SpursFlu Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Bad pitch, flying in last night, tight turnarounds, heat etc etc. Lots of legitimate reasons I totally think we'll win on Tuesday and move forward but im not going to pretend that people played great. We grinded it out and got the result. It's all good cronaldo7 and Club Linesman 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WTF? Just now, Fullback said: Yeah I needed a trigger warning for this segment. That game will haunt me forever. I was 16 and skipped school to watch it. Didn’t even get punished when I told my parents what happened, the game was punishment enough On the one hand: really nice to hear from Hart and Hume about that day. Impressed with Hart. I had already walked out of Grace O'Malley's before that post-game interview with Madani. Didn't know he took full responsibility. On the other: what the fuck? I don't need to see that again. king1010, lamptern, gator and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BearcatSA Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I thought Eustaquio had a really strong match for the full 90. Really impressed me today. king1010, Ivan, cronaldo7 and 9 others 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fullback Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 6 minutes ago, dyslexic nam said: A few quick things before I shut it down for a while. - Despite limited minutes today, Tajon is really looking like a guy who has moved from prospect to the real deal. To be honest, I didn’t think he would make the jump this quickly but I think he will be pushing his way into our match day squad more and more. Getting starts will always be hard with our attacking lineup but he has years and years ahead of him and his ceiling is looking higher all the time. - Kennedy is really making me feel better about our CB situation. He is really composed on the ball and is looking like a solid starter for us. Like Tajon, he has a long time ahead of him. - Not the best game from our double D’s but Davies was likely getting frustrated from the treatment he was getting all night. I am willing to cut them some slack. - Eustaquio is a huge addition. He is a top class baller Big get for our program. - After getting an away win in Haiti and when we just need to get one more result, why in the name of god is One Soccer choosing to show a piece on the ducking 8-1 debacle right now. Timing folks... Totally agree on Tajon. I feel like he has such a swagger and confidence that we don’t often see out of our players. Has me super excited for his future.

The Beaver 2.0 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Yeah, the heat, humidity and turf made this a tougher win that it might've looked like. Professional result; great learning opportunity. I hope we get a better ref on Tuesday. Expecting an even better performance Tuesday, with our lads tough to break down and punishing them on the counter. cronaldo7 and BearcatSA 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ways to go but I'd invest. And since I was critical of Eustaquio's early play against Suriname, credit due today. Very good performance. One of a couple of players I'd suggest for Canada's MoTM.

LeoH037 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 would have liked a wider margin of error, but this is CONCACAF, and the pitch made it very difficult for the team to play the free flowing football they want to play, so a win is excellent here. Most important is that they were able to manage a 1-0 win here in a very chippy/chaotic game that was benefitting Haiti. I expect Canada is able to play better in the away game on a proper pitch. cronaldo7 and kclee 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eustaquio was excellent, as he was in the second half vs. Suriname. He's stronger as a #6, clearly. Controls the midfield, links well with Kaye and forwards. We are finding the future of our midfield with these young guys, which is good news considering Hutch and Arfield are getting a little long in the teeth.

PiedPilko Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 On one hand, Haiti definitely didn't deserve a draw. We had the 3 best chances of the game. On the other hand though, I don't think the conditions will be much better in Honduras or El Salvador, and we're not gonna get away with being as sloppy as we were.

Kadenge Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Not even Mexico or the US would have been able to play the ball on that field. Skill and precision passing was negated by the sticky pitch. It suited a hoof and run game and with big forwards who looked like NFL linebackers.... well suited for Haiti. Professional win for Canada. Congrats to Herdman and the boys. Looking forward to Chicago and a pro field. The Beaver 2.0, kclee, Addona and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember a field being as slow as today though. Would rather a hard fast surface..even a bit bumpy. Don't FIFA have reps for each game to monitor conditions etc? This was not a good stage for 2 of the brightest stars in Concacaf. Our confederation is a joke lamptern and TOcanadafan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted June 13, 2021 Share Posted June 13, 2021 Not our flashiest performance on the night but I think Vitoria deserves credit (along with the rest of the back line of course). Very quiet but no big mistakes to my memory. That’s a good game for a CB. cronaldo7, toontownman, The Beaver 2.0 and 4 others 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that I’ll say is a more talented team like a Honduras or a say Panama if they make it at their home field with fans in the stands and a shitty field will have the talent to score goals against us at their home field . So if Canada makes it to the Oct , they will need to play better , a performance like today even though it worked in Haiti won’t work in Honduras, or say Panama if they make it.

The only way to play better on a poor surface is to play hoof ball. So perhaps JH has to incorporate that into his tactics...which kinda sucks Addona 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
