COQ | Match Thread: Canada U24 vs Honduras U24 | March 25 @ 10:00pm Eastern 7:00pm Pacific

[Stryker911]

Looking at Honduras senior team they have no Olympic age players with the senior team. So theoretically this is the best group that they could get together. With how difficult it was for our team as well as with 8 guys with the senior team hopefully we can give them a good game. 

Also I assume I will be frustrated with the Hondurans and the ref all night. It's a good thing we aren't playing a central American team for WCQ. I can't handle that much diving in back to back games.

And why has Baldi not taken all our corners and FKs?  He's the best dead ball deliverer we have!

I noticed very late in the Haiti match that Raposo took over that crucial inswinging service, so I am not sure what the deal is there.

[Dominic94]

Alright my stab, what I want to see and what a competent coach would do:

                Pantemis 

Bassong-Montgomery-Cornelius-ZBG

             Metcalfe-Baldisimo

                        Dias

           Ballou-Bair-Buchanan

After last game and the rumblings, I don’t have much faith Biello.

Exactly the lineup I envision.  Which means it won't happen! 😄

I have a feeling that maybe Buchanan won't actually get the start and Biello has him in some sort of super-sub role.

Dias and Buchanan on in the 58th.

I think it's two yellows and you miss the next match? Even in two different games? I'm not sure if it resets after the group stage.

I can't find it here:

I get the feeling that Buchanan will be played up front as a lone striker.  This is what they did with Nelson in the U17s and it was a failure.

I thought it was done after 1 game.

 Olivieri calling the shots? I knew we were in trouble when I saw him in camp lol

I honestly don't know.

 

In WCQ, if you get two yellows in two different matches, you are suspended from the next match:

Same thing for CONCACAF Nations League (which is why I thought Cavallini was suspended). 

I'm not sure about Olympic Qualifying.

Nothing in the general "Laws of the Game" about that:

Tournaments and leagues always have some sort of accumulated yellow card rules. In leagues it's usually something like 5 for a suspension, whereas short tournaments tend to be stricter due to the tighter timelines.

Any word yet on the starting XI for Canada?

Line up 

 

Very defensive lineup I guess Bassong or Godinho are the 10? Interesting 

Edit: Nvm it's more likely one of Tabla or Buchanan are the 10 and Bassong/Godinho take their spot on the wing

Edited March 26, 2021 by sebdeserio

[Dominic94]

This is a joke, a must win game you start Bassong at CM over an actual 10 that you recruited. 
 

Biello and co have set us back 5 years, Dias is gone after this camp to never return. 

Edited March 26, 2021 by Dominic94

[BearcatSA]

I'm having trouble picturing how they are setting up.  Are they pushing Norman into midfield, with ZBG and Cornelius in central defence with Bassong and Godinho as fullbacks?

ZBG-Conelius-Norman-Godinho

Baldi-Metcalfe

bassong

ballou-Bair-Buchanan

[BearcatSA]

My biggest concern is that we qualify so a tie between ES and Haiti would make me feel better about this match.
