Were there any illegal streams(or legal streams for those outside of Canada) for the previous game? Will there be any for this one?

Yes, several. The video I posted came from one of those. I plan to do the same for this match (and the U20 match being played at the same time).

Has Bernier ever had a good game for Canada? I don't rememver ever beng impressed with him in the red and white. He's also been utter crap this game too.

He's had maybe a handful of good outings compared to dozens of crappy ones. We'd be better off giving his spot to a young player.

De Ro penalty after Karl Ouimette drew the foul.  Was a nice run, got the better of his man on the left and was in the box before being clumsily challenged.

 

Iceland's goal was on a penalty as well from a James foul.  James actually looked OK in the first half but started to make some sloppy fouls in the 2nd.

 

We had some nice passing play at times, especially in the first half but as usual no finish.  JDG looked OK from what I saw

Tissot looked good also. I really liked James over the two games and he has at least put himself into the CB of the future discussion although he will likely only be a backup in the near future. At the end he got careless with his fouls and gave up the penalty and Floro wisely took him off before he got a 2nd yellow but I think that can get trained out of him. Jackovic was better today than the last game but still a bit disappointing and error prone. That is the big negative of the two games because he may be needed. I have always thought he has a better skillset for RB than CB and his errors would be less serious there. Stama and DeRo will not be first choice for us but both showed they could be useful if we need them. JDG had a few good moments also. Overall I think we played pretty well over the two games against a team while also missing some key players was still better on paper than we were and we were unlucky not to get two ties instead of a tie and a loss.

I hope to see Henry and Edgar as our CBs. Or have Ouimette at CB. He's a decent LB but I think he's better in the middle. Happy to see how much better James is too.

 

We are set for wingers. Unfortuneatly, while I like Issey, I think his time is over with Petrasso, Tissot, Teibert and potentially Aird coming through. Issey has been a steady guy, but he's the kind of guy with no real wow factor. Except his hair.

In case it didn't come across clearly on TV, we had a new player making his debut today - Laine Hume (courtesy of the PA announcer at the game). Even 'Laine' was surprised when he heard 'his' name announced as a substitute.

One other quick observation from being at the game - Benito clearly showed he was frustrated with his players quite a number of times during the game.
