    OhCanadaOhBaby got a reaction from SirBobsaget in Sebastian Breza   
    Id say so. Really poor reactions to the kick. He waited for it to be well clear of the wall before taking a step towards it, and even after that Im pretty sure he jumped off flat feet without a sliding step to add distance. So that plus the fact that he then went for the two handed stop and got fingertips when he couldn't reached with one means he probably would've made the save were it not for his errors. The freekick also had no dangerous pace, buddy just tried to get it up and over but Breza caught sleeping. Should've done better.

    OhCanadaOhBaby reacted to red card in Gareth Wheeler   
    It's in this episode. It starts around 5 mins when Wheeler disagrees with AGR's rosy assessment of the Caps performance vs the Dynamos. Platt later on basically agrees with Wheeler. And Kloke in a later episode in the week took down the Caps in an even more devastating manner. Then the Canada discussion occurs around 32 minute mark. Platt did push back on Wheeler.
    Unlike most here, Wheeler is needed for One Soccer Today for entertainment value purposes and diversity of thought. Otherwise, it is a fairly dry and one note show. This pablum keeps the Voyageurs crowd happy but almost everyone else will not be seduced in subscribing to OS.
    Wheeler's style also isn't an outlier as it is representative of the style of sports shows that has emerged in the last 5 years or so in both mainstream and social media. US cable news networks have been doing it for a generation. I also believe views should be challenged rather than simply having go around of each panelists stating their views. Unlike the corporate jerk fest often seen on North American tv, British interview shows have been a squirmfest due to their tough, direct & dogged interviewing style.

    No doubt that there are a bunch of Canadian broadcasters (soccer broadcasters for that matter) that are better than Wheeler. Obviously my post was satirical, but I do stand by the fact that people are too hard on Wheeler. Whatever you may think about him and the fame, or His corny wannabe Peter Drury catchphrases, he is still good for the Canada soccer scene. Take one look at the work he’s done at OS alone and it’s pretty hard to say we’re better without him

    I love Laryea, but his inclusion (as was expected) is an example of the lack of top quality depth in our player pool. He has been an integral part of our success in WCQ to date (the Jan window being questionable) however we do need to continue to build up the player pool. It's unfortunate that ZBG has not played as many minutes for CFM this season as he would have been the player to step into that starting RWB spot given Laryea's lack of playing time since the last window

    Wheeler > Luke and Steven (Let’s not talk about Terry)
    Haters gonna hate…
    I think the kind of flair and character that Wheeler brings to the broadcast and his journalism Is exactly what this team and fan base needs. Since day one ppl just love to find excuses to hate on Wheeler, and sure he was out of order with the Alex thing but that’s one incident and people are calling for him to be dumped?! Give me a break. The Canadian soccer scene is better with him. What would we be without Oh Canada, Oh Baby… NOTHING!!

    How can you "jump on the Canada bandwagon" when you're Canadian? That makes no sense. You can't gate-keep a Canadian national team from a Canadian EVEN if its a public figure like Drake. 
    I get that your argument is that he only started showing public love when they were doing good, making him a bandwagon fan, but he is literally the ambassador of the Raptors and you don't see him posting the players every night when they are 12th in the East. 
    Not trying to get to wrapped up in everything because I get what you're saying and its fair, but I just really don't like this "CanMNT bandwagon" mindset. There is no bandwagon, come one, come all. JB, Celine Dion, Trudeau, Drake, doesn't matter.

    Yes. I eluded to this a page or two back. You don't jump from individual training to playing games that quickly. Especially with something so important as your heart. 
    Hanging out with Drake is probably not good for the heart.....just ask yo gurl

    Reading this thread, you could come to the conclusion that Forest not playing Laryea has been a direct cause of the looming collapse of Chelsea FC.
