Gotta say when I saw Cavellini let that ball settle to shape for the half volley I thought "he's got this, this guy knows how to score goals." Nobody else on the pitch you want that dropping to.
Feels great to see Canada finally win a big match. Perfect response after the Gold Cup collapse.
Shame it was not on any major network and will likely be relegated to the back pages outside of the die hard soccer community...
I remember when I was a kid, the USA was a doormat to be walked all over. Then they get the ‘94 Cup and everything changed.
You see the improvements our squad has made on paper- not only players, but their improvements themselves within their clubs- and you believe there is a chance they can take down the US, but when it actually happens? And in a style of play that is NOT parking the bus, then hump and hope? That’s even better. Not we can dream of “What if”s? What if they can beat them at home?
What if we can actually start taking down these Central American teams at home once we make the Hex?
All of a sudden we can taste a legitimate WC berth!
It's one game, everyone needs to relax, it's Canada we're talking about here. They're prolly gunna go lose to Haiti or something now. Consistency is the key.
