U-19 Games Highlights: GOLD MEDAL - USA v. Canada

The gold medal match of the 2016 FIL U-19 Championships was one for the ages. After the US easily dominated competition to that point in the tournament, Canada came out hot and executed a great game plan that built a sizeable lead. The US fought their way back for a late tie, resulting in one of the most exciting endings in the tournament's history.

[@Chuckschwartz]

These announcers are so cringey

[@Laxbro22MACH]

that canadian dragged conrad to the ground after that last play. Goes to show their classless nature.

[@JeremyFacer]

I agree. Canadian players seems to play a bit dirtier in most all aspects of the game in my experience

[@ivan99x]

Unlike this comment. Classy.

[@DeluxxMuin]

yeah, I'll admit that Canadian players are a little more "dirty" than Americans. The only reasoning that I can come up with for that is because of our box background. We do some much behind the play because box is so much "chippier" you could say, and we do it to try to get into the opponents head. But when it comes down to it, we know how to play clean as well. If you watch, he gets tangled up but tries to let go after the shot and ends up accidentally tripping on the American's feet with him. Plus, imagine being in the heat of the moment and the opposing team is right there. You're going to commit everything you have into that hit to try and prevent the ball from crossing that line.

[@JeremyFacer]

Yeah I totally understand that. I feel like there is also more of a need for "chippier" play in box than in the field game. Just my take on it

[@DeluxxMuin]

Oh yeah!! You definitely need to be chippy in box. You have to let you temper take a role in it to drive you sometime. It's rough..
