Keegan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Meh. You have your opinion. I must admit though that it gets really annoying reading the same thing over and over. IMO, he's still #2 behind Ali. Ali's not there, so let him have it. I do not share Loyola's rosy account of Occean's game against Greece (or Ukraine for that matter) and none of the other kids have put together at least two solid seasons to warrant being assigned that position. When push comes to shove, he's the second best (at worst) that we have until someone else pushes their way in. Exactly how I see it Just to add this: Friend's last 2 starts for Canada - 3 goals for our team (vs. Honduras and Belarus) Occean's last 2 starts for Canada - 2 goals for our team (vs. Greece and Ukraine) Pretty close there but I've always felt Friend has had a few great performances for Canada (vs. Jamaica in 06 and Brazil in 2008) while I've never seen an Occean match where he was at that level. Anyways Issey on for Friend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 At this point the subbing is to waste time. I wonder if they'll try to sneak on Stalteri or Straith. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Truthfully we'll never know what contribution Rob made to this one. I guess Gerry and MB are the only ones who can take an objective look at his contribution today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Now who plays up front? Maybe Ricketts? Maybe. Hell, who knows where they're lined up now, it could one of about 4 or 5 different lineups... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 I think Issey has played up front before. Only 5 minutes left, so he just needs to run his butt off and keep up moving. Yes Issey plays alone up top for Horsens, at least from the match I watched Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyslexic nam Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Woo Hoo! Great game (?) At least it sounded llike we were pretty dominant - especially in the first half. We didn't have a 2nd half collapse, so hopefully this is a sign of things to come. Great result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 "Andre Hainault takes 3 flights to get here from Seattle, one training session. Scores the winner, flies back tomorrow. Thank you very much!"

gator Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Great result! Well done lads! That was harder to follow than a live video stream because of the suspense but kudos to SN for at least giving us Gerry's tweets! Better than reading about it after the fact I suppose!

phil7777 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Wow this game will make wonders on the MNT confidence level. It seems that well-organize preparation made the difference - especially in the second half where we didn't collapse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Solid victory for Canada. Maybe the players are taking MNT training more seriously as was commented earlier in the week. Jason Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gigi riva Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 Awesome guys. This will be great come this Summer. Hopefully they can build from this. I know it is Belarus, But a win is a win. Congrats to Hainault for travelling about 10 timezones and scoring. aND NOW LETS HOPE SOME THE PLAYERS WHO ARE Humming and Hawing about joining are MNT MIGHT CHANGE THERE perspective with this result.
