Ya - they're doing a spring and fall season. The winners from each season play each other in a final championship game. Soccer is sort of weird that they don't typically have a playoff format for regular season play but apparently this is done in a few other South American leagues. I guess it's a bit of middle ground. There wasn't a pre-season or exhibition as far as I know.

I gotta say, I know nothing about soccer nor do I have that much of an interest, but I watched the game 1 highlights and was pretty impressed. I could see myself checking it out.

The soccer fan base is mostly complementary to the football base, and so I'm glad to see them have a team to embrace. I sincerely hope they do. Great ticket sales to kick this off- I hope they can find sustained success.

I'm excited to see what a successful team will do for the WFC's bottom line. More dates at IGF and butts in the seats means $$.

Canadian Premier League  Match #6
Valour FC vs. FC Edmonton
May 4, 2019  Investors Group Field (6 p.m. ET, 5 p.m. CT)
Watch Live: OneSoccer.ca (Pre-show begins at 5:30 p.m. ET)

Winnipeg will round out the CPL?s historical triple-header Saturday with Valour FC welcoming FC Edmonton in the club?s home opener. Approx 11,000 tickets have been sold thus far prior to the game.

The evening match at Investors Group Field will be FC Edmonton?s first match since 2017 and their first in the CPL.

Despite FCE?s maiden voyage, the majority of attention will be placed on the home side, who return to Winnipeg on a high after winning their inaugural match 2-1 away to Pacific FC on Wednesday. Stephen Hoyle and second-half substitute Dylan Carerro were amongst the goals at Westhills.

FC Edmonton comes in fresh, having seen Valour play and following a short travel day to Winnipeg. Head coach Jeff Paulus promises to play fast, attacking football, using players like winger Randy Edwini-Bonsu and midfielder James Marcelin to stretch play and create chances.

Valour will have another quick turnaround following Saturday?s match, eying a Wednesday away trip to Cavalry FC ( 9 p.m. ET/7 p.m. MT, OneSoccer). The Eddies will have the full week to prepare for their club?s CPL home opener on Sunday, May 12 against Pacific FC (3:30 ET/1:30PT, One Soccer).



KEYS TO THE MATCH

Three at the back, again: Rob Gale trotted out a three-man backline for his teams first match, which made sense if you're trying to neutralize the threat of a point-man like Marcus Haber; but with FC Edmonton's 4-3-3, that formation runs the risk of being overrun by fast, dynamic attackers, of which the Eddies boast, in spades. As such, Gale will need to decide between sticking to what worked the first time, or adjusting to compensate for the additional attackers his side will be facing.
Tomi up top Before laying out his plan, Gale will need to assess who FC Edmonton actually starts up top, though. The Eddies main striker, Tomi Ameobi, missed training on Wednesday with a knock, and Paulus only offered that his inclusion will come down to a game-time decision without Ameobi, Edmonton?s game-plan will need to change, with Randy Edwini-Bonsu likely slotting into centre-forward.
Neutralize Beland-Goyette: So much of Valour's success in midfield against Pacific FC came down to Louis Beland-Goyette?s ability to control possession, turn on a dime, and spread the ball out wide to Michael Petrasso in one clean motion and Edmonton will be aware of that, from the game tape. Making sure Beland-Goyette doesnt have the luxuries of space or time on the ball can be the difference between a no-nonsense attacking stop, or a dangerous situation, developed quickly in transition.

Watched the Valour game on One Soccer last night (they offer a free month). Surprised by the quality of the broadcast. The stream was great, there was a half-time show, the announcers were pretty good and there were multiple camera angles and replays. The game was less good though. Not very organized and very sloppy for large chunks. I guess that's to be expected with a new league and the caliber of players. Still, glad I watched it. Valour lost 1-0 on a direct free kick at around the 85 minute.

Yeah I didnt get to watch it because I was at Stars On Ice at the arena last night but I will agree with the stream, its much better than I thought it would be and their post and pre game shows are very good quality content. For a new league and start up they are definitely on the right track

Cavalry FC 1
Valour FC 0 - FT


It wasn?t pretty, by any means, but it was ultimately effective for Cavalry FC, as Tommy Wheeldon Jr.?s side picked up their second consecutive victory at Spruce Meadows by way of a 1-0 result against Valour FC, with Jose Escalante scoring the only goal of the game in the 86th minute of play to give the Cavs? all three points.

