OT: Soccer thread

[trujaysfan]

Not super concerned. Bayerns medical staff, trainers, equipment are likely 10x better than Canada's setup. He would be in tactical meetings and this group has played a ton of games together.

 

[zeke]

Yeah take every single minute of rest possible.

 

[Neurospasm]

Don’t rest against Belgium they’re almost the Leafs of soccer. It would be Belgiumy to drop points against Canada.

 

[trujaysfan]

Don't sit back, Mexico beat Germany in the opening group stage game in 2018... anything can happen.

Wait who said rest against belgium

 

[WellPlayed]

I mentioned it. I don't know much about the team but am jumping on the bandwagon, and a talking head mentioned it on TSN.

 

[zeke]

Oh my bad wayward said that.

When I said rest I meant Davies should rest and recover every minute UNTIL Belgium game.

[zeke]

eustaquio is ok right?

 

[lecoqsportif]

I’m gonna hope/assume that his heavy load (domestic and CL) means he’s getting a break.

 

[trujaysfan]

Sounds like he will be fine for the Belgium game

 

[zeke]

lmao last second PK for canada (and deserved).

Cavallini decides to panenka and it BARELY dribbles over the line.

nice win, though a tie would have been deserved too.

 

[trujaysfan]

Richie does what he does... big games he draws late penalties.

I don't get why he doesn't start. It's not like the team gets better defensively without him, and he's just dynamic on either wing.

 

[lecoqsportif]

Very nice that we can be credible against a decent side like Japan. Very encouraging.

omg I hate Panenkas. lol

At least it worked.

5-2-3 I think he starts
4-4-2 he comes off the bench.

The wing back spots are a toss up between tajon/richie/hoilett/adekube

i think 3 of them should be on the pitch tbh.

 

[Volcanologist]

just kick the ball in the damn net. it's not worth fucking around on a PK, maximize your advantage vs. the keeper

lucky he didn't save that.
