Canada won the last World Cup qualifying group in CONCACAF and they're still getting talked about like a complete minnow, which is more than a bit unfair. By comparison, Venezuela's recent success is extremely recent, yet they're being talked about like an established dynasty. Venezuela are in better form, there is no question, and Canada have been fortunate with a hot goalie making up for a big time goalscoring slump. But statistically, Venezuela are far outperforming versus their xG, and Canada are far underperforming versus theirs. Venezuela's group also lacked a giant like Argentina, so their stats are going to be better by comparsion. If these two teams play up to their potential, it should be considered a fairly equal fixture that could go either way. I do think Venezuela have an edge based on form, but the idea that Canada has no chance is just a bad take. I think the world is still behind the times in their views of Canada - although they remain somewhat naive and lacking in depth, they have been a legitimately strong team for at least 5 years now. A few goals would sure go a long way, and it does feel like they're overdue.
Winning a group in the Concacaf is nothing to brag about, Concacaf is weak af. Venezuela is #4 in the wc qualifiers rn in a confederation full of big dogs. Canadá did beat Perú and Chile but guess what? Venezuela beat those teams last year in Conmebol as well. Venezuela is wanked #54 in the world ranking and Canadá is ranked #48. With all that being said I think is gonna be a close game.
@yeahboy9585 You just disrespected Honduras, Costa Rica, Mexico, Panama, USA, Jamaica and more. Venezuela would still have a hard time qualifying for WC out of concacacaf. Should be close one.
You forgot to mention how bad Canada embarrassed themselves at the WC and couldn't score more than a goal in their group with Chile being down to 10 men with an entire game left, mind you Chile looked much better when it was 11 players on the field. I would bet my house on Venezuela and I'm Canadian.
@@RyanSheppard-tq4pg If you weren't bias you would admit how ridiculously embarrassing TSN is when they discuss how good Canada is, if I was born yesterday I would think Canada just won the world cup. The commentator the other day even said their 0-0 draw against a Chile team with 10 men put the entire world on notice. Canada was never winning that game against Chile without that red card, they should be happy they were put in a group with one of the worst Peruvian sides we've ever seen, as much as it would be nice to see Canada reach the Semi final, Venezuela will take care of business.
I’m supporting my bros to the north! They’ve been doing really good the past few games, and to challenge the likes of France and Netherlands(yes they lost the game but still) takes something
Canada will win. Defence wins games and Canada has been playing good defence. It’s not like Canada has not been creating scoring opportunities, they have just that the finishing has been poor! I think Canada is ready for goals breakout and if they score first, will be tough for Venezuela to beat. Though, Venezuela has to be considered the favourite due to exceptional group play.
VENEZUELAN HERE, Canada is NOT an easy team, underestimating Canada is a huge mistake, 12 players in big EUROPEAN leagues meanwhile Venezuela only have a few compared to them.
they talking like Canada was even an underdog... they are ranked higher than venezuela in fifa rankings.... and they showed why with a dominating performance where they could have easily beat them 4-1 and having a paid ref on venezuela side.
Canada needs to go for it here, don't be passive. Crepeau has been fantastic in goal, trust him. Like the commentator said, they're playing with house money. GO CANADA!
Are you dumb? If they go for it they’re cooked. If marsch has any brain cells he’ll play defensive style. Not to diss on half my family here but struggling that much against the shittiest Peru team in years is wild. Peru would have won if it weren’t for the red, and probably the same as Chile. Not to mention that Venezuela absolutely danced around Chile not too long ago. If they decide to go for it like you’re saying, Soteldos gonna absolutely cook that defense
What more does Canada have to do to get respect from the rest of the region? Finished top on Concacaf qualifying while going unbeaten in the 4 games vs U.S. and Mexico, put up some notable performances in a World Cup group with the then number 1 ranked team and two of the four eventual semifinalists (btw Venezuela has never even been to a World Cup), drew with one of the euro favourites in France, gave a good showing against the world champions, and got the required results to get out of a very tough group in our very first Copa, with a coach who has been on the job for less than two months… these guys are talking “does Canada have a chance”??? Against a team ranked BELOW US in the FIFA rankings???
@@AbrahanJR8507 Canada🇨🇦!!!!!!!! It was a good game, great goal from Rondon but big mistake from Crepeau, hopefully you see that Concacaf aren’t all bad
I've been following the Venezuelan National Team for more than 40 years and it's the first time we're favorites against any team in a Copa America. We have to be very humble vs Canada.
Better than not being able to stop the other team from scoring, which was Canada's problem before now. With the talent they have up front, the goals should come.
The difference between the two squads it's that 🍁 has a world class and an elite player. Taking this under consideration, i think that 🍁 will prevail in this close match up...
Ecuador was dominating Venezuela before the Red... Jamaica is a joke and we all know Where Mexico is right now... Venezuela was in far and away the easiest group. That's not to say they won't beat Canada, but these 2 teams are much much closer than people think... What Venezuela have is, imo, probably the best manager in this tournament at the helm... That guy has worked wonders and Venezuela are ALWAYS better after halftime adjustments... Davies will be the best player on the pitch and David is getting better every match he plays. Again, Venezuela certainly can win this match and in terms of form are playing better than almost anyone in the tourney but they're not a dominant side. They commit poor fouls and turnovers at bad times that Canada could capitalize on in transition with their speed...
