Love Shaffelburg.  Just not when he has defensive responsibilities in a tight game.  He should be playing the majority in the other team's half.

Ya he brings a very different skillset to Millar. Both good depending on the situation.

Done!

Canada qualifies for Copa America for the 2nd time!

Yeah, Angus Eve has a lot to be proud of.  I mean, you lost and terribly and your calls for diving were embarrassing for all involved, but definitely, if someone should be proud of losing, it should be you, Angus Eve.  Kudos!

I still don't want Biello to take this team to Copa America. 

Very uninspiring showing.

Use Copa America to attract a decent manager.

I hate to be negative so early in but he way too many concerns, just a net negative so far.

Can't his dad tell us? Haha

I can now…

he had a soft muscle injury in training yesterday but was kept under wraps …was a kick off decision if he was fit to play hence why he’s on the bench .

Oh shit.  That's true.  Honestly forgot that was on the line.

[Watchmen]

I think the lesson from today is that Biello shouldn't be the head coach long term.

[InglewoodJack]

The last 10 minutes were great, the rest not so much. We move on 

[SoccMan]

Biello baby in Biello we trust !

Hey gang, thanks for hanging out, always a pleasure.  Now need to piss like a racehorse.

But before I go: Buchanan wasn't as bad as you thought, Davies wasn't as good, David is the best footballer in the history of the game, and your mom is still hot (and oxford commas rule).

Peace.

Thoughts on the game. Really poor from Canada until the subs were made. Larin with a great finish but it was just dreadful in the final third. Once Trinidad had to stretch the game and eventually Canada took advantage. But they got the result and that's what matters. 

Thought David was probably the best player on the pitch. Crepeau looked good in goal and I didn't worry with him in goal like I normally do with Borjan. Shaffelburg had a big impact as he didn't fuck around and just tried to be direct. Buchanan and Eustaquio's poor play show that moves to big clubs can be a downside if there are stretches where they get so few minutes. Good to see de Fougerolles get his debut as we are desperate for CBs and he is an intriguing prospect. 

Hopefully Canada step up their game against some really good opposition in June. Netherlands and Argentina in subsequent games are two of the best tests Canada have had in decades. But those big tests are desperately needed between now and the World Cup and they are now happening.

Rick Westhead in shambles right now, if he even knows there is a game on....

Sloppy game but some positives. JRR looks like a stud.

Two world cups and a Copa in a 4 year span. Watching canmnt still ages me at least 6 months every 2 hours, but I gotta admit, if you'd asked me 10 or even 5 years ago if I would take a run like that - I most definitely would!

Canada gonna fuck up Messi in June amirite? 🤣

MacNaughton special !

[Bison44]

Terrible result as others have mentioned.  These extra COPA games against Argentina et al will prob bankrupt us and end soccer in canada.  Well it was... nerve wracking and fun while it lasted.

Here you go:

Fuck CSB.  Bus leagues are thr best!  I hate everybody and have everyone on mute but here's a detailed six paragraph rebuttal filled with nonsense and self-persecution.  Also, everyone keeps misquoting me because I ramble and say stupid shit.  I'm not defensive, you're defensive!

[doopy]

Where’s all the boo birds now? … FYI we struggle versus the low block crap teams and we need to sort it out

[jhoops__]

David is our new staring 10 no doubt !!

[Approve My Account Pls]

On the brightside, we probably won't face any low blocks at Copa

On an unrelated note, I sort of want one of those GE Profile washer/dryer things.
