I don't understand how we were not able to just add 2 more goals in the last 5 minutes....

I just don't understand the reffing. They were finishing checks like it was 90s hockey. I get the play was over, but give a card and they stop it. the ref had zero control. what a mess.

I will give Canada's back 4 credit, they've been solid, the goalie has been incredible, but our midfield are bad. davies tries to do too much, and we just don't have somebody that can control the middle of the field.

they need to figure something out because they cannot do anything in the middle and consistently make the wrong choice. I still think Davies should be a winger for us. He has the legs, speed, and create chances with it, he's useless up front and playing a true middle field role. he isn't 3-4 steps ahead of the play.

The head butt that did not draw a red, or a yellow, or even a free kick. Peru player got a verbal warning. :facepalm:

Both. They don’t have the depth to replace players that aren’t really working, like Larin.

At least Tajon is coming on now
it's also an extremely young team and basically young program, catching up. Canada will be a force within a decade, imo, but it needs to unfortunately, learn to play through the shithousery, incompetent refs and weather. Why more games are not scheduled in Canada is beyond me.
I thought the central American opponents was a clown show, but a team like Peru with their imbecile coach...just wow. Dirty, dirty football that suddenly becomes victim football once they're touched

agreed and eustaquio has looked awful, apoplectic, paralyzed. He's never played this poorly

reality is there are only 5 teams in concacaf/conmebol who are actually trying to play a quality game.
CAN, USA, ARG, BRA, URU

The rest look like a bunch of low class hoodlums. One look at the Peruvian ciach and you knew what you were getting.

agreed. And the PG quotes from the Peruvian coach? lmao. complaining about Canada's shirt pulling.
I also couldn't believe what I was watching last night. Brazil outshoots costa rica 19-2 and had what? 90% possession. Costa Rica played the entire game, 10 guys behind the ball, AND were getting calls all game from the CONCACAF ref. It was nuts to watch

We're seeing the growing pains right now, which is perfectly understandable. This is the first time we're actually trying to win and playing with legit pressure to perform. The program is going to get better at it with some time.
100%

I found Shaffleberg a real bright spot breathing life to the forwards with some energy. Prior to him subbing on it was tedious.
he should be starting vs Chile
