To be fair, Chilean officials would have no love for Argentina.

De Paul alone must have been down for 4 minutes with his near-death experiences.

Cannot take the trash behavior away from an Atleti player.

Well, I would have liked to score one.
Tough to turn it around for the next one against another top team.

I thought Canada fought hard but Argentina was simply better. Happy with the performance and proud of the boys. They played till the end.
Big 3rd place match on Saturday against another really good team.

Argentina didn't play their best, but played a game worthy of easily progressing through a knockout stage game.
Canada was uncreative in possession, but didn't embarrass themselves. Somebody needs to start scoring goals, though.
Carry it forward and put in a good show in the 3rd place game. Hopefully Davies is good to go.

alright we'll do hockey next week Argentina, bet it's a worse drubbing than 2-0
Proud of the team, hell of an effort from them in this tourney. Hope they can bring their best in the 3rd place game.

Boy how I hope De Paul's pretty face gets caved in someday soon.
I think De Paul is my new most hated player, and the happiest moment of the half was seeing Kone expose him for the world class bitch that he is.
Clear difference between the two, with Argentina capitalizing on their opportunities. It's exciting to think about what we could do if we sorted out our final third. Sky's the limit!
Hoping Colombia takes this tournament, but also don't want to play against Uruguay in the 3rd place game
Argentina's theatrics was infuriating enough!

Who said this lol?
They celebrate for 90 mins… stop it.Davies is hurt and they show Argentinian fans celebrating in the stands
Yeah buddy sure there was one team in this. The ref was fine. Everyone just nitpicking out of frustration. Expecting perfection?
Sure… another Madrid fan.
I mean you lot have your fair share. RDP is a master at what he does. Today he was my motm. Wouldn’t change a single thing about him. Been his terrible hair and horrid technical abilities at times.De Paul is such a little bitch
Getting more looks at that 1st goal.. David didn't spend an ounce of energy hurrying De Paul there. Great ball from dick head and a great run and touch by Alvarez. Alvarez showed his class with some amazing touches.

Honestly this was more showing Canada’s level as a opposed to a masterclass by Scaloni or Argentina. Canada had trouble making simple shots, passes and crosses. This really shows how far behind they are. Every time they had the ball I just expected them to pass to an Argentine.
David simply isn’t good enough. How he has bagged 20 goals in France is beyond me. The other Davies every time I watch I come away with “that’s it”? I don’t see a WC player I see a decent FB who relies far too much on being a gifted athlete than a footballer. Since burning the 2nd worst FB Barca had in Semedo, I just don’t get it with him and the hype.
Uruguay should beat us in the final. I beginning to think ADM and Messi can’t start together. There’s no pressing. Alvarez was mammoth but can he do this every game to cover for both oldies? Not sure. The rest of the players were good to decent. Montiel won a starting spot in the final. Enzo looked great today consider how bad he has been this tournament. RDP was a beast as I said earlier my motm. That trident of MartinezX2 and Cuti is the only shot we have against Uruguay they’ll be hard to beat but can Argentina score?

just embarrassing
Can't imagine having to cheer for this guy.
At least Kone made him look like even more of a tool.

No one is forcing this clown to watch. Whoever this idiot who kicked the ball into RDP is playing right into his hands. I bet RDP has it on replay smiling at a job well done. I know I am.

Ultimately we have a midfield that is getting better and a backline that won't f*** up countless times anymore.
The issue is our inability to score goals which is due to some really underwhelming talent up front. We need players that have pace and can kick a ball with while in motion. The individual talent to score goals in the box isn't there and we are often forced to take extra touches or cross 50/50 balls in the box.
As a Whitecaps fan. Ali Ahmed has been really dissapointing to follow. He showed some epic talent early on but has never really progressed in 2 years.

It's disappointing, but considering where the program has come from since Herdman was hired, it's quite something. However, it's frustrating at the moment.
Shouldn't be making an over-the-top claim about Jonathan David, but he had a poor game.
But, Kone, deary me... what a player. We need three more midfielders like him.

Ahmed showed his versatility today.. I also don't consider the Whitecaps to be even average at developing talent. They are actually worse than TFC which is hard to do. He needs out of there, much like Adekugbe and Cornelious did.
Having a better cross would add a different option.. we lack that as well as the combo play in tight spaces around the box. Our offense mainly comes from fast breaks on the counter but we still lack the quality to consistently score there.
Down 2-0 with De Paul rolling around at every turn, he does not come off looking good on that play. It is petulance from Kone but some ref or refs watching that will make a mental note as we head towards 26. See how many calls he gets there if he's still in the team.

Like I said he’s a master at what he does. He’s great at drawing contact and gettting deserved fouls. He’s been doing this for years it won’t change because a few fans get frustrated and not understand what’s actually happening. He protects the ball very well and draws in fouls. Does he stay on the ground far too long and exaggerates his pain yes and that’s his point. He also won’t be on the team in 2 years, not starting I don’t think anyway.
Must suck for you that Atleti players are in the Finals of the Copa America and Euro...
