I'd love to go to an Ottawa TFC final. It'll be a good time.
best part of playing the fury would be we get the 2nd leg at home
I figure this is a good place to ask: What's the status on Canadian NASL expansion? I heard rumblings of a team in Calgary and Hamilton. I'd be great to see the Voyageurs Cup expand to 7-8 teams.

Hamilton seems to be aimed at the Canadian Premier League - which CSA announced as under development at the recent AGM.

As far as the Voyageurs Cup expansion, it looks like there will be motion toward an open Cup over the next few years, if the rumours on the V's board are to be believed.

Did JHam get an assist for Osorio's second goal?
I think the commentators got it wrong when they said he "missed" the shot... to me from the angles I saw, he missed on purpose and back heeled it behind himself as if it was a set play.
Anybody got a clear video shot or know if he was in fact given the assist that I think he should get.
TFC website hasn't updated their stats to reflect what happened last night.
Here's the youtube video of the goal: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5_xMwEO5fqM
JHam used his left foot heel to pull the ball back behind him back into the middle of the box. He didn't have a shot, so did the sensible thing.

This game for me seems to have signaled a maturation of the Canadian soccer game going forward.
It was an all Canadian finishing performance and the national team coaches would do well to take note.
Babouli, Hamilton, and Osorio work very well together so PLEASE for the love of all, give them a call up!
Are there full game streams of the two semi games available anywhere? Thanks in advance
When he got his first minutes with CMNT I saw him the next day on the subway and went and chatted him up. At that time there had been some pointless online talk about his background and Jamaica IIRC. A friend of mine played soccer with his dad on a team of Trinis/Jamaicans and I had the impression it might have been a possibility and noted that, asking if he considered playing for anyone else.
He laughed, "Never man - this is my home, and I'm a Toronto boy through and through."
Would be a great story IMO if he is able to stay and get back into a starting XI role.
