I had a huge emotional outpouring after Kone scored the winning penalty, and now I just feel zen. Anything we get from here on out is 100% bonus. Probably not a winning mentality but here we are. I will still be disappointed and upset if Canada loses by more than 2 without scoring themselves, but it is possible (and likely) for Canada to produce a performance we can be proud of without getting a result. As for the mentality, it's fine for fans like us to have, but I have no doubt the players will be thinking differently.

Exactly the same mindset for me. I know I will be twitchy as hell come game time but we are in the bonus rounds at this point. I really considered the Venezuela game the big one in terms of showing we belonged. Now playing the defending world champions in the semi finals really isn’t something I am investing a ton of mental health into (insofar as a loss won’t be crushing since it is such a high probability outcome).

Same here. I want to see a more complete performance today than we saw the first time we played them. That's all. What does that look like? Keep our shape--bend, don't break--for the full match. Cut down our needless giveaways by 80%, at least. Create as many chances as we did last game. Bonus points if we convert one of those. Beyond that, I know we'll see a gutsy, gritty, and determined effort from the lads. Argentina plays physically, but not nearly as physically as we saw from Peru and Chile. I think this is to our advantage. Canuckia, dyslexic nam and gator 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BearcatSA Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 If we are a tough "out," there is always a chance of a good thing happening. The Yank media doesn't want us to win and that is good fuel for us. This match has vibes of ABC's Jim McKay calling the Cosmos-Caps game and then the subsequent 1979 Soccer Bowl vs the Rowdies but worse was his colour guy, Paul Gardner, who hated the Caps then and 21 years later hated our Gold Cup victory in a really negative write up he did in World Soccer magazine. Neither semi is on legacy Fox tv, just FS1: was it orginally scheduled to be on the former and then changed when "U-S-A!" got bounced at the group stage and unfancied/unwanted us got through?

Vasi Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Our run at Copa reminds me of Morocco's WC run. Just before the tournament they got a new coach, slowly gelled and magic ensued. I hope our magic continues.

A.D.I.D.A.S. Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 Watching the Spain-France match right now, 16 year old Lamine Yamal scores a beauty of a goal from outside the box for Spain. One thing I would love to see from our boys tonight is occasionally testing Emi Martinez with shots from distance if they get a chance. Never know what could happen with a well placed shot on target; could surprise Martinez with a goal, could ding it off the post/crossbar and in, it could rebound back into the box for Larin/JD/Shaffelburg to pounce on, a clear Argentinian handball in the box, a corner kick for us...... The difference tonight could very well come down to just lifting your head up and ripping one at goal. cornerkick, jhoops__, Sal333 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beachesl Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 (edited) An Argentine friend of mine from Mendoza in NY to see the match just sent me this photo of a small group of obvious Voyageurs drinking in what appears to me to be a small bar in a shopping plaza now. Any ID's of our reps? I like the black hockey helmet the younger guy is wearing!
