With that in mind, maybe the regional CGI ads for the Caps game should feature a promo for the BC Lotteries Corporation 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was pretty good, I was going to say how much, then he put a foot in where he shouldn't and we were back to square one with our CB pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Free kick Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, Gian-Luca said: Pretty stinky call to eliminate Houston. I thought there was no chance NYFC weren't going home and yet they are playing TFC now. Would have preferred Vancouver for tons of reasons. i have never seen a 24 team tourney where this many teams with losing records advance to the next round. Prediction: one of them will win the tourney. Yes. As i type, its half time in second game. So far neither of the results in tonights game are going the way i would have liked. In tournaments like this, when you get to the knockout round it doesnt favour the teams who like to assert themselves on game. Instead, it favours teams who are passive Edited July 24, 2020 by Free kick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gian-Luca Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 In addition to the goal, Kaye has been spraying some nice diagonal pin point balls to the wingers on the left. I look forward to seeing him do that with Alphonso Davies on the end of one of those for the national team. The only thing is that he seems to have a lot of time on the ball to make such passes in MLS and one wonders if that will be the case against the better Concacaf teams.

Big_M Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 first match of knockout phase..orlando vs montreal..0-0 at the break..it was mostly orlando but mtl had a good 5-10 min..if tied goes straight to shootouts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 (edited) Really poor half I thought from Taider. He'd get the ball in decent positions, stop, wait a beat, and then deliver a ball that more often than not was intercepted. No flow to his game. Montreal was static in the final third so not all on him but I think he has the ability to be better. Also contributes nothing defensively. Really highlights how vital Piatti has been to Montreal over the years. Also not a fan of what Corrales has to offer.

If he's not your central DM, he should not be playing at all. Same for Canada. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big_M Posted July 26, 2020 Author Share Posted July 26, 2020 even at dm he has that issue and if he loses the ball in the dm position its even more dangerous..has nothing to do with position but awareness and protecting the ball Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen enough of his play that he doesn't make that mistake in his preferred position. And again, his teammates need to give a shout when he's being tackled from his blind side.

If that's what a D3 Spain player does, then fine. He doesn't have all the skill in the world but fills a certain role better than most. Ask him to do something else and he's not a very valuable player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
