So the US wins its group and has 13 goals for and 1 goal against. Should Canada beat Cuba on Tuesday, we'll probably end up in second place in our division. Which means we'll play the US in the quarter-finals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kind of B-team did we send? You mean it's not full of B players??? Uh oh. We are on the verge of getting elimated while freakin' Qatar is about to qualify.

So far it's been an absolutely abysmal performance by Canada... it shows that our backups are no good at all and we need our top guys desperately. If they fail to advance heads should roll as B team or not this is a pathetically weak group of minnows where there is no excuse that can be made. This looks like the very lacklustre Canada of old and not in a good way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 And now Borjan is hurt.

We just haven't got the depth that the US and Mexico do. Which makes sense given that they each have much larger populations than we do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RUPERTKBD Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Even on off days, the news is bad. Milan Borjan suffered some kind of injury against Guatemala and is done for the tournament. https://www.sportsnet.ca/soccer/article/canada-goalkeeper-and-captain-borjan-out-for-remainder-of-gold-cup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RUPERTKBD Posted July 5, 2023 Share Posted July 5, 2023 (edited) The draw with Guatemala was the killer.... Thanks to that, Canada gets a quarter-final match up against the Americans, while Guatemala (who won Group D with a 3-2 win over Guadeloupe) plays Jamaica. It would have likely been only a one match reprieve anyway, as the winner of Guatemala-Jamaica will likely draw Mexico.... I don't imagine the game against the Yanks is going to be pretty....

From what I've read, while Jamaica would have been an easier opponent they still would have been favoured to beat Canada (in its present configuration). 8 hours ago, RUPERTKBD said: I don't imagine the game against the Yanks is going to be pretty...

UnkNuk Posted July 6, 2023 Share Posted July 6, 2023 Came across this in another forum. Turns out, if we somehow beat the US we'd play the winner of Panama/Qatar in the semis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Crap! So close. Americans win on penalties after 2-2 draw in regulation and overtime. Still and all a good game by our boys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Questionable choices in penalties. Start with a player who just took a penalty (and took the same shot), then follow it up with a player who's never taken a penalty. All while neglecting the player that gave us the 2-1 lead. Was entertaining though. Didn't expect to come back after conceding the opening goal, and didn't expect to take a lead in extra time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 17, 2023 Share Posted July 17, 2023 0-0 at the half. The first half hour was pretty evenly played. Mexico started to dominate in the last 15 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
