Changed made.

Also,

Dayne St. Clair
Frank Sturing
Cristián Gutierrez
Jayden Nelson

better all play vs the Cayman Islands because our U24 squad (likely) could have used all of them.

 

My wishlist:

-Gutierrez on as left back on or before the 60th (send Davies further up the pitch?)

-Unlike @dyslexic nam I'm not on the Jayden Nelson hype train but if he wasn't with the U24s, send him on before the 80th minute (for Larin?)

Liam does need a goal for confidence(he needs to relax in front of goal) I agree but he is also combining well seeing lots of the ball and sitting in shape as phonsie seems to have a  free role not really playing left back really... anyways hope he gets his first goal for Canada

 

let break the record lads!!!!

That would be cool but I doubt it. We tend to oversell out “massive” announcements.

Keep it going. I don't feel bad at all. I've watched this team underdeliver for 20+ years. Get the goals. Build the confidence. Make statements. Give yourself wiggle room if you come up flat against Suriname (I do not expect this to happen).

I had to look: most goals by different players in a single match. According to this it could be eight, although the source is mostly England. I have no doubt some friendly had more, but regardless: let's go for it:

What was the announcement.  Just the TFC game?

[Bdog]

Whyyyyyy didn't I verify my bet 365 account? Would have been easy $$$

Anyways so far so good, I love the variety in goal scorers so far. Let's break double digits!

Let's send Crépeau up the pitch on set pieces!

Spoony with 1 goal and 3 assists in the half!

I find this entertaining, and think we should keep scoring. But I think we should respect our opponent. Playing hard and scoring is fine, but showboating with the keeper could be a bit nasty. And then someone from Cayman, who are not being aggressive so far, comes in a bit fed up and breaks an ankle of one of our guys. And maybe we could have saved him that.

Edit: I had to check: in the famous Australia 31-American Somoa 0, there were seven different scorers, with Thomspon netting 13.

How would the Cayman Premier League , where most of the lineup for them tonight played, compared to the CPL or even rank among Caribbean Leagues?

Does anyone feel dirty watching this ? Lol

I agree its embarassing to cheer too loud.

Millar, Corbeanu, Piette, and Ferreira (and Crepeau I guess).

Millar is not a good finisher but if he can continue to be a force in delivering balls and assists there's no need.

? 

I think that's a bit harsh. Millar has a wicked laser like shot, just needs the right opportunity. He is obviously being asked to be more of a provider, but I hope he pops one anyway.

Nothing, they just announced CCL on OneSoccer.

[dyslexic nam]

I’ll bet if people were asked to pick the 5 that would score, I would bet you would get it wrong.

Even MAK got it wrong, and that was even after he scored a goal!

[The Real Marc]

As long as we don’t get douchey we should score as many as possible 

[Ngravs]

There have been more completed stepovers in this game than in all other Canada games combined since the 1940's

[CanadaFan123]

Kaye has been poor tbh. 
 

Overall team passing this half is a step down. Hopefully we step it up. 

[dyslexic nam]

Another non-pk?
