Wouldn't it make more sense to wear red in this weather instead if black?

Bad pic quality but this is the formation they showed.  

Ahh yes, this is definitely Herdman's signature.  plug the midfielder into defense, move the CB to midfield, take another midfielder to replace the winger who you move to striker.  Classic.  Figure that one out Cuba!

Contest will happen in the next round.
 

And full disclosure, I haven’t even sent Bison his cards yet.  (Turns out there is no “shame” emoji).  

I just said it for fun more than to win any of your possessions

You can also put me down for Hoilett delivering a beautiful corner kick that restores my faith in Simon Eaddy.

This is five consecutive matches without wearing a red kit. That must be a record, yes? Anyone know?

[BearcatSA]

Wheels, Ahmed doesn't play LB for his club side.

There’s only 3 outfield players I can think of that have been called a handful of times but have seen very limited minutes: Waterman, Zator and Loturi 

Coincidentally the first CPL grads to make it to the CMNT. 

Piette, Choiniere, ZBG, Millar before this tournament.

Unrelated to tonight's game, today the men's version of the new WNT jersey arrived in the mail. Laughable how much better this design looks than anything the MNT has had in forever.

How is it we were able to get kits for the Women’s World Cup when it was basically a guarantee they be there. We could have just used the same one for the Men’s a year before. Announce it as the kit for both the Men AND Women

[shorty]

Cuba is the "home" side.  They probably chose white, leaving us either black or red for options.

Piette and Millar - are you serious?

[BearcatSA]

Score early, put the sword to them.

[canuckgbp]

Red must not be in the budget 

[kacbru]

Oh boy, here we go.

[Colonel Green]

Some vintage MNT defending.

[trc2014]

I know it’s 2 minutes in, but the team has got worse through the tournament.

[VinceA]

So it's a 4-4-2 with one actual CM and a CM at LB.

Jesus I'm feeling about Herdman how I felt after the 2019 GC.

Seriously, we never wear red it seems. And black in hot weather is shooting ourselves in the foot. 

[canuckgbp]

Herdman’s fav Fraser bungled that ball

[Colonel Green]

I feel bad for the Cuban team, the Gold Cup being basically permanently-hosted in the USA means they're never going to get any big fan contingent (under the current political situation, anyway).

[kacbru]

I don't think the colour of the jersey has been the major problem this tournament.

I think the bigger issue with the lack of support in the US is the Cubans don't really care about Soccer.

Not wearing red on Canada Day is a… choice
