@@ScottRandall31I think Davies was intentionally conservative. Canada is playing with a ‘dangerous’ back 4 and it seems prudent to me to keep a really fast Davies back there to mop up.
They couldn't handle him. So they starting hacking/fouling him... And the ref wasn't even calling fouls! A couple of those deserved to be yellows.

Yeah - considering there is a 3rd place match. Canada gets 2 knockout-round games against Argentina and one of Uruguay/Brazil/Colombia, no matter what happens (assuming Panama doesn't beat Colombia!).

Congrats from a US fan. Frankly the only reason I'm watching any games at this point is to see how Canada does. I believe that Marsch is a much better coach than some people particularly in the UK give him credit for. Leeds with no real money to spend, crap centerbacks and a center forward who couldn't hit the side of a barn still had Leeds competitive. And as soon as he was dismissed Leeds form dropped off a cliff. Then to add insult to injury, the US turned him down as coach to replace GGGk. Good for Marsch and good for Canada. It's really strange to see Canada play much like they played 10 to 20 years ago. No they were not the most technical or capable but they used speed, tenacity, disciple and grit to win games. I would love to see Canada win another game. Good luck.
Way to go Canada! I'm Argentine and I'm very happy for you. I guess no one had expected this results and this is obviously the results of commitment and effort. I believe your attitude towards this tournament is what put you in the semifinals, so congratulations and see you on tuesday! Independently of the results, the only fact that we made it to the semifinals speaks great about these 2 teams so congratulations again and wish the best for both teams!
I hope it is a good game Tuesday and a) Canada doesn't give up multiple Messi breakaways again, and b) we get a neutral ref who doesn't get in the way of the game like the guy did yesterday. Of course Argentina is an amazing team, but anything can happen!
I have been following you since inception, so it's nice to see you finally getting recognition, especially from other networks... keep working hard at what you love to do....
Johnstons best game! Cornelius huge again!! Such a good tournament for him and see how he settles Bombito. Great partnership! Davies really growing in leadership!!! He is playing so much less selfishly this tournament and was solid defensively against Soteldo. Less of an offensive threat but doesn't need to be with Shaff.
I’ve been extremely critical of Larin for several years now. But his defensive work is massive for how we defend as a unit. I rather defend solidly than score many goals and concede just as many like we did against Jamaica.
I'm going to focus on the tactics: - Rest defence needs to be better on Canada's offensive setpieces, that is why we conceded the goal (i.e., Why is Bombito even put in that position 1 v 1 in the first place) and so many chances against Argentina - Defensive recovery from Canada's forward players could also be better during counterattacks (seemed like only a few players were rushing back sometimes) - Canada's 4-4-2 press and counter pressing have been very effective - Canada doesn't need to dominate possession to play well, create chances and get results - Marsch exploited the high-block from phases of Venezuela's build-up through verticality and directness, which won Canada the game
Agreed that Canada is more of a direct threat, on the wings and in behind especially. But I would like to see us be able to control games more with possession and close games out Esp vs Peru and Chile in the closing stages, we were up a man yet it was still end to end basketball stuff.
The way the ref was blowing his whistle each and every Canada throw in and slowing them down was laughable, even while he'd allow Venezuela to walk up 10 yards towards Canada's box. And holy man, how on Earth do you watch the goalie interfere with Larin's throw in like that and not card him. Just unbelievable. Canada good enough to overcome anyway. Good on them.
I’m so happy for Kone, must have been hard to be on the bench for the last 2 games but he came back hungry yesterday and wins the match. It’s going to be a very valuable experience for him and will pay off in the future. I want also say that I think media, including Josh, have been a bit harsh on him, saying he disappointed against Argentina and Peru. People forget how little experience he has on the big stage. He didn’t play u15 to u20s, instead he was playing for CS St Laurent. Copa America is just a different beast, it’s an all out war and you have to adjust your mentality. Also playing a2 man midfield will expose any mistake you make so there’s not a lot of room for error here for a young lad in his first Copa. Kudos to Marsch noticing that and putting Osorio in but I think this experiment should be over with. We saw how ready he was when he came on and he brought something that the team needs, control and ideas in the midfield. I really hope he starts Tuesday.
