1st  game against Argentina (who remain the only team to beat us over 90 minutes in this tournament)

Yes. I believe it was Piette, Waterman, Hiebert and McGill who were not used at all. 

[costarg]

Sooo close to VWC, CFM, TFC and Canada all winning the same night.

[gwsmith63]

Hopefully this tournament is the launching pad for consistent success for the Men’s program.
 

Where expectation replaces hope and results replace promise. 

Quite a few lads have cemented their future as major contributors to this team and we may finally be attaining the squad depth that had been questionable in previous cycles.

 

What a glorious month it has been!

 

🇨🇦⚽️🇨🇦

This team has shown so much growth, well done 🥹

[TGAA_Star]

But no one gave us a chance originally to get out of this group by that I mean ESPN FC and Futbol Americas and FOX pundits. Or they thought that if we got out of the group we would lose in the quarter final but we made it to the semi final and finished 4th. Does wonders for our men's program going forward or at the very least gets more eyes on Canadian football ⚽️ in this country.

 

Marsch said that they'll be looking to CPL and MLS for players coming through for 2026 but hopefully we have inspired some dual nationals especially after tonight.

Really impressed with Ali Ahmed he was impressive when he came on against Argentina and tonight against Uruguay. Also I think Chonierre looked really good too . Nice to see that we have options now . 

[Floortom]

If there are any noobs to Canadian soccer, you should thank God you started watching recently instead of 20 years ago.

 

in the last 6 weeks we have played France, Netherlands, Argentina x2, Uruguay, Chile, Peru…I couldn’t have even conceived of this 10 years ago. The fact that on balance we played well and weren’t over our heads is even more ridiculous.

amazing time to be a fan.

[The Ref]

After the 2-1 Canada should have gone in time wasting mode to preserve the advantage.

 

[JAVIERF]

The kid started nervous but grew immensely and disposed the uruguayans playing libero role 

 

He adds some pace you need at the back ,  

You have a pacey center back in Luc De Fougerolles

We already have pace in Bombito (fastest player in MLS).  Cornelius isn't exactly slow either.  But I do agree that LDF has some athleticism and skills to go with it.  Looking forward to see how he grows.

I love how Jesse Marsch talks to media. Very refreshing and pro Canada

[Mattd97]

How are ppl railing against davies tonight?  We shouldn't have played the way we did down the stretch but I don't get why ppl are focusing on him.  Even the pk he hit the underside of the bar, it didn't go in so it's a miss but he's not like he took some weak shot or shanked it

Yeah. Suarez remained in off side with no marks , and the. He levelled 

Ditto this ,  Uruguay was the better side in second half,  but in their best moment Canada got it,  that's football

Yeah time wasting and playing it ,  in the deck

[Mattd97]

Really sucks losing the way we did, but probably deserved to lose a game we should have won after getting results in games 2 and 3 where it's hard to say we outplayed anyone. Sucks. Esp letting Suarez be the hero.

 

But think at the difference vs qatar warm up game

[xabuep2]

Pleasently surprised with Canada. I must admit that with the first Uruguayan goal I feared the worst. I take my hat off, these players from the B team showed determination. And the best thing, that Canada is respected on the continent. Congratulations!

[Mattd97]

I also think it was pretty clear that shaf was dead tired late. He's not exactly a defensive specialist, bringing in staq or piette or someone avs reshaping things probably would've been smart after the goal

[ensco]

Stunned at how right Marsch got the team selection, in retrospect.

He gave us our best chance to win and got some important young guys incredible exposure against an elite team. 

Take a bow, Jesse.

At that point. we had no more change up

My bad, you're right.  Tough. Wouldn't want to bring him out needing a goal when he was so good but would've been useful to be able to later.

Ignore the fuckwit. He's irrelevant. 

[The Beaver 2.0]

I'm not going to say much, other than that I am reenergized for this team, that I am damned proud of all the hard work they put into the last several weeks, and that I feel optimistic with the player pool and with the manager. I wanted us to take some real steps forward, and we took several--I feel--over the past several weeks under Marsch's leadership, and with very little time for preparation. We are fearless, intelligent, and capable of even more, which is incredible.

Players that I am most excited about, coming out of this tournament:

Kone, Cornelius, Ahmed, Shaff, Crepeau

Also excited to see how Mombito grows, if Johnston can move up a league, if Tanni nudges Larin out of the starting lineup, how Millar matures with his next club. And, Tajon. And some new guys we've not even thought of.

 

[sebdeserio]

Sadly was at TFC but watched from the 80th on and I can't feel disappointed, even with the tough ending. This tournament will have done wonders for the program and all these players are now battle tested veterans on a massive stage. Need to carry on the momentum and win a Gold Cup now. Thanks to the lads for making us dream.

Nope, just factually correct. But keep denying the obvious. We’ll always keep falling short in these big moments.

Look we gotta do better at being a soccer family. Everyone is welcome to a different opinion but you gotta respect your brothers. We’re all brothers! 🤗
