Gian-Luca Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) I've been trying to find videos on youtube of Mexican-based pundits talking about Canada ahead of the semi-final as I'm curious as to what they might be saying about us, but the only one I have found the Mexican pundits seem more interested in talking about how shit and unimpressive they think the US is in this tourney. Is that perhaps the ultimate insult - they think we are so shit they aren't even going to talk about how allegedly shit we are?

Another here: "And now they're going to face a more serious team, Canada, harder working and with more options than Costa Rica, I believe this will be a serious game for the Mexican team". "Now Mexico will face a very different team than they've ve faced so far. In the second half against El Salvador, El Salvador recovered the ball from Mexico, they pressed Mexico, and that was a team without the physicality, and without the capacity to box in an opponent like Canada has. Perhaps El Salvador has more creativity than Canada, but today El Salvador doesn't have the tools Canada has, Canada is a team with speed and strength 1 v 1, Canada can corner Mexico, and they know how to create scoring opportunities, these are points that should be passing through the head of Tata Martino. We are going to see sensational duels, Gallardo v. Tajon Buchanan, this will be difficult for Mexico to navigate... ".

The last guy talked about the danger of Cyle Larin (pronounced "sile"), so I am not sure they are paying that close attention. They did not mention Stephan, nor the players who are carded and won't play. The other thing they think, that I found worth repeating, is that we can close them down in their end and stymie their outlets. Then, that their striker, Funes Mori, is more a guy to be in the box battling with the CBs and that he may lose in the air and Mexico may have problems finding him. So that they'd do better to not rely on him or else not play him there--and try to get mobility in attack and other variations to get through us. I personally agree that Mexico can do just this, combine in a way that can cause us problems as we fail to see who to mark where and fail to observe how the play is developing. In any case, we are going to need more numbers back and be helping each other a lot on coverage. BrennanFan, johnyb and cronaldo7 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheeta Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 By the way, Canada paying 6 to win and 18 to win 2-1 if you think that's that'll be the final scoreline. Just saying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaFan123 Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 It's just crazy to me how some of these "football nations" can be so ignorant about other national teams and players that play at top levels. Surely these Mexican journalists know about Timothy Weah and Eugene Pizzuto.. yet they don't know about one of the best players on the same club? The same guy who won the Golden Boot at the last Gold Cup?! Truthfully, I think we have the most knowledgeable football media in CONCACAF.
