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

4 goal win would do it. But a 5-2 would as well if Guadeloupe gets a bunch of yellow cards. So ... 6-3 or 5-1 would do it.

It just seems like we take a step forward and then a step back. Reminds me a lot of the Guadeloupe game.

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.  

But the brain fart happened and we have had a lot of trouble scoring in this tournament.

I wish that banner wasn’t there ...

I know he scored the PK but he didn’t actually creat either of the goals.

A brick wall has more pace than our backline. Generally harder to get around too.

Ahmed doing well again but seems wasted at LB suddenly. Hope Bombito isn't injured.

[SpursFlu]

So we need 5 goals.. or 3 more?

2 more.. if the other game stays as it is. To get top spot that is. We go through in 2nd as it stands in both games.

But he is one of our few creative attacking threats.

And John is trying to use the cupboard as a fridge.

I am not saying he is useless.  I am just saying we aren’t screwed if he gets subbed off.  

[TOcanadafan]

Seeing McGraw play average or less, Miller regressing, Vitoria finished… and you move a guy like Bombito with potential out of our most needed position? And destroy his confidence at that…You gotta question Herdman on this one.

If the current scores stand we advance as 2nd place

[InglewoodJack]

He drew the PK. 

[The Beaver 2.0]

Wheeler can't use his catch phrase on a scrappy goal like that. Pathetic.  (And I am Wheeler-agnostic).

[canuckgbp]

I’ll take it I’ll take it 

[rydermike]

Nelson! 

[Jack1997]

Nelson could be a beast if he puts a few pounds on, just gets bodied too much

as I was writing this he scores, boy jaden!
