Yeah, missing 10 starters. Just isn't the depth behind that yet. The Guatemala game was atrocious. That said it was near +40 with humidity and the game started at 9pm local! Guadeloupe actually have a fairly solid team. A couple of top tier league players and mainly all French expats that play in Ligue 2. Canada should be beating both though. Lots of new players simply not gelling. Ahmed from the whitecaps looks a great find for the program though as does mls rookie Bombito. Canada desperately needs CB's. It's a gong show back there.

The background stuff with the CSA saying bankruptcy was possible then trying to walk it back also wasn’t helpful. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bonk Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Hey! I’ve got no problem losing on penalty’s, @Mike. Good effort from a lot of new faces from what I read. Gold Cup has fallen off, though. Why does it exist if the Nations League just happened? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I didn't even know it was on, tbf. Saw the result this morning. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 Was pretty happy with the game. Was expecting a thrashing. Dissapointing result give the performance but good for a battle of the B teams. Only difference is that is also Canada's C, D E and F teams. The depth comparison between the two nations is so wide. It's getting better though. Cowell is a beast for the states. Ahmed had a break out tournament for Canada. Lack of any decent CB's is still a huge long term issue for Canada. Rest is looking good though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deuce Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 That Jacob kid seems like he’s got something to him. Great goal. Canada’s top XI can compete, but our depth just blows them (and everyone else in the conference) out of the water. Hopefully this spells the beginning of the St. Clair era in goal, too.

If our top/Euro-based players were gonna play, better to give them a few games at the tail end of their club season rather than an early call back and month-long commitment that leads straight into club pre-season. No way they’d have called them in for both, they’d not have gotten any breaks. Doesn’t really matter if we win this GC either. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they show up. Nations League final was not a glowing account of ability. I think we'll see better players coming through who actually want to play for Canada with the team improvement.

Maybe 3. Too bad but he made his choice and wasn't smarter for Southgate cynical capping. Fell for it not once but twice! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Bonk Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 @toontownman Yeah, kinda, I get where you're coming from. Hargreaves was a big player for England in his time, Tomori won't even get that opportunity, it would seem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