The Honduran winger-turned-forward struck a delicious free kick late in the matc, the first free-kick goal scored in Canadian Premier League history to earn the result for his team in a match that was otherwise dictated by the physical nature of play.

If there were any indications that this match would take on a free-flowing and spacious look, they were quickly dispelled as the two teams swapped fouls throughout 90 minutes,13 in the first half alone, 30 in total.

Valour nearly opened the scoring in the 17th minute, Ali Musse testing goalkeeper Marco Carducci with a strong drive between the two Cavalry centre-backs before shooting on goal, but Carducci made a clean save to preserve the deadlock.

Rather than opening up the play for more efforts of the sort, the rest of the first half was riddled with rough tackles and a first yellow card, to Valour defender Jordan Murrell.

Escalante nearly gave the Cavs a lead in the 47th minute, getting on the end of a quick ball but hitting his shot against the side-netting in agonizing fashion. Valour's Martin Argui-arena responded, in kind, with a hard drive toward Carducci, who dove low to make the reflex save.

But Escalante would not miss his second effort, hitting a left-footed free kick through the Valour wall and past Tyson Farago to give his team a second win out of two to start the 2019 CPL campaign.

Next up:Valour returns to Investors Group Field on May 11 to take on HFX Wanderers FC (3:30 p.m. ET, 2:30 p.m. CT, available on OneSoccer). Meanwhile, Cavalry FC travels to Hamilton to take on Forge FC on May 12 at Tim Hortons Field (1 p.m. ET, on OneSoccer).

Three key performers
Ali Musse (Valour FC)

Ali-The Moose, was all over the forward line for Valour, crafting five shots, three on target, as he attempted to break down the Cavs backline. He was an ever-present threat up top, offering equal measures of pace and purpose in his attacking runs, and was unfortunate not to find the back of the net to cap off that individual effort.

Elijah Adekugbe (Cavalry FC)

Elijah Adekugbe led the pack in passing metrics with an astounding 94% pass accuracy, while also recording seven interceptions in midfield. Executing on those metrics all but shut down Valour's midfield presence at times, and while he'll rue a late yellow card, which may have marred his defensive contributions, he also drew the game-winning free kick.

Marco Carducci (Cavalry FC)

Confident with his feet, and even more confident with his gloves, Marco Carducci made short work of just about every single shot directed his way, looking unshaken despite Valour's free kick attempt, corners, and snaps from distance. His opposite, Farago, enjoyed a similar night up until the 86th minute, but Carducci left the match with a clean sheet to his name.

Sucks about the loss. Good to know Soccer One offers a free month. I was considering subscribing to the season since it's not expensive and supports the league, but I will definitely check out the free month at least. Kind of a lull in sports right now with the Jets out early and over a month away for Bombers.

Canadian Premier League Match #9
Valour FC vs. HFX Wanderers FC

Watch Live: OneSoccer.ca

Saturday's lone Canadian Premier League match sees HFX Wanderers head west once again, this time to take on Valour FC at Investors Group Field in Winnipeg.

The Wanderers are 1-1-0 on the Spring season following a 1-0 loss to Pacific FC on opening weekend and an inaugural home-opening win over Forge FC. Stephen Hart?s side will look to build on the momentum of that win, which saw striker Luis Alberta Perea return from injury to score the late winner at Wanderers Grounds, despite operating at60 to 70 percent.

HFX is on seven-days rest from that 2-1 win, while Valour comes into Saturday?s tilt following 1-0 loss to Cavalry FC at Spruce Meadows on Wednesday. A late free kick from Jose Escalante gave the Cavs that slim victory. Still, head coach Rob Gale was impressed with the defensive performance of his side, which limited the Cavs to just three shots on target, all of which came from outside the box. With three points from three matches, Gale will be looking to turn his side around as the hunt for the 10-game Spring sprint?s CPL Championship berth continues.

This is the final match before the first round of the Canadian Championship, which will send the Wanderers to play League1 Ontario's Vaughan Azzurri at Ontario Soccer Centre in Vaughan, Ont. (7:30 p.m. ET/OneSoccer). Valour, which has a bye in  also has a mid-week CONCACAF League qualifying tilt to look forward to when they head home to host Forge FC at Investors Group Field (8 p.m. ET, 7 p.m. CT/OneSoccer).

