aloyol Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I'm wondering what will be Floro approach in case we're loosing by one goal in Honduras late in the game. Should we go all out in front to score a goal and risk to concede another or should we be more cautious knowing goal differential might come into play at the end?

MtlMario Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Call me a dreamer but I say we win 2-1. You heard it first here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ngravs9 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If we're starting this early in going Canada 2-0 after a 2-1 loss in Honduras and we make it on goal difference. Arfield and Larin score Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OnkelDal Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I just want us to score a goal, and preferably early. Not a good feeling only scoring one in this round which bounced off Larin's arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpg75 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 If we win it's probably by lulling the game into a quagmire and scoring late. If we score early they'll attack relentlessly and i don't like our chances of holding on for 70-80 minutes against a desperate Honduran team.

Ngravs9 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I agree I think if we keep it 0-0 they get frustrated (not quite desperate) they make stupid mistakes we score a goal at around 75th and park the bus they took to get there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure what I would do but the problem with the latter is that we then need Mexico to do a part of the job for us by winning against Honduras.

The last thing he would want is an extra goal against costing them the tie breaker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just saying, just because we still have a chance of advancing if we lose big many fans won't want to see a team who lost by huge margin to Honduras and have a 1% chance of advancing.

If we lose 5-0 in Honduras we would need a win vs. ES and a Honduras loss in Mex. totalling a combined 14 goals to avoid GF tiebreaker or by 13 goals and us scoring 9 or more with Hon not scoring in Mex.

jpg75 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 A simpler, more realistic scenario has us lose in Honduras 1-0. We would have 1GF 6GA for -5GD, HON would have 5/5 for 0GD. We would need a min. of 4-0 win plus Hon losing 1-0. Then i think it might go to coin toss if we're both even at 5GF 6GA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 I was just using the scenario michael brought up. what im trying to say is even if we have a slim chance it doesn't mean many casual fans will still show up in comparison to if we got a draw or narrow loss.

Would Mexico go out with their A team considering their exit at Copa and they are playing at home. If they do maybe we could hope for a 2-0 3-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bertuzzi44 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Floro will go for 0-0 in Honduras. Book it. So I expect a 1-0 or 2-0 loss. Not horrible, but, we can't score... #shouldhavebeatElSalvadorBteam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We drew Honduras at home 0-0 in 2012 and that missed opportunity cost us advancing to the Hex. We repeated our mistake. Big teams don't let mistakes go unpunished.
