Huge game today. This is how I would line them up tonight.

 

 

-----------------------Jonathan David-------------------------------

 

 

Alphonso Davies ----J Orsario -------------Tajon Buchanan

 

----------- S. Eustáquio ------ Mark Anthony Kaye

 

 

R. Layera ---- D. Cornelius --S. Victoria ------A. Johnston

 

 

---------------------M. Crepeau-----------------------------

 

- Kamar Miller probably plays for Corenelius and I could see Hoilett playing for Orsario if he's healthy.

 

Lineups are out. Pretty much nailed it. Kamar Miller and David Wotherspoon IN and Corenelius and Kaye OUT

[Spanky99]

Alphonso!!!

[Spanky99]

Buchanan!!! Woooooo!!!

[Spanky99]

David!!! lol... it's over.

[saskjayfan]

David!!! lol... it's over.

 

That Canada Panama game was a Canadian Heritage commercial waiting to happen. I've never seen so many Canadian flags in one place. The crowd was absolutely electric. What a game.

I was there in the supporters section. it was insane!

Fun fact: Alphonso was recorded at reaching a speed of 37.1KM per hour on his run to get the ball for his goal which is about the average top speed of an Olympic sprinter.

He can run as fast as McDavid can skate, that just blows my mind.

[jays4life19]

Wtf is wrong with Bayern.

 

So after Phonzie went from Germany--> Mexico--> Jamaica--> Canada---> Germany in a week while playing all but 8 mins for Canada, Bayern throws him into the starting lineup, and of course, he gets hurt. Idiots.

[jays4life19]

I think it's time to give my boy Jonathan David some love on here. Fun facts..

 

1. Jonathan David has more goals than Mbappe, Neymar and Messi combined this year in league.1

2. Jonathan David leads a top 5 league in the world in scoring

3. Out of all the elite players in all the top 5 leagues David sits 6th in scoring only after Lewandowski, Salah, Benzema, Haaland, Immobile and Shtick and out of that list, only Haaland is young like David.

4. ESPN+ podcast just said you can't even make a case for another striker in CONCAFF who's better than David and CONCAFF has the likes of Rual Jiminez and Michail Antonio.

 

Not only is Canada going to make the world cup we going to do some damage once there. Time to get on the bandwagon.

Canada vs Mexico. Does it get any bigger? Let's go Canada!!!!!!!!!!! Let's get behind the boys!

Scott Kennedy out with injury was also clocked at 34.4KM per hour this year in the bundesliga 2. That's not Alphonso Davies fast, but for a 6'3 centreback that's also crazy speed.

What's your preferred lineup for tonight?

[jays4life19]

I would go with this..

 

-----------------------Larin ---------David--------------------------------------------

 

----------------------------Osorio-----------------------------------------

 

Davies --------- Kaye ----------------Estaqiuo -----------------Buchananon

 

 

 

------- Miller ----------------Victoria ---------------Johnston

 

 

-------------------------Borjan--------------------------

[Spanky99]

Have you guys seen the field in Edmonton! lol... it's a frozen tundra.

Yeah will probably be a terrible game to watch but whatever lol

-10 and snowing, I feel bad for those poor bastards, it'll be like playing on concrete.

-------------------------Borjan--------------------------

 

If they are going with a back 3...you probably nailed it. I think they might go with a back 4. Whether it's a back 3 or 4 I'd have Osorio back in the lineup. I'm tempted to put a more physical Henry in for Vitoria, especially with Vitoria on a yellow. Henry is a scary dude. He can make some boneheaded plays, but when he gets it right he can be very good. He was really good against Mexico in the gold cup. I'm guessing they go with Vitoria though.

With the tarp on, the snow actually helps as an insulator to keep the field from freezing. They are removing the snow now and taking the tarp off. The snow should has stopped and the wind is going to go down a bit, but the weather network still has it at 22kms at kickoff. -8 at kickoff feeling like -16 with the wind chill.....ooh...baby those Mexicans aren't going to like it!

Haha... no one's going to like it but I gotcha!

[jays4life19]

Yeah I really don't think it's going to give us an "advantage"...it's not like the Canadian guys are used to playing in this and these terrible conditions take away our biggest strength over Mexico which is our elite speed and attacking.

 

Hopefully we just win and it won't be an issue but I would deffo rather be playing in Vancouver or Toronto right now.

[jays4life19]

[jays4life19]

Alright, Spanky...make sure you get out your best-frosted mug and fill that baby up with the finest apple juice you have because it's time to bend over Mexico.
