Thought he was the worst player on the pitch in the first half and if it wasn’t for the goals that would have continued. Just my opinion but he will most definitely be surpassed by all those that are missing (Weah, Sargent etc.). He’s like a Wotherspoon to their pool. @Obinna I agree with those who say Arriola was great. Thought he was a stud for them.

Weah will come in at some point, but Sargent is not a wing player. Fortunately for Boyd he's only 24, so he has more time than Wotherspoon to make an impression. I'll keep a close eye on Boyd's performance next match against T&T. CanadaFan123 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to say that I absolutely do not think Boyd was the worst player on the pitch for the first half!!! Far from it ... I'm not saying he was spectacular, and surely some of the credit he got was because of the 2 goals (which can sometimes be random events), but he's a different sort of player than the U.S. typically has and he showed a ton of energy, so I really don't think he'll be gone from the pool after this GC. I'm less convinced by Weah than most others seem to be ... and the jury is still out on Sargent. Obinna 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

apbsmith Posted June 19, 2019 Share Posted June 19, 2019 (edited) Whenever I see Arriola... All I think about are two things: 1) Big move to go from a regular in Liga MX to a designated player with DC United. 2) How ZBG owned him 1v1 all match when they went head to head this season, and Arriola threw a hissy fit after one of the many clean tackles. #2 will never leave my mind :).

dyslexic nam Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Cuba Martinique is interesting. Neither one looking great. A missed penalty is the only thing that prevented Martinique from taking a 2-0 lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hodgkiss Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 I really hope we have familiar voices for the call tonight. This live call for Martinique vs Cuba is so damn annoying. I may have to mute it if it continues. king1010 and dyslexic nam 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lansdude Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Watching Argentina - Paraguay right now, Argentina clearly have the upper hand and Paraguay are stalling like crazy. I think the bad sportsmanship in CONMEBOL might give CONCACAF a run for its money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's absurd that in the most popular sport in the world you can game the clock like ten minutes in your favour. The ref actually gave 7 minutes of added time in this one, but I swear almost half of the second 45 was dead time with guys lying on the field, after the whistle jostling, players taking a minute to come off for a sub, etc. It's a joke.

shamrock Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 Ok lets beat Cuba and continue to the next round. I think this game will provide an excellent opportunity to captie both Miller and Okello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can’t switch the lineup every game and to be honest neither of those players are unlikely to not play for us, so if we are going to captie them it will more likely be in the CNL in fall.

Obinna Posted June 20, 2019 Share Posted June 20, 2019 So two games in. Beat Martinique 4-0 (which is a great result) and didn't embarrass ourselves against Mexico as we made them work to beat us 3-1. So far, so good. Next up...Cuba. I'm thinking: Hoilett-----Larin----Millar Teibert----Piette----Johnson Morgan--Miller--Henry--Godinho ----------------Borjan------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah it does lack some attacking potential, doesn't it? Herdman has talked before about the offensive possibilities of Teibert, so I wouldn't be surprised to see those 3 start and perhaps bring on Osorio and/or Arfield if we are struggling to generate chances. He'll probably want to save them if he can. Same goes for Kaye. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps also put in Crepeau for a game. Realistically Martinique would need to reverse a +3 goal differential to take that our spot,which won't happen so even if we don't play great we are still going through. With hopefully 2 games in 4 days need to keep everyone fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
