Just watching the game on PVR (another kid bball game tonight) Andy main takeaway is that this guy is really hung up on our second goal.  Like, really hung up on it. 

Well you see, the keeper placed the ball on the ground, but, and this is very important, it WASN'T a throw-in, therefore....

I know its super early....but... This drubbing reminds me of the pre wc qualifiers we had to through before we got in to the octagon.

I'm hoping this will give the boys reps and belief that they are leaps and bounds better then any team in the group. 

My thoughts exactly. On paper, this first phase gives us two tune-up games before a likely must win vs T&T. Should we qualify, that’s great momentum heading into the final round. Since we don’t hold youth camps, this format probably does us a favour in the long run. If we can’t win this group, we don’t deserve to be in the World Cup.

Realistically we’ll probably only need a draw, but yeah I agree with the rest.

First game, but it only shows the goals.

Not sure Fubo subscribers will get today's match.

It's not listed on One Soccer's schedule. Most likely due to the conflict with the pre game show for the CanWNT match at the W Gold Cup.

Hopefully they kick it to YouTube or we can use Concacaf Go

That sucks.  Hoping there is an alternate method.  

It isn’t too often I wish I had straight-up OS over Fubo but today could be one of those rare days.

Youtube hopefully

One Soccer confirmed on twitter the game will be on their alternate channel.

Yup. No Fubo

Looking ahead to Tuesday I don't think Fubo will have the game v T&T either,  as it corresponds with the Orlando v Cavalry CCC game

No. If you subscribe to One Soccer they usually have a link to watch a match that conflicts with their main 24 hour channel.

Just so I can prep - what were the alternate sources where people watched the first game?  YT?  CONCACAF Go?

Concacaf GO

Concacaf GO

Is that an option if it is on OneSoccers alternate channel? Do they black out Concacaf Go in Canada?

[dyslexic nam]

CONCACAF now has a stream up for the Surinam vs A/B game so fingers crossed.

Is this a completely new starting lineup? Biello as the captain seems odd. He was brutal last game.

I don’t know - he stopped a goal.   That has to count for something.

“Biello” didn’t give it away?

It is. With a game every 2 days they did heavy squad rotation.

Just for clarity the game is on One Soccer
