Everyone putting Chile down, not realizing they just beat Albania in Europe 3-0 and lost to France 3-2 in France and kept up with them. They have a new coach who cut out Vidal and Medel and the team is a shadow of what it was just 3 months ago. Being a Canadian I believe we have to put as many players defending as possible and score on the counter with our speed. Hopefully we can tie all 3 games that's what I think our best outcome can be
Thanks for the update. I thought about 8 years ago Chile was the best team in the world. It’s good if they are going younger now ! Canada does have to defend in numbers and counter attack with Lareya and Shaffelberg on the wings !
Yes Canada needs another strong CM - preferably a CAM. A strong CB is also missing so far. So a strong CAM and CB would make all the difference Canada needs to be a strong team.
If Canada can get some of their sh*t together, then yes I think they can get 4 to 6 points out of round 1. However, if they play like they have recently against the USA, Jamaica and TnT, then no.
A lot of optimists that are using their heart and not their heads. We are ranked at the bottom of our group and we have many question marks. Our Coach and tactics are stale and predictable and we lack a world class striker. Davies has been sub par. Prediction: We lose all 3 games 4-0 1-0 3-1
Well I won't be holding my breath. One draw would make me happy that there is progress. We have an assistant coach as the head coach. He is earnest and he cares but... These are the kinds of games we need to get better.
Tbh most Canadians thought they would destroy Croatia. The problem was Canada’s approach, they were way too attack-minded and Croatia with all their technical quality in every position Sliced through Canada’s press like a butter knife. It felt like watching prime Barcelona in that game. The problem is Canada’s defenders are not that good individually, so they don’t have any other choice but to play high pressing attacking football. Some of the gaps given up against Trinidad and the way the defenders were getting dribbled was embarrassing.
@@Total_football_and_relationism I grew up going to every Canada game since 1971. But in the couple of years leading up to the WC they pissed me off with all the woke crap. In the 70s we used to go to Toronto Metros games in the NASL and Toronto Croatia games in the NSL. Then they merged.Then I used to go to all the Toronto Blizzard games. I supported Croatia over Canada at the WC because I identify with them more. I’m also half English and gave up on them mostly because of Harry Kane bringing up lgbtq stuff every tournament and kneeling ! Sport and identity politics don’t mix for me !
I watched France beat Chile 3-2. Chile was cutting through France and could have won that game. Canada doesn't have the defence to stop these offences.
Recall how much trouble foul-magnet Laryea causes other teams, and how much more potent Canada is with Hoillet. A 10day camp prior to the Netherlands friendly and possibly a 2nd friendly in Euro, with everyone healthy, and you won't recognize this team. Throw in Lucas McNaughton in the mix and Messi might just feign injury and skip the Argentina match altogether
The speed and skill of these three games will be faster and better way beyond anything in CONCACAF. If (if) they can get their ball movement faster, then they might be competitive while learning how they can improve for the WC. Can they get out of the group? Sure. That’s why the games are actually played. They would need three very exceptional two-way performances.
I know the federation is broke as hell but if Canada wants to do any better in the Copa America then they need a big name coach. People out here saying that we have quality coaches within Canada who could take up that position but to be competing for the major international matches against world class teams you need a world class coach. the biggest example of that was the World Cup. Herdman was great for Canada but the problem that we saw was his flexibility in his tactics. Trash talking Croatia before the game against Belgium not starting with both Latin and David. Taking the older guys to the world cup instead of giving youngsters a chance so they could get to know what it feels like and prep themselves. I know we probably wont be able to hire the top top coaches like Klopp Conte Mourinho Sarri but we could look into coaches a bit younger. The likes of Henry Lampard Gerrard. I personally feel getting Henry would absolutely take our team to the next level. Simply cause what he's done as a player if he could share that experience with the guys they'd learn from it . I'm all for having a Canadian coach but right now we need someone with experience of international football not mls or Cpl or concacaf for that matter
@@camilojaragrondin I am not saying he is world class but he has experience of playing at the top level . Lets be real we wont get Conte Mourinho Klopp the high profile ones so we have to go after the ones who have experience if not as a manager then as a player. Henry helped lukaku gain form for Belgium, he helped mbappe as well. he can for sure help our younger boys to get better.
Waterman is way too slow, he wasn't even close to keeping up with the Trinidad striker on that breakaway, heaven forbid Alvarez 1 on 1 against him. Moise bombito needs to start against Netherlands and be the central defending partner with Kamal Miller.
Another issue is the defensive coverage in general. When Canada went up 1-0 I thought Canada would defend well and blow the game wide open. But it was a horrific display, defenders were getting turned inside out and it felt more stressful than before they got the lead.
After the humiliation at the WC, there is little to suggest that the Ice Ballers 🇨🇦 will surprise anyone at a major tournament anytime soon. Unfortunate.
Ollie did answer the question … if Argentina is the best team they have ever faced then no team in the past will compare. And yes magnitude of the moment matters as well. Argentina will be playing their hearts out compared to Italy in their friendly match.
@@ratas290589 yes! It is a spectacle to watch. Funny thing is my favourite team is Canada and my next favourite team is Argentina 😂 so this is a dream match up for me 😄
@@SK_01_01 Yes, you don't get to see Arg vs Can often, great Copa América opener! Canada has improved a lot, and with Davies on the field, it will be fun to watch. This Copa América is going to be good. I can't wait!
Canada has to play atleast 4 in the back ! Shaffelberg is also the best player and needs to start every game ! He is the game breaker. Sorry but Shaffelberg is more valuable a player than Davies. Davies only uses one foot and that is why he hasn’t progressed these past 2 years and Bayern wants to unload him !
@@croatiansensation1554 have you watched Peru lately , they are not that good. Eustachio and Davies are worth more on the market than anyone on there team. Canadas midfield and forwards are far superior to Peru. Chile was fantastic 8 years ago and today they have to prove themselves ! Half the teams qualify for the WC from South America and they didn’t !
In 1994 Croatia was the best team in the world but didn’t get to go to the WC because of the war ! Yugoslavia was the u20 world champs and Denmark,ark won the euro cup in 92 because they replaced Yugoslavia who won the group but weren’t allowed in the Euro or WC !
@@djknox2Denmark won the 92 Euro replacing Yugo . Denmark finished second to Yugo in qualifying. Then Croatia won bronze in there first WC in 98 losing to Home team France.
why is Canada only playing 1 game while most international teams are playing two games during this break? This is another reason why this team is going nowhere, It's not playing enough games at all. It's a joke.
Because teams don't normally play 2 when they are playing a qualification game for a tourney unless it's part of the qualifying process like the playoff games for the Euros where Poland had to beat Estonia and then beat Wales. If both games were just friendlies then maybe they would have, who knows. At least they are before Copa with games vs Netherlands and Mexico unless I forgot when the Mexico game is.
I have faith in the team. Peru is the weakest rival out of three making the group up. Chile has not been the same ever since their “Golden Generation” won their last Copa America 7 years ago approx. I think Canada has a chance of making it past the groups stage

