nervy start.

It visibly pains this ref to give a call our way.

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

It was a typo.  He was referring to fifth Canadian prime minister Mackenzie Bowell.  He will destroy us with pace.  Fuckin' traitor.

St Clair’s distribution is not good.

Have we ever had a keeper whose distribution was good?

[spinrack]

This is a poor start to the second half.  US has way too much possession.  Starting to look dangerous on the attack.

[kacbru]

Laryea's defending has been superb.

I’d like to see Dayne catch the ball a bit more.  Too many punches.

That was his weakness for the longest time too.

St. Slair need to catch that ball and not punch it.

Yep - noted that in the Bahrain game.

So mcgraw still has to serve in the US army after he retires, but right now he’s playing against the USA. 

[dyslexic nam]

Both Bombito and McGraw have done a lot to redeem themselves this game.  Solid so far. 

[Vasi]

Fraiser coming in? 

[Shway]

Fraser for real....

[VinceA]

The fact injury replacement and non-player in the Belgium 2nd division Liam Fraser is first off the bench for Canada is ridiculous. 

[dyslexic nam]

If we get past the US, Cal will be part of then starting 11 at this rate.  

[trc2014]

Here we go - everyone gone for the semis.

Shows up for first day, "We are giving you a Dishonourable Discharge for your actions against the US national team"

[jonovision]

Bombito has been good on the ball but has been leaving space everywhere defensively. Fraser could be a good switch.

[king1010]

So we have no defenders if we make it to the semis

[VinceA]

I'm slowly inching towards that hashtag...
