apbsmith Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 I was being somewhat sarcastic, whoever the US roll out, they will be competitive. The US simply have way more depth compared to us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The majority of Mexican players rep the El Tri with so much pride. For a handful of those players called they will go full throttle to impress the coach. It might be there only chance. I'd be more worried if they call in an U23 side. Liga MX and MLS has enough depth to beat Panama...at least I hope so. Shway 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of Mexican fans already think they should be calling more domestic players. Outside of the big names in Europe like Raul, Chucky, etc. they make the argument for ligamx players ahead of lesser players in Europe to fill out the roster. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shway Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Liga MX is soo deep in quality, there won't be much effect to the result. Mexico's C team or allstars would still be considered dangerous in Concacaf. I agree with what @apbsmith said of being "more worried if they call in an U23 side."...that's a different story. apbsmith 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lamptern Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) This is simply pissed me off: The last game of our group with be USA plays Cuba at home! That means they know how many goals they need to take the lead of a tie break if US and CANADA have identical points. I know the seeded team has to have some advantage. But this is insane. Why not let the top two teams clash for the last round? I still scrap my head: we have an Canadian CONCACAF chairman...... Then we have this historical xxxx WCQ format, then we have this xxxx Nations League schedule..... I would like Mr Warner back.

Kent Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 (edited) I think the schedule is actually OK for us. We never have to play a team when they are more rested than us. Even if the last two USA games were reversed they would still essentially know how many goals they need against Cuba. If the first Canada vs USA game was a draw then they have to do better than +7 against Cuba. If we win the home game, thus forcing USA to beat us in USA, they would just do the math on a 1 goal win vs us and see how much they need against Cuba. Edited September 13, 2019 by Kent Thus, not this. apbsmith and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shorty Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 I agree with Kent. Plus, if we’re aspiring to the next level, we need a new attitude. Fuck the schedule—take at least 4 points from the US and leave them with a meaningless last game for second place. How enjoyable will that be? The MLS pundits will have a complete meltdown. dyslexic nam, SpursFlu, Club Linesman and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpursFlu Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 4 points, that's the goal. Write it on the chalk board, take a picture. I think we're a slam dunk for the HEX if that happens Obinna and johnyb 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted September 13, 2019 Share Posted September 13, 2019 Gotta get at least 4 from the USA and knock them out the old fashion way. To be the best you have to beat the best. They have more depth than us, but aside from their one special player we can match them man-for-man. You can only play 3 subs in a match, so their superior depth counts for little. Any of our subs will be as talented as theirs. It's going to be about who wants it more. Despite their insistence on possession football, they are not Spain. They are not even Mexico. El Tri pressed them, we would be wise to do the same. johnyb, Shortdutchcanuck, costarg and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is where Cav will be a welcome addition back into the line. He tends to hound people trying to pass around the back. With David and Davies doing the same, anyone not expert at knocking it around might have a tough game.

shorty Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Press Bradley hard if they play him. He still has some decent games for TFC but you can see he’s lost a step and has coughed the ball up many times in the last year resulting in dangerous turnovers.

Guess he could always go back to Bradley here and there depending on the window but in 2022 I doubt he's still around. Getting the young guys woven into the new system over the next few years is going to be the priority. I bet we see don't see Bradley in October.

Adams is still injured, Wil Trapp is terrible, and Weston McKennie is in poor form. Given where the Oct. 15 match is being played, it's a good bet Bradley is on the USMNT roster, if not starting. hamiltonfan and Obinna 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, but Adams doesn't provide the passing range that Bradley does (as @PopePouri stated). Adams is better in every other facet of the game now, but a good-passing 6 is paramount to Berhalter's system. If anything, they could even play together.

BrennanFan Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 I hope Bradley plays. He coughs up the ball regularly and is slower than a 36 year old Hutchinson. He is a pathetic ball hogging, lateral passing, shadow of his former self who in his prime couldn't hack it in Europe, and let's not forget the time he went studs first to the back of Julian deGuzman's knee at the '07 Gold Cup. All of his penalty misses for TFC show how truly gutless he is. NVsoccer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Club Linesman Posted September 14, 2019 Share Posted September 14, 2019 Have to say your comments were a little harsh. Suffice to say he is slowing down but he is still among the best CDM in MLS and without him we don’t make 3 finals and win 1. I love the fact that Atiba is better, but Bradley has been a great team leader and an important part of TFC’s winning run. And I would love it if we free up 5 million and let Fraser take his spot next year. But give him his deserved credit. Obinna and Califax 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