Peru has as many SFs as Colombia too in the Copa era, and an even better record vs Concacaf, will be very difficult
I see the same results as in the World Cup, with what I saw in the 🇹🇹 game,but let’s hope for the best 🤞
You speak true.
great input! how about Peru? you think we can beat them? their present is so lame being at the bottom of South American Qualifiers.
Yes Canada needs another strong CM - preferably a CAM. A strong CB is also missing so far. So a strong CAM and CB would make all the difference Canada needs to be a strong team.
Let's see where de Fougerolles fits in the starting 11. He might be 18 - but he is ready to see how he can perform...
@@makahnouk8011 That would be nice - but I suspect not in time for 2026... a CB needs maturity?
If Canada can get some of their sh*t together, then yes I think they can get 4 to 6 points out of round 1. However, if they play like they have recently against the USA, Jamaica and TnT, then no.
Need to hire a new coach. The association is a sht hole. Could of actually made round of 16 if they kept heardman or brought in a decent replacement

Specting a great match against you guys... Will meet you up there.
Greetings from Chile 🇨🇱❤️
I watched France beat Chile 3-2. Chile was cutting through France and could have won that game. Canada doesn't have the defence to stop these offences.
Croatia scored 4 goals vs Canada in the WC, and 4 goals in the other 6 matches
They don’t have a good defense, CDM and they’re vulnerable.
I think you guys have a chance. Both us and Perú are learning to play again with new coaches. Argentina is levels above. Should be good games.
Recall how much trouble foul-magnet Laryea causes other teams, and how much more potent Canada is with Hoillet. A 10day camp prior to the Netherlands friendly and possibly a 2nd friendly in Euro, with everyone healthy, and you won't recognize this team.

F Croatia by Heardman was idiotic to say the least. Then the clown refused to shake Croatian coach Dalic's hand post game. A clown.
Where did you see that henri is world class coach?
@@camilojaragrondin I am not saying he is world class but he has experience of playing at the top level .

@@nadmankhan4278 but you were talking about world class. Playing and coaching is not the same. Henry has never been a good head coach so far.
Henry, Gerard, and lampard lol. It’s like you want Canada to fail. We should be looking at the likes of gunes or even Lenard.
Chile 3- 0 Albania
Chile 2-3 France
1- Argentina
2- Chile
3- Canada
4- Perú
Chile and Peru are better trams because of their quantity of experience against higher competition
Remember which nations played the latest Copa America final and the one before that?

Yes, vamos Canada. Allez-y Canada. Go Canada Go.

I don’t get this, is this 2020? Why are they not in a TV set?

@@riobabic8960 Sure. Everyone's welcome to their fantasies. I will concede however that Yugoslavia was always a formidable opponent.

why is Canada only playing 1 game while most international teams are playing two games during this break?
This is another reason why this team is going nowhere, It's not playing enough games at all. It's a joke.
They’re broke
Because teams don't normally play 2 when they are playing a qualification game for a tourney unless it's part of the qualifying process like the playoff games for the Euros where Poland had to beat Estonia and then beat Wales. If both games were just friendlies then maybe they would have, who knows. At least they are before Copa with games vs Netherlands and Mexico unless I forgot when the Mexico game is.
No
