Don't tell the wife and kids that this is a top 10 moment in your life.

1.  The birth of the kids.

2.  Oso’s goal in Azteca.

3.  The day I met you honey.  

[maccaliam]

Anyone else both exhilarated and terrified?

[trc2014]

I still think atleast David needs to come out at half.  Will never happen

Well, this basically proves we can hang with any team in CONCACAF no problem. Tough decision now when it comes to how long the big guns stay on the field.

In CONCACA? Mexico is rated 9th. We can hang with the 9th best team in the world.

[beachesl]

YES

I really think that's important.  Yes, everyone is worried about the stars being gassed.  But if the stars can develop the self-belief that they can hang with the best, that will do wonders down the road.

I don't think the competitiveness of Davies or David or Buchanan or Laryea or Eustaquio or whoever will keep them off the field here.  They want to test themselves against the best.

This is just an incredible and gutsy performance. My hats off to Herdman for going for it and for showing belief in his team. Now if we can finish the job...

[Unnamed Trialist]

Well we wasted a lot of plays, and still had 3-4 solid chances.

We did everything we could expect. Not being pressed high is helping us.

While folks are criticizing Kaye, I like the way the kid is growing as a player. He's like an apprentice, but has a great mentality and is really improving--only I think in the middle it should be Eustaquio as priority on the build. Kaye, by the way, is our one player acclimatised to the altitude.

Very happy for Osorio, hell of  a finish, and perfect time to score--but look at the time they gave Davies in the front of the box.

Let's admit it, Mexico is playing poorly. But we have had more possession, more passes. Our fitness is outstanding.

Anyone wonder if Marcelo Flores is sitting there watching this match with the Mexican U20s right now and saying. “Hey guys, I need to take a piss.  Then sneaks out, runs outside and says TAXI!”

At this point I don’t know.  I am happy to admit that the plan i opposed all week is working - well.  And if David gets a single chance he may bury it.  

[apbsmith]

Mexico trying to make a blue print how you can beat and contain Canada.... 

We scored a goal and had more and better chances. 

Let's go boys dig deep and play the half of your lives.

1. That time I won the day on the Voyageurs board over @dyslexic nam.

2. Oso's goal at Azteca.

3. The birth of the second child (I was crazy hungover for the birth of the first).

It was you and me left!  I’m now on an island, do I need to join the Go For It camp?!

I chuckle just picturing him sitting there thinking of those things and then jotting them down to pull out at the appropriate moment.

At this point, it is what it is.  I still hope it doesn’t come back to bite us in the ass - but I can’t deny that I am enjoying the game.

Hard to argue this!