Not sure if you've been watching Canada or not but Davis has looked like an imposter all tournament, he couldn't even muster a competent counter attack with Chile being down to 10men for 3/4 of the game. Anyone who's non bias will tell you he was in that right backs pocket and I don't even know his name. Venezuela has the right manager to get them into the semi finals, this is a south American tournament, give me Venezuela
@@user-ok3vy9br3d Davies was VERY dangerous against Argentina and was one of the best players on the field in that game. Didn't see the Chile game but they still made it through. Davies does carry a HUGE load for Canada as they are far from deep. To blame a defender for not "mustering a counter attack" is a bit odd imo...
@@luisfraga4759 Yea and for that 15 minutes Ecuador was CLEARLY the better team. My wife is Venezuelan therefore I've watched each game. They play VERY hard and now have a ton of confidence. I would certainly give the edge to Venezuela but to act like Canada stands no chance here is a bit ridiculous. Venezuela give up very bad turnovers and commit unnecessary fouls at times. Canada could take advantage...
So Venezuela doesn’t have players that have been balling huh? Rondon has won man of the match the last 3 games. Romo has back to back clean sheets and made several huge saves against Ecuador. Aramburo has been arguably one of the best RB in the tournament. Their best players like Soteldo and Yangel Herrera have yet to show up too. Also Ecuador & Mexico are tougher matchups than Chile and Peru. Venezuela is used to playing Argentina too so it’s not like Canada has an edge there cus they played and lost to Argentina.
Canada qualified for the previous World Cup and in doing so beat Mexico and gave the US a good game as well. This is a solid team when firing on all cylinders. Marsch has got the best out of this group. Hopefully he can do the same vs Venezuela.
Canada is getting some respect which is so deserved. They have played the two World Cup final teams (France/Argentina). They played friendlies against Netherlands and France. Those invites wouldn't happen or they'd play their third string team against Canada. Not this time. France was planning to give Mbappe a break but it became clear they needed him against Canada. France dominated but Canada held them. That's respect. Yes, Canada got some luck with those red cards but I honestly believe that the result would have been the same. Venezuela won't be surprised by Canada and neither should we.
@@danm2756 Venezuela are of fire this time around and givin the lack of experience that canada has plus they didn't really prove anything from the groupe stage in the end they were playing againts 10 men chilie and peru and they struggled so canada is the underdog
@@mouna5252elleVenezuela super unimpressive against Mexico. Mexico were the better team against Venezuela. Yeah I get Venezuela won but Canada is so much more better than Mexico
@mouna5252elle just shows yall have zero ball knowledge. If Canada could finish even half of their opportunities, it would have been a blow out. Canada dominated and came out with the win.
If Venezuela plays disciplined soccer that won’t be a problem. But who knows, they may get lucky like Peru did when they blatantly head butted the Canadian player and got away with it.
@@boxbury or when the Canadian player fouled the Peruvian player the same way the other Peruvian player got a straight card and didn’t get a single card. 👍🏽 and Canada still only manage to score one goal playing not one but two games against team playing with 10 players 😂. Yeah Canada is really a good futbol team. 😒
If you watched the tournament you would know Buchanan been playing poor. He is one of their best players yes but has he been influencing their results? No
Tajon has been on the bench a lot he’s hasn’t been doing amazing yeah you’d rather have tajon than not have him but hes not the reason they win or lose
Canadá tiene un estilo de juego que incomoda mucho a Venezuela, que es el juego por banda. México lo hizo en la 2da fecha de CA, Brasil en eliminatorias y Ecuador en CA nos hicieron gol de pelota parada (corner y tiro libre), Perú nos hizo gol a partir de un centro en eliminatorias. El 4-3-3 (4-1-4-1 en retroceso) es el que debería plantearse ante Canadá. Tenemos un plantel muy profundo, sobretodo en el sector derecho del campo para parar a Alphonso Davies en caso de que juegue de extremo
You are right. Canada’s play catches many teams off guard. Like Belgium Croatia and France. It’s seems very defensive. But then BAAM they are off and running like wild horses on the transition. They beat the USA and Mexico in qualifying this same way. Gave Belgium nightmares. Croatia went down 1-0 early because of it (but dominated after). And they had very little possession.
@@rogerc23 yep. That’s exactly how the goal against Peru happens. Peru seemed to be attacking more and then: BAM, two or three passes happen and David was already in the area to score. Hope we can see a lot of action tomorrow 🇻🇪🤝🇨🇦
@@miguelmaza8965 true. I have a hard time knowing how this game will play out. But the first 15 minutes will be critical. Peace bro and let’s hope for an exciting one :-)
Canada has a chance, but Venezuela is the CLEAR favorite for this tie. It's VERY probable Venezuela will come out on top, although it for sure will be a hard-fought battle.
