Soccerpro Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Hoping for some 1-2's and penetrating quick passing around the opposition box. Instead, they've mirrored the CMNT in the first 20 mins... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soccerpro Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 That was a poor first half. I'm not seeing any soccer IQ from the canadian team. Luckily for them China just wants to park the bus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub Narcotic Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Watching the BBC game, all the talk is about the pitch. Canada not playing too badly but has to generate more chances. Buchanan is very impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miche Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Kyle substitution + switching to 3 at the back has helped raise the intensity. Looking positive now. I think they'll get it done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charlesmazz Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Lucky to get the win. Technique and passing ability was non existent today. Must improve quickly if we want to go far in this tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub Narcotic Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Well, credit to the forward for pulling the old arm hook trick to win the penalty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
king1010 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 That elbow to the head is called 9 times out of 10 if its not in the box. A foul is a foul, that doesnt change if its inside the box or outside. Elbow/arm to the head is a foul. Right call. Thats how she goes. Canada couldnt do anything with their possesion. Gunna have to pick it up if they want to make the semis.

Gunna have to pick it up if they want to make the semis. The Canadian forward hooked her arm so that it would come up like that. That's a classic striker trick and should actually have been a foul the other way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unnamed Trialist Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Spanish commentators both said it was a clear penalty and was right to be given. So fair enough, but it was made easier by the ref being in Canada before Canada fans. And yes, after winning the Champions League this Barça club member went to the Ramblas to celebrate in pure chaos, came back, and ended up watching the end of Canada-China.

And yes, after winning the Champions League this Barça club member went to the Ramblas to celebrate in pure chaos, came back, and ended up watching the end of Canada-China. My impression at the beginning of the game was that the ref wasn't calling penalties against China to prove that she wasn't a homer. Things started to get a bit testy after that, and she reined things in. Overall, I'm okay with the officials' performance, but I would not call them on Canada's side in that game.

king1010 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 The Canadian forward hooked her arm so that it would come up like that. That's a classic striker trick and should actually have been a foul the other way.The cdn player hooked her arm after the chineese player had already made contact with the cdn players face. The arm hook was not what resulted in the chineese player making contact witht the cdns face. Have a look at the slow mo alternate angle shot of the incident as 40 seconds in the link i have provided. you can see the hooked arm happens after the initial foul on the cdn. Right call. Cant have your arm out extended like that head level. Just asking for trouble. http://screamer.deadspin.com/canada-win-world-cup-opener-thanks-to-stoppage-time-pen-1709578113 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red card Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 This was a type of match we see regularly at a men's world cup. Usually Canada flops in these type of matches while the Italys of the world always manage to get a result. Well, we got a result this time which is progress. But the Italys of the world usually apply more pressure while Canada didn't get too many free kicks near the penalty area or corner kicks. Filigno is too weak on the ball and Tancredi seems past her prime. And the rest ex Buchanan didn't play as well as they could. Was also surprised Herdman didn't change tactics in the 2nd half.

Lord Bob Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 I thought that Canada, while far from brilliant, neatly outplayed the second-best team in the group and the penalty was almost a no-doubter. Interesting to see the different perspective from TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatDaveCh Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Canada was the better team throughout the match. I noticed in both matches that crosses just wouldn't curl, I'm not sure why that is. Our ladies definitely had the momentum in the final few, penalty or not I'd like to believe we would have achieved the result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
