The Canadian Men's Soccer Team Thread

Canada looked better against Belgium, Morocco and Croatia.

I love Borjan, but he's no where near good enough

[MegaErtz]

How can Kennedy stay on the pitch for the second half? He almost scored an own goal under almost no pressure.

[agulati]

Wow Kennedy

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Good lord Borjan, hanging out in no man’s land

Gold Cup should be St Clair season

[agulati]

We need to get a few more players eligible for two countries to choose Canada to truely improve. Home grown talent will take a generation at least tbh.

Daniel Jebbison was born in Ontario and moved to England at 14. He could play, although after watching our performance in the World Cup and again tonight, I can see why he may not want anything to do with Canada.

Tomori picking England and then getting screwed by Gareth really hurt us.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Looks like a back four. Miller and Kennedy have flopped and Laryea is on the left with Davies

[shermanator]

Don't know how you don't make changes after that half.

Do they really have anyone worth bringing on?

Maybe Buchannon but he is pretty meh. Hoillet sucks, Cavalini sucks. Adebugke should have started but not sure he is what we need to change this game at this point.

I don’t think he got screwed, he just wasn’t good enough. He’s about to get replaced at AC Milan by the fourth choice centre back from Norwich.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Herdman changed literally everything but the players on the field. That’s him saying he got the tactics wrong

[Trojan97]

Watching Kennedy make pass after pass to no mans land and then watching him try and correct his teammate for what he wanted them to do is just laughable.

He is better than any non-John Stones CB England has. Eric Dier gets called up and he us worse than a U6 Calgary defender. He definitely got screwed.

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Larin needs to win a header and help out the defence there. Cmon guys. This is shambolic. Our set piece defending is atrocious

Kennedy with the save of the game

[shermanator]

Big saves this match:

Kennedy - 1
Borjan - 0

[M*A*S*H 4077]

The thing is we NEED Kennedy (or a defender like him) to pan out because we have zero height.

I’d bring on Hoilett for Oso. Someone who can bring a bit more of a calm and creative presence on the ball in midfield

[Spurs]

Kennedy is a better keeper than CB.

Canada looks pretty poor. I think its pretty dumb to be calling out the whole program after qualifying for this final and the world cup recently. Not that jebbison is a need anyway. We need defenders. Forward is ok.

Also agree that Herdman did a bad job tonight tactically. Vittoria must be hurt, Johnston isn't 100% and zator doesn't have enough international experience to throw in in a continental final. Should have played a back 4 with us being that thin back there


All that said and acknowledging canada deserves to lose. First goal was brutal... Johnston got shoved in the back preventing him from jumping.
