Defence? What defence? 

Old school 2-4-4 formation 

[jonovision]

Herdman has been reading the forums and all the complaints about us only starting 2 midfielders most matches. Now we have all of them basically.

Didn’t show Vitoria running out although dressed...guy is injured.

Exactly.  Looks like we're going with the little used 2-1-3-4 special. 

Johnston - Miller

Eustaquio

Laryea - Hutch - MAK

Buchanan - David - Larin - Osorio

Makes perfect sense to me.  No one will expect it.

WTF?  @theaub on my screen?

A nice little segment on the Voyageurs!

Yo mean  the formation we used vs the US Virgin Islands..

Surprised not to see Cornelius/Kennedy in the lineup. One of Costa Rica’s main (only) threats is aerial set pieces.

Oh shit, the music slaps.  Anyone know what version that is?

Reminds me of Lorde, but a google search didn’t yield any results.

Kennedy may not be fully fit (came off injured in his last match) and Cornelius has never impressed me much in the air. Really not of Canada's backs are impressive in that regard except for Vitoria and Henry.

If it worked against USVI, it's gonna work against CR.

[Cblake]

So close , keep an eye on the prize.

Alright @footballfreak, I need you to bear down and spend the next two hours figuring this out.  You can watch the game on demand when OneSoccer posts it tomorrow afternoon.

Panama at 70+% possession after 20 minutes. Hard to see them slipping up today.

Because Kennedy is only "fine" and not fine AND DANDY !

Ya agree with others. Herman has been keeping his cards close to his chest. Some guys are still injured.

How many people thought that about Italy today

[Miche]

I'm starting to get uncomfortable by how much OneSoccer are saying tonight is going to be a special moment.. Please stop.

Ya, Italy only had 66%.

Seriously - CR are an excellent team and we are playing them at home.

[Yoginess]

I’m ready for another Atiba smashing header 😏

Watching the clip again, he’s not even wearing boots.

I took the morning off to watch this, but didn't tell my non-understanding extended family so I won't get any phone calls.  I just watched the interviews with some Voyageurs.  I've only met one V, so I don't know anyone.  

Sharman in Costa Rica, complaining about a shitty dj.  Nice to see.

So I'm a few pops in and sometimes (rarely!) I get maudlin and I just wanted to quickly thank everyone around here for the last year.  14 months ago, shit was pretty crappy.  But then we had the Olympic qualifiers and then WCQ started and hanging out around here has been a godsend for me.  My posting frequency increased because this place was an amazing diversion.  Gamedays, between gamedays, gold cup arguments, everything has been just awesome over the last little while.  So as we head into the final weekend of WCQ, just want to shout out everyone here online for the trip over the last little while.  It's been awesome.  Thanks.

Did you miss the Italy qualifier today?  Anything can happen in one game of soccer!

With that out of the way, fuck you @dyslexic nam!  PEI sucks!
