I still am not convinced that match is going to go ahead as scheduled. Weather for tomorrow in St. Paul is forecast to be significantly worse than Edmonton was. I don't think they will lose either. But man playing in that weather will be BRUTAL! I would not be surprised if they win or lose. Plus everyone wants to beat the USA. They are not loved down south. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metro Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 ^^ The worse that weather gets, the more likely the unlikely becomes. Good luck scoring goals in -10F Zardes and Pepi. Shway, narduch and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sponsor banner on the left is for an Oakville stucco company. That looks like those who did not get minutes vs. the US and were doing a more complete training session with Herdman, those who played would have done a recovery session. I assume it was shot on Monday. They trained here in Oakville. https://www.oakville.ca/culturerec/pine-glen.html Unnamed Trialist, youllneverwalkalone and TGAA_Star 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

umpiredice Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 6 hours ago, Cblake said: It’s plausible but will take a lot to happen for Canada to punch their ticket to Qatar on Wednesday night. If Canada wins and gets three other results to go their way, they will qualify for the FIFA World Cup for the first time since 1986. Canada will clinch a spot in the World Cup on Wednesday if all of the following happens, keep your fingers crossed. Canada wins in El Salvador Panama loses in Mexico USA loses at home to Honduras Costa Rica does not win (loss or draw) in Jamaica If all of that happens, Canada would have seven wins, no losses, and four draws, for a total of 25 points. That would put them out of reach of Costa Rica, and one of USA or Panama, as those two countries play each other on March 27. I just put $5 on that set of results. If they happen, I'll win $291.

Not that there were big consequences but I think that he is constantly learning and improving. There were a couple of instances in the past where he might have let a bit of into slip when silence was probably the better option (one example was when he admitted that Staq's second yellow was intentional a while back). It seems like that sort of thing gets corrected with Herdman. One thing I really appreciate about him is the fact that he seems to be constantly learning. At first it seemed a little off-putting insofar as it suggested me might not have the skillset we wanted right out of the gate, but it doesn't seem like he makes the same mistake twice. And given where the rest of his management skillset is at now (as evidenced by our results) it is great that he is still learning and improving. Bodes well for the future. mowe, An Observer, youllneverwalkalone and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The pitch is warmed by 27.5 miles of heating tubes and it is estimated that the pitch will be approximately 50-60 degrees fahrenheit. https://scgfields.com/news/minnesota-united-allianz-field/ Me thinks the likes of Dest, Pulisic, Elis, Lozano, etc. will find excuses to lie down tomorrow, especially to get out of the wind. Should also mean the ball isn't a rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

N1ckbr0wn Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 (edited) Maybe we see a good amount of rotation, fringe guys get some minutes and finally a David/Ugbo partnership up top?

What do you guys think? I think you'll see Larin start up top over Ugbe. The latter didn't impress on Sunday and the former had a relatively free ride. I don't think the USMNT tackled Larin once. I also think you'll see Buchanan and Laryea on the flanks. Idea is to get a lead at half, make 4 subs and park the bus. Pretty sure Milan will feign some injuries tonight. Love it!

Ugbo did fine, he was directly responsible for the quick tackle which ended up taking out the American defender and left them with 10 men. He made a good run with Adekubge at the end and drew the defender away slightly and was ready if the ball was put to him Greatest Cockney Rip Off, Sal333, Corazon and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonovision Posted February 1, 2022 Share Posted February 1, 2022 ^ I see no reason to hold anyone back due to yellows. Play for the win which punches our ticket.