Kone has good and bad days but I think our future strongly includes him. I would like to see a 3 man midfield: Eustaq, Kone and Osorio. Either lose a striker or a defender, depending on the opponent.
@@user-vp3zy8dp3d that's what Canada played in 2022 and 2023 and their 3 CBs couldn't handle quality opponents. Ultimately, if we can get to 3 top shelf CBs, I would prefer the 3-5-2. Just not in the next two matches!!
@@djknox2nah in the WC, our back 3 was exposed by a lack of pace (Vittoria and Miller). The real problem was we only played 2 in midfield, which led to Modric + Kovacic tearing us apart
My takeaway is an up tempo team, proud to play for the shirt. They seem to panic when they get close to scoring, shooting wide or at the goalie, could easily have been 3 - 0 at the 1st half for Canada. That's a nice problem to have, getting good chances, their future is bright.
Josh, do a show on what Copa is going to do for these players careers. Will Eustaquio's performance mean he is back in Porto's starting XI? Who is getting looks from Champion League level teams after this?
My predictions: shaff to top 5 Europe. Would like to see Crepeau at a decent French club. If Johnston has another solid performance I could see mid table/europa league level premier league teams looking at him. Both Cornelius and Bombito could go to a French/German/top dutch league team if they have solid performances. I’m a big Eustaquio fan but he just hasn’t been himself so far. If he can pull out a solid performance vs Argentina, it’ll get Porto’s attention. Millar will stay in championship unless he has at least one clinical moment. David to top premier league club, especially if he can have at least one clinical moment in final 2 matches. Larin will stay in bottom of table La Liga side, or lower level league because he’s hit his peak and will decline after this tournament. Tani could get Europe interest if he gets any more looks. He’s looked like a beast but just hasn’t put it in the back of the net yet
@@mig3598love reading stuff like this, great insights! Really hope Larin reverses the decline, let’s see what happens this season. I’d also be happy if Shaffelburg joins a non-top 5 league in Europe, like Belgium - playing for Bruges, Genk, USG, Anderlecht would be a great next step.
Cornelius, Crepeau, Shaff are the big revelations for anyone watching Canada wondering if there is talent to poach. Although Crepeau's mistake (apparently caused by Marsch always tellling him to push up the field) might cause teams to think twice. Plus, he's not 6'5" like goalies are expected to be these days.
So I am making a ton of money on the Copa America and Euros. I have Canada to exit in the SF, Colombia to exist in SF or F or win, Argentina to exit in F or win, and the Netherlands to exit in SF or F or win. All bets pay very well. I also had Canada to beat Peru, tie Chile and last night's game to tie and win in penalties. I'm just cleaning up unless Colombia and the Dutch lose tonight and Canada beats Argentina... 😁
Quick takeaways: - Davies has a calming presence on the backline (besides Bombito/Cornelius/Johnston). His game has matured and if he wasn't there we would be facing way more pressure from any South American opposition. He has also matured in other ways such as he showed in PKs (compared to what he did vs Belgium in the WC2022). -Marsch's tactics have been pretty good; not everything is perfect but he has been adaptable and he can think quickly on his feet while the game is moving along. -I'm not worried about Canada's finishing; the finishing will come in time and while we wait Canada's team D has been pretty good. Given defence has been a major issue in the past, it has improved quite bit.
I'd thought playing Davies at LB was foolish. But it worked out well in the match against Venezuela. He and Shaffelburg made for a dynamic partnership.
@@samuelrigaud6595 No it isn't. He was converted to LB by Bayern. --------------------------------------------------- @samuelrigaud6595 30 minutes ago That's his natural position
Excited! I thought they had a good chance to get out of the group, and when Venezuela won group B, I thought they had a better than average chance of winning this one. Sure, they are huge underdogs against Argentina, but cue the 'Theme from Rocky' and let's cheer them on!!!!
It's a perfect storm for Canada. They have no pressure and nothing to lose. And they'll know for certain that they really and truly could upset this Argentina squad if the ball bounces their way. They're going to go for it. It'll be a banger.
