Obinna Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Did I dream that Venegas was out with an injury? Could mean Joel Campbell gets the nod. I don't understand why sometimes he comes off the bench for Costa Rica. My theory is lack of playing time at club level, whether it be Sporting, Villarreal, or Arsenal. Anyone else notice this trend or is it just me? If so, can you theorize on why he does not start? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few more hours / beers on that ledge and finding the stadium might end up proving difficult. Awesome you made it down! Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If i were the coach he'd be in my XI every game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I believe this game is being played in the same stadium where we wilted and died in the heat two years ago against Jamaica and gave up a late goal with about three Jamaicans left unmarked in the box as our tired forwards didn't track back with some of the Jamaican deep players who pushed up. Our team spent most of the match chasing the ball (even in a 0-0 draw for the first 90 minutes of the match). Hopefully history doesn't repeat itself here. Fielding a more talented squad with fresh legs and maybe getting a goal of our own in the first half would help in that regard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Both games Canada has played here have been very slow.. we also drew the USA in 2013 away. Of course we didn't have the young legs and star players that we do now so maybe that changes and we can do damage on the counter. I expect a game where we stay patient and keep our shape, conserve energy and explode late on with additions like ricketts and Edwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sport Shaman Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 We took a bit of a break from drinking beer on the balcony to get some vermicelli bowls around the corner here and did a bit of a stadium walkabout. The match day crew is hard at work getting everything ready for the fan zone, all the TV crew trailers are in place and the back bar at Lucky's is ready to go.

Ngravs Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Can someone give me a prediction of the score tonight I'd like to place a wager. I'm saying 2-2 which pays 22:1 but I'd like a fellow voyageur to help me win or lose money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm sure the odds would reflect that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 I say we win 2-1. Not sure if that is hope or stupidity, but I'm getting a pro line inkling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bison44 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Quick, paint a maple leaf on your belly, you'll get interviewed at halftime. On a side note, my wife was quite striken with you if you were the gentleman they kept showing during the FG game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
