Game will probably be won with an ugly goal, PK or from set pieces.

If that's the case - we're screwed.  I'm with TG123 now.

There's a very good chance Cowell comes on and destroys us with his pace.

Also the sky is falling.

And I don't want it to be today lol? Nor is  he doing much.

Nelson will come in for Junior when he's gassed.  Backline is organized. We're going to have to stay switched on, but we're fully in this. US have had possession, but we've looked the better side by a slight margin.

But who else can hold up for us? He's doing more than it might look like.

Well, I am curious what BJ and the bad guys plan for tactical changes and subs in this second half.  Except for dead ball service, Gressel hasn't done much.  Busio gives off the impression of a guy who thinks he's better than he actually is while he and the ex Montreal guy in midfield don't seem to have much chemistry.

[kacbru]

No need for changes just yet.

Also a chance Bryn comes on and scores a hat trick.

Didn’t think I would actually be caring at this point.  Solid half for sure.

[doopy]

You're right.

Just nervous. I know he loves a slide tackle. 

[shorty]

Reset.  Strong first 10 minutes.  Make it solid and strong and boring and stay connected.  Slow everything down.  Chances will come.

I think it was a good first half for us and despite the expected CONCACAF bullshit we are in this, I don't think any sub we bring in we be over awed by the US, my biggest concern is they were setting up balls over the middle to get in a foot race with our CB's and the ball has just not been played as of yet!

[Raven]

Ah….CONCACAF….I remember this. 
 

CONCACAF keeping me frustrated since 1986.

[shorty]

Oh how we've learned to CONCACAF since then, though.  Love making the USA wait for kickoff...

Nelson needs to come on for the second half or maybe substitute at minute 60

[Borjans Sweatpants]

Alright let’s start the same way as first half…. A boot into the linesman’s face

Yes, but there was a strong gust of wind that blew Busio down. It was obviously a nor'easter coming down from Moncton, so foul on Canada.

It could have been an earthquake tremor or hurricane wind.  Monkeytown is one of the few areas in Canada that gets every type and extreme of weather (hot, cold, wind etc)

[toontownman]

"Anything Canada needs to change here?"

Well the score preferably.

[El Hombre]

This Viking clap/U-S-A hybrid is so obnoxious.
