Simon Thomas for Larin, probably. (sarcasm... I hope)

mexico better fucking beat honduras at home

It doesn't even matter. We're fucked for GD so we need to draw in Honduras ?, beat ES at home and hope for Honduras to not win at Azteca.

[apbsmith]

Victoria & Edgar would look so solid at CB, tall bodies, heading ability ( the inability of our CB's defending crosses cost us at least 1, arguably 2 goals at home) and the victoria/edgar right/left foot compliment each other so well. Ugh

Crashing out of this campaign. Crazy how much can change in half a week. 

Anyone who has watched enough CMNT knew how badly the result in ES was. Now we're seeing why.

After watching the first half of ES-HON in Honduras, I just don't see us getting a point there. It would take one of the greatest draws in CMNT history, quite honestly.

they need to do something more than they normally do to get to the hex. I think a tie in Honduras and a win at home to El Salv is a fair requirement to get there.

so it does matter. we need mexico to get a result against honduras

Oh well I think you can almost start saying goodbye to the Hex, we are going to have to almost win in Honduras , highly unlucky, and of course then beat El Salvador at home, it's just too damn bad would have loved to have seen what kind of hype this team could have built with the casual fans and mainstream media man this sucks .

let's be honest, no matter what Floro did tonight would have made a difference. Even if we had Jesus as a coach, even he couldn't produce that big of a miracle that could get us a result against Mexico

Much like the loss in Vancouver - it isn't that we lose, it is HOW we lose.  Tonight, the 2 goals resulted from

- a bonehead penalty conceded by a gaffe-prone player being played out of position and selected in front of much better players.

- 5 guys watching an attacker chase the ball, do a pirouette, and bury it.

Yes, we expect to lose against Mexico.  But not like that.

draw and win could very well do it

[Soccerpro]

Why can't Cyle Larin trap a simple ball in a Canada jersey, but he can score a goal every game in Orlando?

Its got nothing to do with service, he can't do anything when he plays for Canada. His finishing is awful, his shielding of the ball is bad, his passing is bad, everything.

[apbsmith]

At least for the mexico - honduras game.... mexico made quite a few changes in our 2 games.... every aspects - D - Mids- strikers. Depth is there for them to beat Honduras at azteca

Wait, if we tie H in game 5 and H lose to Mexico, then H ends with 5 points.  We could get to 6 points with another draw vs. ES. No?

Sure, but the point everyone who is griping is trying to make is that it was completely unnecessary for us to need that road draw if we had accepted the gift handed to us with the ES player strike. Inexcusable.

[KMB]

As depressed as I am right now, let's not lose hope already about the Hex.  Still two games to play, we are still in a decent position to qualify.  Let's hope team selection is better in september though.  But let's not give up on Canada yet

Mexico is in the hex with a tie so why the f#%+ are they beating us if they hate Honduras so much???

Disagree. Larin has been one of the best players on the field tonight imo.

Basically alone, has succesfully pressured Mexican defenders on long balls into awkward situations, was able to get us two corner kicks, and is making positive runs on balls that don't get to him.

He and De Jong are playing as good a game as I could expect them to under the circumstances.

Unfortunately, Floro seems determined to make sure Larin can never get his head onto a dead ball whipped into the box.

We have 1 goal in 4 games. That goal was a header that bounced off a Canadian player's back, who was lying on the ground.

Ill let that settle in.

No. We don't need Mexico to WIN, we need them to not LOSE. Check what you said.

[Bully]

Darn. Well that was fun lads. Too bad there was a lot of hype and again the train is going to crash. 

Guess we can look forward to the gold cup!
