devioustrevor Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 This ref is fucking garbage, keep the fucking calls consistent. Either let them play, or call fucking fouls. The stop-and-go whistling is frustrating. Bdog 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corazon Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 1) The field is an absolute joke. Turf at this level is embarrassing. 2) Not too many times can you say both Davies & David were two of the worse players on the pitch for Canada. I expect more from both in the 2nd half. 3) Let's focus on getting another goal or two and take a decent aggregate lead back to a real pitch.

Cheeta Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Observation. Is there a reason they have to show the 4th official displaying the suggested stoppage time? Do they think the viewers in TV Land won't believe the announcement otherwise? I don't get it. OK, if it's part of the collective agreement with the officials union, great, whatever. Otherwise, don't bother. As you were. El Hombre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer forward passes on the deck haven't been that good. You should absolutely be watering this pitch, at the start and at the half. In warm weather on a pitch with u-11s playing they will always do it in Spain, I mean: they do it for kids because it is standard practice, on every field I have ever seen. Now Haiti has the prerogative to handle the field as they wish, but still, it's a WCQualifier, they have to ensure a minimum treatment of it. Canada should have insisted it be watered, I think we do have that right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ag futbol Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We need to play more through the middle and between the lines. You aren’t going to beat anyone for pace in the channels, especially if we keep finding our wingers flat footed and expect them to do it all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devioustrevor Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We gotta change up our passing. Our passing is relying on the expectation of a good pitch, but can't count on the bounce of this field. Maybe we need to through on some more quickness in the likes of Corbeanu and Buchanan and play a little more direct. Club Linesman 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfitz Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Would we have been better to go back to our line-up from the Aruba game, and save this line-up for the final game - giving everyone more rest? Though the away goal is nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ag futbol Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I would bring on Cav for David and let Larin play in his preferred role as a FW. The Beaver 2.0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should definitely be watered but I think in these conditions the effects won't last long so both teams will be dealing with a tough surface for large part of the seond half.

Otherwise, don't bother. As you were. Biggest pet peeve of mine. So stupid. Anyone who has watched soccer knows that there's usually some extra time and can listen to the commentator or look at the scoreline and look for the +# to see how much time is left. It's not like when the time clock goes past 45' I start freaking out about how time has no meaning... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The challenge on Davies was definitely a "garbage challenge" as he called it AND Johnston's cleats up scissoring of a Haiti player was totally a "no-nonsense challenge". He's perfect in every way. 😎 Unnamed Trialist 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apbsmith Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 So glad we got that away goal. Would love another away goal in the 2nd half. As much I enjoy quality footy, it's all results oriented for this match. Those that watched the Nicaragua vs Haiti match will know, the field is in 100 times better shape tonight. It went from a flood zone to a sand beach it seems. Is what it is. Let's keep rolling and put together a quality 45 here.

Bdog Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 - Ref sucks - The heat and bad pitch are slowing us down for sure - This result holding wouldn’t be the worse thing but we should still be able to grab another goal or two with the quality we have - Larin and David are a bit too isolated up top, we’re having trouble getting the ball to them.

BearcatSA Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Davies needs to tikka takka more passes or he might risk injury on this grippy surface and hacking. Just keep it rolling. JohnnyFranchise 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DavemTFC Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 We're leading away in CONCACAF and had the two stand out chances of the half. Solid enough I am a bit worried that for all our possession we've hardly been near the Haiti goal. Haiti have gotten closer to ours more than we have theirs despite not creating any real chances yet. Unlike Suriname, they always seem like a threat. We were leading in the Gold Cup. This time let's keep that lead Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
