That's very very bad news.  

Good news is Canada has a lot to offer if and when they decide to throw a bit more forward.

Great match, glad Canada has not conceded, and somewhat optimistic as to how it can end?  But certainly entertaining, which is all you can hope for.

P.S.  In the spirit of simply  id'ing players you want to perform better...I would love for Quinn to show more.

PPS.  Her last 45 seconds was atrocious...beat...beat...absent...not good.

I'd liked to hear a canadian capo supporting us with a speaker. And singing our canadian soccer songs with the canadian crowd. That's the type of support that the players like.

Buchanan: Less drill in dangerous areas; Rose: check your shoulders more often; Awujo: tidiness is key; Huitema: Please play as a real 9!

What does les drill mean? I'm guessing it means clear the frickin thing. lol

a very strong pair to put on in such a situation.

[Unnamed Trialist]

Really awful play helped by Germans not finishing. 

Do we even have a 50% passing accuracy? 

It's scoreless only because we love to defend tenaciously.

Edit: agree about the subs. Leon!

even better

 

[lamptern]

Andy Spence’s strategy is simple and plain: Withstanding opponents punches in the first half, sub in our elite strikers for a result at 60’

[eramosat]

momentum might be switching?

PS. nope.

 

PPS.  Ok now, maybe again.  Definitely....plenty of real chances, and we all know strikers need 4/5 chances to put one home

Oh Leon!!!!

[dyslexic nam]

Goddamn we have had chances.  Need to finish better. 

[dyslexic nam]

Jesus…

[eramosat]

Aside to congratulate the 2 fly medal winners.

I'm optimistic about Canada's chances, more so than earlier.

[A.D.I.D.A.S.]

Getting plenty of chances but it's the same old story, can't bury them 😑

[jonovision]

Awujo is taking over the game.

[ahmedou]

Our game isn't made for cardiacs 💔

This is the only way to truly enjoy sports.  Usually...one cannot count on your faves winning again and again and again, without drama

[eramosat]

First German chance in forever.  Soooo close, the glancing header spoiled a great chnace!

[Unnamed Trialist]

The subs have improved the whole team, Awujo is better, Lawrence too, Beckie is better. Especially Leon has electrified our attack, with Viens.

We've dominated for 15 minutes clearly and look strong going into extra periods.....as the Germans just miss one ....but we did too!

[Big_M]

going to extra time
