I see Liam, Jo and Phonzie all posting on their insta stories that their watching the game. I know it’s premature but they have a bit riding on this tournament..

What does our optimal starting 11 look like at the Olympics? (SORRY IM EXCITED)

Dias sighting

Hello Lucas Dias

[El Hombre]

Is that Dias?

We are learning to CONCACAF.  The keeper’s yellow.  A little hammy stretch to slow things down.   Love it. 

lol. Baldisimo told to stay down to bring out the stretcher and kill a few more seconds

[dyslexic nam]

Dias on.  Nice

Metcalfe has been quietly solid

[trc2014]

I literally laughed out loud at that

[dyslexic nam]

@Shway - Godinho just killed the whole touchline display!!!

Is the yellow rule through the whole group stage?

My favourite moment of the second half:

 

[Dominic94]

Can they let Dias take it

[dyslexic nam]

Love that ES is killing the clock for us.  

[Dominic94]

Farsi time 

[Dominic94]

Dias doing what a 10 does but Canadian style, I like him. 

[dyslexic nam]

Buchanan all the way back to our own touchline to defend.  Attaboy.  

[MM3/MM2/MM]

3 minutes added, expected 5 to 6.

So, Pantemis > Breza due to 270 "better" minutes in MLS?

So we don't count Breza's 2190 "better" minutes in Serie C vs USL/CPL?

Sorry dude, I don't see it.  Even counting Pantemis' less than convincing MLS minutes when Diop was out of the country.  The rest of the resumes lean sharply towards Breza's camp.  I just don't see how one compares USL/CPL to Serie C.  I look forward to that day, but it's not the case now. 

This coming from a hopeful fan of Pantemis, looking forward to the day he wins the CFM starting role.

Pantemis. Verdict.  Good shot stopper. Not the best at quick distribution under pressure.

[El Hombre]

Is ES wasting time so that they don't go down further?

[dyslexic nam]

Job done.  Well done boys. 

[ghostknownunknown]

I’ll take it 😀

[Dominic94]

It’s been years in the making but this is a great start to a new era of Canadian football.

 

0 complaints from me; well done to the lad. 
 

only adjustment, instead of going wide there at the end, give the ball to Dias and let him attack the middle, not sure if it’s trust or what, but let him have it.

I think he’s actually looked pretty calm and didn’t seem panicked with the ball at his feet. Yes a couple moments but wasn’t overly concerning.
