Keytakeaways

• Charlie makes the distinction that Forge won the quarter finals against CF MTL because they were the better team over 180 minutes
• There is a lot of consistency & clarity within this group. Forge have played 8 games this season and a core group of 9 players have played every game. 
• Charlie believes Tristan Borges is player “Better and More Impressive than 2019”
• Aboucar Sissoko has proven to be incredibly versatile, playing many different roles for Atletico Ottawa. He will be a threat to Forge having played with the team in 2023. 
• The draw for the semi final of the Canadian Championship will take place next week. Forge FC’s potential opponents are Toronto FC, Vancouver FC, and the winner of the Pacific v. Atletico match.
