Akendele would be my first call though. Akindele is the only player IMO that's deserving of a call up tbh. grigorio, costarg, gator and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) Some US tv ratings for Gold Cup. On Fox, Canada v USA got 1.4 million. Up 15% compared to last time main Fox showed a Gold Cup match in 2017. Maybe another million on Univision based on averages. Later that night, Mexico vs ES got 4.1 million. Most watched group stage Gold Cup match since 2011. Only 323k on FSI but Univision got 3.8 million. Univision has been averaging 2.9 million for Mexico and 1.2 million for all Gold Cup matches.

johnyb Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Looks like both teams are resting quite a few starters. Guess they don't see much advantage to playing CMNT over the US. narduch, dyslexic nam, Craig11rm and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gian-Luca Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 The lack of crowd makes me think that all those huge Costa Rican crowds that we have seen in past Gold Cups had a huge percentage coming from Costa Rica Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RJB Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 Seems really bizarre that these final group games are coming two days after the previous. At the very least, they could have had games yesterday as well. It creates a two day(!!) advantage for Canada and USA in the QF. Has this advantage happened in any other tournaments?

Stryker911 Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 (edited) I thought with all the injuries we would look pretty weak, but I actually still feel good about the qf. Our team is so deep and the guys can play multiple positions. This would be my ideal lineup and it still leaves us with a bench of Henry, Sturing, Kaye, Fraser, Paton, Pasher, and Corbeanu. Obviously not as deep, but can still make some pretty positive substitutions and switch up tactics. I domt know if it was mentioned much, but last game I really like how Buchanan and Laryea switched sides a couple times. Such a good way to mix up the defense and get a run at a different guy. It would actually be good to have one as a FB and one as a winger; and let them interchange.

Me and my buddies were heckling/yelling "ICE GLOVE BLAKE" all 2nd half, after we switched ends to watch Canada attack.

Cheeta Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 This Suriname/Guadalupe match is fun. One-one at the half, Guadalupe down to 10 men after a VAR consult (there's VAR at this tournie?) and both teams have hit the frame twice? Weeee!!!!!

Given the way our defence can seem pressured and Herdman’s preference for the 3-5-2, I would like to see both Piette and Eustaquio on the field at the same time if we go that route to make sure we don’t get exposed defensively again I am thinking something like this. apbsmith, Club Linesman and Addona 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like this a lot, especially if Oso, Cava and Hoilett are fluid in that front triangle. It is still a strong side, with some good guys coming off the bench.

Basically all the same players. I would think Johnston is a Hardman favorite for the rcb role. With all the injuries the lineup is pretty straightforward. Herdman may want to go with one or both of Fraser and Kaye instead of Osorio and Piette. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
