The CSA does realize this game needs to be played before the first round of the CCL, right? And that the CCL begins in almost exactly 1 month, right? And that it would be nice for the teams to have a...

At this point maybe best to play it the weekend before MLS starts. That would give both teams time to prepare.

This doesn't make a lot of sense. Who said it would be for free?

They shared the Island Games with CBC, so obviously they were able to find some sort of financial arrangement that made sense for...

Yes, but they could have shared it like they did the Island Games with CBC.

Yeah, they should have played it in Hartford. They could have put it on TSN. I assume it would have drawn at least 100k viewers. Get some sponsorship. Would've been better than nothing.

They really should have played this game last year. Now who knows when/where they're going to be able to do it. I honestly think it should just be at BC Place ASAP so they don't have to worry about...

Is the game in Haiti?

Good point - hadn't thought of that.

Ah, I see. Interesting. Thanks.

I thought only the winner of the CL got a spot in the CCL ...?

Depends on if they can fit cameras inside at decent angles. Since it's going to be a purely televised experience, it has to be watchable.

Sure, I know we've seen it before – but as you say, it's pretty much always been a bad idea.

I would hope saner heads prevail here.

But the only other option then is Olympic Stadium, right? (Unless they literally play it under a bubble at the training ground). The turf there is way worse than BC Place.

Seems like they're going ahead with the CONCACAF league, so Forge is still going to be playing for (conceivably) the next few months.

In this context, playing the Champ. Final in Dec or Jan is...

I know. But I disagree. I think they should play it as soon as possible.

Play it in Hartford as soon as realistically possible.

Waiting until Dec or Jan is completely unfair to Forge.
