I'm too depressed to even insert the Ralph Wiggum "Oh Canada" gif

2024 CONCACAF W Gold Cup - Wikipedia

Canada goes a perfect 3-0 in the group stage at the Gold Cup. 13 GF 0 GA. #1 seed going into the knockout. They'll face Costa Rica in the QF (who they just beat).

Potential match with the US in the SF...

 

[Tuggy]

Not sure who this guy is, but good luck...

 

[al secord]

I think he's related to Brandon Saad.

Canada dominated the game but needed extra time to get past Costa Rica in the Gold Cup.

They'll face the winner of USA/Colombia in the SF.

Holy smokes....we got a game in June and it's a good one!

 

[Scandale du Jour]

About time we get that kind of friendly.

 

[al secord]

Good. There's two things in this world I can't stand; intolerance of other cultures...and the Dutch.

Corbeanu getting minutes in La Liga is exciting. Turning out to be a great move for the kid's career.

The better move would have been to keep playing for Romania. Canada has better offensive players he won't start over, and we've just qualified for the Euros so it would have been a great showcase for him.

We should have another friendly with a top tier team in June, blue said he hopes to get at least 2 Friendly's in before Copa America I mean we still have to qualify first

 

[matand]

The issue Canada has is defensively are CB are below average we need to devlop

Good to see them trying to bleed in some fresh blood with in form players. No Borjan in this squad

 

[robertmac43]

No Vitoria either which was interesting to me.

Also really annoyed we didn't get a home announcement. Both the Netherlands and Mexico are great friendlies, but far from home...

 

[PanniniClaus]

Fine with everything other than Piette... we need to get more midfield talent in.. He played his part and probably outplayed his talent over the years but we cannot be taking him to major tourneys any longer.

Wonder if Biello felt Borjan and Vitoria weren't pulling in the preferred direction?

We also will have another friendly in September so 4 Friendly's likely away from home wondering where are they getting this money from but so far blue is doing a good job now we need to qualify for Copa and find a top manager

Bombito earned the spot he's been really good. To be honest I still rather them call up Zack Mcgraw and have him play with Miller because they have good chemistry together and both play every game together I also think he's better then Bombito

My guess is if Biello wins the T&T game he will get the nod to manage at COPA... Not my first choice but knowing Canada Soccer they will see this as a budget friendly way to move forward.

I doubt it I would have to look it up but it was already confirmed he would take a spot within the the Canadian Soccer Association and who ever becomes manager will bring his own people in.

I thought I saw Kloke and some of the other Canada Soccer media saying Biello is in the running to get the job based on how he does with the interim tag.

He's also made it known he wants to stay in the position beyond the T&T game.
