The Beaver 2.0 Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 So, with Costa Rica needing to get a result tonight, what should we expect from them tactically? For the majority of qualifying, they've played cohesively in defense, not really taking control of the game offensively at any point against any of the teams, especially the more powerful offensive sides. Will they come at us tonight? That seems dangerous, knowing that we can hit them hard on the counter. They are an experienced, smart, well-coached side. This is going to be a scrap, for sure. If they do push players forward, then we should find some good opportunities to counter. If they sit back, then we may struggle to break them down, but at least we'll have territorial advantage. I still feel we've more game changers than they do, with David and Tajon in particular. I know I say this before almost every game, but what an opportunity to learn something new about your side. Great preparation for Qatar. Let's get the win. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great preparation for Qatar. Let's get the win. I think Costa Rica are going to remain defensively solid and won't overextend themselves. They absolutely need a win, but they absolutely can't afford to lose, so I don't see them opening up in desperation. Calvo and Waston are predicted to start and both are good in the air. Borges is a big player too. They are not a small team in general, so a set piece may be the best path forward for them. Joel Campbell will be keep for them as well. If they open up too much against us they'll be in trouble, as we are deadly on the counter and have the legs to get up and down the pitch. They'll want to keep it tight and hope to nick something, I believe. Club Linesman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicyHam Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 Looking at the standings I won't be too upset if we don't win tonight 1. It'll be one step closer to the USA having a spectacular collapse 2. Going undefeated in qualifying seems like an unnecessary pressure IMO 3. For selfish reasons it would be great to see them clinch the spot in person on Sunday Bdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I look at my %100 recycled Nike jersey that I paid 150$ for and see the kinks and imperfections....I Instantly think that I could've got this for 30$ and wouldn't care about my beer spilling or a random grabbing it in celebration causing a stress in the shirt.

Marinaro has complained a number of times on air about this mindset with Montreal sports fans. Well, actually Quebec sports fans. A few weeks ago I stirred up some reaction on this site because I said soccer really wasn't a thing in Quebec. Some posters from Quebec took exception to my comments. This rant from Tony proves my point. And if anyone thinks it was just one text received you're wrong. Tony is a soccer fanatic and I hardly hear him talk about the sport. The reason is that on the rare occasion he does speak about soccer he gets swamped with texts or messages like the one he read. Again I thank you for posting this! costarg, Kadenge, EJsens1 and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I appreciate the turn of attention, but I do find it ironic that he spent the majority of the segment talking almost exclusively about how he wasn't going to talk about the Habs.

Kadenge Posted March 24, 2022 Share Posted March 24, 2022 I'm going to the game on Sunday but I want Canada to clinch their WC spot today. A tie would be ok, but a loss puts pressure back on us to then get at least a tie v Jamaica. Surely we can celebrate just as much with our team on Sunday if we clinch today? For the first time, our destiny is in our hands and I want Canada to take it without any help from other results. Let's go boys!!!
