Canada World Cup Friendly vs Uzbekistan, my reaction of the tale of two halves

Canada has now played 1 of their 2 Pre-World Cup friendlies, this one being against Uzbekistan. It was definitely a tale of two halves. In the first half, we looked rusty and off the pace, due in large part to many of our guys not being fully match fit following some injuries. Then, once we made changes, I thought the second half squad looked pretty good. Still leaving some stuff to talk about as well, like who takes the Vacant spot and who will be our number 1?
