CanadaFan123 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 We don’t seem to have a system but I also sympathize with the conditions. Swiderski looks to be the top of this crop early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamptern Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Give: 1st game we played well but we sucked in last second to give up 3 points. Take: 2nd game we played like shit but we pulled out 3 points. Judge to come last game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 We need to stop this stupid formation/system/ or whatever Peter is trying to do. If you want to play with 3 CDM/CM just play a 433 or a 352. Badwal, Dimitrui, Biello, Costa, Kane....4 of 5 CDM played. Stewart-Baines, Bunbury* are the only wide players. I'm now realizing this team was horribly constructed with 18 field players selected. But onward we go, maybe Peter will scumbag are way to success. YorkRegionFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Borjans Sweatpants Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Massive win, love to see it. Lopez again looking class. YorkRegionFan, Sal333, Mihairokov and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borjans Sweatpants Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 KSB looked rough for sure but I'll attribute it to jet lag / joining the team late. I thought he grew into the game too, had a few good runs and was pairing with Lopez pretty well. Swiderski looked class as well again.

We beat Mexico 2-0 in 2009, since then: 2011: 0-3 vs Costa Rica 2011: 0-3 vs Mexico 2013: 5-1 vs Nicaragua (the last win, as you mentioned, including goals from Piette and the OG Staq) 2013: 2-4 vs US 2015: 0-2 vs Mexico 2015: 2-3 vs El Salvador 2015: 2-3 vs Honduras 2017: 0-1 vs Honduras 2017: 0-5 vs Mexico 2018: 1-2 vs Panama 2022: 2-2 vs US 2022: 1-1 (lost shootout) vs Guatemala 2024: 2-2 vs Honduras 2024: ? - ? vs El Salvador So I guess the positive is that, after losing 7 in a row after beating Nicaragua, we have drawn the last 3. Still, Friday seems like a good day to put another one in the win column! Kent, gator and Canuckia 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VinceA Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I kind of want Lopez to be called in for September with the senior team. He has a certain oomph about him and I'd like to keep him away from Mexico. Canuckia, 74 Whitecap, Corazon and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The coaching staff needs to figure out personnel for this squad for the next match. gator 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diallo & Tavio also play as wide mids,but I get your point about balance. Biello is usually good in progressing the ball but he played like a DM today. Biello, Badwal & Dimitrui should not be starting or be on the field at the same time unless we are in shut down mode. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Not sure why this tourney is being played in Mexico at this time of the year if they are going to play on pitches of that quality. I didn’t see the first game, but that was a tough game to watch, to the point that in not sure how much to judge any of the players except maybe the keeper, who was good.

Today's pitch was Wembley compared to the first match! But still terrible, of course. blueseeka, solsous, Ivan and 9 others 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless it's to see him train with the first team. I wonder where he'll end up if he can't get more minutes for Pumas. Kid needs to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd love to see him included I'd be fine with bringing him in but I think we need to temper expectations a bit. Remember how good Justin Smith was for our youth team? It doesn't always translate to future success. Obviously Lopez is very promising though. An Observer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think with 4 points we should be safe for third spot. A draw would be a great result, as a W versus Salvador, we finish first or second.

Sal333 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Again Lopez was the class of the Canadian team. Morgan and Swiderski were good. Ciccarelli looked good for the duration of his coffee break. Shway and Canuckia 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
