Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[robertmac43]

god, it's bad enough that Phil nepotismed his way into 59 England caps, but him nepotisming his way to the Lionesses' helm (wherein he held the team that is now at worst #2 on earth back from hitting that height 5 years ago when they likely should've) and then to Inter Miami is truly abominable.

i wouldn't trust him coaching a Canadian university

He must be great a selling himself lol. His resume in management does not help his cause at this point.

I wouldn't mind him coaching UVic. Those hippies deserve him.

Is that title real? Lmao

Yes, the title is common at buildings, not people.

Marsch: Wasn't treated well in USMNT coach hunt

Newly appointed Canada coach Jesse Marsch has criticized U.S. Soccer over its treatment of him during the process of hiring the U.S. men's national team coach last year.

www.espn.com

"My respect for U.S. Soccer is big, but I went through a process with them, right? And I'm not going to go into it, but I wasn't treated very well in the process," Marsch told CBS' "Call it What You Want" podcast.

"And so, whatever man, that's in the past now. The minute it was done I was like, 'OK, I'm moving forward, and I'm going to figure out what's right for me.'

It's great that Marsch has a chip on his shoulder, but unless he can pull a couple centre backs out of his ass and a holding midfielder, it's going to be a difficult couple of years.

Yea, he's pissed. "Whatever, man. It's in the past," was not convincing.

Glad to have a manager that wants to beat the USA as bad as us fans lol

Big Berhalter fan too

One of my biggest pet peeves is listening to Americans talk football, so it's going to take a lot to get used to. I still have nightmares of playing in a tourney in the 90s and finding out I needed to take our spot kick from centre field.

Valour finally pick up a win yesterday. Puts Halifax in last place in the CPL with 1 point.

They have had a great following, selling out most games this season. I wonder if the poor form is going to start taking its toll on ticket sales.

I think Halifax can withstand some bad form, as long as there is hope.

GET RID OF THE STUPID AWAY GOAL TIEBREAKER FOR THE CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP AND EVERY OTHER COMPETITION ON THE PLANET

Seriously, it's an absolutely stupid and bullshit rule that wrecks second legs constantly.

 

[robertmac43]

Speaking of second legs.... A big one tonight in Montreal. Would love for Forge to finally get over the MLS hump and win this one.

Montreal are in turmoil. If there is a time for Forge to do it, it is now.

We all knew it when it happened.. Tomori was blinded by the "white".

 

[robertmac43]

Wow, Forge actually pulled it off! Time to go win this trophy and become the first CPL team to ever do it!

Borjan, Vitoria, Kaye and Cavallini look to be permanently exiled.

3 of the 4 had looked like their race was run anyway... Vitoria will be too old by the 2026 WC and I assume he ruffled some feathers while he was at it. Borjan seemed to do same.
