This is where we really miss HUTCH starting to show now in that CDM role. EVEN JDG would be great to bring in right now.

If I had to choose one tactic I hated in soccer it would be the short corner, I understand it's not get a guy free in the box but for the amount of times it fails and you don't even get a cross it's not worth it

[killgod]

LOLOLOLOLOL

[Addona]

That was the best header I've ever seen for a MNT goal!!!

[king1010]

thats what hoilett brings. puts the defence under pressure. 

nice move down the wings

[Alex1775]

lmao own goal

 

[apbsmith]

HAHAHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAHHA..... nice dangle by JH to put the cross in regardless. He feared hume coming in behind FTW.

[shermanator]

Fucking Uzbeki's! An own goal gives Canada the 2-1 lead! Haber would be jealous of that diving header.

[nazzer]

that was a pretty nice header for the goal there.... 

[CowTipper]

Beautifully placed header!  LOL

[adrenaline11]

Yes, sweet header indeed.

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Not just us who can defend poorly. 

I'll take it.

[king1010]

edgar and hoilett off for jackson and petrasso

I think floro actually just made offensive subs

[Watchmen]

That header is so bad you wonder about a fix.

if that happened to us it would've been "our defending sucks" but of course the other team is way above doing something like that so it must be a fix

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Would love Henry to develop into a decent right back for club and country but not seeing again today.

[shermanator]

Great save by Stama on the point blank chance

It looked to me that a young/inexperienced kid was just trying too hard to clear a ball under pressure. You can tell that their keeper felt bad for him afterward.

he can be a quality CB. not RB

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Possibly but there is a surplus of those both places he plays.

Fair enough.

[killgod]

we just beat a team ranked 30 spots higher than us.  neato

[shermanator]

VERYYYYY NIIIICEEEEE

[nazzer]

A win and a draw against not horrible opponents, that's not bad. 

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

Decent win.

Love the kind-sounding thanks from the Austrian announcer.