Wake Up call for who? The US Soccer Federation the same men that brought him back after holding the job for him after a year. Maybe but I'll believe that when I see it.
Sorry bud but Canada is leaving this tournament with 1 goal in 4 games. Get back to me when Venezuela win or apologize for this absurd comment in advance.
@@user-ok3vy9br3d You ran your mouth in a lot of threads. You going to apologize for your ignorance in each of them, or are you too busy eating that humble pie? Also, do you guys still need to pay the ref even if you lost, or was that a "help us win and you get paid" kind of deal? Because that was some of the most biased officiating I've seen in a while, and that's saying something since I watch the Premier League!
O guess he wanted to say that Canada repreaents the North America let us not forget America is a Continent and South America it os America 26 Countris im America not 3.
Continents aren't a globally defined geography. Different regions teach different groupings. North Americans are taught that Canada, USA, and Mexico make up the continent of North America. I think in Costa Rica, they're taught that Central America is it's own continent.
Frankly any team from South America is way better than the North....no matter is brazil, argentina, uruguay...they are at the top level while the other will never be...
You say any team from South America, then only list the top 3 teams. What about Peru? Chile? Bolivia? Paraguay? All those South American teams finished below CONCACAF teams in their group stage. Obviously CONMEBOL is stronger than CONCACAF, the top end is stronger than CONCACAF's top end, and CONMEBOL's bottom teams are MUCH stronger than CONCACAF's bottom teams, but let's keep things realistic.
Canada will beat Venezuela 1-0 Then face Argentina, get their revenge, teach the Argies how to play football properly And the end pull off an upset in the final and win the Copa America in a shootout
All these Canada post as if Canada has been a powerhouse. Their new coach has only been in charge for like 6 weeks. They have only 1 win to a 10 sided Peru and 1 goal in 3 games. Now these Canadian fans want to act like Venezuela is below them. While it has been a process for Venezuela who is 4th in Comebol WC qualifiers. Not to mention their manager has been masterclass during his stint with them. It’s futbol and anything can happen but as I tell Venezuelan fans to stay grounded Canada fans need to stay grounded too!
Venezuela IS below Canada. It's utterly shocking how dumb a lot of the takes in these comments are. Venezuela have been getting good results recently, and Canada have been playing poorly. They played extremely well against Argentina, but then allowed the shamefully dirty play of Peru & Chile to knock them off their game. FYI, it's tough to break down 10 men who are defending all game, especially when the referee let's them get away with murder. But go back a bit further and you'll see that Canada is definitely deserving of their higher FIFA rankings. Canada drew 0-0 with France in a pre-tournament friendly. Venezuela drew 0-0 with Guatemala. Guatemala are a TERRIBLE team. Yes, Canada had bad results at the WC, but they had amazing performances. They absolutely dominated Belgium for 90 minutes that it's honestly unbelievable that they lost that game. I think losing that game drained them mentally. Against Morocco, they were completely switched off for the first 30 minutes. After going down 2-0 though, they were BY FAR the better team. In WC qualifying, they took 4 points each off both Mexico and the USA. I mentioned the embarrassingly biased refereeing at this Copa America. Well, even with this cheating scumbag ref deep in your pockets, you still deservedly lost to the better team today.
@@mariat.p.v.3327 LMAO STOP IT!!! That was the biggest win in Canadian soccer history 😂. Take your win and keep it pushing. Argentina will bust that ass!!! 💯
Not having an in-form Tajon would hurt Canada. His defence vs. Argentina was strong, but he wasn't in top form offensively where he could really change a game.
He has been pretty brutal recently to the point where he was taken out of the starting lineup. I think this may be a great opportunity for others to step up in Tajon's place that he already lost.
It’s impossible to compete with Canada’s offensive outburst. The Canucks managed to score a mind-boggling total of 1 goal in 3 matches. You can’t possibly stop them. You can only hope to contain them.
Not sure how much you've watched of this tournament, but almost everybody is struggling to score. Two goals is a big outburst. Yes, Canada has been struggling with their finish, but they are also due to score some goals. Of course, they will happily take a penalty shootout victory after both teams fail to score. 😂
@@Statsy10 Here are the goals scored by all 8 teams who made it to the quarterfinals: 1. Uruguay 9 goals 2. Colombia 6 goals 3. Panamá 6 goals 4. Venezuela 6 goals 5. Argentina 5 goals 6. Brazil 5 goals 7. Ecuador 4 goals 8. Canada 1 goal Mmm... I don't know about that "everybody is struggling to score" theory of yours. It seems like one 1 team on that list had those struggles.
@@AlfredoEClark So only 4 of the 16 teams are even scoring 2 per game? Obviously, Canada is scoring the least of the remaining teams, but then again we have shutout 3 of our last 4 opponents, so we can easily win a low scoring game.
@@AlfredoEClark Those teams went scoreless partially because we shut them out. Also one of those teams was second ranked in the world France, just before the tournament.
