Concacaf Nations League #1: Canada vs Curaçao- Thursday, 9 June, 7:30 pm PT / 10:30 pm ET - BC Place, Vancouver

[SirBobsaget]

This Curacoa team is no pushover. They have some players with EPL experience while the rest have Eredivisie matches. They are not pushovers. Its amazing the progress between this match and when they barely got passed a Cuba team 1-0  that had players defect

I feel like the second goal could open the floodgates, but halftime might quiet tha

HAHA. That last one wasn't too bad because Room spilled the ball. 

Good work from your all-time favourite player Steven Vitória

Tajon looks like the best player on the pitch so far tonight.. Davies trying very hard to impress the home fans

I thought he was really effective on the right but he hasn’t seen as much of the all since they switched to inverted wingers.

Notwithstanding the 2-0 score now and the obvious enthusiasm, our boys still show some rustiness, so I am  glad they are back in the thick of it. Eustaqiuos´ high shot just now is emblematic of this, but I am confident they will work it out.😃

The only thing that would've made that goal better would be if he hadn't pretended to be portuguese when he was 19.

Thoughts after the first half:  

1. The crowd sucks. I'm sorry Vancouver but the tickets were dirt cheap and you still didn't pull through. I don't wanna see anybody ever complain about Vancouver not getting a game. 

2. People were afraid of this Curacao team? We have like what, 85% possession? This is Suriname 2.0 guys come on lmaooo

[sose]

wouldn't mind an Ugbo for Larin switch at halftime just because we haven't seen him a good chunk of minutes yet.. would like to see what he can do

Has Craig Forrest been on OneSoccer before?

What's the attendance roughly? 

[phil03]

Honestly, overall I like what I see. Like others I was affraid the energy wouldn't be there but if anything else they were trying too hard, being a bit febrile and being a bit fuzzy in the finishion as a result. A third goal would have been ideal but a good 2-0 first half is gonna help everyone tremedenlously in getting back in the zone. The players seemed to have become more patient, Herdman seemingly more relaxed and the crowd, for all that it is still small, more into it. Obviously its a process but I feel serious headway in turning the page has already been made

[GasPed]

The second goal was partly to Davies too - his left footed in-swinger on those corners is really hard for a keeper to handle.

It’s better than I thought it would be.  Maybe 13-14,000?  The Vs section has filled in.

I think that he has. But when the pandemic started. Looks like he is back. 

But yeah someone mentioned Footy Prime. Great podcast

If you go to the link for tickets on Ticketmaster and open up your javascript console and type

.get tickets() blue.dots=no .hacker

it tells me that the attendance should be roughly 93,214 people.

This reinforces the argument to host all games in Toronto. Easier flights and most players are from there. 

[Scottie]

I'm pretty surprised to see Forrest on there considering his tweets of support for the players the other day.

It's more than that.  BC Place is big.  15 to 17K

I think its a positive development.  He's definitely not a guy that carries water for the CSA.

One Soccer and the players are not on opposite sides.

Your surprise makes no sense.
