Of course you never know. Yes Argentina might start slow, yes Argentina might not care because they're World Champs and won the Copa recently, there could be a lethargy element.

But the most likely outcome? The most likely outcome is that Canada comes away getting their teeth kicked in.

Aaaand theres Messi in the starting XI.

This is more than likely shaping up to be an unpleasant evening.

So what’s a “good” outcome for Canada here? Score a goal, keep it within how many?

Anything less than a 3-0 defeat will be a respectable result for Canada

Argentina just keep trying through balls. I am not even sure if Canada is playing he offside trap or they just can't keep the line...

Matter of time before Canada get caught trying to play the offside trap. This scoreline could get ugly.

I don't think Canada is playing the offside trap. They just can't keep up with the Argentine forwards...

Canada’s naivety is showing a bit here. Not used to the speed of play at this level and trying to go toe to toe and make it a back and forth game. Take a breath, slow it down. Connect a few passes

I love that we're showing Argentina no respect and just playing with our balls out. Maybe we lose big but who cares
