Goddamn flashbacks of yesteryear…

Obviously stupid from Canada but the hesitation penalties shouldn’t be allowed.

[SpursFlu]

I think there is some kinda rule somewhere that people from Toronto can't criticize Osorio

If we even get there, the USA game is going to be embarassing.

A bit of reality check for Borjan haters.  DSC put in a tough position there but poor play. Osorio very poor play there.

Borjan isn't the answer at the next World Cup, not sure how you put that on Dane.

He's pretty bad in the two games I've been able to watch. 

I’ve literally never seen another player jog like that, in any league.

Guatemala tied up their match.

A 3 goal win can give us 1st

He was really hung out to dry there and its far from just his fault but he shouldn’t be coming out like that.  A calamity of errors leading up to it.

I honestly think Sirois is our best option right now.

I agree with this. But they are at this point still, so it is what it is. 

As soon as your motion forward starts, you should have to keep going reasonably forward. Just like hockey. 

[The Beaver 2.0]

DSC did not need to put his foot in, but Oso's brain fart put him in a bad position.

Too complacent. We're beating Cuba because of good football, not because we are intrinsically better than they are. Or, to put it more simply, we can't underestimate the Cubans. 

Love Oso, but he's supposed to be a leader out there, and that means you never underestimate the opponent.

How badly did Wheels and Brennan try to not say his name

[shorty]

Lacking urgency and sharpness.  We need to step it up.

I guess you have never been on one of the more popular TFC forums where many  have criticized him ever since he started playing for TFC.

Pretty sure we needed a 4 goal win, if the other game stays tied.

I think Ahmed has been our best player in the tournament so far

Please tell me an MLS side that would beat a Canada that includes Davies, David, Larin, Eustaquio, Buchanan, Johnston, Kone, etc.

Top 7 in the East + Charlotte + NYCFC would probably win a best of 5, same for the current top 8 in the West.

He's so bad, IMO. I'd rather see what McNaughton could bring. I doubt he's any better, but I've never seen him half ass shit or literally look like he'd rather be anywhere else.

Brennan filling the air with nothing...What a useless commentator who just states the obvious. I hate him.

Correct. Guadeloupe has more goals for.

[DeRo_Is_King]

If Herdman takes Hoilett off, we're f'ed.

Wheeler had been getting better, but he's been really awful in this Gold Cup. Probably because Canada is looking awful so he's making excuses.

I don’t get this take.  We have enough quality to beat these guys easily.  We are one brain fart away from a very comfortable 2-0 lead at the break.
