Absolute domination by Canada over a decent Romanian side in Romania. Was not expecting anywhere near that so pleasantly surpirsed.
Kone played well but the temper tantrum after being subbed out is unacceptable. He is at a crossroads in his career where he can't fall back on his talent anymore and he needs to learn to be a professional. He's already been dropped by Marseille, has not started well at Sassuolo and is no longer first choice in midfield with Canada.
Thought Crepeau was fantastic. He has almost always done well with the national team regardless of poor club form. I've never really bought into the idea that St Clair is the #1.
Eustaquio is leaving camp for precautionary reasons and returning to Porto. I would imagine we will see a midfield of Sigur and Saliba or Choiniere for the next game. I don't know if I see Sigur starting the first game of the World Cup just yet but it's trending that way.
De Fougerolles was tremendous again and I think we have a real stud on our hands at CB.
Would love to see Marshall-Rutty make an appearance on Tusday against Wales. He'll never live up to the "next Davies" hype he had when he was 15 but he's a solid player having a great season with Charlotte and I think he can work as a depth option at fullback if needed.
