That's unfortunately probably the game. Really poor read from Bombito. They won't give up, but now they have to be more risky and that will open up Argentina counters.

It was bound to happen though with us missing so many chances.

We've had to have like 15 million really good chances against Argentina in the 2 games so far and we just overplay or underplay it.

Thankfully Bombito should continue to grow because we've been so weak back there.

Yeah I don't know if we have any CBs coming in over the next years

I still don't know why they go 4-4-2 vs argentina, especially when it didn't work in game 1, it's clear we need to do better in the middle of field after game 1 and should be playing to sit back and hope for a counter attack against this team.

I would rather see that shot from messi on the outside then losing the middle of the field.

The one thing you cannot underestimate is the heart of Canadians, they will not quit.
That's true.. but we have very few players who can actually score. And that's pretty evident from our goal scoring record since the World Cup. It's been pretty bad.

We've scored 25 goals in 21 games. And 10 of those goals came in 3 games against Honduras, Guadeloupe (which we didn't win), and Cuba.

And only 2 in our last 6 1/2 games. Without Crepeau, this tournament is long over.
