OT: Soccer thread

[trujaysfan]

Am I allowed to say that I'm #JustHappyToBeHere regarding mens soccer?

I mean, it's Canada after all.

You can be happy to be in this situation but with the new generation coming through i dont think anyone is just happy to be here... gold cup semis should be an expectation, just like the octagonal

 

[zeke]

Yup. In 2000 we were just happy to be here and fluke a gold cup win.

But this is way different. this team is looking pretty damn close to world class right now.

 

[TimHorton]

We can beat this particular version of Mexico and I think the team believes that too.

Will be interesting if they start Akindele tonight or play Tajon or Hoilett higher up the pitch. Unless we get a surprise Larin sighting.

 

[TimHorton]

My guess Tajon moves up but I guess we shall see.

 

[zeke]

Full names please guys I'm still trying to learn this team.

Tajon = the right winger?....Buchanan?

Yes

Akindele = Tesho Akindele (orlando city player and the Ayo Akinola replacement)
Hoilett = David *Junior* Hoilett

 

[zeke]

Yeah the last names I'm pretty good with but when you start using first names I get lost.

Sold out tonight.... 72,000 people in houston for the game. Maybe 25 supporting Canada.

No matter what this is good prep for the trips down to Azteca, san pedro sula etc.
