Footy Talks: Did John Herdman make the right decisions against Mexico?

Debate has raged about John Herdman’s hiring as Canadian Men’s National Team manager ever since the rushed announcement was made that he would be taking over the job.

For a multitude of reasons, many believed he was not a good fit, or did not like the way Octavio Zambrano was relieved of his spot. Many have come around as Herdman built up wins and positive energy among the camp. However, others remain skeptical or worse.

The debate has picked up again in full after Canada’s 3-1 loss against Mexico, one where somewhat surprising tactics and roster decisions were front and centre.
