Great stuff. But i'm not sure for this cycle we can say Canada is stunning or surprising anyone.

I could see the “ air come out of the ball” for the USMNT when that equalizer rocketed into the upper right corner. To some extent, I wonder why our side seemed less energetic and fit than Jamaica. Steffen said “ it came down to physicality.” That being the case, the USMNT may be in trouble. Most teams seem bigger and stronger ….largely due to seasoned 28 year olds playing against 18-22 year olds. If we make it to the WC…..and that remains a huge “if”….. despite some brilliance and improvement, we shall have shown toughness and grit. Finesse isn’t going to be enough. My biggest disappointment was not seeing Scally on the pitch. I know Yedlin has played well, but isn’t Scally regarded as a clearly superior defender? Have you asked Gregg why he brought Scalky from Germany only to watch? Was he ill or something? Thanks for your great work. I am delighted to be a subscriber.
