I agree with almost everything that you said, except for one statement: I'm sorry; but you said that Canada is heading home to BMO, "a field that Canada never seems to lose at".... Just last year, we were in this same exact situation vs Jamaica & we even led 1-0 after the 1st half @ BMO field, only to lose the match 3-2 & got eliminated. Mind you, Canada struggled in 2023, due to Union issues & after the disappointment of not winning @ the World cup. Canada is on top of it's game now under Jesse Marsch's guidance. Still, they cannot afford to enter this match @ BMO field overconfident at all. They need to play much better in this match & show CONCACAF that we are indeed a dominant team & set the scene for the springtime semi-finals. Jr. Hoilett has always been a class act & a very talented player. He is by far, the best player on the team when it comes to taking corner kicks & for that reason, we may need him to start. Our corner kicks have been quite frankly terrible!!! Yes, the Reffing was predictably terrible. As they said on the broadcast, the constant stopping for fouls that shouldn't have been called, threw Canada off of its rythmn. It's no excuse for not playing our best; but it sure didn't help. I am looking forward to Larin starting again. It has proven to be a winning formula for Canada, even when he hasn't scored.. Apparently he didn't start this 1st match because of a slight nagging injury, even though he came on later. Marsch also wanted to experiment; but Tani isn't there yet. Marsch loves Larin's full game & he & David are improving every match. I agree that Ahmed did not have a strong game either. I hope that Tajon can get back in form soon.

Suriname decided to play with 6 defenders on the field. The plan was to try to stay behind the ball and counter attack. That’s not the way they play. They usually are a possession based team. But they respected Canada too much. Now they are forced to score goals in the 2nd leg. Canada should be the favorite to win, but Suriname 🇸🇷 will only get better as more higher profile players decide to play for them.

Surimerican, they were smart to respect Canada too much. That should have been a 3-0 result. Suriname played for a 0-0 tie & it almost happened. Had Suriname played more offensively, Canada would have exposed them even more. Remember that Canada had one of the best defences in the Copa Americas & then only allowed 1 goal for USA & no goals to Mexico in the Friendlies afterwards.

Ik denk dat Menzo het correct had gedaan. Want Paal was er niet. Dus ja. Had je een normale opstelling (je weet wel wat ik bedoel) denk ik dat Canada wel meer had gescoord en was het ook al eerder voorbij.

@@jrcanuck1 I agree ☝️

I was very surprised to see how much Suriname played off and respected Canada. I expected Canada to control the match but didn't think to that extent, was really expecting to see Suriname control periods of the game which never happened. But Suriname trailing in the tie going to Toronto having to score really plays into Canada's hand. But I do agree with Suriname recruiting new players they'll only improve and become more dangerous.

as much as i like tani , i really dont see what marsch sees in him , hes not performing at club level and has had so many chances with the team and has never delivered. Larin is trash at club level and bad as a sub too dont let one goal against panama fool you he should be davids back up from now on. give promise david a chance next window . marsch needs to be cutthroat with his selection if your not performing at club and not amazing for country like shaffelburg you get dropped

I think Marsch made some big decisions especially with the goalkeepers and backline even though defenders were forced changed. But who plays next to David is a major decision to be made now. Tani misses way to many chances and can’t be missing chances consistently especially in major games. Promise David needs a chance now in March has to be convinced to join Canada.
