Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[PanniniClaus]

Finally get to see someone else in there...

I think we have all been waiting for someone else to get a chance here. Love Borjan... he really improved his game between the ages of 30 and 36. He provided stability for the first time since Forrest.

Not sure where Crepeau is in his recovery... St.Clair seems to be next and I have no reference point on McGill.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

Jonathan Sirois deserves a shot at the NT.

 

[Tuggy]

Well must win game tonight...didn't think I would be saying that for this match...

Win by 2 and they are guaranteed to advance. Win by 4 and a draw in the other match and they clinch top spot.

The winner of the group gets Jamaica and the runner up gets the US in the QF.

Given Canada's performance so far, I don't like their chances against either one of them. But gotta get there first...

Feels like there is a lot riding on a good result tonight..... Hopefully we can find some goals or it will be another frustrating 90 minutes followed by a long wait before we see the team play again.

Chris Jones' assessment of the situation for whatever that is worth.

 

[robertmac43]

Bombito needs to be quicker on the ball. Been a problem all tournament.



How did that stay out....? Basically sums up the tournament for us right there..

 

[robertmac43]

Thank goodness, now to get a couple more!

 

[hatterson]

Kinda nuts that Canada could still top the group

 

[robertmac43]

And another one. Well deserved for Oso.

 

[robertmac43]

St. Clair could not have played that worst...

Dreadful... In games like these it comes down to decisions and that was awful

It's funny because many have been pushing for Borjan to leave since his WC showing... Not a good start for life post Borjan.

yes - be careful what we wish for because we truly do not know what we will get from the rest. McGill has to go somewhere to play.

Agreed. I like McGill but he needs to go out on loan this year.

 

[Tuggy]

Nelson!

 

[robertmac43]

Man we really need to find that next goal.

 

[Tuggy]

Get Cavallini off!

 

[robertmac43]

This is the most CONCACAF night of football in years.

 

[Tuggy]

Well deserved for Millar

 

[robertmac43]

One more goal and we go top to play Jamaica!

 

[al secord]

I'm sure I'm not the only one here that thinks this win was all Phil Neville

 

[robertmac43]

Some good news. Finally:

 

[hatterson]

That's a pretty brutal handball call.

 

[robertmac43]

That is such a harsh call....

 

[Michelangelo]

so if Guadeloupe equalizes and Cuba somehow gets another one, we're f***ed, right?
