In Canada's 1st leg vs Suriname, Canada dominated, despite the score. Canada should have won by at least 3-0, with a little luck. Suriname did not get even 1 shot on target in the whole game. The victory was never in doubt. There is always a lot of talk about Jesse Marsch's whole offensive 'Press' strategy; but Canada's team defence has been totally underestimated, or underappreciated. Since Canada played France, they have had 6 clean sheets in 12 matches! With the exception of the two 2-0 matches vs Argentina, Canada only allowed more than 1 goal once, in the other 10 matches & that was vs Uruguay & that was because of a last minute goal by Uruguay & it was mostly against Canada's B team.. Nobody in Concacaf has even come close to Canada defensively, since Marsch has arrived. Pretty impressive!
Canada is the best CONCACAF team in my opinion they are much better than everyone else. I agree also so much better defensively now with Marsh he's done an incredible job so far. We need to win this cup. Thanks for watching if you can please like and subscribe!
Also, it amazes me that Canada (& all other CONCACAF teams) has gotten so used to playing in the U.S. in all tournaments, that nobody, not even Canadians, acknowledge or think about the fact that the U.S. have a huge advantage before the matches in March are even close to being played & NO, it is not an excuse, as it is a ridiculous reality. The biggest problem with the Nations League & Gold cups, is that it all favours the Americans, big time! Over 95% of their matches are played at home. Canada probably plays less than 15% at home. The Copa Americas matches were all played in the U.S. this year & the playoffs in the 2026 World cup will be played there too. When ranking teams, nobody talks about that huge advantage. The Americans do not play well on the road. Just look at the 2022 CONCACAF Qualifiers for the World cup, where teams played each of the other teams home & away. Canada finished #1. The U.S. tied Costa Rica for 4th place in points. Look at what just happened in these quarter finals in the Nations League cup in the past week. The 4 favourite teams (Canada, USA, Mexico & Panama) all played much better at home than they did on the road; but still, the semifinals & finals will be played in the USA. Canada has the best record in the semifinals & overall this year, so the semifinals should be played in Canada (Vancouver for better weather)... FIFA & CONCACAF are only driven by greed & Money. Then, if it has to remain fixed in the U.S.' favour, at the very least, there should really be some kind of a handicap for rankings, for teams playing on the road in all CONCACAF tournaments, because rankings matter, as FIFA rankings help determine how difficult a group those countries will finally end up in, for the 2026 World cup. Canada ended up in the 'Group of Death' in the 2022 World cup, partially because of their poor ranking, despite having finished #1 in the Qualifiers
YES I 100% agree with you, its getting ridiculous that USA host almost 95% of all tournaments and games in CONCACAF. You would never see this in any other federation only in CONCACAF. USA when they play on the road struggle massively and this favors them because 95% of the time they are almost always at home. CONCACAF needs to change this asap. I can't even remember the last time a Gold Cup was hosted outside of the USA
Did people predict Panama to beat Costa Rica away? or did people predict Mexico would get destroyed by Honduras in Honduras? Both of these no one really predicted. 7-1 is incredible to predict. Thanks for the comment!
ME? I always respect Panama highly for me they are incredible. I'm a Canadian national team fan btw not USMNT. Thanks for watching if you can like and subscribe!

You serious? “Don’t sleep on my picks….” Congrats on picking all the easy favourites 😂😂😂😂

You better take Panama seriously this time, or they'll send you home again.
