How did they pick a MOTM? No one deserved it.

[Fresh Prince of MTL]

Wotherspoon and Fraser’s performance makes Loturi‘s absense even more appalling

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

Yeah good point Spoony is way better.

[sebdeserio]

TFC and now this makes for pretty depressing showings on Canada day.

[sose]

I hear Stephen Hart yelling "IDEAS "  at his TV

[Soccerpro2]

Shaff broke his ankles on that small fake.

I think Wotherspoon also sucks, but I don't really even know why Loturi is in the squad.

And Wheels isn’t brave enough to say that.

Grinding out a nil-all draw would be a good result. Guatemala clearly the better team.

the obsession over this guy is bizarre....sure play him and give him some minutes i guess. it's not a travesty if he doesnt play though

[nolando]

90 minutes of crossing next practice.

We do have common ground after all.

Because we have no mid depth

Montreal and Vancouver lost too.

Oh how I've missed this hot take.  Never change, Hawkguy.

Oh yeah, we sure look really great. There's zero threat to score. He's a threat to score, even if you think he's not a great option most of the time. 

Not to mention, Theo's actually scored in a Gold Cup before.

[narduch]

If we get the draw we need a 2 goal won over Cuba to advance

My son said he left his socks on the pitch.

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

I would say its biased referring.  We have seen this time and time again.  The CSA should protest every time a Latin american ref is assigned to a game involving Canada and a team from CA.  especially with Mexican refs.  

[Jack1997]

How the hell is that guy hurt

[Cadeau]

Zero offensive flair.

[clamlinguine]

should be 25 min added

Extra midfielders? There are like 4 mids in this whole team.

Sure, but the wingbacks are basically midfielders in our system 90% of the time when we have a full squad because of the quality of opposition.

I’ll also add that the Blue Jays lost as well.

Would we score in those 25 mins?
