Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

Miller close on the back post from a set piece.

Hoilett has been spot on with his delivery.

lol we play Dubai City FC after this?

Looking great! Kamal and Vitoria with great runs on these set plays as well.

I wouldn't mind seeing Frasier get a run ahead of him here.

Love this! He has earned some minutes in that midfield

HT at 1-1.

I think that's a fair result so far. Both teams have had their moments.

Now time for some Japanese commercials

Kone on for Piette.

Gotta release the ball Tajon.

I wish Tajon was a bit of a better passer. Love him down that side at pace!

Junior has been the most pleasant surprise today. He's really in great form.

I think he needs to start on the 23rd, no?

 

[Tuggy]

I think he needs to start on the 23rd, no?

I think so, but depends on the health of Eustaquio and Davies.

Assuming the same lineup as today, then Eustaquio would come in for Piette.

If Davies is good to start then I'd probably bring him in for Larin.

I'd start Hutch and Hoilett I think.

He would for me, without a doubt.

I think we need to start Larin. He can help defend set pieces which we struggle with.

Post for Japan...Kaye caught out there.

Why is David still on?

 

[Tuggy]

I think we need to start Larin. He can help defend set pieces which we struggle with.

At this moment I'm not expecting Davies to start, so Larin would be in.

We'll see what kind of formation Herdman wants to go with against Belgium.

Penalty!

Good pk practice for the round of 16 lol

 

[Tuggy]

Cavallini converts! (barely)

 

[Satan]

helllllllllllll yes boys

 

[al secord]

Um....Cavalini? Lol

 

[wingman75]

Ha ha, hardly definitive but has the same result as a bullet to the corner.

The play leading up to the penalty was fantastic. Nice to see something positive in the final third!

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Um....Cavalini? Lol

Yeah...at least this is a friendly but man...

 

[al secord]

Japanese fans looked as shocked as me when I noticed Cavallini taking the spot kick

 

[Tuggy]

Canada wins 2-1 on a very late penalty.

I think that is a fair result. Canada had more chances IMO and really if they were sharper in the final third then they could have bagged a couple more.

A positive sign going into next week.

LFG boys
