2007 CONCACAF Gold Cup

Canada's D definitely needs to play better if they hope to advance past the US. Guatemala did pressure them after they substituted for Rodrigues, but then Canada got their 2nd goal and did not look back. Nash looks really shaky back there for sure.

Can't wait for this Thursdays game vs the USA! I'm crossing my fingers for a huge upset in Chicago. I've heard this game was going to be shown live, but on the sportsnet site it says it will be tape-delayed to be shown at 8pm PST. Anyone else know anything about this?

But it's Dodgers @ Jays on thursday at the same time.
The Jays have bumped soccer off the schedule for as long as I can remember. Wouldn't be suprised if it happened again here.

as weak as Guatemala was on Saturday, the Canadian offense was more than adept at penetrating their defense, and might see the same success if Bradley tries to roll the US's defensive unit from Saturday again.

They were an embarassment of miscommunications and blown assignments against the Panamanians, even when they were playing a man short. Frankie Hejduk, in particular, didn't seem to do anything well.

This is true too. Both teams are kind of stumbling into this one. I dont however, believe that its going to buy anyone any slack. This should be a pretty killer game. If either of these teams doesnt show up completely on thursday, they're going to get creamed.

If I am not mistaken, when Canada won the Gold Cup back when, they beat the heavily favoured Mexicans in the semifinals.

Not out of the question...I think they can even afford to go down by 1 goal, based on watching the US defend, and opportunitisc strikers on Canada... but obviosuly not going down by 2 than that if they want to have any chance.

IIRC they only made it there because of a coin toss.

very true, and went on to upset both mexico and columbia, both of which were in the top 20 at the time, and T & T on their way to the title.

2-1 odds? Confident are we? Where do you hail from there Sowa?

Its going to be a good one, I'm telling all the kids I coach to watch it after our practice tonight and we'll talk about it at the next practice. I think this one is going to whomever comes out of the gates hardest though.

Go Canada GO!

[troutman]

CAN could win this one. Upsets are possible in soccer, perhaps more than all the other sports. I think there was a recent study about this.

I am in Austin, Texas. I am pretty confident that the US will win and I figured no one would take my bet straight up so I raised the stakes a little. Still no takers?

Alright you're on. I'll put up the $10 CP donation. Go Canada.

match on

[Maserati]

2-0 in USA favour at the half

[Maserati]

Canada was robbed!!!!!!!!!! I'm so pissed here..that was a 100%legal goal no way it was offside..USA got away..this is so unfair...one of the worse calls I've ever seen..If USA wins the final they didnt deserve it at all

[Bill Bumface]

Bullsh*t. Absolute bullsh*t. There is no way a linesman that was selected to work the Gold Cup semifinal should be able to blow that call. Terrible. That was one bad call away from being the most exciting finish to a Canada soccer game I've ever seen.

[flames_fan13]

Horrible call to ruin what could have been a tied game and an exciting ending.
