OT: Soccer thread

[zeke]

i thought promise looked very good when he came on. whereas Larin was useless. I think Larin's time is done.

 

[lecoqsportif]

True. Promise looked dangerous. He almost scored too.

 

[zeke]

Colombia game on now. In Colombia.

They're currently ranked 9th in the world by ELO.


Canada has a fairly full squad aside from the injuries to Davies, Bombito, and Johnston. Colombia not putting their full A lineup out there but it's not far off either.

big challenge.

 

[zeke]

lol already nasty as hell out there.

but a nice competitive start so far.

 

[zeke]

oooooo....buchanan almost with a screamer opener. saved.

 

[zeke]

very nice, hard 1st half. pretty even steven. tiny edge to colombia in possession and tiny edge to canada in chances.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Noooooo offsides

 

[zeke]

oh man great goal called back for a questionable fucking offside

 

[CTheBigPicture]

That's a good goal. Come on.

 

[zeke]

oh fuck me he was totally onside but there;s no VAR for this friendly. fucking hell.

 

[zeke]

actually maybe they got it right. ah well.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

Ok maybe offside.

But one of those offsides I don't like in soccer.

 

[zeke]

maritime messi almost costs us the game. yikes.

 

[zeke]

Laryea is the most underrated player in the world. He's so good.

 

[CTheBigPicture]

94th minute, Columbia running like it's the tenth minute; while Canada was on their last leg.

Still Canada's stamina has really improved. Good showing.

 

[zeke]

Shaky ending with both teams subs on but that's a great result. Especially given how young the team we fielded is.

I like that we’ve teed up Latin American friendlies.

Coz they ain’t friendly. They play really hard, and they are so skilled. Good to get this experience.

 

[trujaysfan]

Next game is in Toronto vs Ecuador

Those who enjoy, its time to come out and support in person.
