Lots to talk about in this episode of Forge Daily! Today, Mackenzie discusses Forge FC’s draw against TFC for the Canadian Championship semi-final, Part 2 of the Pro Combine, and tomorrow’s 905 Darby vs. York United. We hear from Kyle Bekker, Ale Hojabrpour, Assistant Coach  Kyt Selaidopoulos and Senior Manager of Business Development, Tom Walker. 

Key Takeaways:

• The TFC matchup will be a good opportunity for Forge FC to turn the heads of fans who typically drive to BMO field to watch soccer in the GTA.
• Ale & Bekks suggest they have a blueprint to beat York based on previous matchups in 2024
• York United are in search of a new head coach which can “galvanize a group.”
• Energy will be crucial tomorrow. Players have to move off the ball and make runs in behind.
