I can guarantee that Mexico hasn't prepared for that lineup.

Covid restrictions?

God they can sing.

What would Mr Parrot say about that crowd??  Are they hipsters that show up late or something??

🤷‍♂️….call me John Herdman

4-3-3 vs Mexico at Azteca would be insane, cocky and arrogant.  I'm hyped, but that's just silly in my view, gotta be more conservative at the back and relax with a 3 mid and 3 fwds.

So the card-happy ref got COVID.

Clean game kids. No boots to the face or choking the opponent. 

[El Hombre]

Ivan Barton also tested positive for being a douche.

For people overseas... hesgoal.com has a good stream with what appears to be just stadium noise, no announcers.

edit: spanish announcers just started

Why bother then?

[dyslexic nam]

Let’s go!!

Really wish one of the teams was wearing white.

No cute passes

1) 75% capacity

2) Cheap seat further up sell better. Not unusual for them to overprice the lower bowl. @Unnamed Trialist spoke of this.

3) Always difficult to sell an 80 000 capacity stadium in the middle of a pandemic.

Hoping Kaye is just controlling the clock.  

[canuckgbp]

That counter is deadly. Enjoy Mexico. 

[rydermike]

What a chance

[Watchmen]

Laryea putting that out there was bad, but Dunfield saying "he HAD to put it out" was also ridiculous considering it was clearly a lack of communication.

[El Hombre]

Well worked!

[Acid-Tone]

Watching the Mexican tv telecast and they’re impressed.  They‘ve “never seen Canada press so high up the field in the Azteca before!”

 

It’s so beautiful.   

[Dominic94]

Oh man big stop, we gotta bury that, Buchanan needs to calm down for a moment.

[dyslexic nam]

Damn.   Tajon had a chance to become a legend.  

But good signs.  I knew we were smart to go for it tonight…
