Match Thread: CONCACAF U-20 - Group Stage - Canada v St. Kitts and Nevis - June 22, 2022 - 4pm ET/1pm PT

[narduch]

Venue: Estadio Nacional, Tegucigalpa, Honduras

TV: youtube.com/onesoccer

Group Standings:

Canada could get 2nd place with a Cuba upset win over the US and a large win over St. Kitts. Unfortunately the last 2 group games are not being played simultaneously.

St. Kitts Roster:

It's a must win game, but realistically looking at 3rd place finish where we could potential meet Mexico in Quarter-Finals.

How could we lose to Cuba ?  * SIGH *

[blueseeka]

Looking forward to seeing a 11-0 win.

Any chance Cuba upsets USA?

Theres always a chance in football.
However the chance of them upsetting is far from probable.

A few American journos mentioned that the reason they struggled against Canada when it came to actually getting quality chances was that they aren't very good at breaking down bunkers. If Cuba can frustrate them like they did us perhaps they can carve out opportunities against their CBs, which is their weakest part of their team.

Finally a game a decent time in the UK!! Lol

So just to be clear, We're out unless Cuba pulls of an upset AND we score enough to offset GD?

No, top 3 go through. We're only out if we lose to St. Kitts. People are just talking about trying to get top 2 to get an easier path in the playoffs.

I have my theory: Only if Canada defeats SKN by more than 10 goals, the Cubans would feel motivated to beat the Yankees and face Canada in SF. But most likely they will play a tie.

I won't lie, this lineup does not look like we're even trying to catch the US on goal difference in the event Cuba pull off a win... we're playing for 3rd

[narduch]

Considering the pitch quality maybe that isn't the worst idea.

For some reason I thought this was tomorrow...

U-20 action followed by Voyageurs Cup. Gonna be a busy day of soccer watching!

We should be fine without them, Smith took a late knock against the US and would obviously be a big miss in the next round!

Honestly, resting our best guys to maybe try and pull off an upset in. The next round may be the tight move.  Never without a couple of top guys we better have enough to beat SKN.   If not, there is no way we have the quality to advance anyway.   I will miss watching Smith though - nice to see him in action.

And 50 people waiting in the YouTube queue.   Curious how many of them are members of this site…

We are supposed to be happy as a nation because an American won the NHL Art Ross trophy?

[spitfire]

[toontownman]

Honestly, that was the funny thing for me too.  When watching our U20 national team, I am not sure why we would care about an American getting an award with his league team.

Shaping up to be lots of possession for the good guys.
