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

[Kirby]

They review and upgrade yellow cards to red on hard fouls missed. It should be the same thing for pure BS dives that were called incorrectly. The yellow should be taken away from Canada and given for the Argentina players performance upon review.

Get the f*** up

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

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

Passing isn't sharp. Need to lead their passes more. Too many soft, slow passes that leave the receiver waiting on it and time for Argentine defenders to break up. Throw more shots at the net - at least force a save to be made.

 

[Barrsy]

Euro refs are far less corrupt than Copa.
And wtf is with the diving in COPA. Far more than Euro.

Honestly straight reds for that would start to curb that shit.

He grabbed his shin acting like that’s where her was “kicked”, bring out the sledgehammer and reward him with the injury he claimed to have.

South American teams are notoriously bad for this behaviour, I’ve experienced this in my soccer career as well.

100% to the bolded

And it always feels like CONMEBOL’s directive is to chase out any invitee nations as quickly as possible

 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

Loool

Dude would be dead in hockey

Hairband guy sure spends alot of time on the ground. Embarrassing.

 

[Garbo Man]

The issue with the diving is they flop onto the ground and roll around like their femur just got snapped in half. If you're rolling around like that you should need to be subbed off because if you're in enough pain to go down and roll around like you need surgery to fuse your bones back together there's no way you should be able to play the rest of the game

 

[5 14 6 1]

Officials are more corrupt than the NHL

Yup. Has a lot of tattoos but a seemingly low pain tolerance

Wonder if he rolled around the tattoo parlour every time?

The issue with all the diving is that it works. The officials ALWAYS call the foul regardless, and there's no punishment for diving AT ALL. There are no cards, no fines, no suspensions, nothing. There's nothing that's deterring them from wanting to dive for fouls

Prolly temporary tattoos. Less trauma for the delicate flower

Yep. Soccer doesn’t even try to curb the embellishment. I love watching these tourneys but it’s embarrassing. Have some pride.

 

[Oilhawks]

Lmao Kone

De p***y deserved it

 

[5 14 6 1]

De Paul is pathetic

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Argentina flopping all over the place…hard to watch
Canada just doesn’t have quality finishers

 

[Messrules11]

I can’t watch anymore of this, he kicks the ball into his back and apparently that hurt. Like f*** off Argentina, pathetic.

Kone kicking the ball off De Pauls back

Don't blame him, the officiating has been frustrating for the Canadian squad this game.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

I’ll never take soccer seriously until they cut down on the diving
It’s embarrassing

De p***y makes Ehlers look like a tough guy

Immediately dives for the ground grabbing his ankle the minute tattoo artist pulls out the needle

Dude probably hires his own ref to follow him around to give people cards if they ever touch him out in public

 

[Oilhawks]

What a great totally intentional save. Hope these clowns get slaughtered in the finals

Then he acts like he took a bullet to the back.

A couple great chances from Canada, needed one to go in unfortunately.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

We made it this far as Team f***ing Canada. Same shit with SC game 7 - just proud over here for the boys.

 

[Garbo Man]

As much as i want to watch this sport and enjoy it. I don't think I'll ever watch another game again. I can't stand this shit. It's legit unwatchable.
