I know this team tends to start slowly, but we'd better flip the switch pretty sharpish.

Well then, they listened to me, but I wish they'd...never mind, whatever they're doing, it's working.

Amazing

 

That's all I got

Petrillo "sorting out their feelings". Great line, as the one woman on the show talking about a bunch of dudes acting like babies.

Judging by the way the other two were dressed she was the only one in the booth with any balls

We aren’t talking about the Borjan game winning save enough.  That makes two times this round with the Honduras game 1 end of game save.

I can't tell you how many times over the past 20 years I have heard, "We need to play this ~Central American team~ in the middle of the Prairies in the winter for World Cup qualifying" after each game that we have played in the scorching afternoon heat of said ~Central American team~.

Well, this is the window where everyone is finally getting their wish.  One down, one to go.

Can I quote myself?  😃

I think it should have been called a hand ball by the Mexico player. Either way, Borjan rules.

What a night for Canada soccer fans and canada in general. These guys inspiring so many right now! HUGE WIN

[Wingback6]

What a game. What a team. The greatest part of all of this, (aside from the actual football) is that friends, family, and even coworkers are taking notice in a way they never have since I began following the nats over a decade ago.

The number of people in this thread who seem to have only negative things to say... laughable.

These people just can't seem to enjoy the moment. Unfortunately, that's par for the course on most forums.

It's just so difficult to process.

We beat Mexico. We're top with 6 games left. Undefeated. Well coached. Squad togetherness. Nationwide coverage. 50k tickets sold.

It's too much. I can't handle it.

Yeah, well Astroboy is talking about that game in Honduras... 

I was 'this close' to give up being a pacifist, reach through my computer and punching that bastard in the face.

The real question is….

 

Did anyone sing that dean Martin song for Phonzie?

 

 

[Watchmen]

I'm getting texts from co-workers who don't normally like soccer saying "that was great" and my response is just "yup, it was. Don't expect them all to be like that. But that was great."

Pretty sure you’ll find everyone in here enjoyed the moment. 
 

Lots of different opinions and thoughts, some good and some bad, but as you point out that is par for most forums. Especially match threads.

I remember people being concerned that Bermuda had Nahki Wells and being so relieved that he didn't show up.
