Game just started a few minutes ago....

Early foul against Canada. About 5 minutes into the match...

US Goal..

Bocanegra scores off a header six yards out (from a corner)

8th minute...

About the worst possible start for Canada :(

Do you guys know the starting 11 and whos in the bench?

[Canadian_Supporter]

Maycoll Canizalez took a corner for Canada, so we know at least one Canadian player.

Canizalez plays for Werder Bremen reserves, and tonight is his first senior national team cap.

and its 3-0 USA at half...

Canada has had a few chances, but nothing has come out of them (obviously)

Like I told everybody here on the 27th of December and repeated many times after the final score would be 4-0, and it was.

Can you pick six numbers for me?

Did you get a chance to watch the game? I am glad I didn't drive to Ottawa to watch it...

I wish I could pick six number for me!

No, I didn't see it. Rather than go downtown to watch it in a cafe with Vic Bianchin, the editor of the world football pages, and who knows who else has a stong dislike towards me, and knowing that they'd lose 4-0 I stayed home and followed it on the USA match tracker.

I'm glad I did.

At least youth is given a chance. That's the only possitive thing to come out of this game. Did Friend come on as a sub?

He came on in the second half and played around 25 minutes.

Fair enough. I predicted that score the day before the match when I was informed that De Rosario got a broken foot & once we knew that Stalteri, De Guzman & McKenna would all also be unavailable (on Dec. 27th we thought they would be). Had those guys played there's no way the score would have ended up 4-0.

[Krammerhead]

Well thats easy enough to say.
