Cuba-Canada in game thread (R)

[superbrad]

I hope Honduras and Panama massacre each other in an epic game with 4 red cards and 6 injuries that ends in a tie and Honduras come limping into BMO field.

Scoreless draw would be perfect...

Sorry, put in wrong thread.

Job done! Looks like we won't have Hirsch and Occean for Honduras. The Cannicks got the job done.

Why are you implying Occeon won't be there for Honduras? Is there confirmation he is injured?

[The Beaver]

Nothing confirmed yet, but he was indeed holding his hamstring and limped onto the field after the game. Maybe it was just cramping from dehydration. The big guys suffer most in these conditions. At least I am hoping it is a cramp and not a tear.

Hart apparently said the track around the field was melting it was so hot

I think that was just some gamesmanship on our part. I'm sure Occean is okay.

When the Cuban players find it hot in Havana you KNOW it's hot in Havana.

Horrid game, great goal, think the Cuban's will need to bunker on the return leg. They are awful.

Why is it that no matter a positive result some people want to analyze and find negatives? Chrissakes, smoke a joint or something, drink a bloody beer, celebrate the victory, and be happy about 3 points in 30+ degrees celcius on a crappy pitch, bad Cuban team or not.

Great post! I just went through some of the match thread and you guys that were in your air conditioned offices watching a stream of this have no idea how tough it was there! I was honestly worried we'd have medical emergencies from heat exhaustion from our players! I know they're pros and had a camp in Florida but short of training for a couple of months in that stuff, nothing can prepare you! Put it this way, most days it was too hot for us to drink beer on the beach in the breeze at 2PM!
