What do you guys think about starting with this lineup? It has a good mix of fresh players. 

I like most of it, however needs a few tweaks. 

- Not sure about Hoilett on the wing.  We'd be vulnerable, he doesn't have the pace and stamina he used to have.

- Laryea could probably use a rest as well as going back to Nottingham in shape.

I'd lean towards a heavy rotation:

------------Ugbo - Millar

Guti - Fraser - Hoilett - Eustaquio - ZBG

----Cornelius - Kennedy - Henry 

---------------Crepeau

I like this part:

"We have been presented with some very relevant and negative events, which we cannot pass up as professionals.  It is important that we unite as players, so that both we and future generations can have the reasonable conditions that a national team player should have and even more so when they are competing for a higher team World Cup."

I can just see the Honduran team cribbing that word for word with respect to refusing to play in Minnesota tonight.  

"Dammit, why d-d-didn't w-we t-t-t-try that?" - Maynor Figueroa right now.

Does my bet cash if El Salvador forfeit the game? 

[Yoginess]

In general I support players when federations try to screw them over. I hope they get paid and that the game happens tonight.

What are the oddsmakers saying? Will the game happen or not?  I say it will happen.

Bets are still allowed for the match,  but odds have swung in Canada’s direction, as a result of the news I assume

[Lansdude]

Are we in a new era now that with a third dominant team in CONCACAF the banana republics will just refuse to play the last few matches when they're out of it?

Depends on the bookmaker, but most have rules that if a game isint rescheduled within 24 hours, the bet will be voided.

[cornerkick]

This is when having a Canadian as president of Concacaf will come in handy, right?

 

right?  🥲

That was a fun fire drill.

The worst take in the history of Canadian soccer is "I hope they play"

No.

 

3 points. No injuries. Come the fuck home.

Practically sure - but we all just enjoy watching the boys play

[CCrTFC]

Like a proper telenovela 

[AvroArrow]

So does the federation bench the ringleaders?

[Floortom]

Wonder how strong their mindset is going to be. Hopefully we dont let up at all and smack them down

[sstackho]

This has been an emotional rollercoaster.  I better have three beers.
