Friendly match: Canada vs Mexico - Tuesday, September 10th - 8:30pm Eastern / 5:30pm Pacific - Arlington, Texas

[Lansdude]

What a slow game. It's a friendly and every time their keeper gets the ball he's burning extra seconds.

[Mihairokov]

All five are subs I wanted to see so i'm very happy with that.

[narduch]

JRR and Miller on.

[spitfire]

i have to mute the game listening to wheeler makes me want to claw my eyes out. He literally add nothing. Useless facts and no energy he is so biased in his commentary and calls out some players and not others. 

Been such a frustrating game to watch shocking really very anti football. Hard for anyone to get into the game. No one really clicking. Liam could have done better on a few things bu that applies to every player..nothing really coming off for anyone 

 

[Barthez-Battalion]

That's the third time Davies has whiffed on a ball in the air.

 

He's been very poor at dealing with loose balls this intl break.

[narduch]

Are we technically playing 4 strikers?

[narduch]

Sigur. Welcome to Concacaf

I'm no Wheeler fan but it's really tough to call matches you're not physically in the stadium for.

Not going to blame him for the lack of energy either. What has there been to be excited about in this one?

Pretty much. No balance. While Saliba rots on the bench and Invisible Oso gets to stay on the field.

We have more than enough evidence that Wheeler is shit whether he's calling from the stadium, or off a monitor, though.

David hasn't come anywhere near to the striker's position in this one.

[kacbru]

Mexico are taking control of this.

literally his job sorry. I want energy and intent and an even non bias report . The same issue over and over.Building up players that can do no wrong gussing really and then not calling out when those players make mistakes but then harping on certain players over and over again..I'm happy to give examples..Brennan is the opposite. Honest, direct, energy i like listening to him..

2 minutes added lol

Game was already disjointed due to the fouls and now each team has made 12 subs each.  Not a recipe for fluid footy.

He's referring to Davies' goal against Panama at BMO

final score 0-0

[Lansdude]

Ref really wants to get outta here. 17 seconds of extra time first half and 2 minutes in the second. With about fifty fouls, a bunch of false starts and maximum subs.
