GDT: Canadian Soccer | Canada at the Copa America - July 9 vs Argentina in the SF

[Oilhawks]

The Netherlands are going to beat England. Mark my words. The place will be buzzing!

Not crazy about the Netherlands but I’d rather they win it all at this point

One of the only “big” soccer nations to not win a major tournament, this year as a dark horse as good as any. Especially since the alternatives are it actually “comes home” (lol) or Spain takes sole lead of most Euro wins

I was surprised that Netherlands have never won any major tournament.

Canada vs Argentina, time to pull off the Miracle on Pitch.

Closest they got I think was 1974. Considered the favourites (at the time) go up 1-0 but lose 2-1. Beckenbauer and Gerd Muller in particular would go on to be legends. G Muller, of course, considered a GOAT with 68 goals in 62 caps.

 

[walktheboulavard]

The pitch is so slow from the rain. Also Canada blowing good opportunities with lack of accuracy on their passes and anticipation.

 

[Messrules11]

Didn’t like the defensive effort on that goal at all. Soccer guys are such wusses.

 

[AddyTheWrath]

Drake keeps f***ing us

And I’m not even 12 years old

 

[DrDrai]

It’s likely over given the opponent. Canada wasted that odd man rush early in the game.

 

[DrDrai]

What a wasted corner, such a ridiculous choice. Get the ball into the box.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Canada is hanging around.

Surprised because throughout history Holland is all talk all day and no action. Historically the most heralded nation not to have accomplished a thing on world stage. except winning all the diving comps.

I'll take Spain despite the shenanigans against Germany. Neither England or Holland who have come through the very weak side draw deserve anything.

 

[Oilhawks]

Canada v refs as well, again

It honestly feels like it’s any moment…that Argentina will score

 

[Kirby]

Canada's defense sucks haha.

Canada also passing on shooting the ball way too often. No killer instinct

 

[DrDrai]

They simply aren’t good enough, they need to take what Argentina gives them, one extra pass or touch has prevented them from having scoring opportunities.

You can’t clear a ball up the middle, that’s U9 stuff.

 

[oobga]

Turning great opportunities into no shot at all with a poor pass. Reminds me of a team

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Spain France was a good game. I'm in the anybody but England camp.

Canada needs more finishing skills. Overhandling and leaving scoring chances on the table against an elite opponent.

 

[Kerberos]

We just don't have enough consistent quality to compete with a squad like Argentina.

We really still manage to f*** up the final 1/3 like the point is not to score as well which doesn't help.

Eh, more the no call before the first goal. They got f***ed around in the Venezuela game too

But not good enough either way. Argentina won’t have such an easy time v Uruguay (or Colombia)

Shaffelburg is the only one that ever looks a threat to score.

It’s too bad Davies can’t be played further up right now

Officiating is at an all time low in all major sports, it’s really sad.

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

Welp

 

[Oilhawks]

Yup, terrible in the Euros too. As bad as it is in hockey, it’s even worse in soccer. Felt like VAR was helping but just a blip

 

[DrDrai]

What a wild acting job, dude got his heel clipped.

 

[Oilhawks]

Loool

Dude would be dead in hockey
