Watching us come onto the field I thought they should be playing theEscape to Victory theme.

Here’s a chance for Herdman (out of respect for his recent accomplishments not calling him the Siz) to show some managerial expertise.  Costa Rica will no doubt make some changes, let’s hope Herdman can redeploy our boys to counteract whatever they do and see this out!!

I'm not sure he has to change things much no matter what CR do, they are struggling to deal with us and our formation seems very fluid and flexible, this will be interesting because they have made 3 changes!

I know we're fragile after so many heartbreaking results, but I much prefer listening to homers who are overconfident in our team than Fox guys who barely know the players' names. 

Fuck yes.  Lean in on this uniquely Canadian commentary.  Love it.

Only thing better than Wheels and Dunfield would be if Wayne, Dary and Squirrely Dan were doing the commentary.

Damn Tajon - just hit it.

As an expat in the US without cable, I can't even watch this game in English. All I'm getting out of the commentators is that I think it's sponsored by Angry Orchard Cider?

My last name is Alvarado and hearing Dunfield for the first 30 call Esteban "Alvardo" drove me up a wall.

If this was Grade 8, your new name would be Alvardo

Bob and Doug walked so that Wayne, Dary and Squirrely Dan could run.

We currently look more like the disorganized 10-15 minute Canada.  We need to get back into the rhythm we had for most of the first half.  

[JohnnyFranchise]

I feel like it might be time to bring on piette for mak.

I bought a 6-pack at the LCBO. Got to support the "sponsons".

Two points:

1 - How are the FS1 commentators pronouncing Laryea?

2 - You are now Vince Alvardo.  Sorry.  That's how this works.

Well-timed allusion to a Vs forum classic. Chapeau to you! 

[ag futbol]

Kaye just goes through these stretches where one minute he looks like a world beater skating through people in midfield. And then, he suddenly has the first touch of a Clydesdale and turns into a giveaway machine

And with that you get a free towrad

If this is the Costa Rica A squad then they’re looking like an easy 4-6 points in the ocho.

I love the level of hustle out there when it looks like CR may get a quick attack.  It seems like the Haitian collapse of the last GC was probably mentioned at half time.  

[El Hombre]

Miller looking more comfortable on the ball.

[VinceA]

Costa Rica sent four guys to try and close down Kamal Miller lmao.

[Dominic94]

Score ?

I know Hoilett probably would benefit more from a sub but I would be tempted to put Akindele on for Cav.  Just doesn’t seem like he is being effective this game.  (I hope he makes me eat my words)

Then again, it may just make sense to let Cav run himself into the ground since he misses the SF anyway.

Keeping him on risks a second yellow

My guy, Adam Corolla, on PremierSports is saying it the old way

Getting into Piette time.

He isn't even on a yellow. We should bring him in.

[dyslexic nam]

Seems like the decision may be made.
