shamrock Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I rate Jamaica above Canada at this point as well (as the consensus here seems to be). BUT, sometimes it takes a better opponent to bring out better play. If we manage to play to our full extend, without pressure so to say, why not beat them 2-1? After falling behind that is.

gigi riva Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I understand it will be very hot in Houston today. Hopefully out boys will play a lot better against better competion today. I got to ber honest I didi not expect a lot in this tourney I was hoping they would use this as experience come world cup qualifying but this is opportunity for our boys to do something for confidence reasons.

Keegan Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 The one player who worries me a lot is Giles Barnes, he killed Toronto earlier this year. Of course Canada is much tighter than Toronto at the back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Certainly a different dynamic in terms of the style of the opposition. I didn't see their match vs CR but I'm speculating that they'll be a more direct team looking to spring their front runners. But in the hot, energy sapping humidity keeping the ball is the best defense and I wouldn't be surprised to see a player selection that reflects that, so for the Bekker haterz out there, be forewarned should De Guzman once again be unable to go. I think we can grind out a result here, perhaps nip all the points off a counterattack: go Cyle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They scored twice on laughably bad defending by CR, as long as things stay solid they didn't look very threatening at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Canadian Pride Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Probably won't happen, but I really hope Jackson starts in the place of ricketts. Ricketts really isn't good, all he offers is a sprinters speed. But this is not a race, it's a soccer game and he has nothing else to offer. Jackson is far better Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktf Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 Well here we go. The cycle of emotions begins again. El Salvador game ends... Disappointment, anger, acceptance, searching for positives, believing the positives, genuine hope, excitement... Game time. Line-up: Hopeful Larin De Jong, Akindele Osorio, Teibert Piette Morgan,Jakovic,Edgar,Ledgerwood Stamp That's what I want, I know it probably won't happen. I assume the three forwards will be the same. I am hopeful that that is the only difference from my line-up. Also for the first time in my life I am actually supporting Ledgerwood starting (O god) His painful mediocrity has won me over if for no other reason then he is not awful (most of the time).

This is my line up as well. De jong for ricketts. Morgan osorio teibert in. Toss up between piette or jdg. Ledgerwood doesnt make big plays. But hes pretty steady as well and doesnt mess up too often. Ive been happy with his steady eddy play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

madmonte Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 I'm okay with that lineup. I'm also okay with a few changes up top if for no other reason than man management. USA has a lot of depth, and made 8 changes to their starting lineup. Perhaps Floro will also demonstrate depth and have a huge lineup change. The ONLY thing I don't want to see is Bekker and Straith. No offense to either player but they aren't at the level required for a competition of this caliber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mapleblood Posted July 11, 2015 Share Posted July 11, 2015 It's the word before "........ dynamite" hot here, which is both great and not. If you're in Houston, meet us at Lucky's. On the patio in the back at the horseshoe bar, Bob the Canadian bartender will be serving us. Sports Shaman and I will be there around 15:45.
