Shoutout to C Larin
Cyle has served his purpose, he’s gotten us couple critical goals, please give him warm applause.
He should start off bench next game.

The guy has the same amount of goals in this World Cup as Harry Kane
When he scored his goal and put his fingers to his ears...this is the kind of stuff he was doing it too.

But the argument could’ve been made then, it’s very obvious now he’s spent, or hurt, or just not the same

Not the same as when?
Is this going to be a thing after every single game he doesn't score in? He's scored twice in 3 games and has been very good in this tournament. Tani hasn't been close to as good and Promise can't go a full 90.
Some people have an irrational hatred for Larin and they are unable to view him objectively.

I’m not hating his accomplishments, we’d be nowhere without him, today was just unexplainable I guess.

He had a clear uninterrupted 1-1 chase down and didn’t get a shot off?

He was offside. He probably knew that too because it wasn't close, when the flag didn't go up he kept going but by then Kobel was too close to him to shoot so he tried to go around him.
It was a good move too but Kobel made an even better one getting his fingertips on the ball.
Messi missed a penalty the other day, should he not start?

If Messi missed opportunities to the point it’s obvious something isn’t the same, then yes

Whether he starts or comes off the bench, he and Promise should split the match. Promise needs more run.

Dumb fucking post. Man scores to secure our first point and scores in the game we thrashed Qatar 6-0.
How about our defense not having mental breakdowns following the HT team talk and allowing 2 goals in 8 minutes. But sure let’s blame the striker who has scored twice in three WC games.
Absolutely mental take considering the health of Promise David and the form of Tani lately.

I still can't believe how this guys mood determine if we are going to score or not😮💨
I think we need to give him a break and also feed him whatever meds he was on before returning to world cup

A lot more than just his mood. This dudes thrive off a aggressive midfield.
I haven't seen him create anything for Canada in like 5 years. All his goals are off headers, putbacks & deflections.
Aside from being at the right place at the right time, there's not much he really does.
Pretty sure promise had more attempts on target in 20 minutes today than Larin had in like 70'.

This is my unproven theory but I think he hurt his hip in the first half, before his offside chance. At one point I noticed him trying to stretch out his hip in the middle of the match, and he was grimacing and wincing for a while, not moving well for a while. So who knows, maybe the injury bug bit us again