South Africa didn't get out of group stage in 2010 but I will never forget "goal bafana bafana! Goal for South Africa, goal for all Africa." And they beat France
@@benmanutd2bafana bafana id say is better right now than they were in 2010! I think they qualify out of their group directly and then get out of their group in the World Cup! Hugo Broos is a really good coach too!
when did advancing to the Copa America semi finals become a requirement for hosting? It must be more recent than the last time a South American team hosted the World Cup, since Brazil hosted in 2014 and lost in the quarter finals in the previous Copa America (2011). And that was a 12 team tournament instead of 16 like this time.
I mean I never expected Canada to even make it out of a group consisting of Argentina, Chile, and Peru so that alone is already impressive. If they manage to beat Venezuela and make it to the semi finals (while also having a chance to play in the thrid place match) then Crepeau should be in the conversation of Golden glove for Copa. It's kind of wild that Canada is doing better than Mexico and the US, I never thought that we would ever be in this position. Regardless of what happens I still think that Canada, US, and Mexico should still host, we've had way less deserving (and more controversial) hosts like Qatar, a country where corruption is rampant and the stadiums were built off the backs of dead slaves.
Canada doesn't has a chance against this Venezuela team.They barely got pass T&T.And they scrape through to reach the quartefinals.Cuz 1 goal in 3 games is awful.
Canada was the top team in CONCACAF in qualifying. Jesse Marsch has only had this team for 5 games so far. To say that they simply have 1 goal and are awful is ignoring the fact that once you get to the knockout round, anything can happen. Canada is definitely not terrible in terms of the quality players they have in David and Davies and Venezuela, although they've been playing well, is not an insurmountable force in CONMEBOL. Peru is ranked 31st and Venezuela is ranked 54th, and Canada beat Peru.
@@imaratspal if you want to get deeper into facts Venezuela is #4 in WC qualifiers. Canada beat Peru 1-0 barely with 1 man down (for whole 80 minutes) and couldn't beat a 2014 aged Chile with also 1 man down....Venezuela is above those two teams by far and has a better team chemistry overall. The question is, will Canada be able to score at least 1 goal against Venezuela?
This is the first time I've ever seen two nations potentially playing each other once again in the Semi finals when the tournament only holds 4 groups. I'm excited to see if they have another Gold and Black robe in Messi's size after not having to play any respectable teams until the final. This entire shit show reminded me how pathetic Argentina has always been at Copa America with their only trophy with Messi being in an empty stadium
Canada has now gone 450 minutes without scoring an even strength goal. They had a man advantage for 100 minutes combined against Peru and Chile and could only muster one measly goal. I see no improvement in play from their 2022 WC appearance. Venezuela for the win.
So? The strategy was to win and not get knocked out. Wtf would we be going after goals and leaving our defenses low. That’s about the dumbest group stage strategy I’ve ever heard. Did you get that idea from Berhalter ?
@@rogerc23 It doesn’t bode well for the future, numbnuts IF YOU CAN’T SCORE. It’s not my fault you can’t take off your rose colored glasses and look at it dispassionately and objectively.
@@rogerc23You keep telling yourself that. I don’t share in your delusion and participation trophy attitude. In the last WC, they only scored 2 goals (one of which was an own goal), so their offense is poor.
@@burmesepython393 we were never in a position to advance in the WC. So that requires a different strategy. It was more attacking (which a lot of people criticized) and left us massively open to being scored on. Which happened. Look it’s football. It is not rocket science. If you think a smart strategy when your up a goal against ten men is to go and try to run up the goals. Then you just have no clue. That’s about as smart as pulling your goalie when you have a power play with 2 minutes left in the game and you’re up a goal. So learn the game or just be quiet. And same goes for when all we needed was a draw to advance with Chile. All we had to do was control possession and limit and defend their chances. Which Canada did superbly. I suppose you think it’d be super intelligent to try and score 4-5 goals at that point right? When we are right on the cusp of the greatest achievement in Canadian soccer and advancing in Copa. Yeah let’s attack and leave ourselves completely open and at risk of being scored on rather than advancing. Do you know who scored the most goals in WC qualifying?
@@rogerc23 And who scored the fewest amount of goals out of all the quarterfinalists? I never said anything about running up the score. But they failed to capitalize on the chances that they did have by either missing the net entirely or poor decision making. And leading the scoring in WC qualifying? That’s cute, but they’re no longer playing Curaçao or Honduras. This is their second big tournament in as many years so it’s all about taking the next step in their development and actually finishing the scoring chances that they do get, so learn to look at it objectively and dispassionately.
venezuela now has a strong team it would be even funnier if canada made semi finals, i have this game 60% to 40% in favour of venezuela a tough game for both teams who both gets better with each game
Doesn't matter, both would lose to Messi and Argentina in the semi final regardless. This is simply a match to see who will play in the 3rd place game.
Is it really better? Canada was in a group with Argentina, Chile, and Peru, and advanced. The U.S. lost to both Panama and Uruguay. The team is vastly overrated. Its FIFA ranking has lead people to believe it's far better than it really is.