KEYS TO THE MATCH

Valour's tired legs: Saturday's tilt is the fourth of five matches in a two week-and-a-week span for Valour, two of which have come on the road (away to Pacific & Cavalry). If tired legs catch up to Gale?s side, they could be in deep trouble against speedy HFX wide players like Akeem Garcia and 'Zoom' Langwa.
Murrell vs. Perea: Watch for Valour captain Jordan Murrell to stick on HFX striker Luis Alberto Perea throughout the match in an effort to neutralize Stephen Hart's crafty, hard-to-handle No. 9. Conversely, if Perea trumps Murrell or Skylar Thomas enough times, HFX could have the edge in what is shaping up to be a tightly-contested affair.
Catch-em on the break: Look for the Wanderers to sit back. They controlled the ball a mere 41% of the time at home against Forge. Away to Pacific, 45%. Valour, being at home, will likely hold possession for long stretches of play just as they did against FC Edmonton. Hart will need to be well-organized in order to get a result.PROJECTED LINEUPS

VALOUR FC 1

HFX Wanderers 0- FT

Here is the full recap.. its was a decent game. Valour really held some possession. HFX I feel had a handful of real good chances saved by the Valour goalie. I am still waiting for teams to break out and show who they really are and am waiting for stars to emerge. Right now it all seems very close..alot of neutral play. Pretty decent crowd (5,800 and change) but with such a huge stadium it sucks energy out of the game with 28,000 empty seats around you. If Valour could even get an average of 10-15k per game it would be a very pro feel.

That's my hope as well. So far their home games have been on Saturday afternoons, but the next two are Thursday evenings. Granted they don't last as long as (the other kind of) football games, but it'll be interesting to see if there's any of the same complaints over having them scheduled on a work night.

current standings after 2 games in second half of the year. Valour opened up with a draw in Edmonton then a loss in Hamilton 3-1 at the hands of Forge

https://canpl.ca/standings/ (https://canpl.ca/standings/)

Tomorrow is a big day for the CPL as the embark on the 2nd leg of the Canadian Championships. CPL teams had supreme outings in the first leg of the championship vs 2 MLS teams, Vancouver and Montreal. York 9 battled furiously vs Montreal Impact and had the game in the bag and won with minutes remaining in a crazy second half. York 9 goaltender made a crucial controversial mistake and gave Impact a PK in injury time letting the Impact tie the game 2-2. The other teams playing were Cavalry and Vancouver Whitecaps. Cavalry had tremendous D in the game and incredible patience. Vancouver had little to no great chances to score in the entire first half. In the second half the teams were very even and towards the end of the game the Calgary based CPL team had enormous chances to steal a goal and win the game but Vancouver held its ground and both teams drew scoreless. The third game saw Ottawa Fury of the USL play Halifax Wanderers of the CPL. Ottawa topped Halifax 3-1 in leg 1. All series are won and lost by goal differential and away goals being the tie breaker.
Im VERY intrigued to see how the CPL teams fair out in this one for the away games.

Im not entirely sure what the CPL has planned for this year with Covid etc. There is not a ton of info. Our Valour FC head coach does however have a great feeling about this year and is waiting for the greenlight to go ahead full speed.  He feels really good about this group and the chemistry and can really see a huge improvement already. Hopefully that will translate on the field

Valour had excellent success in ticket sales for their first season . A season high first game crowd of 9,699. A low of 3,400 and an average around 6,000. I think they have lots of room to grow especially if they put a winning team on the field.

Here is Coach Gayle's thoughts from an article on July 24, 2020

First year Ottawa team up next. Hopefully they get it over mid field. Wade should fire the coach and take over himself.

Valour is currently 2-1-2 and in 5th spot tied with Pacific in points at 4th spot but they have 1 more GF . Top 4 make it to the next round

Valour has its last 2 upcoming games to try and get in the top 4. Wednesday Setp 2 vs Halifax and Saturday Sept 5 vs defending champions Forge FC from Hamilton

I went to the game last night. Bought a family pack which includes 4 tickets, 1 parking pass, 4 hotdogs, 4 bags of chips, and 4 bottled drinks for $106 all in.
Excellent value for that promotion, the atmosphere and the game itself were awesome!

Yes, it's great deal. Our Ukrainian family is big into soccer. We took them to a game and they had a great time.
