WCQ: Panama v Canada - Wednesday, March 30, 9pm Eastern / 6pm Pacific - Panama City

[Hawkguy]

Alistair Johnston is far and away my favourite player and the best defender in our program.

Get Miller out of there

[Vasi]

dam Alister!

[AvroArrow]

I don't get why Cornelius isn't starting at CB.

A second red? Wow, how physical do you think Cav has been? 😉

I think he's expecting a studs-up two-footer from Cav for the first red and then a headbutt to Marrufo for the second.

Critical intervention by AJ there. Panama had 4 in the box pretty much open

Really?  He seems more lively than David.  David is carrying some tired legs.

Quite a few seem heavy legged. Including a couple who didn’t play Thursday.

Yep he is revelation like Tajon, a college player who took longer to develop and now we can not imagine the team without them. 

[Floortom]

some of our guys look like theyre running in quicksand - David, Adekugbe, Miller...

Yellows reset. Reds don’t. Anyone on a single yellow will be cleared.

I have full confidence that he could get suspended during the group stage for yellow card accumulation even if the yellows have been reset beforehand. 

[Vasi]

BTW has anyone figured out Milers hand issue? The dude has been waring that thing for ever.

Joey Barton special

[Corazon]

Eustaquio has had some fantastic outlet/long balls this half.  To David, Cava and now Adekugbe.

Superstition.  There's nothing wrong with his hand.

[Cblake]

Love this kid, Johnston with a great defensive effort to shut down the Panamanian attack

[Lansdude]

People are saying David looks tired, to me he looks like the only one high pressing.

Think the last few days are catching up to them, I am not going to blame them in anyways for that. 

[Cblake]

45 minutes to go, need that one goal for Pot 3. Changes will come. 

[gwsmith63]

This first half has flown by albeit with very little intensity or, well, excitement.

I do worry about Cavallini getting another yellow but I do think he has probably been more involved and better than David so far.  
I just think that everyone wants to see what Ugbo can do up top.  And I can’t see Ugbo and Cavallini playing alongside each other.  Whereas David is more versatile.

Hopefully see some changes for the 2nd half. Canada has way more to offer than this.

[vancanman]

Whom should we not sub at the half?

[El Hombre]

This second half is tailor-made for some of the non-regulars to go out and prove themselves to Herdman.  Needs some life and spark injected.

[Lansdude]

Need subs, Kone got better as the half went on but weren't not passing through Panama's midfield at all. Feel like Osorio or even Fraser might hit those unlocking passes on the turn. Cavalini is a liability. Ugbo on please. Wouldn't mind seeing Millar as well.

[gator]

Not a great half, we need to freshen things up, if not at ht not far in, Kone, Kaye and Cav due to his card would be the first 3 off for me! Bring on Larin or Ugbo, Millar and Osorio!
