The Canadian Men's Soccer Team Thread

Is there only one pbp camera for this game that can’t zoom in?

Is anyone else noticing the audio mix is all over the place? It sounds like my surround speakers are cutting in and out every five seconds.

Look decent and dynamic. Concacaf officiating it seemed. Columbia had some chances late but Canada could’ve had a PKnin first half and inches offside in second half.

Good effort while missing a few guys.

Aus loss wasn’t good but this trends better. Canada has to peak at the right time and get some finish, as thy can hang with most top teams as the last 3 years has now shown.

Oh and Millar sorted out his hair I noticed.

I watched the game on mute (baby) and I can't see how David's goal is offside? What was the explanation?

Shaffelburg's heel was behind the last defender when the headed ball was passed to him. It was frigging close, but I think they got it right. Lame.

If they can pull of a performance like that in the WC and take a point off the world's number 13 team (or push it to extra time in an elimination game), I'll be pretty damn pleased.

I was actually in disbelief watching us whip the ball around for periods against a team like that. Ten years ago we'd win the ball back every 10 minutes, hoof it down the field and hope, then get ready to hang on and try absorb the next attack.

Thought Canada looked a little scrambly at times but overall a good performance. Outside of the disallowed goal I thought David was poor, but I guess if he gets one chance and finishes that's all we can ask for. Buchanan and Kone were outstanding as well.

Really excited to see De Fougerolles step up at CB. Still 3rd in the pecking order but I don't think he'll be 3rd for long.
