Certainly is nice to have some real optimism about the squad. Davies (knock on wood) looks to be the real deal. Hopefully he's just the first wave of some new kids coming through the ranks.
I was only able to watch the first half, but I thought the back line really struggled to keep up with the pace of the Jamaican strikers, as well as their size. They lost a lot of balls in the air on goal kicks/long balls from the back, which put a lot of pressure on the back line.
Canada did look like the better team overall though, from what I saw. It's nice to see the other team sit back and let Canada knock the ball around, rather than the other way around. Keep controlling the ball and good things are going to happen more often than not. Just happened to be the latter in this one.
