Canada Soccer Part VII: Copa America Semifinal Edition

[NyQuil]

Pointless short corner.

 

[ranold26]

1-0... it could be worse.

 

[Blender]

Short corner with stoppage time almost gone...

 

[GQS]

It's 1-0 at the 42min mark.
Plenty of time lol

For Canada and their weak offense 1-0 minus well be 5-0 most of the time. They played pretty well for the first 20 mins or so and then after the goal, they haven't looked dangerous offensively since.

 

[Tuggy]

Argentina really asserted themselves in the final 10 minutes of the half.

1-0 isn't terrible.

Need some pace injected. Larin has been mostly ineffective.

Miss not having Buchanan's directness.

 

[NyQuil]

I hate short corners with all my heart

We’re not Barcelona.

Larin and David are really weak at the international level. Completely lack the ability to win balls in the air and don't have the pace to generate any offense unless the ball is directly placed at their foot in a prime scoring chance (which never happens at this level).

Issue is we don't have guys that are any better.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

Found a way to watch the game on mute. Better than nothing lol.

Canada is giving the ball away with the smallest of pressure sometimes no pressure at all. This is why Palacios the ball hound was needed. Argentina just content with passing the ball aimlessly waiting for the perfect play. Game isn’t over but both teams need to do better. Uruguay looking at this and laughing.

The challenge on Romero should’ve been a red card. Any higher and the ref wouldn’t easily pull it out. He should’ve imo.

I feel Davies has more running in him. JD's touches have been poor. Shaff is not a technical player so he's getting exposed a bit tonight. I actually felt Larin's distribution was decent but when you have to pass to Laryea.. very little positive will come from him. Pleased with everything else , one great run, great ball and a finish. Bombito will learn and grow.

Laryea is zero threat offensively.

 

[Duchene2MacKinnon]

The Nashville boy can’t cross today or pass. Usually I come away with an impression when I watch him. I think he can hack it in say Belgium or Netherlands.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Laryea is zero threat offensively.

Marsch says he wants to go for it... so hopefully he puts our best players up front and goes for it.

Rough one so far.. he's more of an action Jackson rather than precision.

Could be the nerves.

Shaffelburg needs to improve technically, and that is never going to happen in the MLS. Belgium or Netherlands would be a good move for him.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

Really need McDavids speed up the middle.

Call the sport Hoccer and watch us own this shit.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

We’re not Barcelona.

Thank god.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

The ball didn't leave the pitch there.

f***ers.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

f***ers.

Ref is horrible.

 

[Tuggy]

Staq should just let that rip

Well that should do it...if it's onside.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Awful by Kone.

Messi touched it and looked offside.

Lolz. Definitely not offside.

 

[Tuggy]

Nevermind...

 

[GKJ]

Canada not getting 2, better hope this comes off.

 

[Scandale du Jour]

It was offside, but it won't be called.
Edit: not even close to offside.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This one is done. Just don't lose 4 or 5 nil.

 

[Blender]

Horrendous breakdown that offside might save us from.
