Who would you replace? We did get a quicker defence at least.

No one, really. My point is more about questioning those who complain about/get frustrated with poor performances, when it's clear we do not have a lot of depth.

Onesoccer pre-game is on...Cuba Guadeloupe finished 5 minutes ago so 10:00 pm ET start looks accurate

[spinrack]

CONCACAF needs to do a better job advertising the kickoff time of these matches.  Both Canada games have started a half hour after the announced time.

Lineup

 

 Just got in

Probably close to as safe a team as we can put out. Some people who has rough games out.  The few with significant World Cup minutes are in.

On a two day bender, can’t watch, go Canada.

[spitfire]

i don't understand why its listed as a 930 kickoff in all the build up? (getting up at 230am here...

Let's go Canada

Aside wishing them grinding out a result, my other 50% sight will be on the consistency of Ahmed’s performance.

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Are we sure this is Bombito at CB? Or is it CDM again?

[Tyson M]

What are you guys predicting?

3-1 Canada I'll say. Cavalini, Hoilett and Vitoria. Another mistake or two by Borjan will cost us early(I love him, but his mistakes are coming more often of late).

Looks like taking care of Vitoria‘a right wing in a 3-5-2 as per OS.

I don’t think most people are complaining about who Herdman plays, more an issue of formation, system, motivation, not sticking to his word and not giving some guys a fair shake.

actually, it's just the byproduct of normal tournament football, combined with an overly optimistic American television scheduling executive, who just may not get football.  one person, who doesn't live in a football nation.

Guatemala kits are 🔥

I knew Houston had a decent sized Guatemalan diaspora and it appears a lot of them are at the game

[Jack1997]

Is it just my TV or do the Canada kits look insanely bright on the top camera

Cavallini Millar Ahmed goals

Looking good so far.  Like the intensity. 

[BigMo]

Great pace to this so far. Quite the turnout by the Guatemalan supporters in this stadium.

[toontownman]

Like the one touch stuff but we are still looking blunt in the final third and sloppy at the back. 

Fraser and Miller on yellows already makes me nervous.

[ktf]

Kamal Miller just wow bad that whole sequence up to the yellow.

It's 9pm local and still 34 degrees. We can't go too hard or we will be wrecked lol

Why does Jimmy Brennan always sound like he's bench pressing as he's commentating
