Venezuela often had the run of play when they were chasing, I would say, but when things were evened up I felt that Canada was the stronger team. And they had way more chances, as you said. Really it was a great goal/bad GK mistake that even let it go to pks.

There is still a huge gulf between these teams and the likes of Brazil, Argentina, Uruguay, Columbia. Even though Argentina had to squeak one out against Ecuador.
I doubt Argentina will make that mistake again and will come at Canada hard.

At least $6m USD. Players need to finally be paid.

Canada is a tier or 2 lower than Argentina and the like, but this was one of the biggest victories in the history of the national team. We are in the Semi finals of Copa America mofo!! We are pushing forward, building our talent pool. Getting better and better. Enjoy the moment.

Man what a win. Our squad could have won this thing easily. 3 or 4 prime chances that should have been put away.
The big story to me is the evolution of Cornelius and Bombito who appear to be reliable CB's. We are getting closer to a complete squad!

It still seemed disorganised at the back, and they had a hard time stringing together passes under pressure. A fair few flubbed clearings as well, which Venezuela couldn't take advantage of. The counter-attack was good, and was often initiated from the back line. That will be really needed against Argentina for sure, who undoubtedly will have 70% or so possession.
Thought Canada produced more quality chances.
The ref had some very questionable decisions, even the commentators were remarking.
Just before the goal the Venezuelan goalie comes and knocks the ball into touch. Then he purposely delays the quick throw and there is no yellow. Like how tf? Also, what is Canada doing, committing that many forward on a long throw?
Thought Estaquiao (sp?) wasn't great in the game and looked nervous before his pk.
Happy to be through to the semi-finals. Fingers crossed we can play with Argentina.

my favourite part of this video is actually 0:15 to 0:19. click if you want to see some sick dance moves
Just a totally different standard for what the two teams were allowed to do. It was absurd.

It's great to be talking about the team like this, they didn't fluke a goal then shithouse their way into a win - they were flat out the better side and you know they could've done even better on a rematch.
Canada really controlled the flow and could've run up the score with a bit better luck and less terrible refereeing. Still would've been a relatively tidy win if not for the massive Crepeau blunder (who otherwise played very well). Squeezing by on penalties was karma making sure the better side won.
