Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Had we started a thread specifically for this game yet? -Crépeau to play either this game or the next one. -On the Cuba side, the defections have already begun: http://adncuba.com/deportes/david-urgelles-desercion-17-del-futbol-cubano-en-10-meses Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Over 40 players since 2002, that's pretty crazy when you think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyCircus Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I would like to watch this match, but can't find it in the TSN listings or even on the TSN Direct schedule (which I, as a Cogeco subscriber have no access to anyway, but that's another story). Is there any way to see this damn game? TSN in their wisdom have decided to put the same CFL game duplicated on three of their 5 channels tonight instead of showing our national team.

Mate, have you heard of OneSoccer yet? It’s the digital platform, accessible from any device with wifi, that is broadcasting all Canada, and Concacaf LN matches, and every single match from that league we just launched called the CPL...encourage all who are complaining about the game not on TSN to support a business that is investing in our football. game day!!!

WestHamCanadianinOxford Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Just noticed that Hoilett's club side have a game Friday night. Maybe play him in this one and give someone else a chance in the week? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JuicyHam Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I'm just excited to see the boys play. It'd be nice to learn from the Haiti loss and come away with some massive victories against Cuba going into the US game. Hoping we break our record Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympique_de_Marseille Posted September 7, 2019 Author Share Posted September 7, 2019 Orlendis Benítez now reported to have defected. http://adncuba.com/deportes/david-urgelles-desercion-17-del-futbol-cubano-en-10-meses The count is at 2. Rough year, for defections considering the Gold Cup, the U23 olympic qualifying and now this. I'll take any advantage we can get but this is just sad all 'round.

baulderdash77 Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 I feel a bad from a sporting perspective that Cuba has had so many defections. Their player base can’t be so broad as to lose this many players and our last game against them wasn’t very competitive. I certainly want to win but don’t really enjoy the 7-0, 8-0, 10-0 thrashings against a minnow team that’s completely depleted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know what you're saying, you want it to be a competitive test but we have no control of this, the Cubans will not give up and they will be athletic! This is a chance for Mr. Herdman once again to try to see who plays well where and which formation works, obviously the dynamics will be different vs the US, I'm looking forward to seeing all of our young talent live even if it's in a match we should very well dominate!

BrennanFan Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 This Cuba team is no longer the semi competitive Cuba we saw in 2012. Their form has dropped bigtime. These 2 games will be nothing more than an exercise in running up the score as much as possible. Our group will most likely be determined by goal differential. We must show them No Mercy. I want to see us put 10 past Cuba tonite! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This Cuba team will be coming out on all cylinders looking for revenge and with a new coach - the boys can’t be complacent. Despite their poor GC, Cuba did well in qualifying just narrowly losing to Haiti on the road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keep in mind Cuba will have as many or most likely even more defections before the US game and you can bet the Americans won’t take their foot of the gas. It is unfortunate but we need to destroy Cuba tonight so that getting 2 draws against the US may actually be enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Given it is a three team group, it is 100% necessary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gator Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 With many of these players coming from local clubs you would think one of the club grounds could have hosted the match next week, I'm still bitter a week away to Cuba never happened!

damaaster Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 After attending 2 Valour games (and deciding to get season tickets next year) coupled with the Mens/Womens games...I signed up for a yearly Onesoccer subscription. Looking forward to the game tonight. I haven't heard much - I hope the quality is decent. I plan to chromecast it to my TV. Any idea if they have or will be getting an app for XBOXone?

damaaster Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Oh damn...I Just noticed it says "canada mens and womens HOME games". Does this mean there will be no way to watch any of the away games - or will TSN or another broadcaster pick those up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much is this is possible, I disagree completely that it is likely. Points against the USA are not likely: A draw at home would be a great result, and to get anything on the road would be amazing.

Piette Hoillet - Kaye - Osorio - Davies David Miller doesn’t seem right, and Kaye or Davies could slot in at LB, but seems unlikely that you would push Miller into mid while leaving the guys on the bench that we have. Seems weird that Adekugbe or Cordova didn’t get the nod. Am I missing something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
