at first glance its a positive ... its a result but they had such chances especially at the end though ... larin lashed one into the side netting ... coulda should woulda but 6 points were there for them

it means they probably have to get a result from 1 of the 2 mexico games or (like old times) at Honduras

dont put me down as a total negative nelly though ... Ive got them beating salvador at home ... and Im praying that Honduras/El Salvador draw both games against each other

I saw the highlights last night, was it Larin who also put a header off the bar? Also, do we know where the return match between Canada and El Salvador will be played?

yep that was larin
sounds like vancouver again ... BMO not available and players and coaches said they want to be back to bc place ... only player who said he didnt like the turf was Atiba .. and after playing on the cow pasture last night he might have a different opinion on turf

Id still prefer they play at Fort Mac in March

Tournament will be held June 3-26, which means, along with Euro, there is going to be a literal fuck ton of soccer on next June.

I still don't get the purpose of this tournament (why not just hold 2015's tournament in 2016 as a centenary?) but I'm wondering if some bigger stars decide to take a breather? This will be the third summer tournament in a row for South American teams. That's a lot of football.

Ditto for Roma. That one could be 5-0 by now.

Luckily for them, Leverkusen got BATED and all Roma needs to do is master BATE at home on the final matchday.

Nice dive by Dynamo on the edge of the box and it's 1-0 from the ensuing penalty.

The upcoming game between Porto and Chelsea should be a dandy...

The upcoming game between Porto and Chelsea should be a dandy...

Porto has never won on English soil, and has only drawn twice (both times vs. United, including one where a certain special coach ran down the sideline after the equalizer).

Chelsea's going to win, and giving up an offside goal in the 89th minute in Kiev in September is going to cost Porto a spot in the round of 16. Football. Bloody hell.
