Arukidnme, really sorry, when I posted yesterday I didn't come back to the forum until now. I never saw your reply, but we will have to link up on October 12th vs. Cuba. Now that I know I can message you before hand. But... What a game it was.
Crowd really rallied behind the team, 17,000+ is a good turnout considering the public's lack of support for the team. A home game vs. Panama doesn't necessarily catch the eye of the casual Toronto soccer fan.
DeRo's goal was a bit confusing for everybody up in the press box but once the ref pointed to half, most of the people up there couldn't help but let out a small cheer, however brief it was lol. All the pressure was on Canada, draw would have been great for Panama so the fact that the Canucks were able to dig deep and find the winner was something special too see. Hopefully they carry this momentum into Panama and pick up a result. Qualifying for the hex would certainly help spark fan support as well. Not to mention possibly prompting Hoilett to make a decision (hopefully the right one) regarding his international career.
Also, I've been saying it since the first round, Simeon Jackson is a must start. Not only is he fast, but he creates chances and can provide a great ball into the box. That's the difference between him and Ricketts. I like Ricketts, but he really only has his speed.
Can't wait till Tuesday!
