Just saw this from https://canpl.ca/article/3-thoughts-canada-dominant-in-blowout-win-vs-cayman-islands :

Give credit to David Wotherspoon

If there’s any individual player that deserves a shout-out after that game, it might be David Wotherspoon. Playing in just his fourth game for the national team, he stepped into the middle and commanded things in the final third.

The 31-year-old midfielder for St. Johnstone in Scotland played all 90 minutes against the Caymans, scoring his first goal and picking up three assists. Despite his relative inexperience with the side, he was confident and composed throughout, weaving give-and-go passes seamlessly through the (admittedly poorly-defended) 18-yard box.

It’s good to see Wotherspoon playing so well, and it could bode well for Canada later this summer. Although it’s very unlikely Wotherspoon would see action in a World Cup qualifier against a top side like those in the Octagonal, he could be a major piece of the Gold Cup squad this year. If it is indeed the plan to keep some of the key first-team players out of that competition in favour of World Cup qualifying, somebody like Wotherspoon could be crucial for that rotated side.

Demonstrating his ability to lead and control an attack like he did in this game will do wonders for Wotherspoon’s stock with the national team.

Great boost for Spoony. Expect he might be rested for the Dundee game now.

Both of Canada's last two games seem to have been played in Florida, even though one was a home game and one was an away game. Not sure what that's all about.

You know what, that makes sense. They are probably using a hub/bubble. And a lot of the folk wandering about round the game behind the fences seemed suspiciously white and suspiciously uninterested “geez, is that kickball?”.

Spoony looked absolutely knackered after about 60 mins. God alone knows what temperature it was. Can’t see him playing on Saturday what with the flights as well.

If Spoony flies back on a commercial flight will he not have to isolate for 10 days?  Not a problem if he is cream crackered anyway.

Probably will have the plane to himself anyway. 

I ended up on a stream with no commentary again. Was telling the wife it was an incredible  game with non-stop goalmouth action. Then realised it was halftime and I was watching the first half highlights.....

Wonder what McPake will criticise the Ref. for?

Ref. even added on 6mins to try and help them.

Good to see Charlie's sponsor getting his monies worth from Charlie sitting on the bench. Seems to be working ,their results have improved.
