Just curious did he not play for the McMaster university team, I remember him being a very good player, I think he was a striker from my days in coaching youth and men’s soccer and remembering him as a player.
Pretty sure he was a striker at Western.

Ikone just dances with the ball until he loses it. Pretty frustrating.

Broken ankle would be better than serious ligament damage.

I think if you look at the strengths of the team and the platforms herdman wants to play. You’d have
Cavallini. Davies
Arefield
Kaye Hutch
davies. Lareya
Miller. Henry. James
Borjan.
No Eustaquio?

Revenge match against Haiti to move to the knockout stages. If we cant finish ahead of them we dont deserve to move on.

Those games in Toromto and Orlando were our best opportunity to surpass them. Unfortunately now their talent in the pipeline looks better than ours. However talent doesnt always equal results.
World Cup is expanding to 48 teams and theres no reason why we cant be the third best team in Concacaf.

Canada would get destroyed by Mexico hell even if they face USA they will lose anyway so
Mexico Yes, USA wouldnt be a guaranteed loss. We could beat them if we’re on our game, but they would be the favorites.

Well not sure this format is any better for us, especially if we’re drawn against Mexico.
Obviously best case scenario is avoid mexico.

The last 4 paragraphs mention that CONCACAF is thinking of a new format. The format mentioned talks about 3 groups of 4 based on FIFA rankings with team winning their group going to Qatar and the second teams playing the repechage with the best of the rest.
All three second place teams or just the best 2nd place team?

Davies and Bayern beat Hertha 4-0. He plays his customary 90 minutes and earned a goal rating of 8.5, good for 4th best on the team. Highest was Perisic at 9.8 and lowest was Lewandowski at 4.4
Davies was subbed off in the 80th minute. Looked like he picked up a slight injury.

You mean finish ahead of Hondurass AND Jamaica AND Costa Rica 1 out of 5 times. Because that is what we would need to do to finish 3rd.
And, based on fairly recent results, they are ALL BETTER than us. Even if we were all EQUAL, we'd only finish ahead of all three of them 1 out of every 4 times!
So, emphatically, no!
We’ll have to agree to disagree. Id take the odds of us finishing ahead of those teams just one out of 5 times.
give us 5 shots at the hex, and i see us finishing third at least one of those 5 times.

20% chance we finish top 3 in the hexagonal?! That implies that if they played it 5 times, we would finish top 3 in one iteration! I haven't seen that kind of optimism since Scotland's last qualification attempt!
I'd say if we played it 20 times Canada would finish top 3 once and even that is generous. That would make the odds 5%.
Regardless, it is pretty clear that any advantage the hexagonal path may have is predicated on the odds of Canada qualifying automatically by finishing top 3. And you need to be wearing quite a few pairs of Canada coloured glasses to see that actually happening, particularly given Canada's sterling record playing away in Central America.
Otherwise, it comes down to this:
2nd place in a 4 team group also containing Costa Rica, Hondurass, and Jamaica; where Canada are the lowest ranked team.
vs.
1st place in a much larger group where most teams have zero chance and Canada are the highest ranked team.
Then, in either case, there are 2 play-off ties to win.
You dont think wed finish ahead of honduras jamaica or costa rica one out of every 5 times?
id place money on that.

I am starting to pray for a draw with Oceania or Asia now......
When the heck is the intercontinental draw? They havent even announced a date. Would be nice if we knew who we would play before March friendlies. If its Oceania then missing the hex aint all that bad, if its South America everybody panic.

I am sure at that point they would do the same as the CPL final and offer it to mainstream channels.
onesoccer will be a regular tv channel on the dial by the next gold cup. They wont be offering up the rights to another tv channel

Will miss him on the pitch. Seemed like a class act. Wish we could've seen him line up vs TFC and potentially the Concacaf Champions League.
