He had a big grin leaving the pitch and was seen giggling with Herdman after the match and cracking jokes in the post-game interview that you can see on TSN's website. Really? Did you see the extended interview where he said that he was upset that he had to play today because he missed part of the Argentina - Qatar match. Something too about getting to watch "real national teams". longlugan, CanadaFan123, deschamp86 and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After he was subbed he seemed to walk off and then after the match he was seen saying something to Herdman and he didn’t look happy... a little upset. Herdman seemed to encourage him and then he walked to the pitch and said something to the refs. So maybe completely unrelated but just seemed off. Not sure we saw the same thing. I saw herdman and cav casually joking it up in that instance. Cav was cracking a smile, he definitely wasnt upset. Looked like one of them told a joke.

Moldy9 Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 2 hours ago, CanadaFan123 said: Does anyone know why he took the PK from arfield? Did he think the first goal was an OG (which it was initially and it’s complete BS)? Or did he say to Arfield “look I’m on the verge of a big move, let me pad my stats here”. FWIW he looked upset leaving the pitch and at the end of the game he said something to Herdman. Almost looked like he had tears. Maybe (hopefully) he felt bad about taking a PK from his captain and missing. I think he was going for the hat trick cause it was described at first as an own goal on RDS. And looking at the body language and facial expression of Arfield and Cav it did look as if Cav and Arfield were saying about doing something cheeky with a snicker. It backfired Herdman was uneasily laughing it off. Then at the end it looked live Cav said to Herdman sorry for the missed pk which Herdman shrugged off saying it’s ok. I could be wrong. h coach, CanadaFan123 and johnyb 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corazon Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Unfortunately I missed the game last night but I was at the game in Toronto vs Dominica last fall and if you all re-watch the highlights of that game you will also clearly see Cavallini grab the ball away from Hoilett demanding to take the penalty. Junior did not seem amused but let it go and Cavallini ended up scoring a paneka. But if that has now happened twice in less than a year, then its very disappointing to hear. Still currently our striker but to be taking penalties away from your teammates is unacceptable. Perhaps Herdman can step and put a stop to it. No one wants to stand up against Cavallini and I can't say I blame them. 😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 Ya Captain ALWAYS makes the call. Maybe Cav wanted the Hatty or said he was in running for scoring leader and asked, and Arfield as the class act and captain he is, gave the go ahead.

SkuseisLoose Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 So I went and checked it out Cavallini is 5/7 for penalties in his career but has missed his last 2. Arfield is 6/8 but hasn’t taken a penalty since 2015 and hasn’t scored one since 2010 when he was with falkirk. Other than that most of our players haven’t taken one or scored one. Hutchison scored one against Bulgaria in a friendly in 2014 and Teibert scored one against Dominica in 2015. So from this information I can conclude we don’t have a player who is super great at penalties but Cavallini should probably be our number one.

Kent Posted June 24, 2019 Share Posted June 24, 2019 I'm only guessing, but I bet David is good at penalties. I'd pick him for a shootout for sure. I think if I could choose 5 from our full 23 player roster I would choose, in no particular order... Johnathan David, Atiba Hutchinson, Mark-Anthony Kaye, Scott Arfield, Junior Hoilett. This is based on about 0 information because I don't remember seeing any of those guys take a penalty (maybe Hoilett has missed one for Canada now that I think about it a bit more). Davies would definitely be a contender to take one. I picked Kaye because I feel like he has the calm under pressure needed to do well in a shoot out scenario. Same thing with Hutch. I'm not against Cavallini taking one, but next time he should probably just hit it because there is now a trend for keepers to go off of.

He must have taken a bunch at some point? Honestly, David will likely become our permanent #1 PK taker, just a matter of time. Also hard to knock Cav on that PK, goalie 2 feet off line and a Cuban running in your peripheral vision. He must have been like WTF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stryker911 Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) I do know that David missed his shot in the shootout of the Belgian cup semi-final. They ended up advancing as the guy after him scored. I actually wonder if Cornelius would be good at them. Used to play as a forward and seems composed when given an opportunity.

apbsmith Posted June 25, 2019 Share Posted June 25, 2019 (edited) Reading the twitter comments was entertaining, he will be very welcomed. Atlas are restructuring the entire club and the new ownership group is willing to spend, think that plays a factor. Score a goal against Mexico's national team, followed by a hat trick the next game and every Liga MX club team fan wants you on their team. To be honest most Liga MX fans would already have wanted Cav on their team. Edited June 26, 2019 by apbsmith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, the Canada Soccer Instagram account put the proverbial cart before the horse and congratulated Cavallini on his transfer to Atlas, with the only problem being that it hasn’t happened yet. Fans were quick to point out that neither Pueblo or Atlas had officially recognized a transfer of any sort, and Canada Soccer quickly took down the Instagram post. Neither Canada Soccer, Puebla, or Atlas has offered an update since – but it’s highly suspect that the CSA would make a social media post like that, even by mistake, without some kind of insider knowledge." johnyb, Olympique_de_Marseille and Obinna 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
