honest question, do any countries actually field their A team in this tourney?

Do you mean qualifying or the big show itself?

Either way, I don’t think Canada should be constrained by convention when it comes to maximizing the growth of the game.   A shitload of people watch the Olympic Games so a good performance by us would be huge.

I would say that the guys stock who have gone the most in this tournament are baldisimo and Bair. They have been poor in my mind in most matches. 

For me it's Brault-Guillard.  I had high expectations for him, but he's been invisible for 3 straight games.  The other two you mention have at least put in shifts.

That's a card.

Yes. You mean the shirt pull to haul the guy down.?

[Cheeta]

LOL. That also is a card.

I'd known, collected enough of them.

I think the US is missing a bunch.  I think Mexico's team is close to an A team.  As are most others.  I think us and the US are missing the most.  Could be wrong though.

Dias coming not a moment too soon.

[BrennanFan]

Dias. Sub in Dias.

[Dominic94]

Miracle in Mexico is what we need now

[Weng]

Dear lord!

[trc2014]

Is Montgomery even on the bench?

[Dominic94]

You know they’re gonna press us really hard now

As noted in the last game thread - we don’t always have to pass it out of the back.  We have almost gifted them 2 goals tonight by trying to overplay.  

[Addona]

Why are we still playing out of the back?!?

[gator]

Some of our attempts at playing it out of the back have been so poor, with so little prep I think it is a bad strategy!

[Macksam]

Why the f*ck do we take these unnecessary risks. Not to single out Pantemis but...brah?

Good teams play it out of the back.   Bad team team hoof it out at the slightest sence of panic.  
 

on second thought,  Maybe we should be hoofing it out.

I think I saw Bair touch the ball once the whole game, I'm not sure why he's rated. Isn't a playmaker and doesn't seem to read the game well / find the right spaces.

[VinceA]

Just a reminder El Salvador managed to put two in against Haiti while we couldn't get one.

[Chad_Impact]

Wtf was Brym doing there lmaoooo

[Dominic94]

Wow

[Pottsy3]

woah Dias, showing something a little more creative already
