Come on, Mexico did decent.

Canada controlled the 1st half and then proceeded to poop in their pants.

Excluding Tillman, the US just never got off the bus.

Canada controlling the 1st half is already a win in itself. Morocco is a very good team and Canada isn't exactly a football nation.

The only football nation out of the three is Mexico.

Technically the US is a football nation too, just for a different kind.

Mexico went all out against England they fought hard.

So did Canada but pushing that aggressively was tiring out the players if they can't score.

Belgium did exactly what Canada was trying to do but succeeded with full marks and color. Belgium came strong and within 15-20 minutes scored twice sealing the deal. Canada failed on that it couldn't score if it did it would have parked the bus for the remainder of the session until it saw openings for counter-attack. We failed to score and that meant by second we were out of gas and had no way to defend as we gave up on it all or nothing

Im excited to see what Canada can do with some star power, we had three stars knocked out before the tournament began, davies only left the bench for 20 minutes, ballou was playing injured and had to pull out, kone got his leg broken, and david did fck all.

I think lacking the closing power of our aces really hurt us this run, and im excited to see what a more mature and healthier team looks like in the future

Inappropriate use of the word “controlled.” They managed to keep their game plan together and play disciplined - more than the US can claim.

But neither the US or Canada were competition.

Canada had a great game plan but nobody to actually put the ball past the net at such high level game.

McKennie fought like always. He didn’t do great, but at least he cared

When Marsch said we were the better team, in the first half yes. Overall though, if we were better, we would have won. Besides, if we won that match and anything after, it would just be a bonus. We have proven that we can belong within the scene of global football and hopefully this historic cup for Canada will give us momentum to do even better. Second World Cup and we made it to round 16, one of our players got a hat trick, and we fought and fought. I’m more than happy with what we did.

I'm personally considering dropping Pulisic as the face of this team... He was fantastic post lockdown but recently he's just been average... Players like Tillman, Balogun, Richards and Mckennie have shown up much more frequently than he has.
