Unnamed Trialist Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 Peru beat us in September 2010 in Toronto, 2-0. I think that is the only time we've faced them with the senior team. Canuckia and narduch 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jhoops__ Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 We have to keep our composure vs these sides. It’s a very chaotic and even hectic style of football. Peru, in particular, continually sprayed the ball around with very low percentage passes. They also panicked under pressure so our press will be key.

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 22 Author Share Posted June 22 There are no Canadian refs at all don't think in this Copa. All South American teams are represented, a few Concacaf, a few nations not at Copa, but no Canadians. Not a good look for Canadian reffing, though I appreciate that having Penso as the sole American ref may also have to do with others being in MLS.

Wouldn't mind getting him Canuckia and Unnamed Trialist 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't mind getting him We'll see in a few days if the Conmebol refs are working for their federation or the integrity of the game. I am not too confident after some little details vs. Argentina. Even if, being from a Bolivarian Republic and reffing an Argentina run by a neo-fascist like Milei, give him credit: all politics were put to the side and he still managed to lend them a bit of a hand.

mpg_29 Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 I wonder what CONNEBOL's thoughts would be on these joint tournaments if a CONCACAF team managed to win this thing. TGAA_Star and Kent 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their thought will be swayed by two things. 1. How much money they make 2. How many eyeballs they get. They want to compete with the Euro and its exposure. The only reason they are doing this is for the money. Kadenge, jhoops__, Admiral Murray and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the things I am looking forward to about this Copa is a chance to judge how CONCACAF and CONMEBOL currently compare, but the tournament is making us wait to really start judging (I already knew Argentina was better than Canada ). In the 2016 Copa held in the US, the US lost 4-0 to Argentina in the semis, and lost 2-0 to Colombia in the group stage, but also had wins vs Costa Rica, Paraguay and Ecuador Costa Rica, coming off their fantastic 2014 world Cup, got eliminated at the group stage (thanks to the loss to the US), despite drawing with Paraguay and beating Colombia (who had already qualified for the knockout stage before their final group stage game vs Costa Rica) Haiti got bombed by Brazil and Ecuador, their only close match, a 1-0 loss to Peru Jamaica lost 3 straight to Venezuela, Mexico and Uruguay failing to score a single goal. Mexico beat Uruguay and Jamaica to qualify for the knockout round and then drew Venezuela in the final group stage game. They then proceeded to lose 7-0(!) in the knockout stage to Chile. I have no memory of that game, so I must have missed it, too bad, I am sure I would have enjoyed it. With two small children back then, I didn't have two free hours to watch anyone other than Canada too often! Maybe I will see if the highlights are on youtube. Finally, Panama managed a win vs Bolivia, before losing their next 2 and conceding 9 goals in the process, 5-0 vs Argentina and 4-2 vs Chile. Chile and Argentina were the class of the tournament, untouched vs the other teams until playing to a shootout in the final. Peru also gave a good account of themselves, defeating Brazil 1-0 in the final group stage to eliminate Brazil and go on the knockouts where they lost in a shootout vs Colombia (who lost 2-0 to Chile in the other semi).

I think the sweet spot is all of the teams being competitive, but none of them winning it all I am not too worried about a CONCACAF team winning it, to be honest. Maybe the US could squeeze through somehow with a bit of luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peru were the better team on the day and the score reflected that, they played a style that frustrated us and they were clinical around goal! We topped off the disappointing result by hitting the Food Building for some Shawarma, the Ex was in full swing!

Mihairokov Posted June 22 Share Posted June 22 Was at a Mexican restaurant with Peru/Chile on so only paid half attention but it looked like a chippy match. Worried it's going to be a lot of going to ground easy from no contact. Our matches against them might be difficult to watch . 5 hours ago, narduch said: Lame that TSN isn't showing Ecuador v Venezuela on any of its channels.

USA probably got the easiest draw. They should be able to take care of Bolivia and Panama and advance. I bet they lose to Uruguay though Edited June 22 by narduch Canuckia, Kadenge and nolando 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
