What’s the consensus you guys think Tajon starts?

I really hope so. I'd love to see Davies attacking down one side and Buchanan down the other. What a nightmare for defenders.

I'm also very excited about (at some point in the Octagonal, if not tonight) a midfield featuring Davies, Eustaquio, Hutchinson, and Buchanan. Good luck to most opposing teams trying to sustain possession for any length of time (or just get the ball back) from a group that can either close down space, control, or distribute so well.

I guess drone pilot like to fly over sport field to film. I play co-ed soccer and we often hear/see drone flying over our field.

Can’t remember who brought it up, but within 9 minutes they discussed 8-1.  I suspect I will be hearing about it a couple more times this evening.  

The only time I want to hear about 8-1 is in reference to how the HUGE VICTORY we get tonight has evened the score.

Yes, this time it certainly feels different, and yes, I am trying to be optimistic, but 37 years of supporting the men’s national team has prepared me for the inevitable heartbreak. I can see Canada coming out of the first three games with anywhere from two to four points and being virtually eliminated in a week’s time. Prove me wrong, boys!

I also have to confess that if Canada doesn’t qualify for Qatar, the blame resides solely on me. I don’t have a religious bone in my body, but at the start of the women’s shootout against Sweden, I said a silent prayer to God/Buddha/Allah/Superman that if the women won the shootout, it was OK if the men didn’t qualify for Qatar. I don’t think we can ask the Higher Powers to help us out twice in such a short time. Or can we?! 

Godspeed to all. Let’s all enjoy this journey together.

 

Have no fear: god does not exist. And, anyways, we've got the Holy Trinity on our side: Davies, David and Buchanan.

I'm having a hard time putting together a lineup. Im also having a hard time remembering who plays left, who plays right, who plays both. Does Herdman always play 3 cbs across the back?

[Dmrich]

No lineup yet?

There's a disheartening amount of Honduran fans here 

[dyslexic nam]

I love Davies but I am tired of hearing him freak out about Drake.  I suspect he cringes a bit if/when he sees it as well.

What proportion?

Edit: ... Meant to quote the disheartening number of Honduran fans at BMO: "What proportion??

When you hear that,  it reminds you that he is only 20.  Usually he seems so mature.

I guess I didn’t get the memo that the border with Honduras had been opened, as there are way more Honduran fans down here outside the stadium than I was expecting.

More than a hundred at least. Not the majority of the crowd but them all being here so early (stadium isn’t open yet) suggests they are not from Canada. I guess from the US?

[king1010]

Hondurans in line yes. 

[frmr]

Holy shit that's an attacking lineup. Herdman giving no quarter.

Okay now I'm excited.

[Gian-Luca]

The pre-stadium opening crowd is about 25 times larger than normal vs a TFC game