@@fumblerooskie And their FIFA ranking is massively over-inflated by the fact that crooked CONCACAF lets them host literally EVERY event. Well, even abusing home-field advantage this tournament wasn't enough to mask their mediocrity. Look back at the US's record: they get great results hosting the Gold Cup, Nations League, etc., then get spanked back to reality every 4 years during WC qualifying. And it's not just home-field advantage, but also group seeding. Canada gets Argentina, Chile, Peru. USA gets Panama, Uruguay, Bolivia. And it's not a coincidence that the USA would have avoided the reigning WC champions until the final.
Ok, let's get real. Jesse Marsch is not much better than Berhalter. The typical endless low expectations of US commentators and fans. Give them a crumb and they will be thrilled. Not that Gareth Southgate is a good coach, but he makes about 5 million dollars a year. That is for one of the top 3 national teams on the planet. Berhalter makes about 1.5 million. The average salary for a Division 1 COLLEGE football head coach in the US is about 6 million a year! WTF?? If the US is serious about being a top international team, they need to increase their pay for their head coach by double and get someone that can drive the talent the team has. If you hire a Dollar Tree Coach, you are going to get a Dollar Tree results team. If these smaller nations can afford coaches like that, why can't the US? They are only the biggest media market on the planet. They are only the home to the most corporations on the planet. If they were actually good and could compete for big titles they would fill the stadiums more than half of 1/3 with their own fans. There is no excuse other than acceptance that mediocrity is the goal.
I don’t think we can say he is better or worse at this point. His resume is odd. Been at many top clubs but for short periods of time. It’s really quite hard to assess. There is no pattern of greatness, like with Herdman every team he touched has done great things in unexpected places. My guess is team Canada either makes or breaks Marsch’s career. If they excel and do well at World Cup he moves to a major team. If the next year doesn’t show impressive growth and some wins. He is likely gone from football or maybe gets back to the mls on some level. Let’s see if he can raise the level of this team.
Futbol. Yeah, boring or what? Ok, so the fat that it is by far the most popular sport in the world both in terms of participation and fan-base has nothing to do with whether it's exciting. (...wait...)

Venezuela was playing dirty holding goalie and players
I've been following the Venezuelan National Team for more than 40 years and it's the first time we're favorites against any team in a Copa America. We have to be very humble vs Canada.
you got that right mate!
You played well but we won
Canada won 🇨🇦🤫🎉🎉🎉
Canada have a great tournament style which is based on directness and pace, but the big worry for them is the lack of goalscoring.
Better than not being able to stop the other team from scoring, which was Canada's problem before now. With the talent they have up front, the goals should come.
The difference between the two squads it's that 🍁 has a world class and an elite player. Taking this under consideration, i think that 🍁 will prevail in this close match up...
venezuela hasnt lost a match to a concacaf team since 2019, the last defeat was against mexico 3-1
How often have they played concacaf teams since 2019?

RAHHHHHHHHHH 🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁🍁
Canada has a really good chance, they gave Argentina a hard time and Venezuela struggled versus a very weak Mexico.
Allez CANADA! Bon chance mon amis!
Thank you for support go canada.
Ecuador was dominating Venezuela before the Red... Jamaica is a joke and we all know Where Mexico is right now... Venezuela was in far and away the easiest group. That's not to say they won't beat Canada, but these 2 teams are much much closer than people think... What Venezuela have is, imo, probably the best manager in this tournament at the helm... That guy has worked wonders and Venezuela are ALWAYS better after halftime adjustments... Davies will be the best player on the pitch and David is getting better every match he plays. Again, Venezuela certainly can win this match and in terms of form are playing better than almost anyone in the tourney but they're not a dominant side. They commit poor fouls and turnovers at bad times that Canada could capitalize on in transition with their speed...
dominating? dude it was 15 minutes in
Not sure if you've been watching Canada or not but Davis has looked like an imposter all tournament, he couldn't even muster a competent counter attack with Chile being down to 10men for 3/4 of the game. Anyone who's non bias will tell you he was in that right backs pocket and I don't even know his name. Venezuela has the right manager to get them into the semi finals, this is a south American tournament, give me Venezuela
@@user-ok3vy9br3d Davies was VERY dangerous against Argentina and was one of the best players on the field in that game. Didn't see the Chile game but they still made it through. Davies does carry a HUGE load for Canada as they are far from deep. To blame a defender for not "mustering a counter attack" is a bit odd imo...
@@luisfraga4759 Yea and for that 15 minutes Ecuador was CLEARLY the better team. My wife is Venezuelan therefore I've watched each game. They play VERY hard and now have a ton of confidence. I would certainly give the edge to Venezuela but to act like Canada stands no chance here is a bit ridiculous. Venezuela give up very bad turnovers and commit unnecessary fouls at times. Canada could take advantage...
So Venezuela doesn’t have players that have been balling huh? Rondon has won man of the match the last 3 games. Romo has back to back clean sheets and made several huge saves against Ecuador. Aramburo has been arguably one of the best RB in the tournament. Their best players like Soteldo and Yangel Herrera have yet to show up too. Also Ecuador & Mexico are tougher matchups than Chile and Peru. Venezuela is used to playing Argentina too so it’s not like Canada has an edge there cus they played and lost to Argentina.