Here are my thoughts.....1. Canada deserved the win. We were the better team. We had to play through the most one sided officiating I have seen in either the Euro or Copa; 2. our lack of finishing may be our undoing. We should have been up 3 or 4 to nil before Rondon's wonder strike; 3. Max made his only mistake of the tournament thus far but more than made up for it in the penalty shootout; and 4. Let's hope that Kone's stone cold finish on his PK gives him his mojo back. Osorio has filled in nicely but to beat Argentina, we need the Kone from the France friendly and we need to finish our scoring chances.
@philojudaeusofalexandria9556 pressure affects all of us differently. He's a super confident guy.. I think he got into his own head with exuberance. He's one of us so I don't like to criticize one of us.
Great game overall. 2 takeaways for me 1) Shaffelburg must start. 2) Jesse has to look into dropping Larin. With David and Larin out there, it seems like we have two centre forwards out there who are good at dropping into midfield and build up but no pure striker option. You’re not dropping David. It has to be Larin. Looking ahead, if Canada isn’t more clinical against Argentina, they have little chance to go to a final. When Tani came on, the team looked much more dangerous in the final 3rd, so start him over Larin. I would also give Millar the start over Laryea, Kone to start over Oso. Canada needs to take the game to Argentina and get them in transition. Oso played well against Venezuela but is not as physically gifted as Kone which is fine against a less physical, less technically gifted Venezuela side (than Argentina) but against Argentina he will get out matched physically and technically.
@@guynicoletti5811 fair point but my reasoning is strictly based on midfield/winger options. Buchanan out. Laryea has no business playing there because he’s not an attack minded player. He’s naturally a right back playing out of position because they’re not taking Johnston out. Millar has been pretty poor in final third but he’s pushing ball forward and getting balls into the box. That’s how Canada can optimize their strengths in transition
@@mig3598 I agree with your logic but to me Laryea out of position is more unpredictable and dangerous than Millar. The rest of what you said makes a lot of sense to me.
Takeaways? - Stop playing the refs, they are obviously not on your side. - Canada's biggest opponent is themselves. Please stop making a big deal about "finishing" because every game seems like another self exorcism session. 🇨🇦 Go Canada!! 🇨🇦
It was a great match, with a lot of stamina from both teams. Team Canada is a very competitive squad, but it needs to improve its efficiency facing the net. Honour the winners and losers!
A sweeper keeper shouldn't be at the 40 yard line when up 1 goal. So the fault is shared between Crepeau and Bombito. Very amateurish and combined with our inability to finish, this game was much closer than it needed to be. And BTW, where was Cornelius? A CB should not be forward without someone covering him...
Marsch said it was 'on me' because he is always telling Crepeau to push up the field... But agreed - keeper has to know better up 1-0 in a knockout game.
If we want to win vs Argentina Kone is a must start. Sure he may struggle again but his ceiling is so much higher. Oso has been solid but this is Goliath were up against here. We need to roll the dice with our highest potential lineup.
I don't put the goal on Bombito. I put it on the coaches, we should not have had 10 men in the final third when you are up 1-0 with less then 30 min left.
They couldn't handle Shaff. So they starting hacking/fouling him... And the ref wasn't even calling fouls! A couple of those deserved to be yellows. The ref was completely tone-deaf to what was happening. Venezuela's gameplan after 25 mins was "We need to stop this guy at any cost. He is destroying us."... And it was reffed like Shaff was a desperate attacker that was diving to draw fouls since he was having no luck beating the D. Completely ridiculous.
Don’t forget team Canada is playing against two teams in every match, the officials and their opponents. Those referees are as corrupt as it comes. None of them want to see Canada succeed. It’s been painful watching these games as the refs keep pretending they see nothing. What a joke to call Canada is a physical team. They are just too sore to complement team Canada for playing well. These South Americans teams play like thugs and the refs are corrupt. I don’t know how they can continue to call games this way without being suspended or get talking to. It just makes this tournament lose credibility.
I agree to the extent that we certainly had too many unforced errors and really were our own worst enemy. But I would also say Venezuela are pretty a serious team
set plays are a disaster. They are literally getting absolutely nothing on them. Sure would have liked Hoilett on the field for those. But we also need someone on the end of them, and so far there's just nobody home. It's a real problem.
I would like to see Marsh commit to, and build for the future, by replacing Eustaquio in the midfield somehow. Although he has some experience and composure, his distribution, soccer IQ and quickness are too weak for the world stage. Canada’s midfield were timid and physically outplayed.
