been a while but I’m getting back into writing. Here’s a longer piece about how good we have it in our CanPL right now…and what’s gonna make it better! #CanPL #SupportLocalSoccer hammerofsparx.com/going-good-a...

It was weird when KJ trashed Toronto signing Badibanga as a “disaster” but went out of his way to point out Bassett’s injury woes Badibanga has 3 assists & created 16 chances (7 big) in 13 MP (7 starts) after a full year off Bassett in 18 MP (9 starts) has 0 assists & less chances created

I know TFC won this weekend so they’ll be fine, I’m sure. 🤷🏾‍♂️ But seeing Petrasso to Owusu as he climbs the Golden Boot ladder just seems so Toronto. (Seeing a solid Matty Longstaff appearance was nice too. A smiling Greg Vanney after the match was a bit too much salt in the wounds though 😀🥲)

This kinda stuff saps me: MLS feels so “synergistic paradigm shift from a investment perspective” Where’s the romance? Wine and dine me a little Promise me promotion Some football on the continent Make me feel a part of your club, not like a dude who needs to scroll shareholder meeting minutes

#CanPL day! Red hot VFC got spanked by ATO & is facing an HFX side entering must-win territory Cavs vs ATO at home, last year ATO owned Cavs, this year-opposite End the day w/ league leaders Forge FC vs lowly PFC (potentially a banana skin) I’m not leaving the home bar today! 🍻 Who ya got?

How Cavalry FC hasn’t found at least 1 goal yet is mystifying They have created a lot of chances Definitely showing they can hang with the best in Canada But they’ll feel disappointed not to have them a little more on the ropes (Of course VWFC probably should’ve scored too) Good match #CanChamp

I'm so disillusioned, I almost don't even care who gets the FIFA Peace Prize next year

And intriguing read about growing the game in Canada with a fully Canadian top flight, MLS included. I usually think this stuff is unnecessary pipe dream material. But some solid arguments and well-reasoned points here from a guy in the know. open.substack.com/pub/sellingh...

Hear me out @hfxwanderersfc.bsky.social ‘s fans. Sign free agent Kunle Dada-Luke - He bombs down the wing with speed - He can defend top wingers - Has CPL exp - Gets the crowd ‘fired up’ - An excellent story arc - ‘the guy you love to hate’ becomes ‘the guy you just love’ Thoughts? #HFXWanderers

Hey, coming up w/ your own feelings about your fave CPL side’s hard Besides, can you be trusted? You’re biased, busy & distracted. Plus you likely struggle being honest w/ yourself Let the HammerOfSparx take the wheel Here are your feelings (for all 8 teams) 👍🏾 #CanPL share.google/Y6NqsY1fD8sf...

Nothing but respect for ATO tonight. Well done. Knocking out MLS sides is special. Ottleti hasn’t looked great so far in league play, but this may be the spark they need (Also TFC is a terribly run and coached side)

Time to relegate TFC

Look out #CanPL Nana’s back! 🔥🧡⚒️ #ForgeFC

Forge look so good so far this season. And but for a questionable penalty call, would still be perfect defensively. #CanPL

Bring on those Wanderers! Forge is out in my favourite stadium, and I am at my new favourite bar! C’mon you Forge! #CanPL

Skubi-doo-bi-two Skublak is on a brace! (I’ll see myself out!) #ITOATO (By the way…doesn’t the league understand that ATO is the best?!)

Top notch finish! Top notch celly! Tomasz Skublak! #ITOATO

👏 the latest episode of @downthepubpod.bsky.social Tough loss to a very impressive Supra side And it doesn’t get any easier with @forgefchamilton.bsky.social on the horizon #FindAntoTheCure (And don’t hold your breath for my salty Hamilton tears out east, 😂) open.spotify.com/episode/6rL0...

One-seventh of the way through the season seems like a logical place to assess whether or not Forge are destined for a return to Cup-lifting or not, right? #ForgeFC share.google/g5EcOmKKHZye...

I know it is early in the year, but for Ottawa fans it has to be a bit nervy. They just played easily their best match of the season and that resulted in a draw versus the last place team in the league. 😬 #CanPL

I am watching the Saints in an FA Cup Semi-Final! Don’t pinch me! #Saints

FIFA doesn't give a fuck if you can't afford to go to World Cup. Support local soccer instead. You can buy a ticket to CPL, NSL or PSLC for a fraction of the price. Do it. #canpl #northernsuperleague #premiersoccerleaguescanada

Supra du Quebec are exciting to watch!

World Cup is around the corner Political activist me is miserable The (🇨🇦) Soccer fan me is tingling Things are gonna get very hypocritical with me shortly, so here is a piece to get some stuff out of my system before I don’t do anything about it 😂😭 #WorldCup hammerofsparx.com/the-beautifu...
