Good lord is this really our LB depth?

Adekugbe when healthy too. Plus Ali Ahmed can slot there

[TGAA_Star]

Maxime Crepeau Man of the Match and it isn't even close

[bwilly11]

Huge step forward for the program

[InglewoodJack]

Crepeau MOTM per futmob. 
 

“Max Crepeau kept a clean sheet against France in France” is a thing you’re allowed to say now. 

[Ally McCoist]

Low key we could've easily.won this. Had David handed off the ball to Eustaquio on that one chance we would've been up.  

Either way, what a pleasant surprise of a performance.

His saves were remarkable

I actually thought Hiebert looked alright. Made a few tackles. Not who I want out there but he was fine

I feel like we’re gonna get smoked. Like 6-0. I felt we could hang around with the Dutch and give them a game but ultimately lose. This I feel like we’ll be down 2-3 goals after 20 minutes  

Right?!

[toontownman]

Great show lads. Francs were pretty passive but we played very well. 

Cornelius again was mammoth. Kone looked great. Crepeau excellent. Bombito looked sharp. Davies was good. Killer instinct upfront lacking but really hard to talk anyone down today.

Great morale boosting performance.

Captain Staq was MOTM

Nice to see a cap for Tani. Not sure if he touched the ball lol. Poor Theo Bair. What does he do in training lol

I agree David should have passed that ball

Osorio almost cost them that game twice. Two times he was fed the ball and was too slow to get it. Counter attack both times in the last five minutes. I was watching the second time and was dreading the pass to him. 

Absolutely atrocious performance. I’ll say it again, the guy is a liability and needs to be phased out immediately.

[Watchmen]

Setting aside the result, I'm sure there's a lot Marsch would still like to improve upon. But, he can also point to the result as "proof of concept" for the players that what he's trying to do will work.

[Cowtown Kyle]

Great overall match, and what a confidence booster going into COPA.

Kone and Eustaquio, what a great combo in the midfield to build off.

Net is Crepeau’s.

Larin needs to get in better shape. Would’ve been nice to see Ugbo.

Lots to love here guys!

The fact that we can say our centrebacks were almost totally solid, gives me more hope than almost everything else.

People only see negatives where they want to.  Osorio was fine as a sub.  Bailed out Hiebert huge on a giveaway.

What type of crack are you smoking?

[phil03]

I'll have more coherent thoughts later but right now I am legit crying. This is the kind of results I have daydreaming about Canada getting since I started playing the game at four years old! Such a wonderful day!

Didn't notice Bombito all match which I consider a good thing. 

[Ozzie_the_parrot]

Games like this always remind me of the Nottingham Forest fan telling us earnestly that Hull City would be a good test of whether Richie Laryea could hold his own in the English second tier.

Think Crepeau has nailed down the starting keeper role in a Milan Borjan sort of way.

Potentially unpopular opinion but should Jonathan David always be an automatic selection? I see mediocre performance after mediocre performance relative to what his stature is supposed to be in the game.

[canadasoccer20]

One of my favourite 0-0 matches I've seen lol.

3 guys who stood out for me were Kone, Crepeau and Tajon.

I am grateful for all that Larin has done for the national team, but seems like his form for club is wearing off right now. Wish they played Ugbo this match to see how he links with David.

What did Osorio do to you? This is some weird level hatred, I didn’t love his play today either but it’s all good my man

[maccaliam]

Hearing that we had 51% possession vs France in the 81st minute made me smile. I don’t even care if the stat is made up. What a time to be alive.

Crepeau as MOTM has to be a given getting a clean sheet in France and making some great saves, there were so many other outstanding performances as well, this is encouraging!
