CNL: Jamaica vs Canada - Saturday, November 18th - 10:30am EST / 7:30am Pacific - Kingston, Jamaica

On another day we win 3-0. Or Jamaica wins 3-0.

But based on what we saw today there is no reason to believe we will lose to Jamaica at BMO. Let alone 3-1. 

[Floortom]

Not an outstanding performance but obviously you take the win and move on.

i do think we’ll be much better on Tuesday. I’m expecting them to quickly overwhelm a Jamaican side that will already be feeling down without Antonio and Grey.

The Canadian player who got a yellow card isn't listed by CONCACAF.

Who was it?

I assumed it was Milan since it looked like she was projecting the card his way (and he had been vocally chirping).  Maybe not tho.

 Davies still trying to do too much for Canada.  Gawd let someone else take the dead balls.  I'd love to see him pushed back to LB and have Millar at winger. 

Tajon is not his best in these conditions, he's a sports car with slicks at an off road rally.

I would like to see both these guys in the fullback spots, with Millar as a complement in front of the on rushing Davies, with a two way central mid minder for Buchanan on the right.  4-3-3 set up.

[Stoppage Time]

Let's put it to them in Toronto so we can see de Fougerolles!

The guys in the stands say it is roasting in the stadium with the sun and humidity.  I don’t think the Jamaicans will handle it any better than us.

Doesn't help one of them was wearing a black shirt!

[Cadeau]

Fotmob ratings are harsh on Adekugbe IMO, I thought he was one of our best out there.

Are you actually that naive? Jamaica has an excellent coach. Also, Jamaica has plenty of players PLAYING in Tier 1 leagues. You better brace yourself for Tuesday because a loss is very likely.

Eustaquio made up for  picking his nose on the Bailey chance from the corner with that winner.

Give it a rest.

First win in Jamaica in 35 years. Massive result. No other way to put it.

Off topic. Just saw Jim Brennan at the grocery store

If a win by Jamaica is "very likely" then it's not really an upset.

A big positive, but a lot of question marks out there today, too, with many mistakes going unpunished, frankly.  However, I liked how we kept it together and showed enough quality to dispatch this opponent.

And I will give props to Kaye, too.  Came on and did a job for us during his stint.

Osorio's decision making and execution with the ball on those two counter attacks?  Man, that wasn't a good look there.

Yes, I agree with you but I’m speaking to the majority on this forum who believe it’s a forgone conclusion that we will win on Tuesday.

I'm guessing he called the game from home and wasn't even in the studio

The majority of the Jamaican players today play in the championship, and Leigh is league 1.

[lamptern]

I'm not saying Kaye is playing bad in this game, but I can't see him contributing on both defense and attack neither. I'd see it as a wasted midfield position with very low effectiveness. 

This is how shallow our CAM/CDM is now. We definitely need someone to step up in a year or two.

Now we know why there was no post-game show.

[kacbru]

Didn't watch the game, just woke up and read this thread. Nice to get the win.

My take away... Borjan might be pregnant?

Big yikes.

Union rules meant camera crew needed more time off from working last night. And I assume OneSoccer only has one crew.

At least they had a decent post match show on YouTube!
