Approve My Account Pls Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Now that we have Copa to dangle in front of duals, are there any duals that you think could realistically crack our 23 man roster? Only one I could think of that might stand a chance is Sigur as we need midfield depth YorkRegionFan, TGAA_Star and Canuckia 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel he could be a really important, quasi necessary piece for us. Seems like he just tunred 22, so does that "caps before 21" thing apply? Otherwise, Tom Holmes if a rule change applies?

dyslexic nam Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Copa will come too quickly for Jebbison even if he started immediately getting minutes. Plus with JRR, Bair and Ugbo I doubt he displaces all of them anytime soon (if ever). Shway and Approve My Account Pls 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Macksam Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Going to honest, after watching the finals last night, the Americans looked phenomenal, crisp, dynamic. Mexico had a couple moments in the second half but the better team by a mile won. I think these guys are going to win the whole thing, even beating Argentina in the finals.

They've definitely turned a page, there is a smoothness and confidence, definite swagger to their play. I feel they won't be intimidated by anyone and seem to be close to hitting their peak as a unit. Their 11 is stronger than the individual pieces which is the opposite of how CANMNT is trending. lamptern, Cheeta and Macksam 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narduch Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The US should have been eliminated by Jamaica in the semi. There was some real suspect reffing at the end of the 2nd half Cadeau, Obinna, jonovision and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) I watched last night until the second goal. I thought Mexico we pretty poor to be honest. I was specifically watching Alvarez and it seemed like he was always having to do too much in midfield. Also the creativity generally was lacking, maybe someone who knows them better can say why Gimenez was not on earlier or from the start. Hard to legislate for the first goal, the player closing down was late and maybe a bigger keeper with a better jump gets something on it?

ShralpShralpShral Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Does anyone know what face value were for the opening match? Ticketmaster won't even let me turn off verified resale in the filters which is hilarious. Resale prices are insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theaub Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 (edited) Cheapest tickets in the upper bowl were about ~200 USD on the general sale. Cheapest lower bowls (which by my deduction is where a supporter section would be) were a bit north of $350 USD Edited March 25 by theaub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 The U.S. has really cemented themselves as top dog in the region by quite a margin. The interesting thing is how far Mexico has fallen off. That #2 spot is wide open. Even looking at their roster - there’s not much to be scared of. They’ve scored one goal against the U.S. in their last six matches. We’ve scored 6 against US in the last six. Maybe Flores gets called up my Mexico soon …. Obinna, johnyb and Ottawafan 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MauditYvon Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 If we finish 2nd, we play the winner of group B July 5. Probably be Mexico or Ecuador. I'm more excited for this Copa than I was for Qatar. johnyb 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more excited for this Copa than I was for Qatar. I don't think I'm more excited, because the World Cup is the World Cup. But, they're playing a much more high profile side (Argentina) at the Copa than they did at the WC, and that feels like it will resonate with the casual fans. Plus, I always look at smaller countries in Europe who manage to qualify for the Euro even if they don't qualify for the WC, and how much it means to them. And I think "that should be this region", that the Copa should be a big, big deal in North America and participating in it should be huge. I'm looking forward to seeing if this becomes a regular joint event. I certainly hope it does. 74 Whitecap, An Observer, johnyb and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me the USA are still underperforming relative to their talent level and that will continue so long as Berhalter is in charge. It feels they get lucky too often for it to be coincidence, so maybe credit to them for that, but it still feels like they are not close to their ceiling. Mexico on the other hand just seem to be psychologically beaten by the USA at this point, and they don't seem to be clearly better than us, both on paper and based on the eye test. Hot take but I think Panama are overrated at this point, or at least I cannot see how they can be much better than they are already. They've done a wonderful job. Jamaica (maybe more than us) has the potential to be that no. 2 team, or at least compete with Mexico for it. That's our ceiling too imo. johnyb, GasPed, gigi riva and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Going off the purely first impressions we drew a World Cup finalist and #1 ranked team. Chile and Peru are good but Morocco and a Croatia are objectively tougher sides.
