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. 

I mean his professional record for goals says otherwise. At the pro level it seems he'll be a more assist generating winger. Which is a profile that's good for Canada.

[SpursFlu]

I blame ourselves and our terrible ranking. Hopefully after these next couple games we'll never be in a position to play games like this again

Ferreira is very good on the ball - will be interesting to see if he can have a career resurgence 

Agreed, strokes it hard with some long balls right to the spot, apart from that, hard to say.

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?

Lol a population of 60000 people probably no better than your local Sunday morning league in your local Canadian city .

Eustaquio is a blast to watch.

Eustaquio is a difference maker.  He's going to make a big difference in Octagon games.

Some random thoughts:

Ricardo Fereirra looks like he just came off the set of the Portuguese re-make of Das Boot. Or the Portuguese re-make of Dune. It's the same actor I am thinking of who was in both.

The Cayman Island's Coach looks like a fatter older version of Piette.

The 4th Official looked like the sister of American ref Chris Penso.

Ted Unkel's pointing to the PK spot looked less emphatic that I was hoping for.

If Suriname could only beat this team 3-0, they presumably will need a massive upgrade of their Dutch players to cause us trouble.

I changed my post immediately as I realilsed it did not come out very well. Damn quotes.

No one touched my comments about hearing the Spanish teens chatting behind the goal the whole time, but I had a feed that was no commentary, just mikes. If I had been asked about that it could have been an even worse comment from me.

Likely the fastest Canadian Hat Trick ever

Billy Mosienko, 23rd March 1952. 21 seconds.  Against the Rangers I believe.

I don’t think anyone is questioning him on the ball, it’s his speed and movement that is the unknown.

You could never play him and Vitoria together - but Ferreira / Henry or Ferreira / Miller might work

[One American]

I hate running up the score. I would hate to be eliminated because someone else ran up the score even more. I Concacaf does this again, it needs to add a mercy rule with a maximum goal differential from one game. 

[Gian-Luca]

Before I read the 28 pages of the thread, was there any injury report regarding Gutierrez? Otherwise, we kept him off the Olympic team (and St. Clair) to not play him here?

Please no more Henry.

I'm laughing at the mercy rule comments. 

This isn't fucking youth softball

Checking Cayman scores. Lost 3-0 to Suriname. Earlier in Nations League they beat French St. Martin 1-0 and lost to them 3-0, vs US Virgin Islands won 1-0 and then 2-0, beat Barbados 3-2 and lost to them 3-0. 

Worst loss in recent years was 4-0 vs. Jamaica in 2018. 

So we did well, and no doubt they did not have their best day.

If nothing else it’s nice to flex on Suriname. They just won 3-0? Also crazy that Barbados nearly drew Panama away and lost this team.

Next round is the 1 vs. 5. It could be a bloodbath of 9-0 scorelines. You have nations of 10 million plus playing islands of 50,000 people.

I dunno about sister, but Chris Penso also is a MLS ref

Basically all the other Pot 1 v Pot 4 matches played yesterday were close. 

So do we trot out a similar line up for Aruba than play our true A team 3 days later? We may only need a 1-0 win over Aruba to maintain our Goal difference advantage 

[reggietfc]

is it possible that the Suriname game could be played in Canada?

if the covid rules change?

Hate running up the score but basically a tie against Suriname and we're thru. So Sorry not sorry. At least our guys didn't roll around on the ground making fart sounds. They played hard and respectful and it was nice to see a guy like Phonzie still express genuine joy for scoring in such a situation

Bontis mentioned that last week - that he was hopeful the next window matches could be played in Canada with limited attendance. Personally, I believe that is highly unlikely given it’s only 8 weeks away (that’s not my opinion of whether it should or shouldn’t be played in Canada but my belief that the authorities wouldn’t let it happen). By September is more likely IMO.
