Canadian Soccer Part III

[Bures Elbow]

Our attack is decent, but our defense and midfield still isn't up to par compared to the top tier in concacaf.

When Eustaquiao is your best mid you got issues....guy couldn't even get on the bench of a weak Portugals u21 generation a few years back.

That's my biggest worry, our attackers wont get the ball enough against USA/Mexico/Costa Rica.

Deceptively competitive game tonight for Canada. I still expect you guys to go handle them, but Suriname has quite a few dual-national gems for the CONCACAF level.

Yeah, it's definitely less straightforward than the past group games have been. Need to come out firing and not let up like the Haiti Gold Cup game.

I'm only worried about Suriname tonight but i take your point.

 

[Tuggy]

I'm not overly nervous about tonight. Could be a little tricky but I'm expecting a fairly straight forward win.

Haiti awaits the winner in the second round. 1st leg June 12th and 2nd leg June 15th.

 

[Tuggy]

First cap for Kennedy tonight I think.

 

[robertmac43]

Alright lads, let's get this!

 

[3 Minute Minor]

Now i would never ask for a stream because that's against the rules... but my DMs are open

 

[robertmac43]

Borjan making me nervous from the first minute!

 

[wingman75]

Ouff, we're giving up some nice looks early. We need to get on the attack here.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I watched Union Berlin 5 or 6 times this year. Becker is capable. Didn't always start but was effective.

 

[wingman75]

Oh!! C'mon!! damn

Definitely the kind of player that can burn you when you let your guard down.


Wow David miss and then off the post form Laryea

 

[wingman75]

I wish Larin's first touch was a little softer...

 

[wingman75]

GOAL!!!!

 

[wingman75]

He looks like he took a real hard shoulder to the head there...

 

[Tuggy]

Davies!

Cheap shot after...

 

[robertmac43]

Davies does really well there. Hopefully, he is good to continue playing here.

 

[PanniniClaus]

That was a head shot

 

[PanniniClaus]

Donk plays a hard man role in Turkey...i hope they burn him for a few more.

 

[robertmac43]

And Davies is okay - thank goodnes!

 

[Mathew]

Yep glad he's ok

 

[wingman75]

Man, I love how Richie plays. Question the no card decision there.

 

[robertmac43]

You can tell the team needed some time to settle in as a unit. They are starting to look better as the half ends.

First 5 were good... adrenaline!

Second 10 were scary!

They look comfortable now. Has this lineup ever played together before? I doubt it.
