BearcatSA Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 I'm still in Vietnam so I will have to watch recordings of the upcoming matches following my return. For starting selection I'm guessing: Edgar reclaims his place ahead of Straith (who should be a first choice DM sub); the RB spot is a toss up between Ouimette and Henry; Larin will start but give way to Haber; and new boy Arfield will be a sub. I'm particularly interested in seeing how JDG does and how long he lasts in this match. Floro's first priority is defending (see his recent interview in RNO), so his tactics and selection will continue to reflect that. Finally, I hope the home support is rocking like it was when I attended the Honduras game. Man, I wish I could be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Markus Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 It's almost 3am here on the west coast and I'm reading msg boards repeatedly to try to quell my excitement (and nervousness) about this game. If you're like me and can't seem to get enough before Friday, here are a couple of good podcasts you can download. FTBL (From the back line) ep. 121, and The AFTN soccer podcast episode 151. Lots of good insight into Friday's game. Just two more sleeps! If I can get any. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpg75 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 So between ticket sales and TV rights it looks like the CSA will be netting atleast a couple million from this game. Good business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Good analysis of possible Tri lineup, here. Looks like they want to attack in a 4-3-3, so our best counter would be to populate the midfield to outnumber them. They also argue their attack is currently their weakest link: http://laseleccion.com.mx/mexico-once-inicial-vs-canada-eliminatorias-rusia-2018 Are you aware Carlos Vela was not called because his club Real Sociedad asked them not to, since he was caught missing training and lying about it, he was in a party the night before in Madrid and not ill as he'd said. And an interesting article about how their "puto!" cheer when keepers kick out at Azteca could make them lose points or be sanctioned for being homophobic. Some great comments, including some saying they should just say "FIFA", as a euphemism, everyone will know what they are talking about. http://laseleccion.com.mx/canticos-racistas-tri-corre-riesgo-de-quita-de-puntos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting a player who isn't seeing much PT in the strongest second division in the world or a guy like Arfield who's seeing a lot of PT at a lesser level. Should be an interesting debate! This idea that teams in Unattached FC are in the best 2nd division in the world, now there's something to really discuss. Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarnado1555362291 Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 Three big starting lineup questions for me ahead of this game 1. Arfield or Ricketts on the right 2. Who will play alongside Edgar in the centre: Jakovic (Gold cup), Straith(v Honduras)...or does Vitoria/Henry get in? 3. At right back, for me, it's between Ledgerwood and Ouimette, Nik seems to always get the start when he is called.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS Posted March 24, 2016 Share Posted March 24, 2016 "Those three points mean everything because if we win we'll look good for getting to the Hex.
