Anyone know what the tiebreakers are for the group stage at this tournament? We might need them.

Goal differential

It's humid as hell in Houston but I'm surprised how the footing for Canada is so poor on a good pitch

The # of bad touches, unforced errors on passes is frustrating 

[canuckgbp]

Someone fucking pot one. 

[SpursFlu]

That was a pk

shaf has been bright?  Had the best chance of the whole game and blew it.

[Soccerpro2]

Dive by Shaff

[Corazon]

Give the ref credit.  Shaff had me fooled there.

[Jack1997]

Everyone is standing still????

[toontownman]

No penalty there. Poor from shaff.

[toontownman]

LOTURI LIVES!!

[Corazon]

ZBG wearing indoors out there?

[BigMo]

We got nothing out of the Wotherspoon change.

[jonovision]

If it's not a penalty you have to card Shaff. Poor refereeing.

[Soccerpro2]

Why cant our players stand up? The other team can.

Even if a three-way tie on five points? OK, cheers.

Got a funny feeling Guat and Guad will agree a pact of non-aggression to both finish on 5 pts. 

maybe we draw straws again

ZBG needs a better pair of boots. Slipping all over.

[SpursFlu]

Ref didn't make the right non call.. he was just never going to call it

[Jack1997]

ZBG needs new boots

Loturi isn't injured. People are just trying to convice themselves Herdman knows what he's doing

Blew it due to a poor first touch.  with a good first touch thats probably a goal

[toontownman]

Do we save on player staff wages or bonus by not going past the group stage?

Why does everyone assume that playing Loturi would be the right decision? He's a mid player in a crap league.

Coin flip, we win the GC.