The turnovers were also largely caused by Venezuela's relentless pressing. The pressing also led to massive chances for Canada when we were able to break the press. We just didn't finish them, so Venezuela was confident to continue pressing all the way to the end even after they tied the game.
@@timolsen8252 Canada's midfielders are plenty strong imo. Eustaquio is a very intelligent player and Kone is a very, very special talent. It's simply asking too much of them with just 2 in a double pivot against the world's best. We need 3. I'd lean towards a 4-14-1 with Eustaquio in the CDM. It can be either Kone and Osorio in 8s ahead of him or even Kone and Ahmed.
What was your biggest takeaway?
Shaff is the man
The team chemistry; they’re a brotherhood. Davies wasn’t at his best but Johnson was a monster.
Still need to be more clinical, the game should have been over in the first half.
Copa refs are HORRIBLE. That guy was so biased against Canada it wasn't funny.
@@ScottRandall31I think Davies was intentionally conservative. Canada is playing with a ‘dangerous’ back 4 and it seems prudent to me to keep a really fast Davies back there to mop up.
Poor Shaffleburg.. probably slept on blocks of ice trying to recover from all those tackles.
Seriously, this kid is really and truly going to get injured if he keeps causing these problems for the world's best. He's a target.

The ref is a disgrace.! He should have been suspended for the crappy job he did.

if we want to win against Argentina we have to play 3 in midfield.
Alexis MacAllister ran the show last time around.
@@stevendchu Agreed. Eustaquio, Kone and Osorio. Never been a better time to field a 4-2-3-1/4-5-1.
If coach gives more time for Oluwaseyi instead of Cyle Larin
That (most) refs are against us and don't respect us...but we have finally learned to get a result in spite of them.
I don't put the goal on Bombito. I put it on the coaches, we should not have had 10 men in the final third when you are up 1-0 with less then 30 min left.
why is cornelius suspended?
They couldn't handle Shaff. So they starting hacking/fouling him... And the ref wasn't even calling fouls! A couple of those deserved to be yellows.
The ref was completely tone-deaf to what was happening. Venezuela's gameplan after 25 mins was "We need to stop this guy at any cost. He is destroying us."... And it was reffed like Shaff was a desperate attacker that was diving to draw fouls since he was having no luck beating the D. Completely ridiculous.
Canada está en buen momento pero se enfrento alas que estan en peores momentos
I hate the prolieferation of online betting. It ruins families. I'm sad you had to take money from them... :(
Don’t forget team Canada is playing against two teams in every match, the officials and their opponents. Those referees are as corrupt as it comes. None of them want to see Canada succeed. It’s been painful watching these games as the refs keep pretending they see nothing. What a joke to call Canada is a physical team. They are just too sore to complement team Canada for playing well. These South Americans teams play like thugs and the refs are corrupt. I don’t know how they can continue to call games this way without being suspended or get talking to. It just makes this tournament lose credibility.
Canada will not survive any serious team with the massive amounts of turnovers and poor service on set plays.
I agree to the extent that we certainly had too many unforced errors and really were our own worst enemy. But I would also say Venezuela are pretty a serious team
set plays are a disaster. They are literally getting absolutely nothing on them. Sure would have liked Hoilett on the field for those. But we also need someone on the end of them, and so far there's just nobody home. It's a real problem.
I would like to see Marsh commit to, and build for the future, by replacing Eustaquio in the midfield somehow. Although he has some experience and composure, his distribution, soccer IQ and quickness are too weak for the world stage.
Canada’s midfield were timid and physically outplayed.
The turnovers were also largely caused by Venezuela's relentless pressing. The pressing also led to massive chances for Canada when we were able to break the press. We just didn't finish them, so Venezuela was confident to continue pressing all the way to the end even after they tied the game.
@@timolsen8252 Canada's midfielders are plenty strong imo. Eustaquio is a very intelligent player and Kone is a very, very special talent. It's simply asking too much of them with just 2 in a double pivot against the world's best. We need 3. I'd lean towards a 4-14-1 with Eustaquio in the CDM. It can be either Kone and Osorio in 8s ahead of him or even Kone and Ahmed.

As long as the USMNT has an elementary u6 coach in charge of our team we don’t deserve to be in any top list.
