Definitely looks like the coaching staff aren’t trying to show their best hand for the second game.

Assume Zouhir and Habibbulah are keeping fresh for the US.

Quick question. Is there anything necessary to do to watch on youtube.com/onesoccer?

Thanks!

My Forge man Poku is looking bright in the early going!

He is a joy so far on that side.

[Dominic94]

Poku and Catavolo impressing me a lot early on.

Not sure about that.  This team is a hard team to crack.  Solid front to back.  I think it just shows the depth at this age.  (and I'm a big Habibullah fan)

[maccaliam]

How is that not a booking? I don’t necessarily want anyone sent off because they got that kind of card but the only way to stop players cynically stopping a counter attack is to book those types of fouls. 

[El Hombre]

Smith is a different class on that pitch.

[Vasi]

I like Smith. He is already applying the dark arts of CONCACAF. 

[Addona]

Our backline and mid-field have either given the ball away or been caught in possession WAY too often ...

[Soccerpro2]

Smith looks very good. Everyone else? Meh.

We’re playing an even game with Cuba right now. Our USL “pros” and CPL players that rarely, if ever see the field in regular season CPL play are a tad overhyped on this forum.

[Addona]

I'm not going to lie, we haven't looked good these last 15-20 minutes ...

[Shway]

Pelligrino is struggling in that middle.

Hugo hasn’t got any service.

[Dominic94]

We got comfy too fast, we were literally owning them.

Lol…clearly you don’t know who’s who.

CPLs - Poku, and Catavolo has looked good.
MLSNextPro player is Hugo mbongue, and he hasn’t gotten any service. 
Campagna hasnt been noticeable, which isn’t bad defensively.
 

[Dominic94]

Wow…. So unacceptable