Canada win on penalties. So listening to this after the match is interesting.
CANADA 🔥 GOAT
Canada qualified for the previous World Cup and in doing so beat Mexico and gave the US a good game as well. This is a solid team when firing on all cylinders. Marsch has got the best out of this group. Hopefully he can do the same vs Venezuela.
Canada is getting some respect which is so deserved. They have played the two World Cup final teams (France/Argentina). They played friendlies against Netherlands and France. Those invites wouldn't happen or they'd play their third string team against Canada. Not this time. France was planning to give Mbappe a break but it became clear they needed him against Canada. France dominated but Canada held them. That's respect.
Yes, Canada got some luck with those red cards but I honestly believe that the result would have been the same.
Venezuela won't be surprised by Canada and neither should we.
The only way Canada has a chance is if they play defensive and frustrate Venezuela to push forward they score on counter attack
Canada outchanced them and broke down their defense with skill and speed, better finishing and the game ends 4-1
Canada will beat Venezuela. They showed they can in the last 3 games.
Won’t be easy but I hope they’ll do it!

One of their best players broke his leg during practice & that has shaken the team. They could either rally around the loss or collapse from it.
If you watched the tournament you would know Buchanan been playing poor. He is one of their best players yes but has he been influencing their results? No
Tajon has been on the bench a lot he’s hasn’t been doing amazing yeah you’d rather have tajon than not have him but hes not the reason they win or lose
Shaken the team? That's fan fantasy. It doesn't happen in pro sports unless you lose someone like Messi. Injury? Next man up, business as usual.
@@cyranodaburgerack8745 That’s what the reporter said. It was apparently a shocking incident to see on the practice pitch
You are right. He is definitely one of the best players on Canada. And can change a game at any moment. He is a definite loss.
Canadá tiene un estilo de juego que incomoda mucho a Venezuela, que es el juego por banda. México lo hizo en la 2da fecha de CA, Brasil en eliminatorias y Ecuador en CA nos hicieron gol de pelota parada (corner y tiro libre), Perú nos hizo gol a partir de un centro en eliminatorias. El 4-3-3 (4-1-4-1 en retroceso) es el que debería plantearse ante Canadá. Tenemos un plantel muy profundo, sobretodo en el sector derecho del campo para parar a Alphonso Davies en caso de que juegue de extremo
You are right. Canada’s play catches many teams off guard. Like Belgium Croatia and France. It’s seems very defensive. But then BAAM they are off and running like wild horses on the transition. They beat the USA and Mexico in qualifying this same way. Gave Belgium nightmares. Croatia went down 1-0 early because of it (but dominated after). And they had very little possession.
@@rogerc23 yep. That’s exactly how the goal against Peru happens. Peru seemed to be attacking more and then: BAM, two or three passes happen and David was already in the area to score. Hope we can see a lot of action tomorrow 🇻🇪🤝🇨🇦

@@user-ok3vy9br3d You ran your mouth in a lot of threads. You going to apologize for your ignorance in each of them, or are you too busy eating that humble pie? Also, do you guys still need to pay the ref even if you lost, or was that a "help us win and you get paid" kind of deal? Because that was some of the most biased officiating I've seen in a while, and that's saying something since I watch the Premier League!
O guess he wanted to say that Canada repreaents the North America let us not forget America is a Continent and South America it os America 26 Countris im America not 3.
Continents aren't a globally defined geography. Different regions teach different groupings. North Americans are taught that Canada, USA, and Mexico make up the continent of North America. I think in Costa Rica, they're taught that Central America is it's own continent.
Canada has a more european style of football and Venezuela is more south america style.

You say any team from South America, then only list the top 3 teams. What about Peru? Chile? Bolivia? Paraguay? All those South American teams finished below CONCACAF teams in their group stage.

Certainly Canada can win.
All these Canada post as if Canada has been a powerhouse. Their new coach has only been in charge for like 6 weeks. They have only 1 win to a 10 sided Peru and 1 goal in 3 games. Now these Canadian fans want to act like Venezuela is below them. While it has been a process for Venezuela who is 4th in Comebol WC qualifiers. Not to mention their manager has been masterclass during his stint with them. It’s futbol and anything can happen but as I tell Venezuelan fans to stay grounded Canada fans need to stay grounded too!
Hey let’s face it. We are all nuts. Now let’s go have some fun cheering on our teams 😃
La voz de la sensatez.
Canada dragged Venezuela all over the field. Venezuela is below them.
