Somebody explain these shrubs in the Mexican stadiums.

I am more curious about the 4 people crouching behind them like a gaggle of peeping toms.

This sure doesn't look like a CONCACAF ref performance.

That's a straight red card anywhere else in the region, right?

It’s just too bad we have to try and qualify with a team that isn’t nearly as strong as the one we might field in the actual Olympics.  Davies? David? Corbeanu? Fraser? Nelson?  That is a team that anyone should be nervous about facing.  

Davies and David were never going to be available.  We have always known that.   Other teams are also missing players.

match fitness becomes a serious issue in 3, 2, 1....

Has Bair literally done anything in this tournament?

[An Observer]

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. 

[Dominic94]

Our coaching is just so poor, I know we’re depleted, but we have a difference make on the bench, like come on. 
 

also why not Dias for the 10th time

[Macksam]

Hard stuck in game so far. Even though Honduras look slightly more threatening going forward, it's not by much.

Come on boys, if you win this game, I will smash this bottle of Basil Hayden's and call in sick tomorrow.

Hondutas could easily have three goals now. 

And yet, here we are.  One-one.

[Dominic94]

Ok Raposo is a spark plug and he will bring energy but we seriously need more skill out there right now.

Its always easy to look at one person.   But other than 2-3 players,   nobody has really stood out for me.

They are constanly foulding TB.  So they have to believe he is the only guy who can cause them problems.

I know that - but it is conceivable that they would play in the Olympic Games.  I am just lamenting the fact that we are fielding such a weakened team.  If we fail to qualify, it will be in part because of the absences.  

[Aird25]

To be fair to these kids, this Honduras side is probably better than the Bermuda one the mens team just played  

[Dominic94]

Why Ballou, like he’s actually done something, fuck his yellow we have to get there first.

[JuicyHam]

Bair might be the largest player to not know how to use his size

They’re also in shape

[dyslexic nam]

I wouldn’t have taken Tabla off.  I thought he has been dangerous going forward.

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

Some do when they actually make the games!

If you look at best U24 vs. best U24 regardless of situation, we are at least 3rd in the region.  Davies, David, Millar, Johnston, St. Clair, Miller....

[Stryker911]

Honduras did not call up one Olympic age eligible player for their senior team. So I assume that means they called up their A team.

Who is Honduras missing?

[Cheeta]

That's a card.

[Dominic94]

Reality is that our b- team is doing alright with poor coaching.

 

when they hold this tournament in 2 years we’re going to be a lot deeper and better and we will probably have near 50% of advancing.
