Shaffelburg? WTF?

He's had success against Messi, at least. Wouldn't be my first sub, but he was bound to come on at some point. 

[kacbru]

Shaf for Tjon... why not?

[Big_M]

59' shaffelburg in buchanan out

unfortunately it happens right out of the half...easy to see it coming with how he comes out

Japanese TV described him as the "main attraction."

Richie for Millar and move Davies up front.

I guess it's a sign Marsch is going for a result rather than concerning himself with goal difference, because Shaffelburg makes goals more likely at both ends.

Shaffelburg on the right?

Haven’t seen him there before… going inverted to come in on that left leg? Not sure he’s even been there for Nashville?

[vancanman]

RuPaul with a yellow, finally.

[narduch]

Press leads to a Canada corner

[kacbru]

Nice press by Larin.

[bwilly11]

Remember when we lost 8-1 to Honduras. Whatever happens here this is awesome 

[InglewoodJack]

Almost had winger Bombito there

Kone hasn't a clue what to do with it. It's a bit embarrassing at times. 

[kacbru]

I just want to see David put his laces through it.  Just once.

[Ally McCoist]

Argentina playing terrorist ball. We need some Red Bull aggressive press.

[vancanman]

That's a tackle off the ball even in rugby.

[Jack1997]

Maybe I’m biased but there should’ve been 2 pens for Canada

[bwilly11]

Ho leeee fawwwk 

[74 Whitecap]

Crowd is getting there money's worth at least

[vancanman]

Ha, that Messi guy's crap.

[king1010]

Need that prayer guy back

[Dominic94]

[Free kick]

yeah instead of coming out to close down the angle he completely took out the player and it wouldve been a penalty if the action didnt finish in a goal

[narduch]

Shaffelburg has been good
