I thought they actually played really well considering all factors.
The reffing, as expected, was atrocious.
The field, was atrocious.
Lars' red card was the turning point from Canadian domination, IMO. Besides a bit of a flurry to start the second half, Canada had full control of the match until he was sent off. Two really close calls from DeRosario that would have put the game away.
Good result, I think they knew it was going to be ugly, and the game plan was get 3 points and GTFO. Mission accomplished. Shame about all the yellows now being carried.
