Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[PanniniClaus]

So that should be it for Cavallini in a Canada shirt. Running around like a chicken with his head cut off and fouling people.

Surprising to see Vitoria dribbled like that. Shaffelburg for Millar wouldn't bother me.

Pleased the debutants all looked decent.

 

[PanniniClaus]

well... no barge from the second man?

 

[hatterson]

Where is this being streamed?

 

[PanniniClaus]

K - Cavallini ... his pass more impressive than his finish. Love me some Junny

One soccer for us in Canada. Don't know about streams.

 

[Tuggy]

Well level at least...

Looks like it’s on FS1 for me.

 

[Tuggy]

This is terrible...Guadeloupe all over them.

 

[hatterson]

Well deserved and very pretty goal.


(Lol)

 

[Tuggy]

Ugly goal but whatever works I guess

Canada in front 2-1

 

[PanniniClaus]

Ali Ahmed..great touch from Brym..and then all the luck you could imagine..

 

[Tuggy]

Shaffelburg has been good since he's come on.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Been watching our boys since 84... do not recall a game where we had 5 first time caps..

 

[Tuggy]

And Guadeloupe ties it in added time...ffs

 

[PanniniClaus]

5 black jerseys ran for that header and never got close...

 

[Tuggy]

Brutal performance.

Awful.

 

[PanniniClaus]

I know zonal marking on corners gets heat... Wenger was big on it, but I think we could benefit from it based on what i've seen over the past few games on set pieces..

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Drawing against Guadeloupe is beyond pathetic.

 

[hatterson]

Just finished the second half on delay.

Man that corner defending was awful. Not remotely close to what any professional team should be doing.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Watched this one on delay. Canada fully deserved to lose and were totally lackluster. Deservedly booed off the pitch.

It's time to thank Borjan for his services and move on as he's having massive issues tracking balls and making poor reads in the box. We know this nation has a deficit of reliable CBs and this will not change anytime soon...we need a keeper that can at least make a difference.

Another massive issue continues to be Herdman. Wrong players, wrong subs, waits too long to make subs, and cannot adjust during the game. It's evident that he isn't connecting with the players on many fronts and he has zero ability to command any adjustments during the game. Jesus...

Far from the greatest performance from us. I'm willing to give the guys a pass since it was a short camp and many of these guys were making their debuts. Hoping for a cleaner performance on Sunday night.

I also think Guadeloupe is being underrated in this thread and beyond. They have Gravillon who plays in Serie A, Ambrose who spent some time with City before moving on to Belgium's top flight, a couple guys from Ligue 2, and more playing around Europe. I have them finishing second in the group and based on available talent they may push on further than I originally thought.

I guess then the question becomes, how does an island with the population of Halifax produce so much better footballers

It doesn't. They're almost exclusively born and raised in France.

Ah right of course, didn't entirely think that through
