Friendly - Colombia vs. Canada - October 14, 2014 - POST-match [R]

[SthMelbRed]

Is that full-time?

[beachesl]

Yes, we looked good.

[Redcoatsforever]

Disappointed not to see rising superstar Boakai out there. Aside from that, we looked pretty great. Bad luck for Ricketts not getting that early goal.

[hamiltonfan]

Very proud of our boys, and confident in Floro's approach.

[SCF08]

Is that full-time?

 

Yes, 1-0 Colombia.

 

Very disappointing to not see the younger players in action. Aparicio and Hamilton coming on in the 91st minute was a joke with 30 secs to play.

 

The youth is the future and these kids should get every opportunity to get the experience of playing a Colombian team like this. 

[shermanator]

A 1-0 loss against the #3 ranked team in the world is nothing to be ashamed of. Took a wonder strike from the World Cup Golden Boot winner to beat us.

Things are looking up

[Bertuzzi44]

Not bad!

[nolando]

Larin looked great on his couple of touches.

[JamboAl]

I must say that was very encouraging.  We were outplayed as expected but we looked quite organised.  Things look promising folks.

[adrenaline11]

Yeah absolutely, there's nothing to be ashamed of. We looked like we're playing more cohesively than we did this time last year.

[shermanator]

Also, I think Edgar and Hainault played tremendously tonight. Henry had a rough outing, hope that means the experiment at RB is over

[Olympique_de_Marseille]

I must say that was very encouraging.  We were outplayed as expected but we looked quite organised.  Things look promising folks.

 

Agreed. I'm a bit sad I didn't manage to make it down to the NYC area for this. My plans fell through.

 

The future is brighter than we think.

 

RUSSIA 2018!

[TFC07]

Given we were missing good chunk of players, we played well against one of the best teams in the world.   Nothing to be shame about this result.  

 

Hopefully we get full team for next game (against Panama) so we can see what Canada is capable of doing.  

[Red and White]

Proud of the result tonight. Gutted that we couldn't get the result, but we played great nontheless.

 

De Guzman was a beast. He still has something left in the tank. Credit to Doniel Henry in my opinion. He looked awkward going forward, but some of his tackles were good and he was a solid presence all night. Edgar was solid. Milan Borjan with a solid night too. Great effort from every player on the pitch,

 

Cyle Larin impressed me in the few minutes he was on. He had one amazing play where he created space for himself and tested the Colombian goalkeeper.

 

No shame in letting one get away from James Rodriguez.

[theaub]

Has #CanMNT ever been the #1 trending twitter topic in Canada like it is now?  Maybe more people saw this than I thought.

[Miche]

I must say that was very encouraging.  We were outplayed as expected but we looked quite organised.  Things look promising folks.

+1

 

Best '1-0 loss worth staying up for' so far!

[hamiltonfan]

I can not wait to take it to Panama in their own park.

[kingvikingstad]

We looked great. I was thoroughly impressed. It's impossible to say, but without the masterclass strike from James I think we hold them at bay. 

JDG looked like early-2000s JDG, it was completely refreshing. 

 

More than anything, we looked like a team; a team that has practiced together and is coached very well. This result gives me a lot of hope for the Gold Cup and WCQ. Floro deserves a tonne of credit.

 

Furthermore, Larin looked blast out of a cannon when he came on. I was really impressed with him as well.

And our back four was superb defensively.

I actually have nothing to complain about.

[king1010]

Yes, 1-0 Colombia.

Very disappointing to not see the younger players in action. Aparicio and Hamilton coming on in the 91st minute was a joke with 30 secs to play.

You're the most negative person i have met. We were tied till the 74th minute. Floro alrdy started making subs. We only had 6. Younger guys got a run out.

How the hell are u finding negatives. Give your head a shake

[Barthez-Battalion]

So happy with that performance. Borjan was a boss. Edgar put on a clinic and JGL looked amazing when he was brought on. Floro is worth every penny. Imagine how much better this team will be with Oso, Teibert, Atiba, and even Akindele and Tissot. I'm excited for the future.

[Cheeta]

In the name of The Father, The Son, and the Holy Spirit, Ahmen.  On this, Thanksgiving Week I'd like to give thanks to you, oh Lord, for David Edgar, The Guz, and Marcel de Jong.

[king1010]

Yes, 1-0 Colombia.

we have wcq in 7 months and gold cup in 8 months.

 

the future is now. 

 

games like this are for the team to prep for the meaningful games that are fast approaching. if youngsters can get a run out all the better. which they did tn

[ag futbol]

I only caught the end.  JGL has a ton of potential.  Great to see someone with a simple, yet refined game in the middle of the park. 

[king1010]

thought pacheco, de guzman, de jong, edgar, borjan and hainault played great tonight

[Barthez-Battalion]

Kristian jack just tweeted there is interest in mls for him at 150k. And he would be open to it.

I think he has german and greek offers but he wanted to be close to frankfurt

Thought he wanted to be closer to kids but id take jdg at 150k

Pachecho played really well. Would be great if he could move up to the portugese top flight.

Edgar has been a rock at the back. Could aee him back in the premier league

Cant do anythig ab james' goal. Thats what $100 million will get you.

Regarding Edgar, Problem is Birmingham have been crap, and he's a part of that.
