Olympique_de_Marseille Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) Since this thread:https://www.canadiansoccernews.com/forums/topic/78160-jan-30-canada-vs-us/ was almost exclusively about tickets, it's time to start the actual match thread!

USA in second yet Mexico's chances are slightly better than USA. I don't get it. Oh wait it must be because the USA still has one more game to play against Canada.

Mexico's remaining schedule is very favourable - 4 of its last 5 matches are at home and its only away match is Honduras. Wouldnt be surprised to see them crack 29+ points when its all said and done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rydermike Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Since we can only dress 23 players, assuming Eustaquio and Kaye are back in the lineup, who gets dropped from the 23? If injured, Piette is obvious, if he's not then who? I'm assuming there's some fifa rule that requires three keepers so Leutweiller can't be dropped from the 23. I'm thinking it'd be Gutierrez and Kennedy, assuming they'll switch up the CBs. We have so few midfielder that none of them will be dropped apart from Piette if injured narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 The players that repeat for sure are Borjan, Johnston, Adekugbe, Tajon and David. As long as none of them have a knock and need a rest. I think Kennedy will also, as he's in season and not on a card. I hope we see Osorio, Kaye and Liam Miller in this one. Doubts: three-man back or 4? If four, Vitoria repeats or does Henry get a call? Also: who accompanies David, if anyone, up high? I would not mind a line-up with more bodies in the midfield. I don't know the US well enough, but I'd put Tajon up against whichever back they think is more vulnerable. If Eustaquio can get in, he'd take one of the middle spots.

I think Tajon would be more likely of the two but could definitely see Larin paired with Ugbo/Cavallini. I too really want Millar to get a start. I think he deserves it. johnyb, JamboAl and TOcanadafan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millar-David-Tajon Sam-Osorio-Kaye-Layrea Kennedy-Vitoria-Johnston Borjan I don't see us playing a 3-4-3 against the USA. Would leave us too susceptible. I see us deploying a 4-3-3, or maybe the revolving 3-5-2 but still, this will be a midfield game. ----------------------David------------------------ Millar---------------------------------------Buchanan -------Kaye------------Osorio--------Eustaqiuo----- Adekugbe----Kennedy--------(Johnston lol) ----Laryea -----------------------Borjan-------------------------- - I'm praying Staq is available for this game. - I don't think Vitoria will be suited for this game for several reasons. The speed of their attackers and midfield, and pitch attributing to that. Reason why I put Johnston unrealistically there....but what if lol. Henry could start only to do what he did to Lozano to do to Pepi and come right off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theaub Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 (edited) My guess: Borjan, Laryea, Johnston, Henry, Miller, Adekugbe, Kaye, Osorio, Eustaquio, Millar, Larin I have no idea if Henry is anything close to match fit...I think we play 3-5-2/3-4-3 though either way. e: the other somewhat creative move I could see is Laryea at LWB and Buchanan at RWB if Adekugbe can't go two in a row.

narduch Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 Seeing complaints on Twitter from American fans that this game is going up against the NFL. All I have to say is fuck them. By the way the game time is genius by Herdman and his staff. It allows them to fly into Florida after the game and land at a reasonable time. chalms04, Stryker911, Approve My Account Pls and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Selfishly I'd love for the game not to conflict with gridiron football...but the game has to be in the afternoon IMO you gotta try and play it in the warmest time of day on the weekend narduch and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have been a little sad if the Bills won Sunday and these games ended up being in direct conflict. But instead it was significantly worse than that so uh yeah. Corazon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