Venezuela IS below Canada. It's utterly shocking how dumb a lot of the takes in these comments are. Venezuela have been getting good results recently, and Canada have been playing poorly. They played extremely well against Argentina, but then allowed the shamefully dirty play of Peru & Chile to knock them off their game. FYI, it's tough to break down 10 men who are defending all game, especially when the referee let's them get away with murder. But go back a bit further and you'll see that Canada is definitely deserving of their higher FIFA rankings. Canada drew 0-0 with France in a pre-tournament friendly. Venezuela drew 0-0 with Guatemala. Guatemala are a TERRIBLE team. Yes, Canada had bad results at the WC, but they had amazing performances. They absolutely dominated Belgium for 90 minutes that it's honestly unbelievable that they lost that game. I think losing that game drained them mentally. Against Morocco, they were completely switched off for the first 30 minutes. After going down 2-0 though, they were BY FAR the better team. In WC qualifying, they took 4 points each off both Mexico and the USA. I mentioned the embarrassingly biased refereeing at this Copa America. Well, even with this cheating scumbag ref deep in your pockets, you still deservedly lost to the better team today.
@@mariat.p.v.3327 LMAO STOP IT!!! That was the biggest win in Canadian soccer history 😂. Take your win and keep it pushing. Argentina will bust that ass!!! 💯
Not having Tajon hurts Canada
Yes but he hasn't started in the last two games.
Doesn't matter, whoever wins will 100% lose to Argentina in the semi final.
He barely played and was wasteful with time other than his few minutes against Chile
Not having an in-form Tajon would hurt Canada. His defence vs. Argentina was strong, but he wasn't in top form offensively where he could really change a game.
He has been pretty brutal recently to the point where he was taken out of the starting lineup. I think this may be a great opportunity for others to step up in Tajon's place that he already lost.
Canada W Venezuela L 💯
No !!!
It’s impossible to compete with Canada’s offensive outburst. The Canucks managed to score a mind-boggling total of 1 goal in 3 matches.
You can’t possibly stop them. You can only hope to contain them.
Not sure how much you've watched of this tournament, but almost everybody is struggling to score. Two goals is a big outburst. Yes, Canada has been struggling with their finish, but they are also due to score some goals. Of course, they will happily take a penalty shootout victory after both teams fail to score. 😂
@@Statsy10 Here are the goals scored by all 8 teams who made it to the quarterfinals:
1. Uruguay 9 goals
2. Colombia 6 goals
3. Panamá 6 goals
4. Venezuela 6 goals
5. Argentina 5 goals
6. Brazil 5 goals
7. Ecuador 4 goals
8. Canada 1 goal
Mmm... I don't know about that "everybody is struggling to score" theory of yours. It seems like one 1 team on that list had those struggles.
@@AlfredoEClark So only 4 of the 16 teams are even scoring 2 per game? Obviously, Canada is scoring the least of the remaining teams, but then again we have shutout 3 of our last 4 opponents, so we can easily win a low scoring game.
@@Statsy10 Yeah, I imagine that it must have been very difficult to shut out teams that went scoreless in the tournament.
@@AlfredoEClark Those teams went scoreless partially because we shut them out. Also one of those teams was second ranked in the world France, just before the tournament.
If Canada loses...the 3 nation should not host wc 2026..😂😂😅
South Africa didn't get out of group stage in 2010 but I will never forget "goal bafana bafana! Goal for South Africa, goal for all Africa." And they beat France
Wdym they already did good so far!
@@benmanutd2bafana bafana id say is better right now than they were in 2010! I think they qualify out of their group directly and then get out of their group in the World Cup! Hugo Broos is a really good coach too!
when did advancing to the Copa America semi finals become a requirement for hosting? It must be more recent than the last time a South American team hosted the World Cup, since Brazil hosted in 2014 and lost in the quarter finals in the previous Copa America (2011). And that was a 12 team tournament instead of 16 like this time.
I mean I never expected Canada to even make it out of a group consisting of Argentina, Chile, and Peru so that alone is already impressive. If they manage to beat Venezuela and make it to the semi finals (while also having a chance to play in the thrid place match) then Crepeau should be in the conversation of Golden glove for Copa. It's kind of wild that Canada is doing better than Mexico and the US, I never thought that we would ever be in this position. Regardless of what happens I still think that Canada, US, and Mexico should still host, we've had way less deserving (and more controversial) hosts like Qatar, a country where corruption is rampant and the stadiums were built off the backs of dead slaves.
It's Venezuela not Argentina , Uruguay, Brazil or Colombia .. people need to chill
Canada doesn't has a chance against this Venezuela team.They barely got pass T&T.And they scrape through to reach the quartefinals.Cuz 1 goal in 3 games is awful.
Yup
Canada was the top team in CONCACAF in qualifying. Jesse Marsch has only had this team for 5 games so far. To say that they simply have 1 goal and are awful is ignoring the fact that once you get to the knockout round, anything can happen. Canada is definitely not terrible in terms of the quality players they have in David and Davies and Venezuela, although they've been playing well, is not an insurmountable force in CONMEBOL. Peru is ranked 31st and Venezuela is ranked 54th, and Canada beat Peru.
Its a knock out game. No one can guarantee
@@imaratspal if you want to get deeper into facts Venezuela is #4 in WC qualifiers. Canada beat Peru 1-0 barely with 1 man down (for whole 80 minutes) and couldn't beat a 2014 aged Chile with also 1 man down....Venezuela is above those two teams by far and has a better team chemistry overall. The question is, will Canada be able to score at least 1 goal against Venezuela?
