Anyone know what hospital Tajon is in right now in Dallas? My family wants to send him flowers... My goodness, a tibia fracture is major... Our thoughts and prayers are with Tajon and his mother at this time... My heart feels really heavy. I can't even finish watching this episode. I'm feeling just terrible that this happened. It's so important not to be overly aggressive and physical on other teammates during training/ practice, although I do understand the desire to compete and impress the team's coaching brass. Inter Milan will be asking Jesse Marsch some hard hitting questions in the next day or two... God bless Tajon, the CMNT, and Inter Milan...
Inter is going to be fuming. It takes a year to come back from Tibia surgery, to be back at his elite level. I can’t believe they are just brushing over this news. It’s devastating to be Canada and Inter.
@@soyentak5076 They always have home field in both Nations League and Gold Cup when they've beat us. Last 2 times we've played them at home we've won convincingly.
@@soyentak5076 My post says nothing about Canada. It says that I think their 11th rank in the FIFA standings is BS. You think they're the 11th best country in the world? They aren't a top 20 side.
KJ hit the nail on the head. The issue with the US fans is that they think they are a much bigger soccer power than they actually are so their expectations are much higher than they should probably be.
Things happen in are daily lives goid and bad i wish tajon all the best and full recovery and canada will play their hearts out on friday for tajon keep your heads up high and also you guys got the whole country behind you go Canada go
@@spearmintmedia breaking a tibia to the point it requires surgery is nuts. It’s the second strongest bone in the body. This isn’t just a simple accident.
I'm not an American sympathizer BUT Weah getting red carded pretty much ruined their chances. Specially when the Referee on the 3rd game was the worst I have seen! It was so bad! Literally have no clue to officiate. Speaking of Officiating, EURO is officiated so effectively. While Copa America is a Joke! Bombito should have been red carded, we got really lucky and lets be honest here, we probably would not have gotten out of our group! Matches should not be decided by who is refereeing.
What kind of drills we have these guys doing and/or who keeps murdering every right winger on our team. You can get through violent games but get tournament ending injuries in practice.... what?
Shame we never really saw the best of Buchanan this tournament. Get well and impress upon your return. The Brazil/Columbia match felt like you were watching someone play Fifa on Playstation. KJ has a very high bar on what makes a World Class player. The CPL will not have produced that player in 20 years.
arvisconte, CPL is purposely a new development league. From there, players will go on to play in either the MLS or Europe & then you will eventually see some world class players who will have started out in the CPL.
@@jrcanuck1 I agree, but MLS is the same thing. MLS is a developmental league as well. That is why they emphasis has been on academies and younger DP's for years. There are may on the current US squad who have passed through the MLS system which shows that it is working to create international level players.
Of course I understand that. But the idea was that MLS regardless of nation can’t produce world class players. The idea seemed to me that MLS is just structurally flawed. Granted, given that they’ve only produced one isn’t great. Tajon played a lot in MLS and I think he’s great!
Zeeqayum, you are yet another American who over values their players. Yes, David, who just turned 24 in January, was 2nd in goals in the French Ligue 1 behind Mbappe, who is probably the best player in the world. David has been around the top of that league in scoring for multiple years, plus he is known for being an outstanding defensive forward. David is currently being seriously sought after by multiple teams in the Premier & Spanish leagues. Pulisic, who will be 26 in September, often struggled & sometimes didn't even start for Chelsea for 3 years. He finally had a pretty good season at AC Milan this past year. So yeah, there is no question that Pulisic has not yet established himself as a consistent world class player & obviously David has. But you keep drinking the Kool-aid being served to you by U.S. media & podcasts and you will keep getting disappointed.
I hope the US never fires Greg Berhalter. What a treat (for everyone who isn't the USA).

Dude its not that deep.

The FIFA ranking is deceiving people into thinking the U.S. team is better than it really is.
Yep that's part of it. I go with Elo rankings, they seem more accurate and in tune with the moment.
@@Rob2380 we cant beat them in nations league or gold cup. lets centre ourselves.

The U.S need to prove themselves in neutral field that's the world stage where they suffer
Maybe we see Ali Ahmed coming in for Laryea and Shaff in for Millar... AND YES I want to see Theo Bair!!

The US has done a lot of great things in soccer in the past. This team is just underperforming.

How in the world do you suffer that kind of injury in practice????!!
players trying to impress coach with aggresive play
Tajon collided with another player, that’s all. To play at an intense level, you practice at an intense level.

Didn’t Davies play in MLS? He’s not world class?
He was referring to American players.

@@jrcanuck1 Davies might be the only world class player in all of Concacaf right now.
In hockey players play with broken ribs and broken fingers
None of them play with a broken tibia. Not now. Not ever. That’s why they have shin guards.
Pulisic is not world class but Jonathan David is? Haha yeah right

@@jrcanuck1 then why is the usmnt so much better than the canmnt? You apparently have 2 world class players and we have 0.
I don’t think David is world class yet, let’s talk after a season in the premier league. But to think that pulisic is anywhere close is delusional 😂
Lmao if the usmnt is so much better than the cmnt then why are we in the knockouts and you aren’t? in a tournament that you’re hosting lol
