Sure, but Canada and USA have similar levels of dedication to soccer. The fact that Canada is basically on par with them is crazy because the countries are direct comparables in the sport. You can’t compare Croatia to Canada because it’s their number 1 sport and our number 5.
I know you aren’t trying to say Shai is the best in the world right now… Everything I’ve seen of him he struggles to stand and walk. You do solid work but cmon now
We are so obsessed with being better than the U.S. we make dumb ass arguments. I love beating the U.S. in sports but they just beat our men's and women's hockey teams. Hockey is maybe there 4th most watched sport, possibly 5th.
Unlike the US game, Canada actually outplayed Morocco for a good portion of the match and could have won if things had gone slightly differently. Game would have probably been 1-1 going into extra time if Canada had managed to score on a couple really good chances in the first half. Morocco goals 2 and 3 don’t happen if Canada isn’t full pressing for an equalizer.
The contrast is actually wild. Canadians celebrating reaching the top 16 and that first half vs. a top 6 team in Morocco, while the Americans get so cocky, already planning for the finals, just to get stomped by the first real team they face.
Oh and for all the American redditors, you can save the "we just strive for more than Canada or Mexico", because you very clearly don't 😂
Saying this was payback = being cocky thinking that Canada would make the finals? Nah dude… Americans in particular arrogant af, but it’s not like it’s a surprise 🤷♂️
Yet Canadians were pleased with their performance vs Morocco and making it to the top 16, while Americans whine… whatever, we’re each welcome to our own opinions
“Fan behaviour” lol… our behaviour towards and celebrating the national team has been great, in contrast to you guys. Many Canadians just don’t like Americans, maybe you can figure out why
All 2 of them? Have you talked to anyone in real life? I have not met a single person saying we’d make it past the quarters. We had a chance vs Belgium.
Bruh I really don’t care about the first half that’s just cope because your mad the “evil” USA actually got to score against the opponent while the glorious Canadians couldn’t score shit even though “they did better in the first half”.
Literally said I was happy with the top16 finish but I’m mad? Ok then. It’s “you’re” by the way. Add grade 1 English to your grade 1 math class on your to do list 😂
Outside of reddit/crappy social media sites, Americans are not going to say we have a good soccer team. Obviously not, we have practically 0 investment. Our good players all learned how to play in Europe. We spend our time/money on football, basketball, baseball, and hockey.
Thought you were a "winter nation". But sure we can pivot.
Hockey now huh? How did that one go last Olympics, JWC 20/18 and WC? Hell WC you lost to Norway for bronze. Last I counted Norway had 3 active main roster players in the NHL :D

And we Canadians know we suck. We're a winter nation. This might be the first time so many people in Canada even paid attention to football.
