The Canadian Men's Soccer Team Thread

[M*A*S*H 4077]

Alfie Jones did his citizenship ceremony yesterday and will start tonight

Feels like a Covid game in an empty stadium.
It would surprise me to see many future friendlies such as this televised live.

Sloppy game but Canada up 1-0 at half. David and Oluwaseyi look miles off it tonight. Would like to see Promise David get in at half to give him an extended run out.

Jones looks solid at CB.

Not really much to note otherwise.

This game is unwatchable. Canada are poor and Venezuela won’t stay on their feet.

[shermanator]

Venezuela down to 10 men after Martinez backhands Laryea.

Canada then down to 10 men on a "high boot" from Kone that didn't even touch the opponent. Pure even up call.

[browna]

10 v 10 now. Again useless for tactics.
No VAR so the ref is running blind.
Poor from Canada. Venezuela a shell of the team they were at CA.

Hadn’t paid attention to David because he had such a good start at Juventus, but him scoreless in 17 games and apparently not getting minutes in a very fussy Serie A is likely confidence zapping, concerning overall going into 6 months away from the WC .

It also should be another red flag, as Kone and others have discovered, to not get caught up in the Italian hype because those clubs and their supporters set unrealistic expectations and then will turn on you quicker than most leagues.

The other David scores though, though it was offside and no Var to pull it back.

[shermanator]

Promise David scores again. Marsch doesn't seem to rate him but he just seems to find the back of the net at a far better clip then Oluwaseyi or Larin right now.

Shout out to former Cavalry man Waterman. He's had a great game tonight in relief of Cornelius.
