Also, Jamaica beating Honduras at Honduras would be a big result for Canada as well as Costa Rica losing.
very big, very important, very exciting.Big big game tonight.
I thought that ball was actually out but we weren’t necessarily getting any breaks with the officiating either so whatever, it all balances out.Man, what a game. Canada carried the play for most of the game but that 7 or 8 minute spell around the 55-60 minute mark where Panama took over had me worried, and it was so frustrating because it was another game where Canada should have been leading at that point. Then Davies just made that goal happen all by himself to totally turn the momentum for Canada and that was it. I thought it was out, but that was all skill keeping the ball in with that split second reaction. Nice goals by Buchanan and David as well, and it was nice to see David get that goal with the earlier chances he had and with him seeming a little snake bit. Really good game by the midfielders and really the whole team staying on top of balls and not giving Panama breathing room for most of the game.

Wow. .incredible 2nd goal there. Davies...I never get to see these things live
Ball wasnt out.I thought that ball was actually out but we weren’t necessarily getting any breaks with the officiating either so whatever, it all balances out.
Great game. One of the best games they’ve played this cycle against quality opposition.Good game I assume? I was at the oilers game so I haven't been paying attention to anything else
I’ve seen balls closer to the line called out before, the line ref could’ve easily called it out.Ball wasnt out.
To be out in soccer the whole of the balls diameter has to be across the line.
Was that play not offside? There was a Canada player closer to Panama net when that kick was made.Ball wasnt out.

No.I don't watch soccer but is Davies equivalent to Mcdavid?

Damn, that's high praise. Everytime I've seen highlights he does impress me and this is someone that knows little about soccer hah.Tough question. Definitely in same conversation. With proviso that many more people would know about and follow Davies than McDavid because Soccer is the biggest game on the planet. The way I approach questions like this is to say that Soccer has dozens of superstars in the world. When a billion people or more play a sport, and countless millions play it very competitively, you're going to have a lot of elite players.
What I've always respected about soccer is the magic occurs with the ball at the feet. Soccer is harder to play because you have to develop such skill with feet, unlike sports that are hand coordination oriented.
But watch the goal today. Note the extraordinary close speed of Davies, note this is his kind of acceleration while playing a game where you are on the field all the time. Note how many times in a game he's making a spectacular play, dribbling through traffic. The sky is the limit with this kid. Its quite possible that he could develop into one of the vary best players in the game and he's already the best or second best player on Bayern Munich, a club that is as dominant as the 70's Habs were.
Finally, Davies isn't just the best Canadian, or Concacaf player now, he's bidding to establish being the best there has been. Billions of people probably see Davies goal within 24hrs. It will be shown everywhere. Thats one point about how big it is.
