I believe that Suriname, who are usually a possession team, purposely came out with a strategy to play a total defensive match & they wanted to counter attack. That is a total compliment to Canada's speed, skill & athleticism. It obviously didn't work for them, as they didn't even get 1 shot on goal in that game, although they did manage to hold Canada to 1 goal, although we should have had at least 3. While Suriname may try play more aggressively in this match, I don't think that they will open up their game in the 1st half, as long as they are still only 1 goal behind on aggregate. I think they will continue with the counter attack strategy & they will only open up more sometime.in the 2nd half, if Canada is still up by only 1 goal. Now if Canada scores first (up by 2 in aggregate), then Suriname will be forced to change strategies & open up. Canada's defence, which is underrated, has been outstanding, since Marsch arrived & defence wins tournaments. I agree that Jr. Hoilett should start & he has been our best player for taking corner kicks over the years. By the way, in an interview today, Jonathan David said that he didn't find it too hot in Suriname & he also said that the pitch wasn't too bad.
