I thought Johnston had a much better match v USA. Canada has to find the third goal. The USA was hanging around far too long.

I’m not sure if the pitch had something up with it, but it looked like the players were having a difficult time with the ball bouncing. Or just bad first touches…but there were too many examples of the football coming up from a groundpass. That’s foot placement, and I don’t expect that at decent u14 matches never mind repeatedly at this level.

Still, you can only play the team in front of you, so win the match and move on.
