Match Thread: Voyageurs Cup - 1st Round - TSS Rovers v Valour - April 19, 2023

Pretty strong Valour squad, I think, although the 2 best players from the York match have been rotated out (Gutierrez and Niyongabire). Hopefully a chance for Rendon to gain some confidence as he'll be needed this year.

Dang, that Chandler is a giant.

[Shway]

Look at the cheapos in the parking lot watching the game. 

[jonovision]

Sloppy start, and I think with the long grass it will be a sloppy game. 

[Shway]

Keeper looks like he’s Concacafing with all that winking.

Valour really miss Gutierrez. Midfield is rudderless.

Rendon is a pylon out there. 

I wish they'd just cut him and Ponce (if they were allowed) and sign new players.

[Soccerpro2]

Williams has been pretty crap this game too.

[jonovision]

Ok, Chandler is tall, but he's atrocious.  Constantly wrong side of his man.

Valour is aweful!

[Soccerpro2]

How did Bacquero miss the ball? How does a professional defender swing and miss?

[jonovision]

Chandler again.

[Shway]

Curious how many players are Muslim that are playing to warrant that break.

De Brienne always being out of position at LB doesnt help.

I disagree but he's been bad too.

[Soccerpro2]

Take off Chandler, Rendon and Williams at half.

[Shway]

I will say the pitch is beautiful. 
The ball just plays different

[Soccerpro2]

We have 3 players who pass backwards/sideways at CM. Novak is on an island up front.

Put on a CM that will pass the ball forward and put another striker on.

This is embarrassing.

Ulloa has to go

Was he on the field? I didnt even know he was on the field.

I dont think I heard his name or Rendon's names once the entire half.

If we had this pitch for a match in Honduras we'd be apoplectic. Never a true roll.

2 goals. Ramadan break, and the goalie taking a break at the beginning.

3 minutes added on was questionable.

Should have been easily 7 or 8, but what's the point.
