Agreed. I'm expecting this to be decidedly unfriendly.

Started together v Uruguay I believe. Love it though

Yes, correct!  But then with very much a test 11 in place (David, Davies, Eustaquio, Larin, Cornelius on the bench), it takes soooo long for the Canada pieces to get shuffled around now, to see what we have.  Marsch so far is up to the task of feeding out minutes...to see what we have.

I saw Santiago today. I had good talks to Santiago today.

I'll share good news about Santiago soon.

Stay tuned.

I feel dumb- who is the second picture? Looks like Eustaquio without a moustache.

Lines are moving slow on the south side again… 🙄 North entrances much better.

Any time I click on the "play" triangle, the picture just sits there, and an ad opens.

I think it’s unfair to say things tanked. Herdsman capped out. His motivation can get so far. A horribly depleted wc squad doesn’t help.  But most importantly, the calibre of opposition drastically increased. 
 

tanking implies that it’s herdmans fault. I don’t think pep does much better with a squad of aging Vitoria, hutch, borjan, spoony, hoillet.

an injured staq, Davies, oso, hutch. 

and the core of mls guys out of season.  
 

What’s a reasonable expectation of any coach with those parameters?  Turn mak and Fraser into elite cms. Make Vitoria fast. 
 

we all were so stoked with the Belgium performance. The morroco game was great considering we had a lot of rotation. And Croatia was humiliating after we brought our subs in. (Much like the Netherlands game with marsch). 

The wheels fell off well before the WC.  It was evident even in the matches following qualification still in WCQ phases and even more so in the WC warm up matches.

Interesting that Jesse Marsch's record is 2W 5D 3L

I'm glad you're able to.   It looks like this is going to be the second game in a row that I won't be able to see.

Personal pet peeve - not singing the bilingual version of the anthem.

[InglewoodJack]

Shaffelburg as the CM per the starting lineup. Marsch cooking  

[Joe MacCarthy]

So they ask you to remove your hats and you still see arseholes with hats, toques and hoods on.  As Joe would say C'mon man!

Should be mandatory for any national team event tbh

Some loose touches to start things off.