Look at the rosters and get back to me. Canada is far more talented
This is the first time I've ever seen two nations potentially playing each other once again in the Semi finals when the tournament only holds 4 groups. I'm excited to see if they have another Gold and Black robe in Messi's size after not having to play any respectable teams until the final. This entire shit show reminded me how pathetic Argentina has always been at Copa America with their only trophy with Messi being in an empty stadium
Isn't argentina the record holder of most wins in copa...
Canada has now gone 450 minutes without scoring an even strength goal. They had a man advantage for 100 minutes combined against Peru and Chile and could only muster one measly goal. I see no improvement in play from their 2022 WC appearance. Venezuela for the win.
So? The strategy was to win and not get knocked out. Wtf would we be going after goals and leaving our defenses low. That’s about the dumbest group stage strategy I’ve ever heard. Did you get that idea from Berhalter ?
@@rogerc23 It doesn’t bode well for the future, numbnuts IF YOU CAN’T SCORE. It’s not my fault you can’t take off your rose colored glasses and look at it dispassionately and objectively.
@@rogerc23You keep telling yourself that. I don’t share in your delusion and participation trophy attitude. In the last WC, they only scored 2 goals (one of which was an own goal), so their offense is poor.
@@burmesepython393 we were never in a position to advance in the WC. So that requires a different strategy. It was more attacking (which a lot of people criticized) and left us massively open to being scored on. Which happened.
Look it’s football. It is not rocket science. If you think a smart strategy when your up a goal against ten men is to go and try to run up the goals. Then you just have no clue. That’s about as smart as pulling your goalie when you have a power play with 2 minutes left in the game and you’re up a goal.
So learn the game or just be quiet.
And same goes for when all we needed was a draw to advance with Chile. All we had to do was control possession and limit and defend their chances. Which Canada did superbly.
I suppose you think it’d be super intelligent to try and score 4-5 goals at that point right? When we are right on the cusp of the greatest achievement in Canadian soccer and advancing in Copa.
Yeah let’s attack and leave ourselves completely open and at risk of being scored on rather than advancing.
Do you know who scored the most goals in WC qualifying?
@@rogerc23 And who scored the fewest amount of goals out of all the quarterfinalists? I never said anything about running up the score. But they failed to capitalize on the chances that they did have by either missing the net entirely or poor decision making. And leading the scoring in WC qualifying? That’s cute, but they’re no longer playing Curaçao or Honduras. This is their second big tournament in as many years so it’s all about taking the next step in their development and actually finishing the scoring chances that they do get, so learn to look at it objectively and dispassionately.
These guys seem clownish to me

Imagine Canada qualified for the next round and the United States is way better than canada, what's going on in this Copa America and US out?
Is it really better? Canada was in a group with Argentina, Chile, and Peru, and advanced. The U.S. lost to both Panama and Uruguay. The team is vastly overrated. Its FIFA ranking has lead people to believe it's far better than it really is.
@@fumblerooskie And their FIFA ranking is massively over-inflated by the fact that crooked CONCACAF lets them host literally EVERY event. Well, even abusing home-field advantage this tournament wasn't enough to mask their mediocrity. Look back at the US's record: they get great results hosting the Gold Cup, Nations League, etc., then get spanked back to reality every 4 years during WC qualifying. And it's not just home-field advantage, but also group seeding. Canada gets Argentina, Chile, Peru. USA gets Panama, Uruguay, Bolivia. And it's not a coincidence that the USA would have avoided the reigning WC champions until the final.
Except they are not better, US sucked bigtime
Bro the US fucking sucks. Stfu with this nonsense
Ok, let's get real. Jesse Marsch is not much better than Berhalter. The typical endless low expectations of US commentators and fans. Give them a crumb and they will be thrilled. Not that Gareth Southgate is a good coach, but he makes about 5 million dollars a year. That is for one of the top 3 national teams on the planet. Berhalter makes about 1.5 million. The average salary for a Division 1 COLLEGE football head coach in the US is about 6 million a year! WTF?? If the US is serious about being a top international team, they need to increase their pay for their head coach by double and get someone that can drive the talent the team has. If you hire a Dollar Tree Coach, you are going to get a Dollar Tree results team. If these smaller nations can afford coaches like that, why can't the US? They are only the biggest media market on the planet. They are only the home to the most corporations on the planet. If they were actually good and could compete for big titles they would fill the stadiums more than half of 1/3 with their own fans. There is no excuse other than acceptance that mediocrity is the goal.
I don’t think we can say he is better or worse at this point. His resume is odd. Been at many top clubs but for short periods of time. It’s really quite hard to assess. There is no pattern of greatness, like with Herdman every team he touched has done great things in unexpected places. My guess is team Canada either makes or breaks Marsch’s career. If they excel and do well at World Cup he moves to a major team. If the next year doesn’t show impressive growth and some wins. He is likely gone from football or maybe gets back to the mls on some level. Let’s see if he can raise the level of this team.
Here's my answer:
Hell no.
