Forge FC did THIS against Ottawa for the 1st time in club history.. (BTB, S2E9)

Season 2 episode 9 of Behind the Beard! In this weeks episode, Mackenzie and Coach Bobby discuss the events of last Friday’s 4-3 loss to Atletico Ottawa, preparing for Vancouver, and balancing the semi-final of the Canadian Championship. Coach Bobby shares his Canada Day plans (or lack thereof) & they get into some themed trivia!

Key takeaways 

Coach Bobby emphasizes the need for Forge to maintain focus throughout the game, particularly to avoid conceding goals from set pieces early on.

In the absence of Borges and Bekks, Daniel Parra stepped up in central midfield against Atletico Ottawa. Coach Bobby noted that he made some positional adjustments at halftime, helping Parra understand his role better.

Coach Bobby and Forge prioritize securing a maximum of 3 points in each game, rather than focusing on their position in the standings.

The club's immediate priority is the upcoming game against Vancouver FC, with preparation for TFC to begin after Friday.

Coach Bobby will pass an easy Canadian themed Trivia Game..
