dyslexic nam Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I will say it again - this was never going to be easy. I will absolutely take a draw against a 10-man Chilean team that was going to play hard as hell and get lots of calls from the ref throughout the second half. 74 Whitecap, Miche, sstackho and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shway Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 We're through... hooray. But we are playing so shit.

phil03 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 (edited) Honestly, I just can't enjoy that we are going through with how dirty Chile has been played and how seemingly determined the ref was to help. I was happy that we were going to copa, obviously, but right now? The only redeeming quality of this tournament is that we are doing well in it. Playing in is a necessary evil due to how much of a joke the Gold Cup is due to the two years thing but if we could reform it, play once every four years and everyone would bring their A squads to it? I'd take that over suffering that bullshit from Conmebol's refs and getting disrespected by their fans and pundits in a heartbeat. And after that they wonder why the Euros are way more popular and they blame the pitch! Edited June 30 by phil03 narduch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
74 Whitecap Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I don't get to say this too often, but that was a really smart game played by Canada. Both tactically to avoid getting caught out of position defensively at all, and individually, a lot of smart plays, keeping arms tucked in the box, not fouling on the box, avoiding the red card equalizer, winning a million headers in the 2nd half, Staq chesting to Max and many more. It wasn't pretty, but it was smart. Canuckia, Mattd97, costarg and 7 others 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Beaver 2.0 Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Incredible result. Congratulations to Marsch and the boys. Super proud! Took another important step forward tonight. Lots still to learn. We needed that goal, and a bit more composure with the ball, but a mostly decent half. We gave Chile very little by way of looks at goal, and that is huge. But I wanted that goal!

TGAA_Star Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 I admit I was going off and I was angry mostly because I just wanted to go for the win to secure our knockout berth but we secure it anyway with a draw but now we just wait on whoever wins Venezuela's group!!! If Venezuela wins that group, I hope we get Venezuela in the quarters 74 Whitecap and longlugan 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eramosat Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 3 minutes ago, Free kick said: Dont look now but Venezuela is actually beatable. and weaker than Peru and Chile But will they agree to playing with 10 men? Make no mistake...Canada has completely stumbled into this tournament advancement, they didn't seize it. That happens sometimes, and better teams take advantage. Still waiting for Canada to show their quality. But it is fantastic they have advanced too! Like, nutty. Just don't buy into any narrative that whomever they face have a strong team to face. rkomar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Floortom Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Happy to make it to the quarters - we’ll have a pretty favourable match up too and won’t have to face a giant. Can’t wait. Not sure what to say about that match though. I mean obviously all the platitudes are right - “did what we needed to do”, “tough and experienced Chile” side, but I’m surprised at how poor offensively we have been. One goal in 5 games under Marsch - including two games against old tier 3 squads playing a man down almost the entire game. Other than the occasional frenetic transition opportunity, we’ve really showed no ability to generate good goal scoring opportunities. On the flip side, it’s great to see Crepeau and Cornelius flourish under Marsch - two guys that I always thought were quite underrated in our program.

Miche Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 Staq motm for me, super controlled in the middle even when chaotic, and some great stuff in our own box. However, Bombito and Corneilius absolutely dominated on Chile's endless long all attempts. mowe, 74 Whitecap, Strait Red and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyslexic nam Posted June 30 Share Posted June 30 So Venezuela have a really good chance of being our next round opponent and they are only +2 after 2 games. Of all the top seed opponents we could face in the quarters, I will take it. We could very realistically find a way through them into the semis. Before the tournament, if someone offered us the chance to play Venezuela for a spot in the semis, I think we would have bitten their hand off. LFG!
