Also get the 3rd place game if they lose vs a very good team too. Great experience

Canada should be setting up defensively and trying to hit Argentina on the counter. I’d also like to see Davies further up the pitch. He’s one of the best five or ten players in the world, no question. I know he’s a natural left back, but he is capable of playing a more advance role where he can have more influence on the game.

Now this I agree with, although Davies is not a natural lb IMO. He plays lb for a club team where he barely has to defend. We’d look great with a back 3 and giving Davies more freedom to get forward. He’s our only world class player, let him have a go.

Davies is definitely one of the best Left Backs in the world but I would not put him as one of the top 10 players in the world.

Bombito with a crazy challenge on Alvarez right at the start of the half. How has he not been sent off? He’s a danger to the other players. Marsch should be sent off, too.

[Matty81]

Marsch was right the ball wasn't out

[MegaErtz]

Onside by about five yards. If they keep this up, it is going to be 5-0.

[Bagor]

That's that.

[Beninho]

Tough break, Kone cleared it to the worst spot. Lots of positives for Canada in the tournament but striker pairing and defence pairing need to be much improved. I didn’t mind Larins hold up play this game but David and him just are not very functional at this level. They just do not work well off eachother

[Matty81]

We just don't have the same quality at CB as the rest of the side. Kone set that goal up but Cornelius was so far out of position. Great showing overall still. Hopefully can claw a goal back

[Matty81]

Nothing worse than glory hound bandwagon fans... and there are a lot of them out tonight

[MegaErtz]

I’ve never understood the hype about Jonathan David. I don’t watch French football, but this guy never looks like scoring when he plays for Canada.

[SuperMatt18]

I swear David and Larin might have negative chemistry with one another.

Authentic Jersey shore sand?

At this point throw Davies as striker

[chedder]

Oscar worthy dive. The Canadian didn't even touch him. And got a yellow to boot

[Matty81]

Purposeful foul but barely touched and lands the triple barrel roll and 5 minutes of time wasting. Enzo piling in to cause some drama and distract everybody from the fact he's the biggest waste of money in transfer history

[bluejays]

The special spray does wonders. Cures all injuries.

Should have been a red, made no attempt to play the ball and tried to injure the Argentinian on the break. Very cynical.

[MegaErtz]

How did Marsch leave Davies on the pitch? The match is lost. I’m sure Bayern Munich are happy about this.

They probably don’t care as he is leaving on a free transfer next year
