CNL: Canada vs Honduras - Tuesday, March 28th, 8pm Eastern / 5pm Pacific - Toronto

[Bison44]

Remember the movie "Thinner"?  We may not have Voodoo curses or parades/hotel fire alarms at 3am, but we have the "white man from town curse"....endless paperwork, denied visas, healthcare forms, arrive can apps, booster shots, zoom meetings etc.  Our version of CONCACAFing those buggers.

This is where our depth might be tough to deal with here. We’re gonna want to sub David off as soon as (if) we have a 2 goal lead, and you probably want Larin subbed off pretty quickly thereafter. With Tajon too, that’s three forwards who risk being suspended for the next round, especially with the card happy ref we have. Brym is probably going to be one of those subs (haters seething mad right now), and there’s also a good chance we see some Akinola tonight as well. Would feel more comfortable with guys like Shaffelburg and Ugbo off the bench. Maybe Loturi gets a look, but I think Herdman is going to prioritize protecting the players on yellows and making conservative subs to just get through the game.

Anyone else still looking for a supporter section ticket?  I may have one - 3rd row.

Damn - that is a serious list of players to risk losing for the next round if we advance.   Not a fan of that…

I'm terribly sorry, sir, but you received more than 3 laughing emojis on your post, which means you will have to fill out form GY-FRM-MB-15-FNNY and return it to your nearest Service Manitoba office between the hours of 10am and 10:05 local standard time in St. John's, NFLD.  Apologies for the inconvenience, and well done on the joke.  It was truly very funny.

 

(Wow.  Never watched Thinner but just looked up the White Man from Town scene.  Very weird and not what I was expecting.  Not sure I could watch the whole movie, particularly with Michael Sofos who can never be anyone else but Costa from My Big Fat Greek Wedding, but I am curious.)

Unfortunately need to check out.  Good luck to the boys and all those in Toronto: let 'em know you are there.

So Kone starts over Hutch.  
 

Other things to note:

- Johnston is back (not a surprise)

- Tajon gets the start (encouraging)

Run it up.

Very interested to see who plays the middle of the back three (if that is indeed what we're going with).  Very mobile backline.

If Herdman learned one thing from the World Cup I hope that it was: "Don't fuck around when something's on the line."  Strongest lineup possible.

Really expecting Hutch to get a run out though later.

For sure - there is no way he doesn’t get on the field IMO.

Tj

That's how OS lines them up.

[Big_M]

if this is the goodbye match of hutchinson they should announce it before or during the game

So all you folks that said that it might be 50% Hondurans…it’ll be lucky if it’s 0.5% Hondurans

Legit question: Best lineup, front to back, ever?

This is the most iffy "back" we've had in a while, unless you're a huge Scott Kennedy guy. The rest of the lineup is tops.
