WCQ: Canada vs Mexico - Tuesday, Nov 16, 9pm EST / 6pm Pacific - Edmonton

That goal wasn’t a Memo error wheeler shut up, he literally could not handle what was a great strike from Johnston

[Shway]

Letsss fucckinggggg gooooooo

[vancanman]

As the late, great Howie Meeker would say, "You gotta shoot the puck."

[Varsity Tyler]

Get. The. Fack. In.

Scrappy. I love it.

[The Beaver 2.0]

Alistair is one helluva player!! Great shot; great finish by Larin.

[rydermike]

What a play by Johnston. Out of a nothing play

[rydermike]

Honestly such a smart shot by Johnston. It's cold. Reactions are slower. Rebounds more likely when it's cold and reactions are slower. Test the keeper

[Mattd97]

I kept saying just get me to 45. Esp on their corner. Then I thought 3 minutes was crazy, cause I just wanted to get to 45. Now I think 3 minutes was just right

[Acid-Tone]

Holy shit! 

Alistair comes through with the aggressive ball win and shot to set Larin up!  

That was beatifull.

[Mattd97]

Pucks on net!

[Unnamed Trialist]

Well that was an amazing end to that half. 4am here where I am.

Johnston coming from the left midfield, great poach by Larin.

Refs been fair and a bit over the top. But better for us, at least he's consistent. Let's get some continuity on the ball though. Glad they subbed out Henry, sorry to say. 

Odd how they attacked up their left and Laryea and Johnston were not there to cover, have to watch that.

The cold is not having the effect I thought, but the pitch is mediocre.

You can’t win the lottery if you don’t buy a ticket.  ⚽️

Adekugbe and Johnston have been two of the better players in the first half (also Hutchinson, for me). And the only two in short sleeves. Coincidence?

[trc2014]

Someone post the Johnston dancing gif please

[canuckgbp]

23 fouls and 2 yellows in that first half lol.

O Canada, 

Oh Wheeler, shut up

[Lansdude]

Johnston is a big game player, not afraid to go balls to the wall. Hitting those long balls and charging into the middle. Seems to be relishing taking on Jimenez too.

 

[rydermike]

Hope Marcelo Flores is watching and smiling

[Floortom]

There's another goal to be had in the second half...Mexico is going to push hard. We cant sit back for 45 minutes - need to keep being brave

[Floortom]

Mexico had no shots in the first half - first time in the last three qualifying campaigns that has happened to them

[An Observer]

Mexico will have to come out in the second half which gives us a good chance to expose them.  And we have David, Millar, Osorio, Ugbo on the bench.

I’m hoping Mexico pushing for one opens them up to one of our strengths - counter attacks. I hope Davies gets his chance to run at them with some space. Buchanan too.

Johnston is gonna have a long career. Smart, gritty, big game baller, gives no fucks. Sure, maybe he drinks the blood of newborn babies before each game, but I love how he plays.
