And that was Vitoria who lost that header.  

No I’m taking about Miller heading a defensive clearance (with nobody around him) straight into a crowd which started the break 

[jonovision]

As good as a loss.

Now need to get a result against USA

[dyslexic nam]

15 seconds of actual play I the first two minutes of stoppage and not an extra second added.  

[JohnnyFranchise]

Davies needs to never take another corner again

[ag futbol]

About what we deserved IMO. Need to get tougher and smarter about lineup choices. 
 

Nobody splitting the lines and we never even attempted to bring in Kaye. Silly

[Dominic94]

It’s a failure tonight, poor coaching. We should have won this won.

[king1010]

Well. We need a draw against the states. 

[Stryker911]

Johnston was one of our best players. Him, Vitoria, and Kennedy is pretty good back 3.

I dont understand how we dobt have someone playing on the right.

[OhCanadaOhBaby]

After that first half, I’m happy with this. But this just means we are going to have to play our hearts out against USA/Mex

[The Real Marc]

Not good Herdman, not good

No its not.

No we don't.

Herdman got this one wrong. Players have fight tho. This team won’t back down.

It’s dropped points at home against what should be one of the “easier” opponents. It’s a poor result 

 

we don’t need the points against the USA though. Not at that stage yet.

[dyslexic nam]

Not the result we wanted but we were close to gifting Honduras 3 away points.   Disappointed but this is better than a loss.  A point is a point and we didn’t give Honduras a massive advantage over us.

Agreed, definitely need 3 against el salvador tho.

[AvroArrow]

I am confused how we stopped carrying the play after we scored.  Not sure what changed.

[gwsmith63]

Very disappointing overall. 
 

First half setup was all wrong and struggled to get a foothold in the midfield thus denying any service to the strikers. 
 

Second half was far better and balanced.  Deserved the goal and possibly more. 
 

Next two games now become even bigger.

14 corners, and the only 3 that produced anything were the ones junior took

[WestHamCanadianinOxford]

I guess the good news is, it's a draw that feel like a loss, not a loss. 

 

Need to be smarter, just because we have some good players, people are not going to roll over.

Points to poor coaching. You don’t get that many set pieces without producing an opportunity 

[canuckgbp]

It is a long campaign. This stings but will have lots of opportunities. Hopefully Herdman won’t be so naive next time.

Not sure if you’re aware, but draws are actually worth one point, as opposed to zero points.

[Yohan]

a draw is probably a fair result.

needs to be more clinical on those half chances in 2nd half

and I noticed without VAR, the Honduran shithousery seemed increased. it's going to be brutal dealing with those down in central america

[shorty]

Let’s just take a minute though and appreciate the fact that we are all disappointed at not taking all three points from Honduras. Yes, we should have. And that’s frickin amazing to say that compared to the last… well forever.

Overall, we were the better team from open play.

The failure here is primarily Simon Eaddy's and of course Herdman's for continuing to show so must trust in him.

14 corners for Canada.

3 corners for Honduras.

We HAD to score on at least one of them.

I've said it since at least January 2020 and I will keep saying it.  Fire Simon Eaddy.

With a competent set-pieces coach, this match would have been in the bag.
